Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Albertville, Minnesota
Minnesota statutes require the City to issue an annual report on its financial position and activity,
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and audited in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by a firm of licensed certified public
accountants, or the Office of the State Auditor. Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Albertville for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2024.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City of
Albertville. Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the
information contained in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control
standards that it has established for this purpose. Because the cost of internal control should
not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute
assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements. As
management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is
complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City of Albertville’s financial statements have been audited by the public accounting firm of
Abdo. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial
statements of the City of Albertville for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, are free of any
material misstatements. Included within this report, Abdo. has issued an unqualified opinion on
the City of Albertville’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s
report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial
statements. This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read
in conjunction with it.
Profile of the City of Albertville
The City of Albertville is located in the east central portion of Minnesota, approximately 35 miles
northwest of the Twin Cities, and approximately halfway between the metropolitan areas of
Minneapolis/St. Paul and St. Cloud. The City of Albertville is located in the northeastern portion
of Wright County, along the Interstate 94 corridor.
The City covers approximately 4.5 square miles. The current population is approximately 8,542.
The City of Albertville operates under the council/administrator form of government. The
governing body consists of the Mayor and four Council members, elected at large and on a non-
partisan basis. The Mayor is elected to a two-year term and four Council Members are elected to
a four-year term, with elections held in each even-numbered year. Not more than two Council
member’s terms expire in any one year.

The Mayor and Council appoint a full-time City Administrator, who is responsible for overall supervision of
City operations. The City Council is responsible for, among other things, passing ordinances, adopting
the budget, appointing committees, hiring the City Administrator, other staff and appointing consultants.
The City provides its residents and businesses with a full range of services, including fire protection, law
enforcement, public works, building inspection, planning and code enforcement, parks/trail improvements
and maintenance, curbside recycling and other general activities. The City contracts with the Wright
County Sheriff’s Department for law enforcement. In addition, the City offers the following services to
residents: water, sewer, storm drainage, and recycling, which are operated as enterprises. The City also
partners with neighboring communities to provide library and senior center services. In addition, the
governing body is financially accountable for the Economic Development Authority and therefore, these
activities are included in the reporting entity.
Relevant Financial Policies
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. Developing the
budget begins annually in June when the Finance Director prepares projected revenues and expenses for
the next year’s draft budget. Upon review and revisions by the Finance Director and City Administrator,
the draft budget is reviewed by the Department Heads. Department budget requests are compiled by the
Finance Director and reviewed by both the Finance Director and City Administrator. Integral to the budget
process are staff meetings to review the draft budget, which is then presented to the City Council. City
Council and staff work on the budget over the course of two to three budget workshops. Following
Council direction and public input, the preliminary budget is updated and brought back for City Council
approval. City Council adopts the preliminary budget in September and the Final Budget is adopted in
December of each year. General Fund and Capital Funds are appropriated annually based on the adopted
budget.
If a need arises for a significant budget amendment during the year, it is brought to City Council for
approval.
Also, available within, are notes pertaining to basic financial statements for information on the Joint
Powers Water Board (the City’s water operations, operated in conjunction with the cities of St. Michael
and Hanover).
Economic Condition and Outlook
Key factors affecting the City’s economic condition and financial outlook include:
• Based on permit activity, the local economy is strong and continues to grow. A total of 652
building permits were issued in 2024 with a total valuation of $31,601,635.
• The State of Minnesota continues its expansion of Interstate 94 through the City of Albertville.
• The area school districts are highly desirable and driving new residential interest to the area.
• Housing demand remains high and property values continue to rise.

Commercial, Industrial and Retail
The City of Albertville’s commercial activity remains steady and it is a priority of the City to stimulate new
commercial and industrial development. Currently, there are a number of commercial and industrial
projects underway, including:
• Medart Inc.
• Albertville Plaza 3rd (commercial subdivision)
• Costco (located in Otsego, but driving strong growth in Albertville)
• Redevelopment of east side of the Albertville Premium Outlet Mall
• New construction including: Si Senor Restaurant, Gravity Dance, Everbrook Daycare
• Industrial expansions including: Mold Tech Inc., Border States, and Fraser Steel
Major Initiatives
Maintenance and preservation of the City infrastructure and facilities is a priority for the City. In 2024, the
City completed multiple infrastructure improvements related to streets, utilities, trails and parks. Other
major initiatives include:
• The I-94 West Corridor Coalition
• Main Avenue NE reconstruction project
• Central Park improvements
• WTP Expansion
• WWTP Biosolids Dewatering Improvements
Long-term Financial Planning
The City of Albertville recognizes the importance of maintaining an appropriate level of fund balance.
Sound fiscal management of Albertville’s general fund operation budget is made more secure by
establishing City goals regarding the size and use of the annual general fund balances. This policy
provides two goals and measures for determining the appropriate fund balance. The security factor must
be met before the dependence factor can be applied. The City of Albertville will strive to meet these
goals.
1. Security. Ensure that, at NO time during budget preparation, the amounts remaining in current
year-end fund balance (defined as the prior year’s known fund balance amount less the amount
designated for application to the current year budget) be allowed to be less than 35% of the next
year’s planned budget for the General Fund as a minimum. As economic conditions warrant, an
amount larger than this shall be maintained. This will be applied to cash flow, revenue reserves
and insurance, and liability needs, or be available in the time of emergencies.
It is intended for the current fund balance to meet or exceed the 35% minimum and maintain a
level of 50% of next year’s expenditures. If the fund balance level falls below the 35% due to
unexpected expenses, a replenishment plan will be developed.
2. Dependence. In building the next year’s budget, the percentage of total annual budget financing
that can come from fund balances will not exceed 5% of the planned budget.
Property Taxes
To sustain or expand City services, while keeping property taxes stable, the Council has diligently strived
to maintain a level tax rate. The property tax levy for the year divided by the city-wide total net tax
capacity equals the tax rate.

Independent Audit
The financial statements were audited by Abdo, Certified Public Accountants, and their opinion has been
included in this report. The scope of the audit included the basic financial statements of the City for the
year ended December 31, 2024. Their audit was made in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. The scope of the audit was sufficient to satisfy state and
federal requirements. The auditors’ opinion on the City’s financial statements indicates that the auditors’
examination has disclosed no conditions which cause them to believe that the financial statements are
not fairly stated, in all material respects.
Certificate of Achievement
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its ACFR for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2023. This is the fourteenth consecutive year 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 ACFR, whose contents conforms to program standards. Such reports
must satisfy both accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current ACFR continues
to meet the Certificate of Achievement’s requirements and we are again submitting it to the GFOA to
determine its eligibility for another certificate.
Acknowledgments
I would like to commend Finance Director Lannes and the entire city staff for their hard work and
dedication. I would like to recognize the CPA firm Abdo for their professional assistance. Finally, thank
you to the Mayor and members of the City Council for your continued interest and support in planning and
conducting the financial operations of the City in a very responsible and professional manner.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Albertville, Minnesota
Report on the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Albertville, Minnesota (the City), as of and for the
year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s
basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial
position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City as of December 31, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable,
cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the General fund for the year then ended in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
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. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the city and to meet our
other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
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.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events,
considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve
months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt
shortly thereafter.
21
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial
likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on
the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error
and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test
basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise
substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the
audit.
Change in Accounting Principle
As described in Note 8 to the financial statements, the City adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standard
Board (GASB) Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences, for the year ended December 31, 2024. Adoption of the
provisions of these statements results in significant change to the classifications of the components of the financial
statements. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and
Analysis starting on page 25 and the Schedules of Employer’s Share of the Net Pension Liability, the Schedules of
Employer’s Contributions, the related note disclosures, the Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability (Asset) and
Related Ratios starting on page 92 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the
responsibility of management and, 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.
22
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise the
City’s basic financial statements. The accompanying combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules
are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and related directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The 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 fund
financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements
as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information in the annual report. The other information comprises the
introductory section and statistical section but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report
thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statement do not cover the other information, and we do not express an
opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and
consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the
other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an
uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated April 24, 2025, on our
consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to
describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing,
and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance.
That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the
City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
As management of the City of Albertville, Minnesota, (the City), we offer readers of the City’s financial statements this
narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Financial Highlights
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year as shown in the summary of net position on the following
pages. The unrestricted amount of net position may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens
and creditors.
• The City’s total net position increased as shown in the summary of changes in net position table on the following
pages. This increase is attributable to program revenues exceeding expenses during the year; more specifically,
property taxes levied for general purposes which grew as a result of a 19% increase in net tax capacity, and sales
from services due to a 2% average increase plus restructuring the fee schedule in utility rates for business-type
activities. With the business-type activities all the rates were evaluated and some were restructured. In addition,
there were a few new homes built and several unplanned commercial/industrial buildings added.
• For the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds fund balances are shown in the Financial Analysis of the
City's Funds section of the MD&A.
• Unassigned fund balance in the general fund as shown in the financial analysis of the City’s funds section
increased from the prior year due to revenues in excess of budget due to additional permit revenue of commercial
properties and new fees implemented.
• The City’s total bonded debt decreased during the current fiscal year. The decrease was a result of scheduled
debt service payments as shown on the outstanding debt table.
25
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The City’s
basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial
statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplemental information in addition
to the basic financial statements themselves.
The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide
more detailed data. The statements are followed by a section of combining and individual fund financial statements and
schedules which further explain and support the information in the financial statements. Figure 1 shows how the required
parts of this annual report are arranged and relate to one another. In addition to these required elements, we have
included a section with combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules that provide details about non-
major governmental funds, which are added together and presented in single columns in the basic financial statements.

Government-wide Financial Statements. The Government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with
a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City’s assets and deferred outflows of resources, and
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or
deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the most recent
fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs,
regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items
that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
27
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes
and intergovernmental revenue (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a
significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of
the City 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 include sewer, water, storm water and recycling.
The government-wide financial statements start on page 39 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that
have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund
accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can
be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as
well as 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 maintains several individual 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 fund, Debt Service, and Capital Outlay Reserve funds - all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from
the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these
non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements or schedules elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been
provided for the General fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements start on page 44 of this report.
Proprietary Funds. The City maintains one type of proprietary fund. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions
presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to
account for its sewer, water, storm water and recycling operations.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail.
The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for each of the enterprise funds.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements start on page 50 of this report.
Fiduciary Funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the City.
Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are
not available to support the City’s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for
proprietary funds.
The basic fiduciary fund financial statements are on page 55 of this report.
Notes to the 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 start on
page 59 of this report.

Supplementary Information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also
presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City’s progress in funding its obligation to provide
pension and other post-employment benefits to its employees. Required supplementary information can be found starting
on page 92 of this report.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds are presented following
the notes to the financial statements. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules start on page 10 4 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, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities the close of the most recent fiscal year.
By far, the largest portion of the City’s net position reflects its net investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings,
machinery and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire those ass ets that is still outstanding. The City uses
these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.
Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources
needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to
liquidate these liabilities.

An additional portion of the City’s net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they
may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to
citizens and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net position, both
for the City as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business -type activities.
Governmental Activities. Governmental activities increased the City’s net position. Significant changes from the prior year
can be attributed to the increase in relation to taxes and charges for services. Business -type activities increased the City’s
net position mainly due to capital grants and contributions for the waste water treatment facility. The City of Albertville is
finishing up a several million-dollar improvement for the wastewater facility. The project was to move toward dewatering
and away from use of reedbeds required by the MPCA. This was a multi-year project expected to finish Spring 2025. For
this project there were grants, contributions and bonding to fund the project.

Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements.
Governmental Funds: The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term 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.

The General fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current year, the fund balance of the General
fund is shown in the table above. As a measure of the General fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare unassigned
fund balance to total fund expenditures. The total unassigned fund balance as a percent of total fund expenditures is
shown in the chart below along with total fund balance as a percentage of total expenditures.

The fund balance of the City’s General fund increased during the current fiscal year as shown in the table above. The
increase is mainly due to interest earnings increasing and building permit revenue in excess of the budget. The City of
Albertville had unexpected commercial projects including a major distribution center, restaurant plus an industrial building
project for the year. In addition added a gas franchise fee.

Actual revenues were over the final budget and expenditures were also over the final budget amounts as shown above.
Revenues came in above the final budget due to large favorable variances from intergovernmental revenue such as the
Fire Contract providing service to a portion of a neighboring city and investment earnings. Also, with commercial and
industrial permits allowed the revenue to go over what was budgeted by approximately $114,000. In addition, the City
implemented a gas franchise fee which revenues of $136,000 was collected. Expenditures also came in over the final
budget due to unfavorable variances related to general government and public safety expenditures. There was a large
increase in our Sherrif’s contract in addition to several large expenses for the upcoming Main Ave reconstruction project
and Central Park Improvements. The projects are going to start in 2025 once bids are approved and contracts awarded of
which will take 2 years for completion. The pre-construction costs such as planning and engineering are expenses
exceeding the budgeted engineering by approximately $365,000.

Governmental Activities Business-type Activities
The City’s total bonded debt decreased during the current fiscal year. The decrease was a result of scheduled debt service
payments.
Minnesota statutes limit the amount of net general obligation debt a City may issue to 3 percent of the market value of
taxable property within the City. Net debt is debt payable solely from ad valorem taxes. The City’s applicable debt does not
exceed the limit set forth in statute.
35
Additional information on the City’s long-term debt can be found in Note 3D starting on page 73 of this report.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates
Residential property values continue to show stable growth and home improvement activity remains strong. New housing
starts will be limited as there is limited land zoned for new housing.
Commercial property values have increased and commercial interest is strong. The interstate highway, proximity to
metropolitan areas, and strong residential markets in neighboring cities will continue to promote Albertville’s commercial
growth. The city had 6 commercial businesses added in 2024 plus 1 industrial project.
Budgeted capital projects are generally targeted towards maintenance and preservation of the City’s infrastructure. The
City of Albertville budgets for future projects such as roads, equipment, other capital purchases rather than bond,
certificate or loan of which them amounts individually doesn’t seem fiscal responsible to bond for. The City follows a five
year capital project plan which is reviewed and updated annually.
Budgeted contract services are reviewed and adjusted annually. Contract services for the city are used for items where it
wouldn’t be fiscally responsible to have full-time staff and infrastructure. The largest contracted service is with the
Sherriff’s department.
State and/or Federal funds received due to the COVID 19 pandemic are expected to be used for economic development
and/or capital improvements. The City has used the funds for capital purchases such as water meters, equipment, lift
station upgrades, generators and vehicles. The $823. 878 has all been obligated. The city has purchased and received
$695,875 with the remaining obligatory amount of $128,003 for the generators expected delivery in 2025.

Reconciliation of the Balance Sheet
to the Statement of Net Position
December 31, 2024

Total Fund Balances - Governmental 12,847,026$
Governmental funds do not report an asset for equity interest in the joint venture 269,786
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial
resources and therefore are not reported as assets in governmental funds.
Cost of capital assets 55,897,428
Less: accumulated depreciation (32,392,903)

current period and therefore are not reported as liabilities in the funds.
Long-term liabilities at year-end consist of
Compensated absences payable (157,916)
Bond principal payable (1,944,674)
Net pension liability (641,474)
Some receivables are not available soon enough to pay for the current period's expenditures,
and therefore are deferred in the funds.
Special assessments 506,953
Taxes 28,721
Notes/intergovernmental 2,550,910
Governmental funds do not report long-term amounts related to pension.
Deferred outflows of pension resources 625,853

City of Albertville, Minnesota
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and
Changes in Fund Balances to the Statement of Activities
Governmental Funds
For the Year Ended December 31, 2024
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because
Total Change Is Fund Balances 360,343$
Governmental funds do not report income or loss in a joint venture.19,339
Capital outlays are reported in governmental funds as expenditures. However, in the statement of
activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over the estimated useful lives as depreciation expense.
Capital outlays 2,356,841
Depreciation expense (1,619,239)
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while
the repayment of principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental
funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds report
the effect of premiums, discounts and similar items when debt is first issued,
whereas these amounts are amortized in the statement of activities.
Principal repayments 581,000
Amortization of loss on refunding and premium (31,821)
Interest on long-term debt in the statement of activities differs from the amount reported in the
governmental fund because interest is recognized as an expenditure in the funds when it is due,
and thus requires the use of current financial resources. In the statement of activities, however,
interest expense is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due.2,985
Long-term pension activity is not reported in governmental funds.
Pension expense (73,102)
Pension revenue 27,018
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources
and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds.
Compensated absences (58,929)
Certain revenues are recognized as soon as they are earned. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting
certain revenues cannot be recognized until they are available to liquidate liabilities of the current period.
Special assessments 6,200
Taxes (7,973)

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2024
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Albertville, Minnesota (the City) operates under the "Optional Plan A" form of government as defined in the
State of Minnesota statutes. Under this plan, the government of the City is directed by a City Council composed of an
elected Mayor and four elected City Council members. The City Council exercises legislative authority and determines all
matters of policy. The City Council appoints personnel responsible for the proper administration of all affairs relating to
the City. 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.
Blended Component Unit
The Albertville Economic Development Authority (EDA) is a legal separate entity created to carry out economic
development activities. The EDA is governed by five members, which consists of the City Council and the operational
responsibility for the EDA rests with the management of the City. The criterion that results in the EDA being reported as a
blended component unit include 1) the five board members are members of the City Council and 2) the operational
responsibility of the EDA rests with the management of the City. The EDA does not issue separate financial statements
and are included in the financial section of this report.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report
information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes
and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on
fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are
offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly
benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that
are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other
items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. Major
individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund
financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. All fiduciary funds, including custodial funds,
use the economic resources measurement focus 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 are recognized as
revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility
requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
59
City of Albertville, Minnesota
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2024
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available.
Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to
pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within
60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under
accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and
claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be
susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special
assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the
current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the
City.
Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal value, is recorded
on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. On a modified accrual basis, revenue is recorded in the year in which
the resources are measurable and become available.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City receives value without directly giving equal value in return, include property
taxes, grants, entitlement and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the year for
which the tax is levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements and donations is recognized in the year in which all eligibility
requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the
resources are required to be used or the year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the City must
provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are
provided to the City on a reimbursement basis. On a modified accrual basis, revenue from non-exchange transactions
must also be available before it can be recognized.
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.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the City, except those
required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Debt Service fund accounts for the accumulation of resources and payment of bond principal and interest on
long-term general obligation debt of governmental funds.
The Capital Outlay Reserve fund accounts for the accumulation of resources necessary to fund future capital
improvements and equipment purchases.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Sewer fund accounts for the activities of the City’s sewage collection utility.
The Water fund accounts for the activities of the City’s water utility.

City of Albertville, Minnesota
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2024
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Fiduciary Funds
Custodial funds are used to report fiduciary activities that are not required to be reported in pension (and other
employee benefit) trust funds, investment trust funds, or private-purpose trust funds. The City’s Custodial fund
accounts for activities of St. Michael-Albertville Ice Arena, Albertville Lions and Friendly City Days. The City manages
the assets on behalf of these entities and administers the assets according to each entities guidance.
The STMA Arena fund accounts for the activities of the ice arena which is jointly owned by the City of St. Michael, the
City of Albertville and the Independent School District No. 885.
The Albertville Lions fund accounts for the activities of the Albertville Lions Club.
The Friendly City Days fund accounts for the activities of the City’s Friendly City Days celebration.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from government-wide financial statements.
Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City’s water and sewer functions and various other functions of
the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various
functions concerned.
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 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 revenues and expenses.
D. Assets, Deferred Outflows of Resources, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows of Resources and Net Position/Fund Balances
Deposits 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. The proprietary funds’ portion in the
government-wide cash and temporary investments pool is considered to be cash and cash equivalents for purposes of
the statement of cash flows.
Cash balances from all funds are pooled and invested, to the extent available, in certificates of deposit and other
authorized investments. Earnings from such investments are allocated on the basis of applicable participation by each of
the funds.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The City may also invest idle funds as authorized by Minnesota statutes, as follows:
1. Direct obligations or obligations guaranteed by the United States or its agencies.
2. Shares of investment companies registered under the Federal Investment Company Act of 1940 and received the
highest credit rating, rated in one of the two highest rating categories by a statistical rating agency, and have a
final maturity of thirteen months or less.
3. General obligations of a state or local government with taxing powers rated “A” or better; revenue obligations
rated “AA” or better.
4. General obligations of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency rated “A” or better.
5. Obligation of a school district with an original maturity not exceeding 13 months and (i) rated in the highest
category by a national bond rating service or (ii) enrolled in the credit enhancement program pursuant to statute
section 126C.55.
6. Bankers’ acceptances of United States banks eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System.
7. Commercial paper issued by United States banks corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries, of highest quality
category by at least two nationally recognized rating agencies, and maturing in 270 days or less.
8. Repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements with financial institutions
qualified as a “depository” by the government entity, with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System
with capitalization exceeding $10,000,000, a primary reporting dealer in U.S. government securities to the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, or certain Minnesota securities broker-dealers.
9. Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GIC’s) issued or guaranteed by a United States commercial bank, a domestic
branch of a foreign bank, a United States insurance company, or its Canadian subsidiary, whose similar debt
obligations were rated in one of the top two rating categories by a nationally recognized rating agency.
Broker money market funds operate in accordance with appropriate state laws and regulations. The reported value of the
pool is the same as the fair value of the shares.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted
accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1
inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level
3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
The City has the following recurring fair value measurements as of December 31, 2024:
• Brokered Certificates of Deposit are valued using quoted market prices (Level 2 inputs)
• Municipal Bonds are values using a matrix pricing model (Level 2 inputs)
• Governmental Securities are values using a matrix pricing model (Level 1 inputs)
• Mortgage Backed Securities are values using a matrix pricing model (Level 1 inputs)
See investments disclosure in note 3 for additional information.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The Minnesota Municipal Money Market Fund is regulated by Minnesota statutes and the Board of Directors of the
League of Minnesota Cities and is an external investment pool not registered with the Securities Exchange Commission
(SEC) that follows the regulatory rules of the SEC. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 79, the City’s investment in
this pool is valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. There are no restrictions or limitations on
withdrawals from the 4M Liquid Asset Fund. Investments in the 4M Plus must be deposited for a minimum of 14 calendar
days. Withdrawals prior to the 14-day restriction period will be subject to a penalty equal to seven days interest on the
amount withdrawn. Seven days' notice of redemption is required for withdrawals of investments in the 4M Term Series
withdrawn prior to the maturity date of that series. A penalty could be assessed as necessary to recoup the Series for any
charges, losses, and other costs attributable to the early redemption. Financial statements of the 4M Fund can be
obtained by contracting RBC Global Management at 100 South Fifth Street, Suite 2300, Minneapolis, MN 55402-1240.
Investment Policy
The City’s investment policy incorporates Minnesota statutes as described above which reduces the City’s exposure to
credit, custodial credit and interest rate risks. Specific risk information for the City is as follows:
• Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its
obligations. Ratings are provided by various credit rating agencies and where applicable, indicate associated
credit risk. Minnesota statutes and the City’s investment policy limit the City’s investments to the list above.
• Custodial Credit Risk. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral
securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The City’s investments held by the broker-dealer were
insured by SIPC or other supplemental insurance as of December 31, 2024. However, each investment brokerage
firm may have a limit to their supplemental insurance and because of the size of the City’s portfolio in relation to
the brokerage firm’s excess SIPC coverage limits the portion of the supplemental policy applicable to the City’s
portfolio is unknown. The City’s investment policy does not address custodial credit risk. The City accepts the
risk due to the controls in place at the broker-dealer.
• Concentration of Credit Risk. Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a
government's investment in a single issuer. In accordance with the City’s investment policy, the City diversifies its
investment portfolio to eliminate the risk of loss resulting from over-concentration of assets in a specific maturity,
a specific issuer or a specific class of securities. The maturities selected shall provide for stability of income and
reasonable liquidity.
• Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of
an investment. In accordance with its investment policy, the City will attempt to match its investments with
anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the City will not directly invest in
securities maturing more than an average expected life of ten years from the date of the purchase.
Property Taxes
The City Council annually adopts a tax levy in December and certifies it to the County for collection in the following year.
The County is responsible for collecting all property taxes for the City. These taxes attach an enforceable lien on taxable
property within the City on January 1 and are payable by the property owners in two installments. The taxes are collected
by the County Auditor and tax settlements are made to the City during January, June, and November each year.
Delinquent taxes receivable include the past six years’ uncollected taxes. Delinquent taxes have been offset by a deferred
inflow of resources for taxes not received within 60 days after year end in the fund financial statements.
63
City of Albertville, Minnesota
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2024
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable include amounts billed for services provided before year end. To the extent considered necessary,
the City annually certifies delinquent water, sewer and storm water accounts to the County for collection in the following
year. Therefore, there has been no allowance for doubtful accounts established.
Special Assessments
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. Special assessments are recognized as
revenue when they are received in cash or within 60 days after year end. All governmental fund special assessments
receivable are offset by a deferred inflow of resources in the fund financial statements.
Interfund Receivables and Payables
All outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds” 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.”
Land Held for Resale
The City acquires properties for redevelopment purposes. These properties are reported at their net realizable value in the
financial statements. Any costs incurred that are above a property’s net realizable value are reported as expenditures of
the current period. The balance of land held for resale is offset with nonspendable or restricted fund balance to indicate
that it is not available for appropriation.
Notes Receivable
Notes receivable include amounts paid by or loaned by the City that will be paid back by other entities. A portion of the
notes are forgivable base on if certain criteria is met. The forgivable portion of the notes are offset by an allowance for
uncollectible account.
Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories held for resale are stated at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and inventories
of supplies are reported at cost. Inventories in governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather
than when purchased.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items and
are recorded as prepaid items. The City uses the consumption method to account for all prepaid items.

December 31, 2024
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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 City as assets with an estimated useful life of more than one year
and an initial individual cost of more than the following:
Category Cost
Land/Land Improvements 10,000$
Other Improvements 25,000
Infrastructure 100,000
Buildings 25,000
Building Improvements 25,000
Vehicles 5,000
Other Equipment 5,000
Intangible Assets 10,000
The City reports infrastructure assets on a network and subsystem basis. Accordingly, the amounts spent for the
construction or acquisition of infrastructure assets are capitalized and reported in the government-wide financial
statements regardless of their amount.
In the case of initial capitalization of general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by governmental activities) the City
chose to include items dating back to June 30, 1980. The City was able to estimate the historical cost for the initial
reporting of these assets through back trending (i.e., estimating the current replacement cost of the infrastructure to be
capitalized and using an appropriate price-level index to deflate the cost to the acquisition year or estimated acquisition
year). As the City constructs or acquires capital assets each period, including infrastructure assets, they are capitalized
and reported at historical cost. The reported value excludes normal maintenance and repairs which are essentially
amounts spent in relation to capital assets that do not increase the capacity or efficiency of the item or extend its useful
life beyond the original estimate. In the case of donations, the City values these capital assets at the acquisition value of
the item at the date of its donation.
Property, plant and equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Useful Lives
Assets in Years
Land Improvements 5 to 30
Infrastructure 15 to 50
Buildings 15 to 40
Vehicles 3 to 15
Other Equipment 3 to 20

City of Albertville, Minnesota
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2024
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Deferred Outflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net 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
assets that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until
then. The City has one item that qualifies for reporting in this category. The item, deferred pension resources, is 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.
Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense,
information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) and additions
to/deductions from PERA’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by PERA
except that PERA’s fiscal year end is June 30. For this purpose, plan contributions are recognized as of employer payroll
paid dates and benefit payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Investments are reported at fair value. The General fund is typically used to liquidate the governmental net pension
liability. For purposes of measuring the net pension liability (asset) and deferred outflows of resources related to
pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the defined benefit plan administered by
the Albertville Firefighter’s 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.
The total pension expense for the GERP, PEPFF, PEDCP and the Albertville Fire Relief Association is as follows:
GERP PEPFF PEDCP FRA Total
City's proportionate share 115,945$ 36,003$ 120$ 237,153$ 389,221$
Proportionate share of State's contribution 523 653 - - 1,176
Total pension expense 116,468$ 36,656$ 120$ 237,153$ 390,397
Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. All vacation
and sick 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. The General fund is typically used to liquidate the governmental compensated absences
liability.
Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt
and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type
activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position. The recognition of bond premiums and discounts are
amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond
premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as an expense in the period incurred.

City of Albertville, Minnesota
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2024
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognized bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond
issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources.
Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are
reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are
reported as debt service expenditures.
Deferred Inflows of Resources
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net 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 assets that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an inflow of
resources (revenue) until that time. The City has only one type of item, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of
accounting that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the
governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from three sources: property
taxes, special assessments and notes/intergovernmental receivable. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an
inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
The City has an additional item which qualifies for reporting in this category. The item, deferred pension resources, is
reported only in the statements of net position and results from actuarial calculations.
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 the governmental funds. These
classifications are defined as follows:
Nonspendable - Amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form, such as land held for resale.
Restricted - Amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by creditors, grantors or contributors; or
constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
Committed - Amounts constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed by formal action (resolution) of
the City Council, which is the City’s highest level of decision-making authority. Committed amounts cannot be used
for any other purpose unless the City Council modifies or rescinds the commitment by resolution.
Assigned - Amounts constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed. In governmental funds other than
the General fund, assigned fund balance represents all remaining amounts that are not classified as nonspendable
and are neither restricted nor committed. In the General fund, assigned amounts represent intended uses established
by the City Council itself or by an official to which the governing body delegates the authority. The City Council has
adopted a fund balance policy which delegates the authority to assign amounts for specific purposes to the Finance
Director and/or City Administrator.
Unassigned - The residual classification for the General fund and also negative residual amounts in other funds.
The City considers 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 has formally adopted a fund balance policy for the General fund. The City’s policy is to maintain a minimum
unassigned fund balance of 35 percent of next year’s budgeted operating expenditures for cash-flow timing needs.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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:
a. Net investment in capital assets - Consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation reduced by any
outstanding debt attributable to acquire capital assets.
b. Restricted net position - Consist of net position restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use through
external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, laws or regulations of other governments.
c. Unrestricted net position - All other net positions that do 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.
Note 2: Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability
A. Budgetary Information
An annual budget is adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for the General fund. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. The City does not use encumbrance
accounting.
In June of each year, all departments of the City submit requests for appropriations to the City Administrator so that a
budget may be prepared. Before September 30, the proposed budget is presented to the City Council for review. The City
Council holds public hearings and a final budget is prepared and adopted in early December.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. The City’s department heads, with the approval of
the City Administrator, may make transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers of appropriations between
departments require the approval of the City Council. The legal level of budgetary control is the department level.
Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted by the City Council. There were no budget amendments made in 2024.
B. Deficit Fund Equity
The following funds had deficit fund balances as of December 31, 2024:
Amount
Nonmajor
TIF #12 Schultz & Schupp 420$
TIF #17 Old Castle 231,299
TIF #20 Scherer Brothers 635,268
TIF #21 Medart 11,888
Fund

A. Deposits and Investments
Deposits
Custodial credit risk for deposits and investments is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposits and
investments may not be returned or the City will not be able to recover collateral securities in the possession of an outside
party. In accordance with Minnesota statutes and as authorized by the City Council, the City maintains deposits at those
depository banks, all of which are members of the Federal Reserve System.
Minnesota statutes require that all City deposits be protected by insurance, surety bond or collateral. The fair value of
collateral pledged must equal 110 percent of the deposits not covered by insurance or bonds, with the exception of
irrevocable standby letters of credit issued by Federal Home Loan Banks as this type of collateral only requires collateral
pledged equal to 100 percent of the deposits not covered by insurance or bonds.
Authorized collateral in lieu of a corporate surety bond includes:
• United States government Treasury bills, Treasury notes, Treasury bonds;
• Issues of United States government agencies and instrumentalities as quoted by a recognized industry quotation
service available to the government entity;
• General obligation securities of any state or local government with taxing powers which is rated “A” or better by a
national bond rating service, or revenue obligation securities of any state or local government with taxing powers
which is rated “AA” or better by a national bond rating service;
• General obligation securities of a local government with taxing powers may be pledged as collateral against funds
deposited by that same local government entity;
• Irrevocable standby letters of credit issued by Federal Home Loan Banks to a municipality accompanied by
written evidence that the bank’s public debt is rated “AA” or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or Standard
& Poor’s Corporation; and
• Time deposits that are fully insured by any federal agency.
Minnesota statutes require that all collateral shall be placed in safekeeping in a restricted account at a 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 selection should be approved by the government entity.

B. Benefits Provided
General Employee Plan Benefits
The City participates in the following cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans administered by the
Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). These plan provisions are established and administered
according to Minnesota Statutes chapters 353, 353D, 353E, 353G and 356. Minnesota Statutes chapter 356 defines each
plan’s financial reporting requirements. PERA’s defined benefit pension plans are tax qualified plans under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Membership in the General Plan includes employees of counties, cities, townships, schools in non-certified positions,
and other governmental entities whose revenues are derived from taxation, fees, or assessments. Plan membership is
required for any employee who is expected to earn more than $425 in a month, unless the employee meets exclusion
criteria.
Membership in the Police and Fire Plan includes full-time, licensed police officers and firefighters who meet the
membership criteria defined in Minnesota Statutes section 353.64 and who are not earning service credit in any other
PERA retirement plan or a local relief association for the same service. Employers can provide Police and Fire Plan
coverage for part-time positions and certain other public safety positions by submitting a resolution adopted by the
entity’s governing body. The resolution must state that the position meets plan requirements.
PERA provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are established by state statute and can only
be modified by the state Legislature. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits, but are not receiving
them yet, are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their public service. When a member is
“vested,” they have earned enough service credit to receive a lifetime monthly benefit after leaving public service and
reaching an eligible retirement age. Members who retire at or over their Social Security full retirement age with at least
one year of service qualify for a retirement benefit.
General Employees Plan requires three years of service to vest. 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 General Plan members. Members hired prior to July 1, 1989, receive the higher of the Step
or Level formulas. Only the Level formula is used for members hired after June 30, 1989. Under the Step formula,
General Plan members receive 1.2 percent of the highest average salary for each of the first 10 years of service and 1.7
percent for each additional year. Under the Level formula, General Plan members receive 1.7 percent of highest average
salary for all years of service. For members hired prior to July 1, 1989 a full retirement benefit is available when age plus
years of service equal 90 and normal retirement age is 65. Members can receive a reduced requirement benefit as early
as age 55 if they have three or more years of service. Early retirement benefits are reduced by .25 percent for each
month under age 65. Members with 30 or more years of service can retire at any age with a reduction of 0.25 percent for
each month the member is younger than age 62. The Level formula allows General Plan members to receive a full
retirement benefit at age 65 if they were first hired before July 1, 1989 or at age 66 if they were hired on or after July 1,
1989. Early retirement begins at age 55 with an actuarial reduction applied to the benefit.

General Employees Fund Pension Costs
At December 31, 2024, the City reported a liability of $754,926 for its proportionate share of the General Employees
Fund’s net pension liability. The City's net pension liability reflected a reduction due to the State of Minnesota’s
contribution of $16 million. The State of Minnesota is considered a non-employer contributing entity and the state’s
contribution meets the definition of a special funding situation. The State of Minnesota’s proportionate share of the net
pension liability associated with the City totaled $19,521.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. The postretirement increase is equal to 50 percent of
the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) announced by the SSA, with a minimum increase of at least 1 percent and a
maximum of 1.5 percent. The 2024 annual increase was 1.5 percent. Recipients that have been receiving the annuity or
benefit for at least a full year as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase will receive the full increase.
Recipients receiving the annuity or benefit for at least one month but less than a full year as of the June 30 before the
effective date of the increase will receive a prorated increase.
Benefits for Police and Fire Plan members hired before July 1, 2010, are vested after three years of service. Members
hired on or after July 1, 2010, are 50 percent vested after five years of service and 100 percent vested after ten years.
After five years, vesting increase by 10 percent each full year of service until members are 100 percent vested after ten
years. Police and Fire Plan members receive 3 percent of highest average salary for all years of service. Police and Fire
Plan members receive a full retirement benefit when they are age 55 and vested, or when their age plus their years of
service equals 90 or greater if they were first hired before July 1, 1989. Early retirement starts at age 50, and early
retirement benefits are reduced by 0.417 percent each month members are younger than age 55.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. The postretirement increase is fixed at 1 percent.
Recipients that have been receiving the annuity or benefit for at least 36 months as of the June 30 before the effective
date of the increase will receive the full increase. Recipients receiving the annuity or benefit for at least 25 months but
less than 36 months as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase will receive a reduced prorated increase.
Minnesota Statutes chapters 353, 353E, 353G and 356 set the rates for employer and employee contributions.
Contribution rates can only be modified by the state Legislature.
General Plan members were required to contribute 6.50 percent of their annual covered salary in fiscal year 2024 and the
City was required to contribute 7.50 percent for Coordinated Plan members. The City’s contributions to the General
Employees Fund for the years ending December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, were $140,213, $122,281 and $106,351,

The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2024, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net
pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The City’s proportion of the net pension liability
was based on the City’s contributions received by PERA during the measurement period for employer payroll paid dates
from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, relative to the total employer contributions received from all of PERA’s
participating employers. The City’s proportionate share was 0.0204 percent at the end of the measurement period and
0.0189 percent for the beginning of the period.
During the plan year ended June 30, 2024, the State of Minnesota contributed $170.1 million to the General Employees
Fund. The State of Minnesota is not included as a non-employer contributing entity in the General Employees Plan
pension allocation schedules for the $170.1 million in direct state aid because this contribution was not considered to
meet the definition of a special funding situation. The City recognized $34,734 for the year ended December 31, 2024 as

The State of Minnesota is not included as a non-employer contributing entity in the Police and Fire Pension Plan pension
allocation schedules for the $28.4 million in supplemental state aid because this contribution was not considered to
meet the definition of a special funding situation. The City recognized $3,304 for the year ended December 31, 2024 as

The State of Minnesota contributed $37.4 million to the Police and Fire Fund in the plan fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
The contribution consisted of $9 million in direct state aid that meets the definition of a special funding situation,
additional one-time direct state aid contribution of $19.4 million, and $9 million in supplemental state aid that does not
meet the definition of a special funding situation. Additionally, $9 million supplemental state aid was paid on October 1,
2024. Thereafter, by October 1 of each year, the state will pay $9 million to the Police and Fire Fund until full funding is
reached or July 1, 2048, whichever is earlier. The $9 million in supplemental state aid will continue until the fund is 90
percent funded, or until the State Patrol Plan (administered by the Minnesota State Retirement System) is 90 percent

F. Actuarial Assumptions
The following changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions occurred in 2024:
General Employees Fund
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions
Changes in Plan Provisions
- The workers’ compensation offset for disability benefits was eliminated. The actuarial equivalent factors updated to
reflect the changes in assumptions.
The total pension liability for each of the cost-sharing defined benefit plans was determined by an actuarial valuation as
of June 30, 2024, using the entry age normal actuarial cost method. The long-term rate of return on pension plan
investments used to determine the total liability is 7.0%. The 7.0% assumption is based on a review of inflation and
investment return assumptions from a number of national investment consulting firms. The review provided a range of
investment return rates considered reasonable by the actuary. An investment return of 7.0% is within that range.
Inflation is assumed to be 2.25% for the General Employees Plan and Police and Fire Plan.
Benefit increases after retirement are assumed to be 1.25% for the General Employees Plan and 1.0% for the Police and
Fire Plan.
Salary growth assumptions in the General Employees Plan range in annual increments from 10.25% after one year of
service to 3.0% after 27 years of service. In the Police and Fire Plan, salary growth assumptions range in annual
increments from 11.75% after one year of service to 3.0% after 24 years of service.
Mortality rates for the General Employees Plan are based on the Pub-2010 General Employee Mortality Table. Mortality
rates for the Police and Fire Plan are based on the Pub-2010 Public Safety Employee Mortality tables. The tables are
adjusted slightly to fit PERA’s experience.
Actuarial assumptions for the General Employees Plan are reviewed every four years. The General Employees Plan was
last reviewed in 2022. The assumption changes were adopted by the board and became effective with the July 1, 2023
actuarial valuation. The Police and Fire Plan were reviewed in 2024. PERA anticipates the experience study will be
approved by the Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement and become effective with the July 1, 2025
- Rates of merit and seniority were adjusted, resulting in slightly higher rates.
- Assumed rates of retirement were adjusted as follows: increase the rate of assumed unreduced retirements, slight
adjustments to Rule of 90 retirement rates, and slight adjustments to early retirement rates for Tier 1 and Tier 2
members.
- Minor increase in assumed withdrawals for males and females.
- Lower rates of disability.
- Continued use of Pub-2010 general mortality table with slight rate adjustments as recommended in the most recent
experience study.
- Minor changes to form of payment assumptions for male and female retirees.
- Minor changes to assumptions made with respect to missing participant data.

I. Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position
- The State contribution of $9 million per year will continue until the earlier of 1) both the Police and Fire Plan and the
State Patrol Retirement Fund attain 90.0 percent funded status for three consecutive years (on an actuarial value of
assets basis) or 2) July 1, 2048. The contribution was previously due to expire after attaining a 90.0 percent funded
status for one year.
- The additional $9 million contribution will continue until the Police and Fire Plan is fully funded for a minimum of three
consecutive years on an actuarial value of assets basis, or July 1, 2048, whichever is earlier. This contribution was
previously due to expire upon attainment of fully funded status on an actuarial value of assets basis for one year (or July
1, 2048 if earlier).
Detailed information about each pension plan’s fiduciary net position is available in a separately issued PERA financial
report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained on the
Internet at www.mnpera.org.
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2024 was 7.0 percent. The projection of cash flows used
to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members and employers will be made at rates set
in Minnesota Statutes. Based on these assumptions, the fiduciary net position of the General Employees and Police and
Fire Plans were projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members.
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected
benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
The following presents the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for all plans it participates in, calculated
using the discount rate disclosed in the preceding paragraph, as well as what the City’s proportionate share of the net
pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate one percentage point lower or one percentage point
higher than the current discount rate:
- There were no changes in actuarial assumptions since the previous valuation.

Note 5: Public Employees Defined Contribution Plan (Defined Contribution Plan)
Elected Officials are covered by the Defined Contribution Plan, a multiple-employer deferred compensation plan
administered by PERA. The Defined Contribution Plan 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
five percent of salary which is matched by the elected official's employer. Employer contributions for volunteer personnel
may be a unit value for each call or period of alert duty. Employees who are paid for their services may elect to make
member contributions in an amount not to exceed the employer share. Employer and employee contributions are
combined and used to purchase shares in one or more of the seven accounts of the Minnesota Supplemental Investment
Fund. For administering the plan, PERA receives 2.0 percent of employer contributions and twenty-five hundredths of 1.0
percent (0.25 percent) of the assets in each member's account annually.
Total contributions made by the City during the fiscal year 2024 was $120
Note 6: Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Fire Relief Association
A. Plan Description
All members of the Albertville Fire Department (the Department) are covered by a defined benefit plan administered by the
Albertville Fireman’s Relief Association (the Association). As of December 31, 2024, the plan covered 25 active firefighters
and 4 vested terminated fire fighters 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 (chapter 261 as amended by chapter 509 of
Minnesota statutes 1980). Funds are also derived from investment income.
B. Benefits Provided
A firefighter 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 10 years of service, shall be equal to
60 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 10 years of active membership are entitled to a reduced service pension not
to exceed the amount calculated by multiplying the member's service pension for the completed years of service times
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 in fire state aid to the plan on behalf of
the Albertville Fire Department for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was recorded as a revenue. Required
employer contributions are calculated annually based on statutory provisions. The City made no voluntary contributions to
the plan. The firefighter has no obligation to contribute to the plan.

The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 5.50 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 8: Other Information
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. An excess coverage insurance policy covers individual claims in excess of $1,000,000. 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. Legal Debt Margin
In accordance with Minnesota statutes, the City may not incur or be subject to net debt in excess of three percent of the
market value of taxable property within the City. Net debt is payable solely from ad valorem taxes and, therefore, excludes
debt financed partially or entirely by special assessments, enterprise fund revenues or tax increments. The City’s
applicable debt does not exceed the limit.
C. Conduit Debt Obligations

study (dated June 29, 2023): Rates of merit and seniority were adjusted, resulting in slightly higher rates. Assumed rates of retirement were
adjusted as follows: increase the rate of assumed unreduced retirements, slight adjustments to Rule of 90 retirement rates, and slight
adjustments to early retirement rates for Tier 1 and Tier 2 members. Minor increase in assumed withdrawals for males and females. Lower
rates of disability. Continued use of Pub-2010 general mortality table with slight rate adjustments as recommended in the most recent
experience study. Minor changes to form of payment assumptions for male and female retirees. Minor changes to assumptions made with
respect to missing participant data.

average 0.25% less than previous rates. Assumed rates of retirement were changed as recommended in the June 30, 2019 experience study.
The changes result in more unreduced (normal) retirements and slightly fewer Rule of 90 and early retirements. Assumed rates of termination
were changed as recommended in the June 30, 2019 experience study. The new rates are based on service and are generally lower than the
previous rates for years 2-5 and slightly higher thereafter. Assumed rates of disability were changed as recommended in the June 30, 2019
experience study. The change results in fewer predicted disability retirements for males and females. The base mortality table for healthy
annuitants and employees was changed from the RP-2014 table to the Pub-2010 General Mortality table, with adjustments. The base mortality
table for disabled annuitants was changed from the RP-2014 disabled annuitant mortality table to the PUB-2010 General/Teacher disabled
annuitant mortality table, with adjustments. The mortality improvement scale was changed from Scale MP-2018 to Scale MP-2019. The
assumed spouse age difference was changed from two years older for females to one year older. The assumed number of married male new
retirees electing the 100% Joint & Survivor option changed from 35% to 45%. The assumed number of married female new retirees electing the
100% Joint & Survivor option changed from 15% to 30%. The corresponding number of married new retirees electing the Life annuity option was
adjusted accordingly.

2017 - The Combined Service Annuity (CSA) loads were changed from 0.8 percent for active members and 60 percent for vested and non-vested
deferred members. The revised CSA loads are now 0.0 percent for active member liability, 15.0 percent for vested deferred member liability and
3.0 percent for non-vested deferred member liability. The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0 percent per year
for all years to 1.0 percent per year through 2044 and 2.5 percent per year thereafter.
2016 - The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0 percent per year through 2035 and 2.5 percent per year
thereafter to 1.0 percent per year for all future years. The assumed investment return was changed from 7.9 percent to 7.5 percent. The single
discount rate was changed from 7.9 percent to 7.5 percent. Other assumptions were changed pursuant to the experience study dated June 30,

Overlapping rates are those of local and county governments that apply to property owners within the City. Not all
overlapping rates apply to all City property owners (e.g. the rates for special districts apply only to the proportion of
the government's property owners whose property is located within the geographic boundaries of the special
district).

Sources : Market value data used to estimate applicable percentages provided by the Wright County
Auditor/Treasurer department. Debt outstanding data was provided from the same source.
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
businesses of the City. This process recognized that, when considering the government's ability to issue and repay long-term
debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not
imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and therefore responsible for repaying the debt, of each overlapping government.
* 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 taxable market value that is within the City's
boundaries and dividing it by the county's total taxable market value.

(2) All of the City's general obligation debt are paid from special assessments and not subject to the limit.
Note: Under state law, the City's outstanding general obligation debt should not exceed 3 percent of the market value of
taxable property. By law, the general obligation debt subject to the limitation may be offset by amounts set aside for the
extinguishment of those obligations.
