Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of New Hope
4401 Xylon Avenue North
New Hope, MN 55428 -4898
The comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) of the City of New Hope, Minnesota (the City), for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2010, is submitted herewith. As required by state law, this report is published annually, prior to
June 30, and submitted to the Office of the State Auditor. The form and contents of this report and the accompanying
financial statements and statistical tables are designed to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of financial statement
readers, and were prepared in conformance with standards set forth by:
1. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
2. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
3. The United States Office of Management and Budget
4. The State Auditor, State of Minnesota
5. The Government Finance Officers' Association (GFOA) of the United States and Canada
The financial data presented in this report was prepared by the City's finance department staff, with technical and
formatting assistance provided by the independent audit firm, Malloy, Montague, Karnowski, Radosevich & Co., PA
(MMKR). The responsibility for the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the
presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City. We believe the data as presented is accurate in all material
respects and is presented in a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial activity of the various funds, and that all
disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain the maximum understanding of the City's financial activity have
been included.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that management provide a narrative
introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of the Management's
Discussion and Analysis (MD &A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read
in conjunction with it. The City's MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.
PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
The City is a residential suburb of the City of Minneapolis with a population of 20,339. The City is 5.6 square miles in
area and is substantially developed with the exception of just under 12 acres of property which consists primarily of
residential zoned property. The City was incorporated in 1953 and enjoys a diverse commercial and residential tax
base.
The City operates under the „ Optional Plan B n government structure as defined in Minnesota Statutes. Optional Plan
B is known as the council- manager plan. Under this plan, as specified in the statutes, The City Council shall exercise
the legislative power of the City and determine all matters of policy. The city manager shall be the head of the
administrative branch of the city government and shall be responsible to the City Council for the proper administration
of all affairs relating to the City.” The City Council is composed of five members, including the mayor. The city
manager is appointed by the City Council.

The City's accounting system is organized and operated on a "fund basis." Each fund is a distinct self - balancing
accounting entity. The City's accounting records for governmental fund types are maintained on the modified accrual
basis and the accrual basis is utilized by proprietary and fiduciary funds, as defined in the notes to basic financial
statements.
The City maintains a system of internal control that provides a reasonable assurance of accounting data reliability,
and the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition. The concept of reasonable
assurance recognizes the cost of control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and the evaluation of
costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
Budgets are maintained for the General Fund and certain special revenue funds (as noted in the notes to basic
financial statements). The city manager is directed to submit an annual budget to the City Council. Upon adoption of
the annual budget resolution by the City Council, it becomes the formal budget for city operations. Any changes to the
original budget have to be authorized by City Council action, but must maintain a balanced budget by either
recognizing additional receipts, or utilizing fund balances.
Budget controls are maintained through a system of purchase orders and monthly financial statements which
compare actual performance with the budget.
The City has reviewed its reporting entity definition in light of GASB's pronouncements. The entities included in the
City's report are those for which the City has financial accountability.
Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the primary govemment's
operations and are included as part of the primary government. Accordingly, the Economic Development Authority
(EDA) is reported as special revenue fund of the primary government.
The City provides a full range of municipal services, including: police and fire protection, culture and recreation, public
improvements, street maintenance, sanitary and storm sewer collection, water distribution, planning, zoning and
building inspection services, and general administrative services.
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
The City is a nearly fully developed community with little vacant land available for development. The City has a good
mix of single /multi- family residential housing stock, parks and open space, and a strong commercial /industrial tax

Local commercial /industrial businesses are extremely important to the City. The City Council has undertaken
programs and initiatives to address both commercial and industrial properties. These programs focus on: 1) retaining
existing businesses, 21 assisting with expansions, 3) attracting new businesses to vacant available buildings, 4)
attracting new construction to a limited number of available vacant sites, and 5) improving communication with
businesses and responding more effectively to business concerns and inquiries. The City Council has continued the
Outstanding Business Award Program initiated in 2006, to recognize the City's businesses' contributions to the local
community.
In 2009, a monthly business forum was established to share information and improve communications between
businesses and the City and the forum continued through 2010. In 2010, $14,611,948 of reinvestment was approved
in the City in construction permits. The City will work to increase the momentum to continually expand the tax base
while continuing to provide the high level of services delivered to the residents, businesses, and property owners of
the City. The following is a brief summary of the major projects that contributed to the success of 2010.
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
The following planning and development activities occurred in 2010:
New Hope Transit Oriented Development Study (TOD) —
T he city has partnered with Hennepin County to conduct a major Transit Oriented Development Study in the City
Center (Winnetka and 42 Avenues North) area of the city. The goal is to create a framework for future
redevelopment in the City Center Area.
Commercial
Commercial redevelopment consisted of one large project and several smaller projects, initiated in 2010 with a total
construction value of approximately $5.0 million. Good Samaritan Society — Ambassador Health Care was the largest
individual project at $4.6 million.
Industrial
Several small industrial remodeling projects were completed or initiated in 2010 with a construction value of over $1.7
million. Paddock Laboratories, 3940 Quebec Avenue North - During 2010 Paddock undertook 22 smaller projects with
a value of $1,331,285 of interior remodeling to their facility,
Housing
The City's commitment to maintaining its housing stock is supported through a variety of cooperative projects and
programs. Approximately $2.17 million was reinvested in the City's housing stock in 2010 for private home additions
and/or remodeling projects.
1. Housing rehabilitation programs:
a. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Housing Rehabilitation Program - administered by
Hennepin County:
i. CDBG funded activity in 2010 continued the expenditure of previously allocated CDBG funds.
ii. The city reauthorized its scattered site housing program with an allocation of $99,000 in
CDBG funds.
b. Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC) in 2010 ($5,000).
c. Northwest Suburban Remodeling Fair - annual remodeling fair sponsored by the City and the cities of
Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Crystal, Maple Grove, Plymouth, and Robbinsdale.
-11-
2. Housing maintenance programs:
a. Code compliance inspections -258 inspections completed in 2010.
b. Rental housing program and inspections:
i. A rental registration permit program, which requires the registration and inspection of all
rental units in the City, was implemented in 2006 for single family and 2007 for multi - family
units.
ii. A total of 284 single family and two multi - family rental units were registered with the City.
iii. A total of 3,477 multi - family rental units were registered with the City.
c. Multifamily Property Manager's Association - quarterly meetings.
3. Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Act - annually renewed by the City.
PARKS AND RECREATION
The City provides the residents with a vast array of park amenities and recreation opportunities at an affordable cost.
The City's swimming pool continues to maintain strong attendance numbers, as well as providing a convenient
training facility for team swimming practices. The ice arena has year -round use of ice time for youth, adult
recreational, and league hockey. The facility also rents ice time to the Olympic Development Program, a local training
group.
PROPERTY TAX PROCESS AND COST CONTAINMENT
Preliminary tax levies have to be sent to the county auditor by September 15th. This levy can be lowered at a later
date, but cannot be increased. The county sends out notices to all property owners informing them of proposed
property taxes and the dates of public hearings by the various taxing districts. The final budget is adopted by the City
in December at a City Council meeting after the public hearing.
The City has established several cost saving programs over the years. The central garage rents out equipment to
departments as needed and, therefore, eliminates the duplication of ownership of equipment between departments.
The information technology fund accounts for government -wide computer applications, equipment maintenance and
replacement, and professional and technical support services to all city departments.
The City and the City of Crystal merged and consolidated their fire departments in 1998. The first full calendar year of
operations was completed in 1999. Known as the West Metro Fire - Rescue District, the fire department serves both
cities from three fire stations, providing cost effective and professional fire prevention and suppression services.
To maximize resources and reduce costs, the City participates in several additional agreements with other cities, the
local independent school district, and Hennepin County, sharing service delivery such as: police dispatching, animal
control, gymnasium facilities, and purchasing activities. The City participates with the cities of Brooklyn Center and
Crystal in a cooperative recycling program. During 1993, the City entered into a program with the City of Crystal in
which a season swimming pool ticket purchased at either city can be used at both pools. These are not joint ventures,
but contractual operations between other governmental units.
OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
Independent Audit - As required by state statute, city policy requires an annual audit of all city accounts to be made by
independent certified public accountants selected by the City Council. This requirement has been complied with and
the opinion of MMKR is included with this report.
Claims and Litigation - The City had the usual and customary types of miscellaneous claims pending at year -end,
mostly of a minor nature and entirely covered by insurance carried for that purpose.

AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting - The GFOA awarded a Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its CAFR for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2009. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, a
government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This
report must satisfy both accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and applicable legal
requirements. A Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting is valid for a period of one year only.
Preparation of this report could not have been accomplished without the professional, efficient, and dedicated
services of the entire staff of the Department of Finance, other city departments, and the staff of MMKR.
We wish to express our appreciation to all the contributors for their efforts to complete this report.
Respectfully submitted,
Kirk McDonald

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of New Hope,
Minnesota (the City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, which collectively comprise the
City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial
statements based on our audit
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing 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 over financial reporting. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of December 31, 2010, and the respective
changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable thereof, and the respective budgetary
comparisons for the General Fund and major special revenue funds for the year then ended, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated May 12, 2011 on
our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance
with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements, and other matters. The purpose
of that report is 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 internal control over
financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance
with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's
Discussion and Analysis and the Schedule of Funding Progress for the Post - Employment Benefit Plan, as
listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the
basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied
certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion
or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with
sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual fund
financial statements and schedules, supplementary information, and statistical section, as listed in the
table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are the
responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and
other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. 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 information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory section, supplementary
information, and statistical section have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

Summary Detail
Government -wide financial statements — The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a
broad overview of the City of New Hope's finances in a manner similar to a private- sector business.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of the City of New Hope's assets and liabilities, with the difference
between the two reported as net assets. Over time increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether
the financial position of the City of New Hope is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net assets changed during the most recent fiscal
year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the
timing of related cashflows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in the statement for some items that will only result in cash
flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of New Hope that are principally supported by
taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a
significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business -type activities). The governmental activities of the City
of New Hope include general government, public safety, public works, culture and recreation, economic development, and
interest on long -term debt. The business -type activities of the City of New Hope include water utility, sewer utility, golf course,
ice arena, storm water, and street lighting.
The government -wide financial statements start on page 35 of this report.
-24-
Fund financial statements — A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have
been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of New Hope, like other state and local governments, uses fund
accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance - related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of New
Hope 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 of the government's
near -term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and
governmental activities.
The City of New Hope maintains several individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental
fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General,
Economic Development Authority, Improvement Bond Redemption, HRA Construction, and Street Infrastructure funds, all of
which are considered to be major funds. Data from the remaining governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated
presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non -major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining
statements elsewhere in this report.
The City of New Hope adopts annual appropriated budgets for its General fund and several special revenue funds. A budgetary
comparison statement has been provided for these funds to demonstrate compliance with the adopted budgets.
The basic governmental fund financial statements start on page 40 of this report.
Proprietary funds — The City of New Hope maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report
the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial statements. The City of New Hope uses
enterprise funds to account for its water utility, sewer utility, golf course, ice arena, storm water, and street lighting 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 the water utility, sewer utility, golf course, ice arena, storm
water, and street lighting funds, all of which are considered to be major funds of the City of New Hope.
Internal service funds — These funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City of
New Hope's various functions. The City of New Hope uses internal service funds to account for distribution of vehicle and
equipment costs, government -wide costs of insurance coverage and employee leave, and information technology cost allocation.
Because all of these services predominately benefit governmental rather than business -type functions, they have been included
within governmental activities in the governmental -wide financial statements. All internal service funds are combined into a
single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is
provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements start on page 50 of this report
Fiduciary funds — These 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 start on page 60 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 61 of this
report.

Other information — The combining statements referred to earlier, in connection with nonmajor governmental funds and internal
service funds, are presented immediately following the required supplementary information. Combining and individual fund
statements and schedules start on page 95 of this report.
Other reports — Additional information related to the General fund start on page 120 of this report.
Government -wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case of the City
of New Hope, assets exceeded liabilities by $60,276,355 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
A portion of the City of New Hope's net assets (43.9 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings,
machinery, and equipment); less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City of New Hope uses
these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the
City of New Hope'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.
City of New Hope's Net Assets
The balance of unrestricted net assets ($29,219,174) may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and
creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report a positive balance in all three categories of net assets, as well as for
its separate governmental and business -type activities.

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
As noted earlier, the City of New Hope uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance- related legal
requirements.
Governmental funds - The focus of the City of New Hope'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 of New Hope's financing
requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for
spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year the City of New Hope's governmental funds had combined ending fund balances of
$26,535,931, an increase of $2,447,662 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 65.7 percent of this total amount,
$17,428,841, constitutes unreserved fund balance, which is available for spending at the City's discretion. The remainder of fund
balance is reserved to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed for other purposes.
General Fund the General fund is the chief operating fund of the City of New Hope. At the end of the current fiscal year,
unreserved fund balance of the General fund was $4,527,847, while total fund balance reached $4,591,600. As a measure of the
General fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance to total fund
expenditures. Unreserved fund balance represents 45.5 percent of total General fund expenditures and transfers out, while total
fund balance represents 46.1 percent of that same amount.
The City's General fund balance increased $237,249 during the current fiscal year. This increase is primarily due to transfers in
from other funds of $483,823. Expenditures were under budget by $201,435. Charges for services exceeded budget by $160,134,
while interest on investments, property taxes, and fines and forfeits fell short of budgeted expectations by $93,453, $62,750, and
$62,239 respectively.
Economic Development Authority — the increase of $7,956 in fund balance is due to revenues in excess of expenditures in the
amount of $63,083 and a transfer to other funds of $55,127.
Improvement Bond Redemption — the increase of $118,860 in fund balance is due to special assessment revenue and interest
income exceeding debt service expenditures.
HRA Construction —the increase of $1,760,415 is mainly due to tax increment revenue of $1,078,910 and transfers from other
funds of $856,153.
Street Infrastructure - The increase in fund balance of $917,307 is due to property tax and intergovernmental revenue exceeding
capital outlay.
Proprietary funds - The City of New Hope's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government
wide financial statements, but in more detail. At the end of the year, unrestricted net assets of the Water Utility, Sewer Utility,
Golf Course, Ice Arena, Storm Water, and Street Lighting funds amounted to $2,933,937. Total net assets increased by
$1,666,768.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Budget amendments were made during the year to reduce both the anticipated property tax revenue and current expenditures
across all functions as well as capital outlay. Both the original and final budgets called for no increase or decrease to fund
balance. Actual revenues were over budget by $36,563, and expenditures were under budget by $201,435.
• The largest positive revenue variances were charges for services and intergovernmental revenues which were over
budget by $160,134 and $99,718 respectively.
• The largest negative revenue variances were in interest income, property taxes, and fines and forfeits which were under
budget by $93,453, $62,750, and $62,239 respectively.
• The largest positive expenditure variances were current public safety and current culture and recreation expenditures
which were under budget by $148,737 and $69,526 respectively.
• The largest negative expenditure variance was current public works which was over budget by $84,768 but this was
offset by the Department of Agriculture's emerald ash borer grant.

Debt administration
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of New Hope had total bonded debt outstanding of $9,609,031. Of this amount
$1,296,006 will be paid from general property taxes and $4,605,000 from redevelopment district tax increments. Special
assessment bonds outstanding at year end totaled $775,000. The remaining $2,933,025 of outstanding bonds at year end were
revenue bonds, for which the City has pledged revenue streams from the water utility, sewer utility, and storm water utility for all
principal and interest payments due on these bonds.
The debt service funds have total fund balance of $4,288,603, all of which is reserved for the payment of debt service. The City
has intentionally shifted the philosophy for financing major street improvements away from debt financing to the pay -as- you -go
philosophy. The City established the Street and Park Infrastructure Capital Projects Funds in 2001 with dedicated portions of the
property tax levy, thereby eliminating this type of debt issuance.

GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
DECEMBER 31, 2010

Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial
resources and therefore are not reported as assets in governmental funds.

Internal service funds are used by management to charge certain costs to individual funds.
The assets and liabilities of the internal service funds are included in governmental
activities in the Statement of Net Assets

and therefore are deferred in the funds
Special assessments
Delinquent taxes

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, 2010
Total net change in fund balances $ 2,447,662
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement
of activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost
of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This
is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation in the current period.
Depreciation expense (861,051)
Capital outlays 1,501,714
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 assets. Also, governmental funds report
the effect of issuance costs, premiums, discounts and similar items when debt is first issued,
whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities.
Bonds issued
(1,245,000)
Less bond issuance costs
31,758
Add premium on bonds issued
(16,173)
Principal repayments on bonds
515,000
Amortization of deferred charges
(3,263)
Interest on long -term debt in the statement of activities differs from the amount reported in the
governmental funds 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_ (7,665)
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 3,029
Property taxes 36,734
Accounts (15,166)
The City's investment in a joint venture is not a financial resource and, therefore, is not
reported as an asset in the governmental funds, but is included in the Statement of Net Assets
Contributions to joint venture 613,144
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs for equipment,
information system, equipment replacement, employee benefits and major losses incurred
by individual funds
Internal service fund activity included in governmental activities (454,856)
Internal balances for internal service activity for business -type activities 181,865

A. Financial reporting entity
The City of New Hope (the City) operates under "Optional Plan B" as defined in Minnesota Statutes_ Optional Plan
B is known as the Council- Manager Plan_ Under this plan, as specified in the statutes, "The City Council shall
exercise the legislative power of the City and determine all matters of policy. The city manager shall be the head of
the administrative branch of the city government and shall be responsible to the City Council for proper
administration of all affairs relating to the City_" The City Council is composed of five members including the
mayor. The City Council appoints the city manager. 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
units are, in substance, part of the government's operations and so are reported as if they were part of the primary
government. The City has identified the following component units using the above criteria.
The New Hope Economic Development Authority (EDA) and Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) are
fiscally dependent upon the City, and were developed to control and operate the housing and redevelopment and tax
increment districts within the City. Since the City Council makes up the New Hope EDA and HRA boards, and
funding for New Hope EDA and HRA activities are provided by the City, both entities are considered to be blended
component units of the City, and are reported as special revenue funds.
The City participates in various joint ventures and jointly controlled organizations which are described later in these
notes.
B. Government -wide and fund financial statements
The government -wide financial statements (i.e_, the statement of net assets and the statement of activities) report
information on all of the non - fiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most
part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which
normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type
activities, which rely to a significant extent on 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. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit
from goods, service, 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 programs revenue are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate fund financial statements are provided for governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds. Major individual
governmental and enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. Aggregated
information for the remaining nonmajor funds are reported in single columns in the respective fund financial
statements.

Aggregated information for the internal service funds is presented in a single column in the proprietary fund
financial statements. Because the principal users of the internal services are the City's governmental activities, the
financial statements of the internal service funds are consolidated into the governmental activities column when
presented in the government -wide financial statements. The cost of these services is reported in the appropriate
functional activity.
C. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation
The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned
and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes
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.
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 government considers revenue to be
available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are
recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as
expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, tax increments, 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 government.
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.
Deferred 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 deferred revenue. On the
modified accrual basis, receivables that will not be collected within the available period have also been reported as
deferred revenue in the fund financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General fund - The government's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Economic Development Authority Special Revenue fund — The Economic Development Authority Special
Revenue Fund accounts for the activities of the authority which controls and operates the housing and
redevelopment projects and tax increment districts in the City.
Improvement Bond Redemption Debt Service fund — The Improvement Bond Redemption Debt Service Fund is
used to account for the payment of principal and interest on special assessment bonds issued to finance
improvement projects.
HRA Construction Capital Projects fund — The HRA Construction Capital Projects Fund is used to account for
redevelopment costs for tax increment districts, which are primarily funded by tax increment bonds and tax
increments.
Street Infrastructure Capital Projects fund — The Street Infrastructure Capital Projects Fund is used to account
for street improvement projects.
The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
Water Utility fund - The Water Utility fund is used to account for the provisions of water services to residents of
the City. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund, including
administration, operations, maintenance, billing and collection.
Sewer Utility fund — The Sewer Utility fund is used to account for the provisions of sewer services to residents

administration, operations, maintenance, billing and collection.

Additionally, the government reports the following fund types:
Internal Service funds — These funds are used to account for the City's vehicle and equipment rental operation,
employee leave benefits, insurance, and information technology operations. Internal service funds operate in a
manner similar to enterprise funds; however, they provide services primarily to other departments within the City.
Agency fund — An agency fund was established to account for pass- through grant funds held by the City as the agent
for others-
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are
followed in both the government -wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that those standards do
not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have
the option of following subsequent private- sector guidance for their business -type activities and enterprise funds,
subject to this same limitation. The government has elected not to follow subsequent private- sector guidance.
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 government's enterprise fund functions and various other
functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues
reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or
privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contribution, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special
assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues.
Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non - operating items. Operating revenues and
expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a
proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the enterprise funds and of the
government's internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for
enterprise funds and internal service 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 non - operating
revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government's policy to use restricted
resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

Receivables and payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the
fiscal year are referred to as either "due to /from other funds" (i.e_, the current portion of interfund loans) or
"advances to /from other funds" (i_e_, the non - current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances
between funds are reported as "due to /from other funds." Any residual balances outstanding between the
governmental activities and business -type activities are reported in the government -wide financial statements as
"internal balances."
Property taxes
The 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 Treasurer and tax settlements are made to the City during January, July, and
December each year.
Taxes payable on homestead property, as defined by Minnesota statutes, were reduced by a market value credit aid
The credit is paid to the City by the State of Minnesota (the State) in lieu of taxes levied against the homestead
property. The State remits this credit in two equal installments in October and December each year.
Delinquent taxes receivable included the past six years' uncollected taxes. Delinquent taxes have been offset by a
deferred revenue liability for taxes not received within 60 days after year end in the fund financial statements.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable include amounts billed for services provided before year end. Unbilled utility enterprise fund
receivables are also included for services provided in. The City annually certifies delinquent water, sewer, storm
water, and street lighting accounts to the County for collection in the following year.
Special assessments
Special assessments are levied against benefited properties for the cost or a portion of the cost of special assessment
improvement projects in accordance with Minnesota Statutes. These assessments are collectible by the City over a
term of years usually consistent with the term of the related bond issue. Collection of annual installments (including
interest) is handled by the County Auditor in the same manner as property taxes. Property owners are allowed to
(and often do) prepay future installments without interest or prepayment penalties.
In governmental fund financial statements, revenue from special assessments is recognized by the City when it
becomes measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current fiscal period. In practice, current and
delinquent special assessments received by the City are recognized as revenue for the current year. Special
assessments are collected by the County and remitted by December 31 (remitted to the City the following January)
and are also recognized as revenue for the current year. All remaining delinquent, deferred and special deferred
assessments receivable in governmental funds are completely offset by deferred revenues. In government -wide
financial statements, special assessments are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied.

Once a special assessment roll is adopted, the amount attributed to each parcel is a lien upon that property until full
payment is made or the amount is determined to be excessive by the City Council or court action. If special
assessments are allowed to go delinquent, the property is subject to tax forfeit sale and the first proceeds of that sale
(after costs, penalties and expenses of sale) are remitted to the City in payment of delinquent special assessments.
Generally, the City will collect the full amount of its special assessments not adjusted by City Council or court
action. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, a property shall be subject to a tax forfeit sale after three years unless it is
homesteaded, agricultural or seasonal recreational land in which event the property is subject to such sale after five
years.
Inventories and prepaid items
Inventory is valued at cost using the first - in/first -out (FIFO) method. Inventory consists mainly of expendable
supplies held for consumption. Inventories of the governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed
rather than when purchased.
Certain cash payment to vendors reflects costs applicable to future accounting periods are recorded as prepaid items
in both government -wide and fund financial statements.
Investment in joint ventures
Included in the assets of the government -wide statements and proprietary funds are amounts representing the City's
investment in two joint ventures described later in these notes.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires management to make estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
Capital assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, an
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 initial, individual cost of more than
$5,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life of two years or more. Such assets are recorded at historical
cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets would be recorded at estimated
fair market value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets
lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred
during the construction phase of capital assets of business -type activities is included as part of the capitalized value
of the assets constructed.

Compensated absences
A liability is recognized for unpaid vacation, sick leave, wellness days, and personal leave earned by employees at
the balance sheet date if it is probable the benefit will be paid as time off or at separation of service. The City
implemented a personal leave plan in 1994 in which all new employees, other than police officers, participate.
Employees who have had five or more years of service at the time of implementation were allowed to choose
between the personal leave plan or the vacation/sick leave plan. Under the vacation /sick leave plan, employees are
entitled to compensation for unpaid vacation time up to 160 hours and one -third of their accumulated sick leave to a
maximum of 320 hours_ Under personal leave, employees are entitled to 200 hours of accumulated leave time.
Other postemployment benefits
Under Minnesota statute 471.6 1, subdivision 2b., public employers must allow retirees and their dependents to
continue coverage indefinitely in an employer- sponsored health care plan, under the following conditions: 1)
Retirees must be receiving (or eligible to receive) an annuity from a Minnesota public pension plan, 2) Coverage
must continue in group plan until age 65, and retirees must pay no more than the group premium, and 3) Retirees
may obtain dependent coverage immediately before retirement. All premiums are funded on a pay -as- you -go basis.
The liability was actuarially determined, in accordance with GASB Statement 45, at December 31, 2008.
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 assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance
costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bond issuance costs
are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight line method.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognized bond premium 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.

constitute reimbursements to a fund are accounted for as expenditures /expenses in the fund that is reimbursed.
Fund equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for amounts that are not
available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use of a specific purpose. Designations of
fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change.
Comparative data reclassifications
Comparative total data for the prior year have been presented only for individual enterprise funds in the fund
financial statements in order to provide an understanding of the changes in the financial position and operations of
these funds. Also, certain amounts presented in the prior year data have been reclassified in order to be consistent
with the current year's presentation.
In the current year the operations of the Water and Sewer Utility funds were separated and reported in separate
Water and Sewer Utility funds. In previous years the City reported water and sewer operations in the same fund.
Net assets
Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets are displayed in three components

an outside party. In accordance with Minnesota statutes and as authorized by the 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 market
value of collateral pledged must equal 110 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

QGi1'1 IN 11 1Y V. 1 11 11 111011110 SM111= a a 11"Oki Mwcllev 6 IOU" 1111
The investments of the City are subject to the following risks:
• 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 limit the City's investments to the list on page 65 of the notes.
The City's investment policy does not address this risk any further.
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 investment policy does not
address custodial credit risk but the City typically limits its exposure by purchasing insured or registered
investments_
• 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_ The City's investment policy does not limit the concentration
of investments. As of December 31, 2010, the City had invested 5 percent or more of its total investment
portfolio in securities issued by the following federal agencies: Federal Home Loan Bank — 15.7 percent,
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation — 13.9 percent, and Federal National Mortgage Association —
17.2 percent, Illinois State Tax Bond — 6.2 percent.
• Interest rate risk. This is the risk of potential variability in the fair value of fixed rate investments resulting
from changes in interest rates (the longer period for which an interest rate is fixed, the greater the risk). The
City's investment policy does not limit the duration of investments_
B. Deferred revenue
Governmental funds report deferred revenue in connection with receivables for revenues that are not considered to
be available to liquidate liabilities of the current period. Governmental funds also defer revenue recognition in
connection with resources that have been received, but not yet earned. At the end of the current fiscal year, the
various components of deferred revenue and unearned revenue reported in the governmental funds were as follows:

Note 4: OTHER INFORMATION
A. Defined benefit pension plan - public employees retirement association (PERA) - statewide
1. Plan description
All full -time and certain part -time employees of the City are covered by defined benefit plans administered by
the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). PERA administers the General Employees
Retirement Fund (GERF) and the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF), which are cost sharing,
multiple- employer retirement plans. These plans are established and administered in accordance with Minnesota
statutes, chapters 353 and 356.
GERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated Plan members are
covered by Social Security and Basic Plan members are not. All new members must participate in the
Coordinated Plan. All police officers, fire- fighters and peace officers who qualify for membership by statute are
covered by the PEPFF.
PERA provides retirement benefits as well as disability benefits to members, and benefits to survivors upon
death of eligible members. Benefits are established by state statute, and vest after three years of credited service.
The defined retirement benefits are based on a member's highest average salary for any five successive years of
allowable service, age, and years of credit at termination of service.
Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERA's Coordinated and Basic Plan members. The retiring
member receives the higher of the step -rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1) or a level accrual formula
(Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate for a Basic Plan member is 2.2 percent of average salary
for each of the first 10 years of service and 2.7 percent for each remaining year. The annuity accrual rate for a
Coordinated Plan member is 1.2 percent of average salary for each of the first 10 years and 1.7 percent for each
remaining year. Under Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.7 percent of average salary for Basic Plan
members and 1.7 percent for Coordinated Plan members for each year of service. For PEPFF members, the
annuity accrual rate is 3.0 for each year of service. For all PEPFF members, and for GERF members hired prior
to July 1, 1989 whose annuity is calculated using Method 1, a full annuity is available when age plus years of
service equal 90. Normal retirement age is 55 for PEPFF members and 65 for Basic and Coordinated members
hired prior to July 1, 1989. Normal retirement age is the age for unreduced Social Security benefits capped at 66
for Coordinated members hired on or after July 1, 1989. A reduced retirement annuity is also available to
eligible members seeking early retirement.
There are different types of annuities available to members upon retirement. A single -life annuity is a lifetime
annuity that ceases upon the death of the retiree — no survivor annuity is payable. There are also various types of
joint and survivor annuity options available which will be payable over joint lives_ Members may also leave
their contributions in the fund upon termination of public service in order to qualify for a deferred annuity at
retirement age. Refunds of contributions are available at any time to members who leave public service, but
before retirement benefits begin.
The benefit provisions stated in the previous paragraphs of this section are current provisions and apply to
active plan participants_ Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but are not receiving them
yet are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their public service.
PERA issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary
information for GERF and PEPFF. That report may be obtained on the Internet at www.mnpera.org, by writing
to PERA, 60 Empire Street, Suite #200, St. Paul, Minnesota 55103 -1855 or by calling (651) 296 -7460 or 1 -800-

2. Funding policy
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. These statutes are
established and amended by the state legislature_ The City makes annual contributions to the pension plans
equal to the amount required by state statutes_ GERF Basic Plan members and Coordinated Plan members were
required to contribute 9.10 percent and 6.0 percent, respectively, of their annual covered salary in 2010. PEPFF
members were required to contribute 9.4 percent of their annual covered salary in 2010. PECF members are
required to contribute 5.83 percent of their annual covered salary_ The City is required to contribute the
following percentages of annual covered payroll: 11.78 percent for Basic Plan GERF members, 7.0 percent for
Coordinated Plan GERF members, and 14.1 percent for PEPFF members. Employer contribution rates for the
Coordinated plan will increase to 7.25 percent, effective January 1, 2011. The City's contributions to the
General Employees Retirement Fund for the years ending December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $217,644,
$231,739, and $236,699, respectively. The City's contributions to the Public Employees Police & Fire Fund for
the years ending December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $344,624, $307,857, and $277,898, respectively. The
City's contributions were equal to the contractually required contributions for each year as set by Minnesota
statute_
B. Postemployment benefits other than pensions
1. Plan description
The City of New Hope administers a single - employer defined benefit healthcare plan ( "the Retiree Health
Plan "). The plan provides healthcare insurance for eligible retirees and their eligible dependents through the
City's group health insurance plan, which covers both active and retired members. The benefit levels, employee
contributions, and employer contributions are governed by the City and can be amended by the City through the
City's collective bargaining agreements with employee groups. The Retiree Health Plan does not issue a
publicly available financial report.
Post - employment insurance benefits — All retirees of the City have the option under state law to continue their
medical insurance coverage through the City from the time of retirement until the employee reaches the age of
eligibility for Medicare. For members of all employee groups, the retiree must pay the full premium to continue
coverage for medical insurance.
The City is legally required to include any retirees for whom it provides health insurance coverage in the same
insurance as its active employees, whether the premiums are paid by the City or the retiree. Consequently,
participating retirees are considered to receive a secondary benefit know as an "implicit rate subsidy." This
benefit relates to the assumption that the retiree is receiving a more favorable premium rate than they would
otherwise be able to obtain if purchasing insurance on their own, due to being included in the same pool with
the City's younger and statistically healthier active employees.
2. Funding policy
Contribution requirements are set by the City Council annually on a pay -as- you -go basis. The City contributes
none of the cost of current year premiums for eligible retired plan members and their spouses except for the
implicit rate subsidy described above. For fiscal year 2010, the City contributed $7,194 to the plan. Plan
members receiving benefits contribute 100 percent of their premium costs-

3. Annual other postemployment benefit cost and net other postemployment benefit obligation
The City's annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual
required contribution of the employer (ARC). The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing
basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and to amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding
excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. The following table shows the components of the City's annual
OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the City's net OPEB
obligation to the retiree health plan_

4. Funded status and funding progress
As of December 31, 2008, the actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $187,037, all of which was unfunded_
The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $6,256,409 and the ratio of
the unfunded actuarial accrued liability to the covered payroll was 3.0 percent_
The projection of future benefit payments for an ongoing plan involves estimates of the value of reported
amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future_ Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding
the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual
revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The
Schedule of Funding Progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the
financial statements, presents multi -year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is
increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
5. Methods and assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood
by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and
the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The
methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short -term volatility
in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long -term perspective of the
calculations.
The following simplifying assumptions were made:
Retirement age for active employees — Based on the historical average retirement age for the covered group,
active plan members were assumed to retire at age 60, or at the first subsequent year in which the member
would qualify for benefits.
Marital status — Marital status of members at the calculation date was assumed to continue throughout
retirement.
Mortality — Life expectancies were based on mortality tables from the National Center for Health Statistics. The
2004 United States Life Tables for Males and Females were used.
Turnover — Non - group - specific age -based turnover date from GASB Statement No_ 45 was used as the basis for
assigning active members a probability of remaining employed until the assumed retirement age and for
developing an expected future working lifetime assumption for purposes of allocating to periods the present
value of total benefits to be paid_
Healthcare cost trend rate — The expected rate of increase in healthcare insurance premiums was based on
projections of the Office of the Actuary at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. A rate of 6.8 percent
initially, reduced to an ultimate rate of 6.0 percent after six years, was used.
Health insurance premiums — 2007 health insurance premiums for retirees were used as the basis for
calculation for the present value of total benefits to be paid.
Inflation rate — The expected long -term inflation assumption of 3.3 percent was based on projected changes in
the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI -W) in the 2006 Annual Report
of the Board of Trustees of the Federal Old -Age and Survivor Insurance and Disability Insurance Trust Funds
for an intermediate growth scenario.

Payroll growth rate – The expected long -term payroll growth rate was assumed to equal the rate of inflation
Based on the historical and expected returns of the City's short -term investment portfolio, a discount rate of 3.5
percent was used. In addition, a simplified version of the entry age actuarial cost method was used. The
unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on an open
basis. The remaining amortization period at December 31, 2010 was 30 years.

disbursement of funds received under these programs generally requires compliance with the terms and conditions
specified in the grant agreements and are subject to audit by the grantor agencies. Any disallowed claims resulting
from such audits could become a liability of the applicable fund. However, in the opinion of management, any such
disallowed claims will not have a material effect on any of the financial statements of the individual fund types
included herein or on the overall financial position of the City at December 31, 2010.
Tax increment districts
The City's tax increment districts are subject to review by the State of Minnesota Office of the State Auditor (OSA).
Any disallowed claims or misuse of tax increment could become a liability of an applicable fund. Management has
indicated that they are not aware of any instances of noncompliance which would have a material effect on the
financial statements.

D. 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 probably that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably
estimated. Liabilities, if any, include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNRs). The
City's management is not aware of any incurred but not reported claims.
E. Conduit debt obligations
At times, the City has issued industrial revenue bonds to provide financial assistance to private sector entities for the
acquisition and construction of industrial and commercial facilities deemed to be in the public interest. The bonds
are secured by the property financed and are payable solely from payments received on the underlying mortgage
loans. Upon repayment of the bonds, ownership of the acquired facilities transfers to the private sector entity served
by the bond issuance. The City is not obligated in any manner for repayment of the bonds. Accordingly, the bonds
are not reported as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. As of December 31, 2010, there were five
series of industrial revenue bonds outstanding. The original issue amounts totaled $12,910,000 and have been
reduced through annual payments and partial call prepayments. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2010 is
undetermined.
F. Joint ventures and governed organizations
Joint ventures
Joint Water Commission
The City is a party to a joint powers agreement through which the Golden Valley, Crystal, and New Hope Joint
Water Commission (JWC) is formed. The agreement provides for the operation and ownership of a water supply,
distribution, and support system in and for the cities of Golden Valley, Crystal, and New Hope. The City purchases
water used by its residents from the JWC and shares in the JWC's operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement
costs based on its water usage.
As provided for in the joint powers agreement, in the event of termination, all real and personal property and cash
held by the JWC would be divided among the members by unanimous consent_ Such division would be based on
refunded monetary contributions made to the JWC by the member cities_
Over the years, the costs of construction have been allocated among the member cities, generally on the basis of
water purchased_ These costs were expensed as incurred by the City in the cost of water purchased. The City has no
information on the total construction costs it has paid.
Based on the above, the City has not recorded an interest in the JWC up to the present time_ The asset recorded in
the Water fund as an investment in the JWC represents the accumulated contributions for working capital_ This
amount approximates the City's share in the JWC fund balance at December 31, 2010.

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).

COMPUTATION OF DIRECT AND OVERLAPPING DEBT
DECEMBER 31, 2010
Total Overlapping Debt
Total Direct and Overlapping Debt
$ 1,169,085,000 3.86 % $ 45,128,078
$ 1,175,745,000 4.40 % $ 51,788,078
* 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.
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.
Source : Assessed value data used to estimate applicable percentages and outstanding debt data for overlapping entities was
provided by Hennepin County.

* 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.
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.
Source : Assessed value data used to estimate applicable percentages and outstanding debt data for overlapping entities was
provided by Hennepin County.
