Popular Annual Financial Report
To The Community
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017
Dear Apple Valley Resident, We
are pleased to present the City of
Apple Valley’s Popular Annual
Financial Report (PAFR). This
report provides a summary of the
City’s financial information in a
simplified, easy to read format.
We trust this report gives you a
better understanding on city
government and our financial
condition.
Information in this report comes
from Apple Valley’s 2017
Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report (CAFR). The CAFR was
prepared in conformity with
Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP), was audited by
MMKR and received an
unmodified opinion, which is the
best audit opinion possible.
In order for Apple Valley to
manage the community finances
smoothly, it divides various
activities into several different
funds. Governmental funds
account for tax-supported
activities and include:
General Fund activities
that provide for basic
operations of the City, i.e.
administration, building
maintenance, police & fire,
street & park maintenance,
recreation activity,
community development and
planning.
Special Revenue Funds
account for activities
restricted to specific
purposes like the City’s
Economic Development
Authority.
Debt Service Funds track
revenues and expenses
related to repayment of long
-term debt.
Capital Projects Funds
collect revenue from special
assessments, state and
county aids and allots them
toward construction or major
capital expenses.
Proprietary Funds account
for activities that operate as
a public enterprise which are
paid for by user fees, i.e.
water, sanitary sewer, storm
sewer, liquor stores, and
Valleywood Golf Course.
Internal Service Funds
account for the acquisition,
operation, and maintenance
of governmental facilities
and services, which are
entirely or predominately
self-supported by user
charges to the governmental
funds.
If you would like a copy of the
CAFR, visit the City’s website at
CityofAppleValley.org or contact
the Finance Department at:

Dividing Up Your Property Tax Dollar Your tax dollar is divided up
into several governmental
entities. Apple Valley collects
35 cents of every tax dollar
for City services. The
remaining portions are
divided among Dakota
County, the school district,
and other agencies. These
tax rates are based on a
residential home valued at
$224,100.

How Tax Dollars Buy City Services
Residents receive a variety of City services for an
affordable price. The cost of City services in 2017
for the owner of a single-family home in Apple
Valley with an assessor’s market value of $224,100
was $80.40 per month. The tax cost per month of
$80.40 is the amount left requiring tax support
after allocatfng grants, program fees, lodging taxes
and other non-property tax revenue to the
appropriate services.
Quarterly Cost of Utilities
Based on an average usage of 21,000 gallons of water
and 15,000 gallons of sewer per quarter, the cost of
utflitfes for a home in Apple Valley was $131.56 in
2017. Apple Valley bills on a quarterly basis. Services
include water, sewer, storm water, and street lightfng.
Police $24.09 Parks $12.84 Public Works $9.44
Street
Reconstruction $9.36
Fire $5.96 General Gov. $12.92
Debt Service $4.22 Insurance $1.57
TOTAL
$80.40
Below is a 2017 comparison of monthly city property taxes paid on a median valued home with twelve similar sized com-
munitfes in the metro area. Using the median home value in each community, we compared the property tax cost per
month for each city.

within this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the
City has established internal controls designed to protect the City’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and
to provide sufficient information for the preparation of these financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because the cost of internal
controls should not outweigh the benefits, the City’s internal controls have been designed to provide
reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements will be free from material
misstatements. As management, we assert that to the best of our knowledge and belief this CAFR is
complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City’s financial statements have been audited by Malloy, Montague, Karnowski, Radosevich & Co.,
P.A., Certified Public Accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable
assurance that the financial statements of the City for the year ended December 31, 2017, are free of
material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates used by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
Based upon the audit, the independent auditor concluded that there was a reasonable basis for rendering
an unmodified opinion that the City’s financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2017, are
fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The independent auditor’s report is presented in the financial section of this report.
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 st atements. The City’s
MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.

The City was incorporated as a village on January 1, 1969, and incorporated as a city on January 1, 1974.
The City is a suburban community located 17 miles south of downtown Minneapolis within Dakota
County, and has a convenient location with a comprehensive system of highways – Interstate 35E serves
the northwest boundary of the City, while State Highway 77 runs north and south through the City. The
City is served by a Bus Rapid Transit service that connects to the light rail system serving Minneapolis
and St. Paul. The City is seven miles from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport within the

community with a current population of 52,361.
-v-
The City operates as a Statutory Plan A City, the Mayor-Council form, under Minnesota law. The
governing body, consisting of the Mayor and four council members, is elected at large and on a
nonpartisan basis. Terms of office are four years, with elections held in each even-numbered year; not
more than three council members’ terms expire in any one year. The City Council is responsible for,
among other things, passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing members to various advisory
committees and commissions, and hiring the City Administrator and other city employees. The City
Administrator is responsible for carrying out the policies, ordinances, and directions of the City Council
and for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City.
The City provides its residents and businesses with a full range of municipal services consisting of public
safety (police, fire, building inspections), public works, parks and recreation, and general government
administration. The City also operates a number of enterprise activities including: water and sanitary
sewer, Valleywood Golf Course, three off-sale liquor stores, storm water, street lights, sports arenas, and
a cemetery. Sanitary sewage treatment and disposal is operated on a regional basis by the Metropolitan
Council Environmental Services. Refuse collection and disposal are handled on a private basis through
contractual arrangements by city residents with private haulers. Further information regarding city
services can be obtained from the City’s website at www.ci.apple-valley.mn.us.
The Apple Valley Economic Development Authority (EDA) is a separate legal entity organized pursuant
to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 469, and is included as a blended component unit. The EDA is considered
a component unit because the governing body is comprised of City Council members and two other

burden with the City.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. The budgetary
process is outlined in the notes to basic financial statements. The City applies budgetary controls to
ensure compliance with legal provisions of the laws of Minnesota. Budgets are adopted on a basis
consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Annual budgets
are adopted for the General Fund in addition to certain special revenue and capital projects funds. Bud get
to actual comparisons are presented for each governmental fund for which an annual budget has been
adopted.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The City is committed to maintaining a strong financial condition, while continuing to provide public
services to its residents and businesses. The City’s financial position, as reflected in the financial
statements presented in the reports, is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the broader
perspective of the specific environment within which the City operates.
Local Economy
The economic conditions have improved for the City, its residents, and its businesses. The City’s
unemployment rate as of December 2017, for example, is 2.5 percent, compared to the State of
Minnesota’s rate of 3.4 percent and the national unemployment rate of 3.9 percent.

The City is the home to Uponor and Wings Financial Federal Credit Union. Other major employers in the
area include Independent School District (ISD) No. 196, Target, Wal-Mart, Minnesota Zoo, Augustana

Market Value Growth
The City consistently adds new tax base each
year. In 2017, a total of $81 million of market
value was added to the City’s tax base, which
current data indicates is continuing. Total
market value increased to $4.7 billion for 2017,
resulting from improved market conditions.
Conditions continue to improve for the future
with preliminary County Assessor data for
payable 2019 showing a 10.5 percent increase
to a total city-wide taxable market value of
$5.6 billion, of which $96 million and
$136 million results from new construction for
payable 2018 and 2019, respectively.
-vii-
Major Initiatives
In 2017, investment continued in the City as new businesses opened and new developments were
approved. What follows is a sample of some of the development projects that were reviewed, approved,
began construction, or were completed in 2017, as well as some of the long-range planning and economic
development initiatives that will help maintain the City’s high quality of life.
Residential Development
Over the past 10 years, single-family
construction has averaged 80 units per year, and
2017 saw 167 single-family units constructed,
valued at over $41 million. Recent multi-family
construction shows strong activity for 2017 with
580 apartment units permitted. The Presbyterian
Homes Orchard Path senior cooperative
building was completed in 2017 adding
195 units. Construction continues in 2018 on
the Valley Bluffs senior apartment complex
totaling 163 units. Additional apartment
construction continues with the second phase of
the Remington Cove 95-unit apartment
complex, along with an additional 134 units in
the second phase of the Parkside Village.
While the construction of new single-family
homes has increased for 2017, the valuation
added by remodeling and renovations is being
maintained at a high level, valued at over
$16.7 million. This reflects homeowners’
continued interest in investing in their
properties.
Commercial Development
Commercial and industrial development
continued to improve in 2017 with total
improvement values, including commercial
alterations, totaling $59 million in 2017.
Included in these improvements was $35 million
of alterations throughout Independent School
District No. 196.
New commercial construction projects included
the 10,200 square foot Cobblestone Lake
Medical Center and the 5,500 square foot
Giselles Corner retail building at 147th and
Cedar Avenue.
-viii-
Upcoming Initiatives include:
Mixed-Use Business Campus:
In 2018, approximately 350 acres of mixed business campus will begin to be master planned with some
mixed uses proposed to begin development in the area currently being actively mined for aggregate.
Significant public infrastructure improvements including roads, trails, ponding, and park improvements,
will be part of the plan and coincide with private development.
Menard’s Hanson Development Site:
The 50-acre site known as Menard’s/Hanson will have proposed mixed business land uses (retail, office,
industrial) considered.
Water Meter Replacement Program:
The City has engaged a consulting group to develop a water meter replacement program plan. Many
water meters in the City have been in service for more than 25 years. The accuracy of water meters tends
to diminish as they get older. The City’s Capital Improvement Program includes a two (2) year schedule
for completing the water meter replacement project and will be funded within the Water Utility Fund.
Infrastructure Improvements
The City is committed to maintaining its significant investment in the community’s infrastructure with the
implementation of an aggressive street maintenance program in 2012. In 2017, over $5 million was
invested to maintain the infrastructure and included the following significant projects:
• Reconstruction of streets in the Palomino 3rd and 4th subdivisions.
• Extension of Embry Path to connect with CR 42.
• Additional resurfacing of streets throughout the community.
Long-Term Financial Planning
In developing the annual budget, the City follows five core fiscal principles. These include:
• Focus on the provision of basic city services and fund their provision at adequate levels.
• Estimate anticipated revenues at realistic levels.
• Retain adequate reserves to protect against fiscal uncertainty.
• Anticipate continued community growth and program capital improvements to serve our growing
community.
• Demonstrate strong stewardship of existing infrastructure and plan for its repair/replacement in a
proactive manner.
Each year the City adopts a five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP is a five-year plan
that identifies the City’s infrastructure, development objectives , and the allocation of resources for these
projects. This CIP provides policy makers and the community with a strategic approach to
implementation and administration of improvement projects. The 2018–2022 CIP identifies $135 million
of capital projects along with the associated funding. The five-year CIP also includes five-year revenue
and expenditure projections for the majority of funds identified in the document.
One of the larger improvements included in the 2018–2022 CIP includes the continued street and utility
reconstruction and reconditioning program which totals $62 million over the next five years.
Relevant Financial Policies
The City utilizes various financial and budget policies to guide the City Council and staff when making
financial decisions. These include adoption of a balanced budget, minimizing the reliance on state
revenues which have proven to be unpredictable, setting of 50 percent of subsequent year’s budgeted
expenditures minimum fund balance level to provide for cash flow purposes, and adoption of a five-year
capital improvement plan to provide for capital asset acquisition and replacement.
-ix-
Cash temporarily idle during the year was invested in U.S. government agency obligations, municipal
securities, certificates of deposit, and money market instruments. The City’s investment policy calls for
the investment of public funds in a manner that will provide the highest investment return with minimum
risk while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City. For investments held at December 31, 2017,
the effective duration of the investment portfolio was two years. The City’s average return on investments
in 2017 was 1.01 percent.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded the City
a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Apple Valley for its
CAFR for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. This is the sixth year that the City achieved this
prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an
easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy
both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current CAFR
continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and we are submitting it to the
GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The preparation of this report could not occur without the efficient and dedicated service of the entire
finance department staff throughout the reporting year. We would like to express our appreciation to all
members of the department who assisted and contributed to the preparation of this report. We would like
to thank the City Council for its commitment in planning and implementing the financial operations of the
City in a fiscally prudent and progressive manner.
Respectfully Submitted,
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY, MINNESOTA

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the City Council and Management
City of Apple Valley, Minnesota
REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Apple Valley,
Minnesota (the City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the
table of contents.
MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit . We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts a nd disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error .
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City’s preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion o n the effectiveness of the City’s
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.

OPINIONS
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to on the previous page 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, 2017, and the
respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, and the budgetary
comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
OTHER MATTERS
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis and the required supplementary information (RSI), as listed in the table of
contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part
of the basic financial statements, is required by the 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 RSI in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the
information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements,
and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us
with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, supplementary information, and
statistical section, as listed in the table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and
are not required parts of the basic financial statements.
The supplementary information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements.
Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to
the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America . In our opinion, the supplementary
information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on them.
(continued)

compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements, and other matters.
The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness
of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance . That report is an integral part of
an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal
control over financial reporting and compliance.

CITY OF APPLE VALLEY
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Year Ended December 31, 2017
-4-
As management of the City of Apple Valley, Minnesota (the City), we have provided readers of the City’s
financial statements with this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in
conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, located earlier
in this report.
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 by $249,719,273 (net position). Of
this amount, $39,682,988 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the City’s ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors; $15,543,033 is restricted for specific purposes (restricted net
position); and $194,493,252 represents the net investment in capital assets. The City’s total net
position increased by $4,391,062 during the year ended December 31, 2017, excluding the prior
period adjustment reported in the current year as discussed below.
• The City recorded a prior period adjustment in the current year related to the City’s inventory of
capitalized assets and the related useful lives. This change reduced beginning net position in the
government-wide financial statements by $25,853,175.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $50,825,446, a decrease of $12,536,778. Restricted fund balances
decreased from $27,079,147 to $13,431,367, a decrease of $13,647,780, which is the result of a
decrease in the G.O. Refunding Bonds of 2013 Fund and G.O. Park Bonds of 2015 Fund, due to
payments on refunded bonds in the current year.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the General Fund was
$16,351,616, or 49.3 percent, of total General Fund expenditures based on 2018 budgeted
expenditure levels, including transfers.
• The City’s long-term liabilities decreased by $33,833,415, or 41.5 percent, during the current
fiscal year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in net pension liability of
$16,336,775, as a result of the change in actuarial assumptions in the computation of the City’s
obligation under Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68. The
remainder of the decrease is due to payments on refunded debt and payments on the City’s
outstanding debt obligations per the agreed upon schedules. Please see further details of
long-term debt in Note 5 of the notes to basic financial statements.
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 include three components: 1) government -wide financial
statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to basic financial statements. This report also
contains other supplementary information in addition to 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.
-5-
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets, liabilities, and deferred
inflows/outflows 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).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally
supported by property taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from o ther
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, and parks and recreation. The business-type activities of the City include
municipal liquor, municipal golf course, sports arena, water and sewer, storm drainage, cemetery, and
street light utility.
The government-wide financial statements not only include the City itself (known as the primary
government), but also the Apple Valley Economic Development Authority (EDA). The EDA is legally
separate and is reported as if it were part of the primary government because it provides services
exclusively for the City. The EDA is reported as the Economic Development Debt Service Fund and the
EDA Operations Special Revenue Fund.
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 two categories: governmenta l funds and
proprietary funds.
Governmental Funds – Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on the 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 funds Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenue , 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 funds Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenue, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund
Balances for the General Fund, Closed Bond Issues Debt Service Fund, 2001/2008B Refunding
Improvement Bonds Debt Service Fund, Road Improvements Capital Projects Fund, and Future Capital
Projects Capital Projects Fund, 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 nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this
report.
-6-
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund, Road Improvements Capital Projects
Fund, Future Capital Projects Capital Projects Fund, Cable TV Special Revenue Fund, EDA Operations
Special Revenue Fund, Equipment Certificate Capital Projects Fund, and Cable Capital Equipment
Capital Projects Fund. A budgetary comparison statement or schedule has been provided for these funds
to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
Proprietary Funds – The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are
used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial
statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its municipal liquor, municipal golf course,
sports arena, water and sewer, storm drainage, cemetery, and street light utility operations. Internal
service funds are accounting devices used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s
various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its dental insurance, benefits/other
insurance, and vehicle and equipment replacement. Because these services predominantly benefit
governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been included within governmental activities
in the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial statements, only
in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the municipal
liquor, municipal golf course, sports arena, water and sewer, storm drainage, cemetery, and street light
utility operations, all of which are considered to be major funds of the City. Conversely, the internal
service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary funds financial
statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combin ing
statements elsewhere in this report.
Notes to Basic Financial Statements – The notes to basic financial statements provide additional
information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund
financial statements.
Other Information – In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report
also presents required supplementary information and the combining and individual fund statements and
schedules (presented as supplementary information) referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor
governmental funds and internal service funds, which are presented immediately following the basic
financial statements.
Further, a statistical section has been included as part of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR) to facilitate additional analysis, and is the third and final section of the report.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of the City’s financial position. In
the case of the City, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources by $249,719,273 at 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, equipment, distribution system, and infrastructure) less any related debt used to
acquire those assets 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 investments
in its capital assets are 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.

Summary of Net Position
as of December 31, 2017 and 2016
Governmental Activities
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 of $39,682,988
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.
There was an increase in net position in the governmental activities of $4,818,160, and a decrease in
business-type activities of $26,280,273, for a net total decrease of $21,462,113 in net position. This
change in net position reflects an increase of $4,391,062 from the current year operating results, while the
prior period adjustment mentioned earlier reduced net position by $25,853,175.
Both governmental activities and business-type activities experienced changes in deferred outflows of
resources, deferred inflows of resources, and long-term liabilities as a result of the City’s participation in
defined benefit pension plans. The City also experienced a decrease in current assets and long-term
liabilities, due to payments on refunded bonds in the current year.

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 currently available resources. Such information is useful in
assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful
measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $50,825,446, a decrease of $12,536,778 in comparison with the prior year.
The City has five major governmental funds: the General Fund, the Closed Bond Issues Debt Service
Fund, the 2001/2008B Refunding Improvement Bonds Debt Service Fund, the Road Improvements
Capital Projects Fund, and the Future Capital Projects Capital Projects Fund.
General Fund
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, total fund
balance of the General Fund was $17,336,413. As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be
useful to compare the unassigned fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance
represents 49.3 percent of subsequent year budget expenditures, including transfers.
Total fund balance for the City’s General Fund increased by $726,959 during 2017. Key factors in this
increase are as follows:
• The City adopted a balanced budget prior to the start of the current year.
• License and permit revenues were approximately $1,760,000 over budget and are an increase of
about $1,200,000 over the prior year, due to an increase in development activity within the City.
• Expenditures were approximately $1,500,000 under the 2017 budgeted amounts, due to position
vacancies and uncompleted 2017 capital purchases that were carried over into 2018.
• The total fund balance increase of $726,959 is after transferring $1,950,000 out of the General
Fund to the Future Capital Projects Capital Projects Fund in accordance with the City’s fund
balance policy.
Closed Bond Issues Fund – Debt Service Fund
The Closed Bond Issues Fund accumulates resources remaining from retired debt service f unds. The fund
balance at the end of 2017 is $9,440,666, which increased $597,101 from the prior year. The increase
results from the Closed Bond Issues Fund collecting $524,422 in special assessments on previously levied
assessments.
2001/2008B Refunding Improvement Bonds Fund – Debt Service Fund
The 2001/2008B Refunding Improvement Bonds Fund accounts for the debt service activity and special
assessment collections for bond retirement. The fund balance at the end of 201 7 is negative $2,846,426.
The fund balance increased $82,005 from the prior year, resulting from the special assessment collections
in the current year.
-14-
Road Improvements Fund – Capital Projects Fund
The Road Improvements Fund receives transfers from other funds. These resources are used to finance
street overlays and reconstruction projects per the City’s pavement management plan. The fund balance at
the end of 2017 is negative $5,174,280, which is an increase of $24,582 from the prior year.
Future Capital Projects Fund – Capital Projects Fund
The Future Capital Projects Fund accumulates resources according to the City Council’s adopted fund
balance policy. This policy calls for amounts in the General Fund that exceed a maximum level to be
transferred to the Future Capital Projects Fund. The fund balance at the end of 2017 is $15,353,401,
which is an increase of $677,633 from the prior year. A transfer from the General Fund was received in
2017 in the amount of $1,950,000 in accordance with the fund balance policy. A transfer out in the
amount of $1,295,900 was made in 2017 to replace the 2017 property tax levy for the 2012 Park
Refunding Bonds and to support capital activities.
Proprietary Funds – The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the
government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. The City has seven enterprise funds and three
internal service funds. The seven enterprise funds include: Municipal Liquor Fund, Municipal Golf
Course Fund, Sports Arena Fund, Water and Sewer Fund, Storm Drainage Fund, Cemetery Fund, and the
Street Light Utility Fund.
The total net position of all enterprise funds totals $110,535,661, $94,851,212, of which is capital assets,
net of related debt and in total, is a decrease of $26,268,679 from the prior year, mostly due to the prior
period adjustment reported in the current year related to changes in the depreciable lives used on
previously capitalized assets of the Water and Sewer and Storm Drainage Funds. The total unrestricted
net position for all proprietary funds for the year was $15,505,784, a decrease of $1,702,495.
Municipal Liquor Fund
The net position in the Municipal Liquor Fund increased $325,471 from current year operations. This
increase reflects continued positive operations of the City’s liquor stores after transferring $630,000 to the
General Fund in support of public safety and parks and recreation activities. The increase in the
Municipal Liquor Fund current year operations comes from maintaining gross profit margins.
Municipal Golf Course Fund
The Municipal Golf Course Fund operations posted a decrease in net position from current year
operations of $364,084.
Sports Arena Fund
The Sports Arena Fund posted an increase in net position from current year operations of $56,342, which
is after inclusion of an annual $121,000 property tax levy.
Water and Sewer Fund
The Water and Sewer Fund is the City’s largest proprietary fund . Unrestricted net position at the end of
the year amounted to $11,946,924, a decrease of $1,661,329. Current year operations posted a $526,162
decrease in net position, resulting from a $600,000 transfer to the Road Improvements Capital Projects
Fund. Total net investment in capital assets totals $57,880,536, a decrease of $15,411,809, mainly due to
the prior period adjustment as previously mentioned.
-15-
Storm Drainage Fund
The Storm Drainage Fund decreased its net position by $9,290,132. This is mainly due to the prior period
adjustment as previously mentioned.
Cemetery Fund
The Cemetery Fund increased its net position by $67,259, which results from additional lot sales during
the year.
Street Light Utility Fund
The Street Light Utility Fund increased its net position by $9,603 in the current year.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The most significant amendment to the 2017 General Fund budget was made to provide for projects that
were carried over from 2016 to 2017.
During the year, the total revenues exceeded the final amended budgetary estimates by $1,805,398, which
can be attributed to licensing and permits exceeding the budget by $1,759,679, due to increased
development activity in the current year.
Total actual expenditures were $1,541,986 less than the budgetary estimates. General Fund budget
performance can be attributed to curtailing spending where possible, position vacancies during the year,
and conservative budgeting practices. Personal services in the General Fund ended t he year about
$671,000 under budget. In addition, actual capital outlay expenditures were approximately $320,000 less
than anticipated for 2017.
-16-
CAPITAL ASSETS AND LONG-TERM DEBT
Capital Assets – The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities
as of December 31, 2017 amounts to $219,746,354 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in
capital assets includes land and land improvements, construction in progress, buildings, other
improvements, furniture and equipment, and infrastructure. The total decrease in the City’s investment in
capital assets for the current fiscal year was $22,086,848, or approximately 9.1 percent, mainly due to the
prior period adjustment related to capital asset activity and depreciable lives. Total depreciation charged
in 2017 was $10,780,672.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND RATES
The City’s budget, along with the 5-year Capital Improvement Plan, is an important part of the City’s
public process. The combination of these documents provides the framework that allows the City to
address needed maintenance and provide for the growth and demands for service. Through innovation and
efficiencies, the City continues to provide quality services that meet or exceed the expectations of our
community members. Strong financial stewardship and quality customer service is a hallmark of the
City’s government and is evidenced by the City’s AAA bond rating.
Departments successfully managed their expenditures and as a result General Fund expenditures were
approximately 5 percent below the authorized budget. The City experienced growth in licenses and
permits, due to a surge in single and multi-family development activity, which began in 2014 and is
anticipated to last beyond 2018. The City will continue to make significant ongoing investments in the
Street and Utility Infrastructure Preservation and Reconstruction Program.
These factors were considered in preparing the City’s budget for the 2018 fiscal year:
• Property taxes provide the largest source, approximately 73.0 percent, of the resources needed to
support the General Fund activities. Minnesota cities are not subject to levy limits for 2018.
• Property values in the City are increasing as they are in other locations. The increase in the
median valued residential property for the 2018 budget year will be approximately 6.4 percent,
compared to an increase of 2.5 percent for the 2017 budget year. The preliminary county data for
2018 shows a 9.3 percent increase in the median valued home.
• The total property tax levy increased 3.8 percent for 2018.
• The taxes paid by the median valued home increased for 2018 to $988 from $966 in 2017,
approximately 1.8 percent.
• Contract settlements with all of the City’s three unions have been reached through 2019.

CITY OF APPLE VALLEY
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
as of December 31, 2017
-37-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Organization
The City of Apple Valley, Minnesota (the City) is a statutory city governed by an elected mayor and four
councilmembers. The accompanying financial statements present the government entities for which the
City is considered to be financially accountable.
The accounting policies of the City conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America as applicable to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and
financial reporting principles.
B. Reporting Entity
As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial
statements include the City (the primary government) and its component units. Component units are
legally separate entities for which the primary government is financially accountable, or for which the
exclusion of the component unit would render the financial statements of the primary government
misleading. The criteria used to determine if the primary government is financially accountable for a
component unit includes whether or not the primary government appoints the voting majority of the
potential component unit’s board, is able to impose its will on the potential component unit, is in a
relationship of financial benefit or burden with the potential component unit, or is fiscally depended upon
by the potential component unit.
The Apple Valley Economic Development Authority (EDA) was established to provide economic
development services to the City. Although a legally separate entity, the Apple Valley EDA is reported as
if it were part of the primary government because it provides services exclusively for the City. The Apple
Valley EDA governing body is substantially the same as the governing body of the primary government
because five of the Apple Valley EDA boardmembers are City Council members and the two other
members are appointed by the City Council. Management of the primary government also has operational
responsibility for the Apple Valley EDA. The Apple Valley EDA is a blended component unit of the City,
with the following funds reported as funds of the City: Economic Development Debt Service Fund and
the EDA Operations Special Revenue Fund. The Apple Valley EDA does not issue separate financial
statements.
C. Government-Wide Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements (Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities)
display information about the reporting government as a whole. These statements include all of the
financial activities of the City. Governmental activities, which are normally supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which significantly rely
upon sales, fees, and charges for support.
-38-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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, services, or privileges provided by a given function or
segment, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capi tal grants and contributions, including special
assessments that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function
or segment. Taxes and other internally directed revenues are reported as general revenues.
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when
a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes and special
assessments are recognized as revenues in the fiscal year for which they are certified for levy. Grants and
similar items are recognized when all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government -wide financial
statements. However, charges between the City’s enterprise funds and other functions are not eliminated,
as that would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported in those functions. Depreciation
expense is included in the direct expenses of each function. Interest on long-term debt is considered an
indirect expense and is reported separately on the Statement of Activities.
D. Fund Financial Statement Presentation
Separate fund financial statements are provided for governmental and proprietary funds. Major individual
governmental and enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
Aggregated information for the remaining nonmajor governmental funds is reported in a single column in
the fund financial statements.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis of accounting, transactions are
recorded in the following manner:
1. Revenue Recognition – Revenue is recognized when it becomes measurable and available.
“Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be determined and “available” means
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the
current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are coll ected
within 60 days after year-end. 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.
Grants and similar items are recognized when all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider
have been met. Proceeds of long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as
other financing sources.
Major revenue that is susceptible to accrual includes property taxes, special assessments,
intergovernmental revenue, charges for services, and interest earned on investments. Major
revenue that is not susceptible to accrual includes licenses and per mits, fees, and miscellaneous
revenue. Such revenue is recorded only when received because it is not measurable until
collected.
2. Recording of Expenditures – Expenditures are generally recorded when a liability is incurred,
except for principal and interest on long-term debt and other long-term liabilities, which are
recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. Capital asset acquisitions are
reported as capital outlay expenditures in the governmental funds.
-39-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and
accrual basis of accounting, similar to the government-wide financial statements. Proprietary funds
distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses
generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a
proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s enterprise
funds and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services . The operating expenses
for the enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative
expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses that do not meet this definition
are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Aggregated information for the internal service funds is reported in a single column in the proprietary
fund financial statements. Because the principal user of the internal services is the City’s governmental
activities, the financial statements of the internal service funds are consolidated into the governmental
column when presented in the government-wide financial statements. The cost of these services is
reported in the appropriate functional activity.
Description of Funds
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund (1000) – This fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Closed Bond Issues Debt Service Fund (3205) – This fund accounts for all the closed bond issues
that still have activity.
2001/2008B Refunding Improvement Bonds Debt Service Fund (3285) – This fund accounts for
the payment of the bond issuance for various improvements.
Road Improvements Capital Projects Fund (2025) – This fund accounts for various road
improvements.
Future Capital Projects Capital Projects Fund (4930) – This fund accounts for funds set aside for
future capital improvements.
The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
Municipal Liquor Fund (5000 and 5030) – This fund accounts for the operations of the City’s
liquor stores.
Municipal Golf Course Fund (5100) – This fund accounts for the operations of the City’s golf
course.
Sports Arena Fund (5200) – This fund accounts for the operations of the City’s sports arena.
Water and Sewer Fund (5300 and 5400) – This fund accounts for the activities of the City’s water
and sewer operations.
-40-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Storm Drainage Fund (5500 and 5550) – This fund accounts for the activities of the City’s storm
drainage operations.
Cemetery Fund (5600 and 5700) – This fund accounts for the activities of the City’s cemetery
operations.
Street Light Utility Fund (5800) – This fund accounts for the activities of the City’s street light
operations.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds – Internal service funds account for the financing of goods and services
provided to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost reimbursement basis. The City utilizes
a Dental Insurance Internal Service Fund, Benefits/Other Insurance Internal Service Fund, and a
Vehicle Equipment Replacement Internal Service Fund in managing city operations.
E. Cash and Investments
Cash and investments include balances from all funds that are combined and invested to the extent
available in various securities as authorized by state law. Earnings from the pooled investments are
allocated to the respective funds on the basis of applicable cash balance participation by each fund. The
City generally reports investments at fair value. Investment pools/mutual funds and certificates of deposit
with a maturity of less than one year are reported at amortized cost.
Restricted cash with fiscal agent in the Municipal Liquor Fund includes balances held in an account in
accordance with debt agreements to subsidize potential deficiencies from the liquor store operations that
could adversely affect debt service payments.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The hierarchy is based on the valuation
inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; and Level 3 inputs are significant
unobservable inputs.
Debt securities classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using a matrix pricing
technique. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on the securities’ relationship to benchmark
quoted prices.
See Note 2 for the City’s recurring fair value measurements as of year-end.
F. Receivables
Utility and miscellaneous accounts receivable are reported at gross. Since the City is generally able to
certify delinquent amounts to the county for collection as special assessments, no allowance for
uncollectible accounts has been provided on current receivables. The only receivables not expected to be
collected within one year are property taxes and special assessments receivable.
-41-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
G. Interfund Receivables and Payables
In the fund financial statements, activity between funds that is representative of lending or borrowing
arrangements is reported as either “due to/from other funds” (current portion) or “advances to/from other
funds.” 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.”
H. Land Held for Resale
Land held for resale represents various property purchases made by the City with the intent to sell in order
to increase tax base or to attract new businesses. These assets are stated at the lower of cost or acquisition
value. During the year ended December 31, 2017, management has reviewed the cost value reported for
these assets and has indicated the properties are fairly presented for financial reporting purposes.
I. Property Taxes
Property tax levies are set by the City Council in December of each year, and are certified to Dakota
County for collection in the following year. In Minnesota, counties act as collection agents for all
property taxes. The county spreads the levies over all taxable property. Such taxes become a lien on
January 1 and are recorded as receivables by the City on that date. Real property taxes may be paid by
taxpayers in two equal installments on May 15 and October 15. Personal property taxes are due in full on
May 15. The county provides tax settlements to cities and other taxing districts three times a year; in July,
December, and January.
Property taxes are recognized as revenue in the year levied in the government -wide financial statements
and proprietary fund financial statements. In the governmental fund financial statements, taxes are
recognized as revenue when received in cash or within 60 days after year-end. Taxes which remain
unpaid on December 31 are classified as delinquent taxes receivable, and are offset by a deferred inflow
of resources in the governmental fund financial statements.
J. Special Assessments
Special assessments represent the financing for public improvements paid for by benefiting property
owners. Special assessments are recorded as receivables upon certification to the county. Special
assessments are recognized as revenue in the year levied in the government -wide financial statements and
proprietary fund financial statements. In the governmental fund financial statements, special assessments
are recognized as revenue when received in cash or within 60 days after year -end. Governmental fund
special assessments receivable which remain unpaid on December 31 are offset by a deferred inflow of
resources in the governmental fund financial statements.
K. Prepaids
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as
prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. Prepaid items are reported
using the consumption method and recorded as expenditures/expenses at the time of consumption.
-42-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
L. Inventories
The inventories for the Municipal Golf and Municipal Liquor Funds use the average cost valuation
method. Inventories of the remaining governmental and proprietary funds are valued at cost using the
first-in, first-out valuation method. Inventories are recorded as expenditures or expenses when consumed.
M. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land, land improvements, buildings, other improvements, furniture and
equipment, and infrastructure assets (roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items) are reported in the
applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements.
Such assets are capitalized at historical cost, or estimated historical cost for assets where actual historical
cost is not available. Donated assets are recorded as capital assets at their estimated acquisition value on
the date of donation. The City defines capital assets as those with an initial, individual cost of $5,000 or
more with an estimated useful life in excess of two years. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that
do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Capital assets are recorded in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, but are not
reported in the governmental fund financial statements. Interest incurred during the construction phase of
capital assets for business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets
constructed. Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
Land and construction in progress are not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Assets Years
Buildings 7–40
Improvements other than buildings 5–40
Furniture and equipment 3–50
Infrastructure 25–50
N. Compensated Absences
Full-time employees employed by the City after January 1, 1995 are eligible for three to six weeks of
annual leave depending on their length of service with the City. Annual leave may not accrue in excess of
800 hours. Upon termination of employment with the City, employees in “good standing” are reimbursed
for all accrued and unused annual leave. Employees employed by the City prior to January 1, 1995 were
eligible to elect to continue earning sick leave and vacation in lieu of the annual leave option. Those
employees who elected not to take the annual leave provisions continue to be eligible to earn 12 days of
sick leave and two to four weeks of vacation per year, depending on their length of service with the City.
Sick leave may carry forward indefinitely. Upon termination of employment in “good standing,”
employees with more than 10 years of continuous service shall be paid up to one-third of their accrued
and unused sick leave. The maximum amount of vacation that may be accumulated is twice the amount
earned in any one year. Upon termination of employment, “good standing” employees shall be paid for
their accrued and unused vacation leave. Compensated absences are accrued in governmental fund
financial statements only when used or matured prior to year-end, due to employee termination or similar
circumstances. Vacation and sick benefits are recorded as expenses and liabilities in proprietary funds
when earned. Compensated absences payable in the government-wide Statement of Net Position and the
Statement of Net Position – Proprietary Funds include all leave balances accrued, but not yet used by
employees, whether or not the employees have terminated employment with the City.
-43-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
O. Long-Term Liabilities
In the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term
obligations are reported as liabilities. Bond premiums and discounts, if material, are deferred and
amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bond issuance costs are expensed in
the period incurred.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize 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 expenditures.
P. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets and liabilities, statements of financial position or balance sheets will sometimes
report separate sections for deferred outflows or inflows of resources. These separate financial statement
elements represent a consumption or acquisition of net position that applies to a future period, and so will
not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure), or an inflow of financial resources
(revenue) until then.
The City reports deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions in the government -wide
and enterprise funds Statement of Net Position. These deferred outflows and inflows result from
differences between expected and actual experience, changes in proportion, changes of assumptions,
differences between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments, and contributions to the
plan subsequent to the measurement date and before the end of the reporting period. These amounts are
deferred and amortized as required under pension standards.
Unavailable revenue, arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting and, therefore, is only
reported in the governmental funds Balance Sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenue
from two sources: property taxes and special assessments. These amounts are deferred and recognized as
an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
Q. Pension Plans
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 the PERA’s fiduciary net position have been
determined on the same basis as they are reported by the PERA, except that the 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.
-44-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The PERA has a special funding situation created by a direct aid contribution made by the state of
Minnesota. The direct aid is a result of the merger of the Minneapolis Employees Retirement Fund into
the PERA on January 1, 2015.
R. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:
1. In August of each year, city staff submits to the City Council, a proposed operating budget for the
year commencing the following January 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures
and the means of financing them for the upcoming year.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. The budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution by the City Council.
4. Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
5. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level. No fund’s budget
can be increased without City Council approval. The City Council may authorize transfers of
budgeted amounts between departments within any fund. Management may amend budgets
within a department level, so long as the total department budget is not changed.
6. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted during the year for the General Fund, Cable TV Special
Revenue Fund, and EDA Operations Special Revenue Fund. Annual appropriated budgets are not
adopted for debt service funds because effective budgetary control is alternatively achieved
through bond indenture provisions. Budgetary control for capital projects funds is accomplished
through the use of project controls and formal appropriated budgets are not adopted for most
capital projects funds. In 2017, the City also adopted formal annual appropriated budgets for the
Road Improvements Capital Projects, Future Capital Projects, Equipment Certificate Capital
Projects, and Cable Capital Equipment Capital Projects Funds.
7. The finance director/treasurer presents monthly reports to the City Council.
8. Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted or as amended by the City Council. Budgeted
expenditures lapse at year-end.
S. Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the City considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an
original maturity from the time of purchase by the City of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The
proprietary fund’s portion in the government-wide cash and investment management pool is considered to
be cash equivalent.
-45-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
T. Net Position and Flow Assumptions
In the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, net position represents the difference
between assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources. Net position
is displayed in three components:
• Net Investment in Capital Assets – Consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation,
reduced by any outstanding debt attributable to acquire capital assets.
• Restricted Net Position – Consists of net position restricted when there are limitations imposed
on its use through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of
other governments.
• Unrestricted Net Position – All other elements of net position that do not meet the definition of
“restricted” or “net investment in capital assets.”
The City applies restricted resources first when an expense is incurred for which both restricted and
unrestricted resources are available.
U. Fund Balance Classifications and Flow Assumptions
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance in classifications that disclose
constraints for which amounts in those funds can be spent. These classifications are as follows:
• Nonspendable – Consists of amounts that are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items,
inventory, and other long-term assets.
• Restricted – Consists of amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by
creditors, grantors, or contributors; or constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
• Committed – Consists of internally imposed constraints that are established by resolution of the
City Council. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the
City Council removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action it employed
to previously commit those amounts.
• Assigned – Consists of internally imposed constraints. These constraints consist of amounts
intended to be used by the City for specific purposes, but do not meet the criteria to be classified
as restricted or committed. In governmental funds, assigned amounts represent intended uses
established by the governing body itself or by an official to which the governing body delegates
the authority. Pursuant to City Council resolution, the city administrator and/or the finance
director/treasurer are authorized to establish assignments of fund balance.
• Unassigned – The residual classification for the General Fund which also reflects negative
residual amounts in other funds.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to first use
restricted resources, then use unrestricted resources as they are needed. When committed, assigned, or
unassigned resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use resources in the following
order: 1) committed, 2) assigned, and 3) unassigned.
-46-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
V. 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; and natural disasters. The City participates in the League of Minnesota Cities
Insurance Trust (LMCIT), a public entity risk pool for its general property and casualty, workers ’
compensation, and other miscellaneous insurance coverage. The LMCIT operates as a common risk
management and insurance program for a large number of cities in Minnesota. The City pays an annual
premium to the LMCIT for insurance coverage. The LMCIT agreement provides that the trust will be
self-sustaining through member premiums and will reinsure through commercial companies for claims in
excess of certain limits. The City also carries commercial insurance for certain other risks of loss . Settled
claims resulting from these risks did not exceed insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.
There were no significant reductions in insurance coverage in 2017.
The City uses its Dental Insurance Internal Service Fund to account for and finance its self-insured risk of
loss for an employee dental plan. The dental plan is funded by the City, employee contributions, and
investment earnings. The claims liability of $6,786 is included in the liabilities of the Dental Insurance
Internal Service Fund at December 31, 2017, and is based on the requirement that a liability for claims be
reported if information prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probabl e that a
liability has been incurred on the date of the financial statements and the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Changes in the fund’s claim liability for the past two years were:
Claims
Beginning and Changes Claim Ending
Balance in Estimates Payments Balance
2016 6,767$ 203,790$ 202,997$ 7,560$
2017 7,560$ 207,642$ 208,416$ 6,786$
W. Restricted Assets
Restricted assets are cash, investments, and interest accrued thereon; the use of which is limited by
external requirements such as a bond indenture.
X. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Y. Prior Period Adjustment
A prior period adjustment, reducing equity by $16,546,976 and $9,306,199, was recorded in the Water
and Sewer Fund and Storm Drainage Fund, respectively, in the proprietary fund statements, which is part
of business-type activities on the government-wide statements. This change was related to the City’s
inventory of capitalized assets and the related useful lives.
-47-
NOTE 2 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS
A. Components of Cash and Investments
Cash and investments at year-end consist of the following:
Deposits 3,928,086$
Investments 63,797,822
Petty cash 18,100
Total 67,744,008$
Cash and investments are presented in the financial statements as follows:
Statement of Net Position
Cash and investments 67,565,343$
Restricted assets
Cash and investments for debt service 178,665
Total 67,744,008$
B. Deposits
In accordance with applicable Minnesota Statutes, the City maintains deposits at depository banks
authorized by the City Council, including checking accounts and certificates of deposit.
The following is considered the most significant risk associated with deposits:
Custodial Credit Risk – In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the
City’s deposits may be lost.
Minnesota Statutes require that all deposits be protected by federal deposit insurance, corporate surety
bond, or collateral. The market value of collateral pledged must equal 110 percent of the deposits not
covered by federal deposit insurance or corporate surety bonds. Authorized collateral includes
treasury bills, notes, and bonds; issues of U.S. government agencies; general obligations rated “A” or
better; revenue obligations rated “AA” or better; irrevocable standard letters of credit issued by the
Federal Home Loan Bank; and certificates of deposit. Minnesota Statutes require that securities
pledged as collateral be held in safekeeping in a restricted account at the Federal Reserve Bank or in
an account at a trust department of a commercial bank or other financial institution that is not owned
or controlled by the financial institution furnishing the collateral. The City has no additional deposit
policies addressing custodial credit risk.
At year-end, the carrying amount of the City’s deposits was $3,928,086, while the balance on the
bank records was $4,302,673. At December 31, 2017, all deposits were fully covered by federal
depository insurance, surety bonds, or by collateral held by the City’s agent in the City’s name.

Credit Risk Maturity Duration in Years
Interest Risk –
Investments are subject to various risks, the following of which are considered the most significant:
Custodial Credit Risk – For investments, this is the risk that in the event of a failure of the
counterparty to an investment transaction (typically a broker-dealer), the City would not be able to
recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside
party. The City’s investment policy states that the City may not invest in securities that are both
uninsured and not registered in the name of the City and are held by either the counterparty or the
counterparty’s trust department or agent, but not in the name of the City.
Credit Risk – This is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its
obligations. Minnesota Statutes limit the City’s investments to direct obligations or obligations
guaranteed by the United States or its agencies; shares of investment companies registered under the
Federal Investment Company Act of 1940 that receive the highest credit rating, are rated in one of the
two highest rating categories by a statistical rating agency, and all of the investments have a final
maturity of 13 months or less; general obligations rated “A” or better; revenue obligations rated “AA”
or better; general obligations of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency rated “A” or better; bankers’
acceptances of United States banks eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System; commercial
paper issued by United States corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries, rated of the highest quality
category by at least two nationally recognized rating agencies, and maturing in 270 days or less;
Guaranteed Investment Contracts guaranteed by a United States commercial bank, domestic branch of
a foreign bank, or a United States insurance company, and with a credit quality in one of the top two
highest categories; repurchase or reverse purchase agreements and securities lending agreements with
financial institutions qualified as a “depository” by the government entity, wit h banks that are
members of the Federal Reserve System with capitalization exceeding $10,000,000; that are a
primary reporting dealer in U.S. government securities to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; or
certain Minnesota securities broker-dealers. The City’s investment policy addresses credit risk by
limiting investments to the safest type of securities and using prequalifying brokers/financial
institutions.

NOTE 2 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
Concentration Risk – This is the risk associated with investing a significant portion of the City’s
investment (considered 5.0 percent or more) in the securities of a single issuer, excluding
U.S. guaranteed investments (such as treasuries), investment pools, and mutual funds. The City’s
investment policy states no more than 5.0 percent of the overall portfolio may be invested in the
securities of a single issuer, except for the securities of the U.S. government or an external investment
pool. As of December 31, 2017, the City’s investment portfolio includes the Federal National
Mortgage Association at 5.3 percent and Federal Home Loan Bank at 9.2 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 the period for which an interest rate is fixed, the
greater the risk). The City’s investment policy does include specific limits on investment maturities as
a means of managing its exposure to fair value arising from i ncreasing interest rates. It also states
investments should not be purchased that are considered to be highly sensitive to interest rate
changes.

D. Description of Long-Term Debt
• General Obligation Bonds and General Obligation Improvement Bonds – The City issues
general obligation (G.O.) bonds to provide financing for street, utility, park, and cemetery project
improvements. The City issues G.O. equipment certificates to provide financing for capital
equipment. Debt service is covered respectively by special assessments, state aids, general
property taxes, and tax increments. G.O. bonds and equipment certificates are direct obligations
and pledge the full faith and credit of the City. Equipment certificates are issued as five-year
notes with fluctuating debt service payments each year.
In April 2013, the City issued $9,000,000 of G.O. Crossover Refunding Bonds, Series 2013A.
The proceeds of this issue and interest earned thereon were used to refund the 2023 through 2032
maturities of the City’s G.O. Park Bonds, Series 2007A, totaling $4,150,000, on their December
15, 2017 call date and the 2023 through 2032 maturities of the City’s G.O. Park Bonds, Series
2008D, totaling $4,225,000, on their December 15, 2017 call date. Until the call date, the City
made all debt service payments on the 2007A and 2008D issues, and all debt service on the
2013A issue were paid from the refunding escrow account. This “crossover refunding” reduced
the City’s total future debt service payments by $1,031,660 and resulted in a present value
savings of $1,047,760.
In May 2015, the City issued $5,860,000 of G.O. Bonds, Series 2015B. The proceeds of this issue
and interest earned thereon were used to refund the 2018 through 2022 maturities of the City’s
G.O. Park Bonds, Series 2007A, totaling $1,155,000, on their December 15, 2017 call date, the
2018 through 2023 maturities of the City’s G.O. Park Bonds, Series 2008D, totaling $1,320,000,
on their December 15, 2017 call date, and the 2018 through 2032 maturities of the City’s
G.O. Park Bonds, Series 2011A and G.O. Storm Water Bonds, Series 2011A, totaling
$2,650,000, on their December 15, 2017 call date. Until the call date, the City made all debt
service payments on the 2007A, 2008D, and 2011A issues, and all debt service on the 2015B
issue were paid from the refunding escrow account. This “crossover refunding” reduced the
City’s total future debt service payments by $216,551 and resulted in a present value savings of
$231,938.
• General Obligation Revenue Bonds and Revenue Bonds – The City issues revenue bonds to
provide financing for its enterprise funds. The City issued revenue bonds for the liquor store and
G.O. revenue bonds for the arena, water and sewer, and storm drainage activity. Debt service is

F. Arbitrage Rebate
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 requires governmental entities to pay to the federal government income
earned on the proceeds from the issuance of debt in excess of interest costs, pending the expenditure of
the borrowed funds. This rebate of interest income (known as arbitrage) applies to governmental debt
issued after August 31, 1986. In the opinion of management, any obligation would be immaterial.
G. Conduit Debt Obligations
At times, the City has issued various types of revenue bonds to provide financial assistance to private
sector, nonprofit, or governmental entities to finance the acquisition or construction of 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 . Neither the City, nor
any political subdivision thereof, is obligated in any manner for repayment of the bonds. Accordingly, the
bonds are not reported as liabilities in the City’s financial statements. As of December 31, 2017, the
following conduit debt issues were outstanding:

NOTE 7 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS – STATE-WIDE
A. Plan Description
The City participates in the following cost-sharing, multi-employer defined benefit pension plans
administered by the PERA of Minnesota. The PERA’s defined benefit pension plans are established and
administered in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 353 and 356. The PERA’s defined benefit
pension plans are tax-qualified plans under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).
1. General Employees Retirement Fund (GERF)
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City are covered by the General Employees
Retirement Fund (GERF). GERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic
Plan. Coordinated Plan members are covered by Social Security and Basic Plan members are not.
The Basic Plan was closed to new members in 1967. All new members must participate in the
Coordinated Plan.
2. Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF)
The Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF), originally established for police officers
and firefighters not covered by a local relief association, now covers all police officers and
firefighters hired since 1980. Effective July 1, 1999, the PEPFF also covers police officers and
firefighters belonging to local relief associations that elected to merge with and transfer assets and
administration to the PERA.
B. Benefits Provided
The PERA provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are established by state
statutes and can only be modified by the State Legislature.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. Increases are related to the fundin g ratio
of the plan. Members in plans that are at least 90.0 percent funded for two consecutive years are given
2.5 percent increases. Members in plans that have not exceeded 90.0 percent funded, or have fallen below
80.0 percent, are given 1.0 percent increases.
The benefit provisions stated in the following paragraphs of this section are current provisions and apply
to active plan participants. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits, but are not
receiving them yet, are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their public
service.
1. GERF Benefits
Benefits are based on a member’s highest average salary for any five successive years of
allowable service, age, and years of credit at termination of service. Two methods are used to
compute benefits for the PERA’s Coordinated and Basic Plan members. The retiring member
receives the higher of a step-rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1) or a level accrual formula
(Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate for a Basic Plan member is 2.2 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 members hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full annuity is
available when age plus years of service equal 90 and normal retirement age is 65. For members
hired on or after July 1, 1989, normal retirement age is the age for unreduced Social Security
benefits capped at age 66.
-58-
NOTE 7 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS – STATE-WIDE (CONTINUED)
2. PEPFF Benefits
Benefits for the PEPFF members first hired after June 30, 2010 but before July 1, 2014, vest on a
prorated basis from 50 percent after five years, up to 100 percent after 10 years of credited
service. Benefits for the PEPFF members first hired after June 30, 2014 vest on a prorated basis
from 50 percent after 10 years, up to 100 percent after 20 years of credited service. The annuity
accrual rate is 3 percent of average salary for each year of service. For the PEPFF members who
were first hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service
equal at least 90.
C. Contributions
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. Contribution
rates can only be modified by the State Legislature.
1. GERF Contributions
Basic Plan members and Coordinated Plan members were required to contribute 9.10 percent and
6.50 percent, respectively, of their annual covered salary in calendar year 2017. The City was
required to contribute 11.78 percent of pay for Basic Plan members and 7.50 percent for
Coordinated Plan members in calendar year 2017. The City’s contributions to the GERF for the
year ended December 31, 2017 were $768,029. The City’s contributions were equal to the
required contributions as set by state statutes.
2. PEPFF Contributions
Plan members were required to contribute 10.80 percent of their annual covered salary in
calendar year 2017. The City was required to contribute 16.20 percent of pay for members in
calendar year 2017. The City’s contributions to the PEPFF for the year ended December 31, 2017
were $829,640. The City’s contributions were equal to the required contributions as set by state
statutes.
D. Pension Costs
1. GERF Pension Costs
At December 31, 2017, the City reported a liability of $10,488,804 for its proportionate share of
the GERF’s net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2017, 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 the PERA during the measurement period for employer payroll paid
dates from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, relative to the total employer contributions
received from all of the PERA’s participating employers. The City’s proportionate share was
0.1643 percent at the end of the measurement period and 0.1561 percent for the beginning of the
period.
-59-
NOTE 7 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS – STATE-WIDE (CONTINUED)
The City’s net pension liability reflected a reduction due to the state of Minnesota’s contribution
of $6 million to the fund. The state of Minnesota is considered a nonemployer contributing entity
and the state’s contribution meets the definition of a special funding situation. The amount
recognized by the City as its proportionate share of the net pension liability, the direct aid, and
total portion of the net pension liability that was associated with the City were as follows:
City’s proportionate share of net pension liability 10,488,804$
State’s proportionate share of the net pension liability
associated with the City 131,924$
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the City recognized pension expense of $1,380,121 for its
proportionate share of the GERF’s pension expense. In addition, the City recognized an
additional $3,810 as pension expense (and grant revenue) for its proportionate share of the state
of Minnesota’s contribution of $6 million to the GERF.
At December 31, 2017, the City reported its proportionate share of the GERF’s deferred outflows
of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

2. PEPFF Pension Costs
At December 31, 2017, the City reported a liability of $6,899,105 for its proportionate share of
the PEPFF’s net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2017 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 the PERA during the measurement period for employer payroll paid
dates from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, relative to the total employer contributions
received from all of the PERA’s participating employers. The City’s proportionate share was
0.5110 percent at the end of the measurement period and 0.5190 percent for the beginning of the
period.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the City recognized pension expense of $1,689,363 for its
proportionate share of the PEPFF’s pension expense. The City also recognized $45,990 for the
year ended December 31, 2017 as revenue and an offsetting reduction of net pension liability for
its proportionate share of the state of Minnesota’s on-behalf contributions to the PEPFF.
Legislation passed in 2013 required the state of Minnesota to begin contributing $9 million to the
PEPFF each year, starting in fiscal year 2014.
At December 31, 2017, the City reported its proportionate share of the PEPFF’s deferred outflows
of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

NOTE 7 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS – STATE-WIDE (CONTINUED)
E. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2017 actuarial valuation was determined using the following
actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.50% per year
Active member payroll growth 3.25% per year
Investment rate of return 7.50%
Salary increases were based on a service-related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees,
survivors, and disabilitants were based on RP-2014 tables for all plans for males or females, as
appropriate, with slight adjustments to fit the PERA’s experience. Cost of living benefit increases for
retirees are assumed to be 1.0 percent per year for the GERF through 2044, and the PEPFF through 2064,
and then 2.5 percent thereafter for both plans.
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2017 valuation were based on the results of actuarial
experience studies. The most recent four-year experience study in the GERF was completed in 2015. The
most recent five-year experience study for the PEPFF was completed in 2016.
The following changes in actuarial assumptions occurred in 2017:
1. GERF
• The Combined Service Annuity (CSA) loads were changed from 0.8 percent for active
members and 60.0 percent for vested and nonvested deferred members. The revised CSA
loads are now zero percent for active member liability, 15.0 percent for vested deferred
member liability, and 3.0 percent for nonvested 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.
2. PEPFF
• Assumed salary increases were changed as recommended in the June 30, 2016 experience
study. The net effect is proposed rates that average 0.34 percent lower than the previous rates.
• Assumed rates of retirement were changed, resulting in fewer retirements.
• The CSA load was 30.00 percent for vested and nonvested deferred members. The CSA has
been changed to 33.00 percent for vested members and 2.00 percent for nonvested members.
• The base mortality table for healthy annuitants was changed from the RP -2000 Fully
Generational Table to the RP-2014 Fully Generational Table (with a base year of 2006), with
male rates adjusted by a factor of 0.96. The mortality improvement scale was changed from
Scale AA to Scale MP-2016. The base mortality table for disabled annuitants was changed
from the RP-2000 Disabled Mortality Table to the mortality tables assumed for healthy
retirees.
• Assumed termination rates were decreased to 3.00 percent for the first three years of service.
Rates beyond the select period of three years were adjusted, resulting in more expected
terminations overall.
• Assumed percentage of married female members was decreased from 65.00 percent to
60.00 percent.
• Assumed age difference was changed from separate assumptions for male members (wives
assumed to be three years younger) and female members (husbands assumed to be four years
older) to the assumption that males are two years older than females.
-62-
NOTE 7 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS – STATE-WIDE (CONTINUED)
• The assumed percentage of female members electing joint and survivor annuities was
increased.
• The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.00 percent for all
years, to 1.00 percent per year through 2064, and 2.50 percent thereafter.
• The single discount rate changed from 5.60 percent to 7.50 percent.
The State Board of Investment, which manages the investments of the PERA, prepares an analysis o f the
reasonableness of the long-term expected rate of return on a regular basis using a building-block method
in which best-estimate ranges of expected future rates of return are developed for each major asset class.
These ranges are combined to produce an expected long-term rate of return by weighting the expected
future rates of return by the target asset allocation percentages. The target allocation and best estimates of
geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:
Asset Class
Domestic stocks 39 %5.10 %
International stocks 19 5.30 %
Bonds 20 0.75 %
Alternative assets 20 5.90 %
Cash 2 – %
Total 100 %
Target Long-Term Expected
Allocation Real Rate of Return
F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2017 was 7.50 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
positions of the GERF and the PEPFF 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
G. Pension Liability Sensitivity
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
1 percentage point lower or 1 percentage point higher than the current discount rate:

Detailed information about the GERF’s fiduciary net position is available in a separately issued PERA
financial report. That report may be obtained on the PERA website at www.mnpera.org; by writing to the
PERA at 60 Empire Drive, Suite 200, St. Paul, Minnesota 55103; or by calling (651) 296-7460 or
(800) 652-9026.
NOTE 8 – DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLAN – STATE-WIDE
Councilmembers of the City are covered by the Public Employees Defined Contribution Plan (PEDCP), a
multiple-employer deferred compensation plan administered by the PERA. The PEDCP is a tax qualified
plan under Section 401(a) of the IRC and all contributions by or on behalf of employees are tax deferred
until time of withdrawal.
Plan benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings, less
administrative expenses. Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353D.03, specifies plan provisions, including the
employee and employer contribution rates for those qualified personnel who elect to participate. An
eligible elected official who decides to participate contributes 5 percent of salary, which is matched by the
elected official’s employer. For ambulance service personnel, employer contributions are determined by
the employer, and for salaried employee contributions must be a fixed percentage of salary. 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, the PERA receives 2 percent of employer contributions and twenty-five hundredths of 1 percent
(0.0025) of the assets in each member’s account annually.
Total contributions made by the City for the fiscal year 2017 were:

NOTE 9 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN – FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION
A. Plan Description
All members of the Apple Valley Fire Department (the Department) are covered by a defined benefit plan
administered by the Apple Valley Firefighters’ Relief Association (the Association). As of the
measurement date, the plan covered 64 active members, 19 inactive members entitled to future benefits,
and 32 inactive members or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits. The plan is a single employer
retirement plan and is established and administered in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 69.
The Association maintains a separate Special Pension Trust 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.

NOTE 9 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN – FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION
(CONTINUED)
B. Benefits Provided
Each member who is at least 50 years of age, has separated from service from the fire department, has
served at least 5 years of active service for members commencing active duty prior to January 1, 2010,
and 10 years of active service for members commencing active duty after January 1, 2010 with such
department before separation and has been a member of the Association in good standing at least 5 years
prior to such separation shall be entitled to a lump sum service pension in the amount of $6,700 for each
year of service (including each year over 20) or a monthly service pension of $45 for each year of service
(including each year over 20) but not exceeding the maximum amount per year of service allowed by law
for the minimum average amount of available financing per firefighter as prescribed by law.
According to the bylaws of the Association and pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, members who separate
from service with less than 20 years of service and have reached the age of at least 50 , and have
completed at least 5 years of active membership for members commencing active duty prior to January 1,
2010, and 10 years of active membership for members commencing active duty after January 1, 2010, 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 nonforfeitable percentage of
pension for the completed years of service times the applicable nonforfeitable 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). Required
employer contributions are calculated annually based on statutory provisions. The City’s
statutorily-required contributions to the plan for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $243,200. The
City’s contributions were equal to the required contributions as set by state statutes. The City made no
voluntary contributions to the plan. Furthermore, the firefighter has no obligation to contribute to the
plan.
D. Pension Costs
At December 31, 2017, the City reported a net pension liability (asset) of ($791,026) for the plan. The net
pension liability (asset) was measured as of December 31, 2016. The total pension liability used to
calculate the net pension liability (asset) in accordance with GASB Statement No. 68 was determined by
applying an actuarial formula to specific census data certified by the Department as of December 31,
2016.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the City recognized pension expense of $244,652. The City also
recognized $281,578 as revenue from the state of Minnesota on-behalf contributions to the Department.

E. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of the measurement date using the
following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation 2.50%
Salary increases N/A
Investment rate of return
Index rate for 20-year, tax-exempt municipal bonds
(Bond Buyer G.O. 20-Year Municipal Bond Index);
used in discount rate determination 3.78%
N/A – Not Applicable
7.50% net of pension plan investment
expense, including inflation
Mortality rates were based on the July 1, 2016 Minnesota Public Employees Retirement Association
Police and Fire Plan actuarial valuation as described below:
Healthy Pre-Retirement – RP-2000 Nonannuitant Generational Mortality Table projected with
Scale AA, white collar adjustment, male rates set back two years, female rates set back two years.
Healthy Post-Retirement – RP-2000 Nonannuitant Generational Mortality Table, projected with
Scale AA, white collar adjustment, without age adjustment.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block
method in which best-estimates of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension
plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These asset class
estimates are combined to produce the portfolio long-term expected rate of return by weighting the
expected future real rates of return by the current asset allocation percentage (or target allocation, if
available) and by adding expected inflation. All results are then rounded to the nearest quarter percent.

states that “if the evaluations required by paragraph 41 can be made with sufficient reliability without a
separate projection of cash flows into and out of the pension plan, alternative methods may be applied in
making the evaluations.” We believe that the plan’s current overfunded status, combined with Minnesota
statutory funding requirements, provide sufficient reliability that projected plan assets will be adequate to
pay future retiree benefits. Therefore, we used the plan’s long-term expected investment return as the
liability discount rate.
G. Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate
The following presents the net pension liability (asset) of the Association, calculated using the discount
rate of 7.50 percent, as well as what the Association’s net pension liability (asset) would be if it were
calculated using a discount rate that is 1 percentage-point lower (6.50 percent) or 1 percentage-point
higher (8.50 percent) than the current rate:

NOTE 10 – OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) PLAN
A. Plan Description
The City provides post-employment benefits to certain eligible employees and their spouses through the
City’s OPEB Plan, a single-employer defined benefit plan administered by the City. All post-employment
benefits are based on contractual agreements with employee groups. These contractual agreements do not
include any specific contribution or funding requirements. The plan does not issue a publicly available
financial report. These benefits are summarized as follows:
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 re tiree
must pay the full premium to continue coverage for medical and dental insurance.
The City is legally required to include any retirees for whom it provides health insurance coverage in
the same insurance pool as its active employees, whether premiums are paid by the City or the retiree.
Consequently, participating retirees are considered to receive a secondary benefit known as an
“implicit rate subsidy.” This benefit relates to the assumption that the retiree is receiving a more
favorable premium rate than they would otherwise be able to obtain if purchasing insurance on their
own, due to being included in the same pool with the City’s younger and statistically healthier active
employees.
B. Funding Policy
The required contributions are based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements, with additional
amounts to prefund benefits as determined annually by the City.
C. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The City’s annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on annual required contributions (ARC) of the
City, an amount determined on an actuarially determined basis in accordance with the parameters of
GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is
projected to cover normal costs each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding
excess) over a period not to exceed 30 years. The annual OPEB cost is accrued in the accrual-based
statements. The liability is funded through payments from the City’s General Fund and enterprise funds.
The following table shows the components of the City’s annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount
actually contributed to the plan, and the changes in the City’s net OPEB obligation to the plan:
ARC 226,905$
Interest on net OPEB obligation 73,964

NOTE 10 – OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) PLAN (CONTINUED)
The City’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net
OPEB obligation for the current and preceding years are as follows:
Percentage of
Fiscal Year Ended Annual Employer Annual OPEB Net OPEB

2016 227,404$ 25,687$ 11%1,643,653$
2017 236,704$ 74,524$ 31%1,805,833$
D. Funded Status and Funding Progress
As of January 1, 2016, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the actuarial accrued liability for benefits
and unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) were both $1,966,565, as the plan was unfunded. The
covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $13,401,000 and the ratio
of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 15 percent.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability 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 ARC 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 following the notes to basic 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.
E. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as
understood by the employer and the 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 actuarial 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.
In the January 1, 2016 actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used. The
actuarial assumptions included: a 4.50 percent investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses)
based on the City’s own investments; an annual payroll growth rate of 3.50 percent; an annual healthcare
cost trend rate of 9.00 percent initially, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of 5.00 percent after
12 years for medical insurance; and a general inflation rate of 2.75 percent. The UAAL is amortized on a
level dollar basis over an open 30-year period.

NOTE 13 – JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH DAKOTA COUNTY
In July 1987, the City and Dakota County (the County) entered into an agreement whereby the City and
the County jointly acquired certain real estate for the purpose of building a library facility to serve the
City and surrounding communities. The City’s portion of the cost of the property was $348,414. As part
of this agreement, the City transferred its interest in the property to the Cou nty but maintains a lien for
30 years. If during this time, the County terminates its library use, the County will pay the City the
unamortized cost of the property.
NOTE 14 – TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENTS
The City, in order to spur economic development and redevelopment , has entered into private
development and redevelopment agreements to encourage a developer to construct, expand, or improve
new or existing properties and building or clean-up and redevelop blighted areas. The City has four
agreements that would be considered a tax abatement under GASB Statement No. 77.
The City is authorized to create a tax increment finance plan under Minnesota Statute s, Chapter 469.175.
The criteria that must be met under the statutes are that, in the opinion of the municipality:
• The proposed development or redevelopment would not reasonably be expected to occur solely
through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future;
• The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use
of tax increment financing would be less that the increase in the market value estimated to result
from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments
for the maximum duration of the tax increment district permitted in the plan. The requirements of
this item do not apply if the district is a housing district;
• That the tax increment financing plan conforms to the general plan for the development or
redevelopment of the municipality as a whole; and
• That the tax increment financing plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the
sound needs of the municipality as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the project
by private enterprise.
The City has entered into private development agreements regarding certain properties within a tax
increment district. Included in the development agreement was the reimbursement of eligible
development costs. The vehicle used for this reimbursement is called a tax increment revenue note.
These notes provide for the payment of principal, equal to the developer’s eligible costs, plus interest at a
set rate. Payments on the note will be made at the lesser of the note payment or a percent of the available
tax increment received during the specific year as stated in the agreement. Payments are first applied to
accrued interest and then to the principal balance. The notes are to be cancelled at the end of the term,
whether or not the note has been repaid in full.
The agreements are not a general obligation of the City and are payable solely from available tax
increments, received from the property owner. The City’s position is that these are obligations to assign
future and uncertain revenues sources and, as such, is not actual debt in substance.

NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A. Legal Claims
The City has the usual and customary type of miscellaneous legal claims pending at year-end. Although
the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, the City’s management believes that the City
will not incur any material monetary loss resulting from these claims . No loss has been recorded on the
City’s financial statements relating to these claims.
B. Freeway Landfill
In February 2017, the Environmental Protection Agency sent letters to potentially responsible
parties (PRPs) related to the clean-up of the Freeway Landfill property under the federal Superfund
Program. The State Legislature passed Laws 2017, Chapter 93, Article 2, Sections 124–128, which
transferred liability from PRPs to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (PCA). The City continues to
work with the PCA to secure funds for the closure of the landfill.
C. Federal and State Funding
Amounts recorded or receivable from federal and state agencies are subject to agency a udit and
adjustment. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the
applicable funds. The amount, if any, of claims which may be disallowed by the grantor agencies cannot
be determined at this time, although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
-74-
NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
D. Tax Increment Districts
The City’s tax increment districts are subject to review by the state of Minnesota Office of the State
Auditor. Any disallowed claims or misuse of tax increments could become a liability of the 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.
E. Construction Commitments
At December 31, 2017, the City is committed to various construction contracts for the improvement of
city property. The City’s remaining commitment under these contracts is approximately $6,500,000.
F. Operating Lease
On October 22, 2015, the City entered into an agreement to extend the existing liquor store building lease
at Apple Valley Shopping Center with Time Square Shopping Center II, LLP for t hree years commencing
February 1, 2016, and ending January 31, 2019 at a base rent of $11,000 per month. Lease expenditures
for the year ending December 31, 2017 were $132,000. The following is a schedule by years of future
minimum payments required under the leases as of December 31, 2017:

Overlapping governments are those that coincide,at least in part,with the geographic boundaries of the City.This
schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents
and businesses of the City.This process recognizes that,when considering the City’s ability to issue and repay
long-term debt,the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account.However,
this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident and,therefore,responsible for repaying the debt of each term
debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account.
Metro Transit has bond indebtedness of $177,190,000 as of December 31,2017.Transit debt is issued by the
Metropolitan Council for all public transit operations in the transit district and is payable from ad valorem taxes
levied on all taxable property within the Metropolitan Transit District.
Dakota County.Percentage of debt applicable is calculated by dividing a portion of tax capacity of the authority that
lies in the City divided by the total tax capacity that lies in Dakota County.

AUDIT SUMMARY
The following is a summary of our audit work, key conclusions, and other information that we consider
important or that is required to be communicated to the City Council, administration, or those charged
with governance of the City.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY UNDER AUDITING STANDARDS GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA AND GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements. Professional standards require that
we provide you with information about our responsibilities under auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, as well as certain information related
to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information to you verbally
and in our audit engagement letter. Professional standards also require that we communicate the following
information related to our audit.
PLANNED SCOPE AND TIMING OF THE AUDIT
We performed the audit according to the planned scope and timing previously discussed and coordinated
in order to obtain sufficient audit evidence and complete an effective audit.
AUDIT OPINION AND FINDINGS
Based on our audit of the City’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017:
• We have issued an unmodified opinion on the City’s basic financial statements.
• We reported one matter involving the City’s internal control over financial reporting that we
considered to be a significant deficiency. Due to the limited size of the City’s staff, the City has
limited segregation of duties over cash receipts, community center refunds and reimbursements,
golf course inventory, and utility billing adjustments. This finding is further detailed in the City’s
Special Purpose Audit Reports.
• The results of our testing disclosed no instances of noncompliance required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
• We reported two findings based on our testing of the City’s compliance with Minnesota laws and
regulations. These findings, as further detailed in the City’s Special Purpose Audit Reports,
include the following:
1. Responsible Contractor Language
2. Claims and Disbursements
-2-
OTHER OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Golf Course Inventory and Event Revenue Tracking
As part of our audit, we noted the City does not have an adequate process for tracking both food and
beverage inventory at the golf course. Due to the size and nature of the golf course operations,
segregation of duties is limited in the ordering, receiving, and recording of inventory, and there are no
standardized processes for interim or annual physical counts. Additionally, the usage of food and
beverage inventories that occurs during events held at the golf course is not accurately captured by the
current inventory software, due to system limitations and internal modification deficiencies made to the
software. These conditions expose the City to a higher risk that errors or fraud could occur and not be
detected in a timely manner in the normal course of business. One way to h elp mitigate this risk would be
to implement monthly physical inventory counts, which are then reviewed in conjunction with the
financial activities and results that occur during the same time period. The effectiveness of this type of
control procedure is somewhat dependent upon the frequency and timeliness with which it is performed.
During our audit, we also evaluated the golf course’s information systems, policies and procedures
surrounding event management, including the billing of its customers. During our procedures, we noted it
was necessary for the golf course to utilize a stand-alone system for event tracking, due to the inability of
the golf course point-of-sale system and the City’s finance system to generate itemized invoices for
events. The particular sale details are then later manually entered into the point -of-sale system at the golf
course in order for the data to be transferred into the City’s finance software.
During the current audit year, the City reviewed the operations at the golf course and is in the process of
implementing controls and procedures surrounding event management and billing and tracking of both
food and beverage inventory. We recommend the City continues to review these systems and monitor the
controls to ensure all events held at the golf course are properly included in the City’s point -of-sale and
financial systems. Furthermore, we recommend the City standardize the billing process for events held at
the golf course, including assessing whether these functions should be centralized and completed within
the finance department.
Claims and Disbursements
All general disbursement invoices are paid through the City’s finance department. During the audit
process, it was noted that vendor invoices are being received in various departments within the City. On
occasion, there is a timing delay of sending the invoice to the finance department for payment. We
recommend the City review claims and disbursement payment procedures and obtain all vendor invoices
centrally at city hall to process in the electronic accounts payable system through the finance department.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant
accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 of the notes to basic financial statements.
No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during
the year ended December 31, 2017; however, the City implemented the following governmental
accounting standards during the fiscal year:
• Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 79, Certain External
Investment Pools and Pool Participants, which enhanced disclosures regarding investments.
• GASB Statement No. 82, Pension Issues, an amendment of GASB Statements No. 67, No. 68, and
No. 73, which addressed certain issues related to pension reporting and disclosures.
-3-
We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative
guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the
proper period.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND MANAGEMENT JUDGMENTS
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about
future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the
financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ
significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements were:
• Depreciation – Management’s estimates of depreciation expense are based on the estimated
useful lives of the assets.
• Net Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB) Liabilities and Pension Benefits – The City has
recorded liabilities and activity for net other post-employment benefits (OPEB) and pension
benefits. These obligations are calculated using actuarial methodologies described in the GASB
Statement Nos. 45 and 68. These actuarial calculations include significant assumptions, including
projected changes, healthcare insurance costs, investment returns, retirement ages, proportionate
share, and employee turnover.
• Compensated Absences – Management’s estimates are based on current rates of pay and unused
compensated absence balances.
• Self-Insurance Reserves – Management’s estimates of self-insurance reserves are based on the
estimated liability for incurred but not reported claims.
• Land Held for Resale – Management’s estimates of these assets are based on the lower of cost
or acquisition value.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these accounting estimates in determining
that they are reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
CORRECTED AND UNCORRECTED MISSTATEMENTS
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the
audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.
Where applicable, management has corrected all such misstatements, including the prior period
adjustment noted in the comprehensive annual financial report. There were no additional misstatements
detected as a result of audit procedures that were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each
opinion unit’s financial statements taken as a whole.
DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED IN PERFORMING THE AUDIT
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our
audit.
-4-
DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT
For purposes of this report, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or
auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial
statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the
course of our audit.
MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATIONS
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management
representation letter dated June 25, 2018.
MANAGEMENT CONSULTATIONS WITH OTHER INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves
application of an accounting principle to the City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of
auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards requi re the
consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our
knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
OTHER AUDIT FINDINGS OR ISSUES
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing
standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these
discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our respo nses were not a
condition to our retention.
OTHER MATTERS
We applied certain limited procedures to the management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) and the
pension and OPEB-related required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial
statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding 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 did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on
the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the supplementary information accompanying the financial statements,
which is not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of
management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that
the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and
complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the
supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements
or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the introductory and statistical sections, which accompany the financial
statements, but are not RSI. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on it.

GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS OVERVIEW
This section of the report provides you with an overview of the financial trends and activities of the City’s
governmental funds, which includes the General, special revenue, debt service, and capital project funds.
These funds are used to account for the basic services the City provides to all of its citizens, which are
financed primarily with property taxes. The governmental fund information in the City’s financial
statements focuses on budgetary compliance and the sufficiency of each governmental fund’s current
assets to finance its current liabilities.
PROPERTY TAXES
Minnesota cities rely heavily on local property tax levies to support their governmental fund activities.
For the 2016 fiscal year, local ad valorem property tax levies provided 39.8 percent of the total
governmental fund revenues for cities over 2,500 in population, and 36.4 percent for cities under 2,500 in
population.
The total market value of property in Minnesota cities increased about 5.6 percent for the 2017 levy year,
which followed an increase of 5.7 percent for levy year 2016. The market values used for levying
property taxes are based on the previous fiscal year (e.g., market values for taxes levied in 2017 were
based on assessed values as of January 1, 2016), so the trend of change in these market values lags
somewhat behind the housing market and economy in general.
The City’s taxable market value increased 5.6 percent for taxes payable in 2016 and increased 4.6 percent
for taxes payable in 2017. The following graph shows the City’s changes in taxable market value over the
past 10 years:

Taxable Market Value

Tax capacity is considered the actual base available for taxation. It is calculated by applying the state’s
property classification system to each property’s market value. Each property classification, such as
commercial or residential, has a different calculation and uses different rates. Consequently, a city’s total
tax capacity will change at a different rate than its total market value, as tax capacity is affected by the
proportion of its tax base that is in each property classification from year -to-year, as well as legislative
changes to tax rates. The City’s tax capacity increased 5.2 percent for taxes payable in 2016 and increased
4.4 percent for taxes payable in 2017.

The City’s portion of the tax capacity rate has been similar to state-wide and seven-county metro
averages. The total tax rate applied to the City’s residents is lower than average, due to the much lower
average tax rate of the county.

as of December 31,
In total, the fund balances of the City’s governmental funds decreased by $12,536,778 during the year
ended December 31, 2017. The decrease is mainly in fund balance restricted for debt service, due largely
to the 2013A and 2015B bond proceeds being used in the current year to refund outstanding bonds in
advance of scheduled payment dates.

GOVERNMENTAL FUND REVENUES
The following table presents the per capita revenue of the City’s governmental funds for the past
three years, along with state-wide averages.
We have included the most recent comparative state-wide averages available from the Office of the State
Auditor to provide a benchmark for interpreting the City’s data. The amounts received from the typical
major sources of governmental fund revenue will naturally vary between cities based on factors , such as a
city’s stage of development, location, size and density of its population, property values, services it
provides, and other attributes. It will also differ from year-to-year, due to the effect of inflation and
changes in its operation. Also, certain data in these tables may be classified differently than how they
appear in the City’s financial statements in order to be more comparable to the state-wide information,
particularly in separating capital expenditures from current expenditures.
We have designed this section of our management report using per capita data in order to better identify
unique or unusual trends and activities of the City. We intend for this type of comparative and trend
information to complement, rather than duplicate, information in the MD&A. An inherent difficulty in
presenting per capita information is the accuracy of the population count, which for most years is based
on estimates.

Governmental Funds Revenue per Capita
With State-Wide Averages by Population Class
State-Wide City of Apple Valley
The City’s governmental funds have generated significantly less revenue per capita in total than other
Minnesota cities in its population class. As noted above, the City receives a lower level of
intergovernmental revenue than the average city, causing the City to rely on property taxes and other
forms of revenue to operate the governmental activities of the City.
The City generated $38,970,339 of total revenue in its governmental funds in 2017, a decrease of
$2,546,000 (6.1 percent) from the prior year. The City’s per capita governmental funds revenue for 2017
was $745, a decrease of $64, or 7.9 percent, from the prior year. The largest changes occurred in special
assessments, other revenue, and licenses and permits. Special assessment revenue decreased $51 per
capita, due to the decreased special assessment prepayments in the current year. The decrease in other
revenue of $34 per capita is due to additional project escrow deposits and park dedications received in the
prior year. These decreases were offset by the $22 per capita increase in licenses and permits, due to
increased building activity.
-9-
GOVERNMENTAL FUND EXPENDITURES
The expenditures of governmental funds will also vary from state -wide averages and from year-to-year,
based on the City’s circumstances. Expenditures are classified into three types as follows:
• Current – These are typically the general operating type expenditures occurring on an annual
basis, and are primarily funded by general sources, such as taxes and intergovernmental revenues.
• Capital Outlay and Construction – These expenditures do not occur on a consistent basis, more
typically fluctuating significantly from year-to-year. Many of these expenditures are
project-oriented, and are often funded by specific sources that have benefited from the
expenditure, such as special assessment improvement projects.
• Debt Service – Although the expenditures for debt service may be relatively consistent over the
term of the respective debt, the funding source is the important factor. Some debt may be repaid
through specific sources, such as special assessments or redevelopment funding, while other debt
may be repaid with general property taxes.
The City’s expenditures per capita of its governmental funds for the past three years, together with
state-wide averages, are presented in the following table:

average.
Total expenditures in the City’s governmental funds for 2017 were $40,714,407, an increase of $620,049
(1.5 percent). The City’s per capita governmental funds current expenditures decreased $14 per capita,
mainly in the general government function. Debt service expenditures experienced an increase of $12 per
capita as established with the scheduled payment plans approved at the time of issuing debt.

GENERAL FUND
The City’s General Fund accounts for the financial activity of the basic services provided to the
community. The primary services included within this fund are the administration of the municipal
operation, police and fire protection, building inspection, streets and highway maintenance, and parks and
recreation. The graph below illustrates the change in the General Fund financial position over the last
five years. We have also included a line representing annual expenditures to reflect the change in the size
of the General Fund operation over the same period.

General Fund Financial Position
Year Ended December 31,
The City’s General Fund cash and investments balance at December 31, 2017 was $15,908,162, an
increase of $1,705,556 from the previous year. Total fund balance at December 31, 2017 was
$17,336,413, an increase of $726,959 from the prior year.
Having an appropriate fund balance is an important factor in assessing the City’s financial health because
a government, like any organization, requires a certain amount of equity to operate. Generally, the amount
of equity required typically increases as the size of the operation increases. A healthy financial position
allows the City to avoid volatility in tax rates; helps minimize the impact of state funding changes; allows
for the adequate and consistent funding of services, repairs, and unexpected costs; and can be a factor in
determining the City’s bond rating and resulting interest costs.
The City Council has formally adopted a fund balance policy that states the City will strive to maintain a
minimum unassigned General Fund balance of 50.0 percent of the subsequent year’s budgeted
expenditures. At December 31, 2017, the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was 49.3 percent
of the subsequent year’s budgeted expenditures, including transfers.

Total General Fund expenditures for 2017 were $27,274,374, which was $1,541,986 (5.4 percent) less
than budget. This variance was spread across all functions. General government was under budget
$463,108, mostly in the information technology department related to lower than anticipated costs in
software licensing and equipment purchases. Public safety was under budget $530,742, mostly in the fire
protection and police protection departments resulting from less equipment purchases and position
vacancies. Public works expenditures were $423,931 under budget, mostly from savings of overtime
hours in the streets department. The remaining variance was in parks and recreation expenditures, which
was $124,205 under budget, mostly in the parks maintenance department in equipment purchases and
lower than budgeted benefit costs.

Enterprise Funds Change in Financial Position
Net Position
as of December 31,
In total, the net position ($110,535,661) of the City’s enterprise funds decreased by $415,504 during the
year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in the net investment in capital assets reflects the continued
investment in utility infrastructure and other capital assets. The decrease in unrestricted net position
($1,702,495) is due to the use of unrestricted net position for capital asset purchases in the current year.
In the current year, the City reported a prior period adjustment in the Water and Sewer Fund and Storm
Drainage Fund related to the City’s inventory of capitalized assets and the related useful lives. This prior
period adjustment reduced beginning equity by $16,546,976 in the Water and Sewer Fund and $9,306,199
in the Storm Drainage Fund. The 2016 balances in the table above have been restated for this adjustment.

from the prior year. Of this net position, $57,880,536 represents the investment in water and sewer
distribution system capital assets, leaving $11,946,924 of unrestricted net position. This fund recorded a
prior period adjustment related to the City’s inventory of capitalized assets and the related useful lives
that reduced beginning net investment in capital assets by $16,546,976.
Water and Sewer Fund operating revenue was $9,910,773 for 2017, an increase of $460,411 (4.9 percent)
from the prior year, due to an increase in rates. Operating expenses (excluding depreciation) of
$7,016,546 were $614,699 (9.6 percent) higher than last year, mainly due to an increase in building
repairs, consulting services related to the comprehensive plan, and the increased sewer charges.
Although this fund is in a healthy financial position, we suggest that the City continue to review the water
and sewer rates on an annual basis. Water and sewer rates are generally designed to cover operating costs
and provide an accumulation of resources for significant repairs and replacements, and an operating
cushion for potential negative years in financial operations.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In addition to fund-based information, the current reporting model for governmental entities also requires
the inclusion of two government-wide financial statements designed to present a clear picture of the City
as a single, unified entity. These government-wide statements provide information on the total cost of
delivering services, including capital assets and long-term liabilities.
STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
The Statement of Net Position essentially tells you what your city owns and owes at a given point in time,
the last day of the fiscal year. Theoretically, net position represents the resources the City has leftover to
use for providing services after its debts are settled. However, those resources are not always in spendable
form, or there may be restrictions on how some of those resources can be used. Therefore, the Statement
of Net Position divides the net position into three components:
• Net Investment in Capital Assets – The portion of net position reflecting equity in capital assets
(i.e., capital assets minus related debt).
• Restricted Net Position – The portion of net position equal to resources whose use is l egally
restricted minus any noncapital-related liabilities payable from those same resources.
• Unrestricted Net Position – The residual balance of net position after the elimination of net
investment in capital assets and restricted net position.
The following table presents the components of the City’s net position as of December 31, 2017 and
2016, for governmental activities and business-type activities:
Increase
2016 (as restated)2017 (Decrease)

Total net position 245,328,211$ 249,719,273$ 4,391,062$
As of December 31,
The City’s total net position at December 31, 2017 was $4,391,062 higher than the previous year-end,
which was comprised of an increase of $4,818,160 in governmental activities and a decrease of $427,098
in business-type activities.
In the current year, the City reported a prior period adjustment in the Water and Sewer Fund and Storm
Drainage Fund, which is part of business-type activities on the entity-wide statements, related to the
City’s inventory of capitalized assets and the related useful lives. This prior period adjustment reduced
beginning equity by $25,853,175. The 2016 balances in the table above have been restated for this
adjustment.
-22-
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The Statement of Activities tracks the City’s yearly revenues and expenses, as well as any other
transactions that increase or reduce total net position. These amounts represent the full cost of providing
services. The Statement of Activities provides a more comprehensive measure than just the amount of
cash that changed hands, as reflected in the fund-based financial statements. This statement includes the
cost of supplies used, depreciation of long-lived capital assets, and other accrual-based expenses.
The following table presents the change in the net position of the City for the years ended December 31,
2017 and 2016:

Net Change
One of the goals of this statement is to provide a side-by-side comparison to illustrate the difference in the
way the City’s governmental and business-type operations are financed. The table clearly illustrates the
dependence of the City’s governmental operations on general revenues, such as property taxes and
unrestricted grants. It also shows if the City’s business-type activities are generating sufficient program
revenues (service charges and program-specific grants) to cover expenses. This is critical given the
current downward pressures on the general revenue sources.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATES
The 2017 legislative session began with a full agenda, which included adopting a fiscal year 2018–2019
biennial state budget. The February 2017, state budget forecast projected that the state General Fund
would end the 2016–2017 biennium with a surplus of $743 million, eliminating the need for budget cuts
or transfers to balance the fund. However, the Legislature was expected to address several significant
spending areas for which successful funding appropriations had not been passed in recent legislative
sessions. The 2017 regular legislative session ended with four omnibus budget bills being vetoed,
potentially leaving a number of these same areas without appropriations. After a three-day special session,
the Governor and Legislature were able to agree on budget and appropriation bills addressing most of the
state budgetary needs for the upcoming biennium, albeit not without several line item vetoes invoked by
the Governor, including striking the appropriations for operating the House and Senate from the bills.
The following is a summary of recent legislation affecting Minnesota cities:
Omnibus Bonding Bill – The omnibus bonding bill authorizes financing for approximately $1.1 billion
in capital improvements. Included in the approved funding was $255 million for transportation
infrastructure, $83 million for economic development, $116 million for Public Financing Agency water
infrastructure loans and grants to municipalities, and $4 million for Metropolitan Council inflow and
infiltration improvement grants to metro area cities.
Omnibus Transportation Bill – The omnibus transportation bill appropriates $2.95 billion in fiscal 2018
and $2.87 billion in fiscal 2019, for a wide variety of transportation related projects. Included in the
appropriations are approximately $191 million and $198 million for municipal state aid street fund
purposes in fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019, respectively.
Property Tax Relief – The omnibus tax bill contained a number of property tax relief measures,
including:
• Elimination of the implicit price deflator annual increase for the state general property tax
levy, effectively freezing it at the payable 2018 level for many property classes;
• Exempting the first $100,000 of each commercial-industrial parcel’s tax capacity from the
state general property tax levy;
• Expanding eligibility for homestead or agricultural property classification exemptions for
certain types of resort and conservation property for general property taxes; and
• Increasing the minimum value for a storage shed, deck, or similar structure on a leased
mobile home to be considered taxable from $1,000 to $10,000.
Local Government Aid – The annual appropriation for Local Government Aid (LGA) for cities was
increased $15.0 million to $534.4 million for aid payable in 2018 and thereafter, and the LGA payment
schedule was accelerated for fiscal 2019 only. Several corrections were also mad e to the city LGA
formula calculation, and a sparsity adjustment was incorporated for certain medium and small cities
beginning in 2018.
Minnesota Investment Fund – The omnibus jobs and economic growth bill appropriates $12.5 million
for each year of the biennium for the Minnesota Investment Fund, which is available for municipalities to
provide loans to assist with the expansion of local businesses.
Electronic Funds Transfers – Effective August 1, 2017, home rule charter cities of the second, third, or
fourth class are added to the list of local government entities allowed to pay certain claims using
electronic funds transfers. To be eligible, local governments must enact specified policy controls
governing the initiation, authorization, and documentation of electronic funds transfers.
Claims Declaration – The requirement to obtain a specific form of written claim declaration was also
repealed based on the understanding that by making the claim, the party making the claim is declaring
that the claim is just and correct and has not been paid previously.
-24-
City E-mail Address Required to Receive State Aid – Effective for state aids payable in 2018 and
thereafter, cities will be required to register an official e-mail address with the Commissioner of the state
Department of Revenue in order to receive state aid payments.
Workforce Housing Tax Increment Financing – The omnibus tax bill created a new authorized use of
tax increment financing (TIF), for workforce housing in cities located outside of the statutorily defined
metropolitan area that meet certain criteria.
Tax Increment Financing Interfund Loans – Interfund loan provisions for TIF were amended to make
it easier for cities and development authorities to make and document interfund loans. Loans may now be
made or documented up to 60 days after the actual transfer or expenditure occurs. Interfund loan
resolutions may now be passed prior to the final approval of the related TIF plan. Loan terms may be
amended after the loan has been made if the TIF district has not been decertified.
Public Debt – The Legislature passed several amendments to statutes governing public debt that took
effect on July 1, 2017, including:
• Allowing both home rule charter and statutory cities to issue 20-year capital notes for projects
to eliminate R-22 Freon-based refrigerant;
• Increasing the maximum dollar limit on Housing and Redevelopment Authority general
obligation bond issues from $3 million to $5 million; and
• Modifying the requirements for street reconstruction bonds to be approved by a two-thirds
majority of the governing body rather than requiring unanimous approval.
Local Housing Trust Funds – The omnibus jobs and economic growth appropriations bill established
authority for cities to create a local housing trust fund by ordinance, or to participate in a joint powers
agreement to establish a regional housing trust fund. The funds, which may be financed from sources such
as local government appropriations or housing and redevelopment authority levies, may be used for grants
or loans for development, rehabilitation, financing of housing to match federal or state or private funds for
housing, down payment assistance, rental assistance, or homebuyer counseling.
Long-Term Equity Investment Authority – Effective July 1, 2017, cities with a population of more
than 100,000 or those that had their most recently issued general obligation bonds rated in the highest
category, are authorized to invest in an expanded list of authori zed investments that includes certain
equity-based investments. The amount invested in equity-based investments cannot exceed 15 percent of
the sum of a city’s assigned cash, cash equivalents, deposits, and investments. Before investing in the
expanded list of authorized investments, the governing body of the municipality must adopt a resolution
acknowledging the risks assumed.
Border-to-Border Broadband Grants – The Legislature appropriated $20 million in fiscal 2018 for the
Border-to-Border Broadband Grant Program. The grants, available through the Office of Broadband
Development in the Department of Employment and Economic Development, provide funding to help
communities meet state goals for the development of state-wide, high-speed broadband access, focusing
on areas currently considered to be underserved or with a high concentration of low-income households.
Elections – An omnibus elections law was passed making several modifications to election
administration, including: requiring special elections conducted by local governments be held on one of
five uniform election dates, clarifying the timeline for municipalities to change from odd to even -year
election cycles or vise-versa, allowing municipalities to canvass the results of a primary election on the
second or third day after the primary, and appropriating $7 million for grants to replace aging election
equipment or purchase electronic poll books.
-25-
Workers’ Compensation and PERA Retirement Benefits – A statutory change was adopted based on
the results of recent court rulings that Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) retirement
benefits should not be offset against workers’ compensation permanent total disability benefits. Under the
new law, claimants would receive all past and future permanent and total disability benefits without a
PERA retirement offset. Effective January 1, 2019, the contribution rates for the Police and Fire Plan will
increase. Employee and employer rates will increase by 1.0 percent and 1.5 percent , respectively, phased
in over a two-year period.
Notice of Proposed Ordinances – A new statute was created requiring cities to provide a 10-day notice
prior to a scheduled final vote on most new proposed ordinances or amendments to ordinances, and
specifying the various acceptable means of providing the required notification.
State Building Code Applicability – Construction, additions, and alterations to places of public
accommodation; defined as publicly or privately-owned facilities designed for occupancy by 200 or more
people as a sports or entertainment arena, stadium, theater, community or convention hall, special event
center, indoor amusement facility or water park, or indoor swimming pool; must comply with the state
building code.
Sunday Liquor Sales – Minnesota Statutes were amended to allow for the sale of intoxicating liquor on
Sundays between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. by off-sale licensees, effective July 1, 2017.
REAL ID Act – Minnesota Statutes were amended to make the state compliant with federal REAL ID
Act requirements, which will change identity verification and security related to state-issued identification
cards and driver’s licenses.

ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING UPDATES
GASB STATEMENT NO. 75, ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING FOR POSTEMPLOYMENT
BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than
Pensions, establishes new accounting and financial reporting requirements for governments whose
employees are provided with other post-employment benefits (OPEB), as well as for certain nonemployer
governments that have a legal obligation to provide financial support for OPEB provided to the
employees of other entities. This statement replaces the requirements of GASB Statement Nos. 45 and 57.
This statement establishes standards for recognizing and measuring liabilities, deferred outflows of
resources, deferred inflows of resources, and expense/expenditures. Similar to changes implemented for
pensions, this statement requires the liability of employer and nonemployer contributing entities to
employees for defined benefit OPEB (net OPEB liability) to be measured as the portion of the present
value of projected benefit payments to be provided to current active and inactive employees that is
attributed to those employees’ past periods of service (total OPEB liability), less the amount of the OPEB
plan’s fiduciary net position. Note disclosure and RSI requirements about defined benefit OPEB also are
addressed.
The requirements for this statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2017. Earlier
application is encouraged.
GASB STATEMENT NO. 83, CERTAIN ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
This statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for certain asset retirement obligations
(ARO), which are legally enforceable liabilities associated with the retirement of a tangible capital asset.
This statement establishes criteria for determining the timing and pattern of recognition of a liability and a
corresponding deferred outflow of resources for ARO. A government that has legal obligations to perform
future asset retirement activities related to its tangible capital assets should recognize a liability when it is
both incurred and reasonably estimable. The measurement of an ARO is required to be based on the best
estimate of the current value of outlays expected to be incurred, and a deferred outflow of resources
associated with an ARO is required to be measured at the amount of the corresponding liability upon
initial measurement.
This statement requires the current value of a government’s AROs to be adjusted for the effects of general
inflation or deflation at least annually, and a government to evaluate all relevant fac tors at least annually
to determine whether the effects of one or more of the factors are expected to significantly change the
estimated asset retirement outlays. A government should remeasure an ARO only when the result of the
evaluation indicates there is a significant change in the estimated outlays. Deferred outflows of resources
should be reduced and recognized as outflows of resources in a systematic and rational manner over the
estimated useful life of the tangible capital asset.
If a government owns a minority interest in a jointly owned tangible asset where a nongovernmental
entity is the majority owner or has operational responsibility for the jointly owned asset, the government’s
minority share of an ARO should be reported using the measurement produced by the nongovernmental
majority owner or the nongovernmental minority owner that has operational responsibility, without
adjustment to conform to the liability measurement and recognition requirements of this statement.
-27-
The statement also requires disclosures of any funding or financial assurance requirements a government
has related to the performance of asset retirement activities, along with any assets restricted for the
payment of the government’s AROs. This statement also requires disclosure of information about the
nature of a government’s AROs, the methods and assumptions used for the estimates of the liabilities, and
the estimated remaining useful life of the associated tangible capital assets. If an ARO (or portions
thereof) has been incurred by a government but is not yet recognized because it is not reasonably
estimable, the government is required to disclose that fact and the reasons therefor. This statement
requires similar disclosures for a government’s minority shares of AROs.
The requirements of this statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2018.
Earlier application is encouraged.
GASB STATEMENT NO. 84, FIDUCIARY ACTIVITIES
This statement establishes criteria for identifying fiduciary activities of all state and local governments.
The focus of the criteria generally is on (1) whether a government is controlling the assets of the fiduciary
activity and (2) the beneficiaries with whom a fiduciary relationship exists. Separate criteria are included
to identify fiduciary component units and post-employment benefit arrangements that are fiduciary
activities.
An activity meeting the criteria should be reported in a fiduciary fund in the basic financial statements,
which should present a statement of fiduciary net position and a statement of changes in fiduciary net
position. This statement describes four fiduciary funds that should be reported, if applicable: (1) pension
(and other employee benefit) trust funds, (2) investment trust funds, (3) private-purpose trust funds, and
(4) custodial funds. Custodial funds generally should report fiduciary activities that are not held in a trust
or equivalent arrangement that meets specific criteria.
A fiduciary component unit, when reported in the fiduciary fund financial statements of a primary
government, should combine its information with its component units that are fiduciary component units
and aggregate that combined information with the primary government’s fiduciary funds.
This statement also provides for recognition of a liability to the beneficiaries in a fiduciary fund when an
event has occurred that compels the government to disburse fiduciary resources, defined as when a
demand for the resources has been made or when no further action, approval, or condition is required to
be taken or met by the beneficiary to release the assets.
The requirements of this statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.
Earlier application is encouraged.
GASB STATEMENT NO. 85, OMNIBUS 2017
The objective of this statement is to address issues that have been identified during implementation and
application of certain GASB statements. The statement addresses a variety of topics, including issues
related to blending component units, goodwill, fair value measurement and application, and
post-employment benefits (pensions and OPEB). The statement is meant to enhance consistency in the
application of recent accounting and financial reporting standards. The requirements of this statement are
effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2017.
-28-
GASB STATEMENT NO. 86, CERTAIN DEBT EXTINGUISHMENT ISSUES
Current GASB guidance requires that debt be considered defeased in substance when the debtor
irrevocably places cash or other monetary assets acquired with refunding debt proceeds in a trust to be
used solely for satisfying scheduled payments of both principal and interest of the defeased debt. This
new standard establishes essentially the same requirements for when a government places cash and other
monetary assets acquired with only existing resources in an irrevocable trust to extinguish the debt.
The primary objective of this statement is to improve consistency in accounting and financial reporting
for in-substance defeasance of debt by providing guidance for transactions in which cash and other
monetary assets acquired with only existing resources—resources other than the proceeds of refunding
debt—are placed in an irrevocable trust for the sole purpose of extinguishing debt. This statement also
improves accounting and financial reporting for prepaid insurance on debt that is extinguished and notes
to financial statements for debt that is defeased in substance. The requirements of this statement are
effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2017.
GASB STATEMENT NO. 87, LEASES
A lease is a contract that transfers control of the right to use another entity’s nonfinancial asset as
specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Examples of
nonfinancial assets include buildings, land, vehicles, and equipment. Any contract that meets this
definition should be accounted for under the leases guidance, unless specifically excluded in this
statement.
Governments enter into leases for many types of assets. Under the previous guidance, leases were
classified as either capital or operating depending on whether the lease met any of four tests. In many
cases, the previous guidance resulted in reporting lease transactions differently than similar nonlease
financing transactions.
The goal of this statement is to better meet the information needs of users by improving accounting and
financial reporting for leases by governments. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on
the principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. This statement increases the
usefulness of financial statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases
that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of
resources based on the payment provisions of the contract.
Under this statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right -to-use lease
asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources, thereby
enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about governments’ leasing activities.
To reduce the cost of implementation, this statement includes an exception for short-term leases, defined
as a lease that, at the commencement of the lease term, has a maximum possible term under the lease
contract of 12 months (or less), including any options to extend, regardless of their probability of being
exercised. Lessees and lessors should recognize short-term lease payments as outflows of resources or
inflows of resources, respectively, based on the payment provisions of the lease contract. The
requirements of this statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the City Council and Management
City of Apple Valley, Minnesota
We have audited, 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, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of
the City of Apple Valley, Minnesota (the City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements,
and have issued our report thereon dated June 25, 2018.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control
over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do
not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A
significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less
severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may
exist that have not been identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be a material weakness. We did identify certain
deficiencies in internal control, described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Responses as
item 2017-001, that we consider to be a significant deficiency.
(continued)
-2-
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
CITY’S RESPONSE TO FINDING
The City’s response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying Schedule of
Findings and Responses. The City’s response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
ON MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE
To the City Council and Management
City of Apple Valley, Minnesota
We have audited, 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, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of
the City of Apple Valley, Minnesota (the City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements,
and have issued our report thereon dated June 25, 2018.
MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE
The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Cities, promulgated by the State Auditor pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes § 6.65, contains seven categories of compliance to be tested: contracting and bidding,
deposits and investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, claims and disbursements,
miscellaneous provisions, and tax increment financing. Our audit considered all of the listed categories.
In connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City failed to
comply with the provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Cities, except as
described in the Schedule of Findings and Responses as items 2017-002 and 2017-003. However, our
audit was not directed primarily toward obtaining knowledge of such noncompliance. Accordingly, had
we performed additional procedures, other matters may have come to our attention regarding the City’s
noncompliance with the above referenced provisions.
CITY’S RESPONSES TO FINDINGS
The City’s responses to the legal compliance findings identified in our audit have been included in the
Schedule of Findings and Responses. The City’s responses were not subject to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.
PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of compliance and the results of
that testing, and not to provide an opinion on compliance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any
other purpose.

Schedule of Findings and Responses
Year Ended December 31, 2017
-4-
A. FINDINGS – SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING
2017-001 INADEQUATE SEGREGATION OF DUTIES
Criteria – Internal control over financial reporting.
Condition – The City of Apple Valley, Minnesota (the City) has limited segregation of duties
over cash receipts, community center refunds and reimbursements, golf course inventory, and
utility billing adjustments.
Context – This is a current year and prior year finding.
Cause – The limited segregation of duties is primarily caused by the limited size of the City’s
finance and recreation department staff.
Effect – One important element of internal accounting controls is an adequate segregation of
duties such that no one individual has responsibility to execute a transaction, have physical
access to the related assets, and have responsibility or authority to record the transaction. A
lack of segregation of duties subjects the City to a higher risk that errors or fraud could occur
and not be detected in a timely manner in the normal course of business.
Recommendation – We recommend that the City continue to review its accounting
procedures and internal controls and make improvements on an ongoing basis within the
limits of the staff available.
Management Response – There is no disagreement with the audit finding. The City has
made improvements during the current year and is in the process of making additional
improvements to its internal control structure to maximize the segregation of duties in all
areas within the limits of the staff available.
B. FINDINGS – MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE AUDIT
2017-002 RESPONSIBLE CONTRACTOR LANGUAGE
Criteria – Minnesota Statutes § 16C.285.
Condition – Minnesota Statutes require the City to include responsible contractor language
for each construction contract in excess of $50,000, awarded pursuant to a lowest responsible
bidder or best value process. The successful contractor must submit a verificati on of
compliance signed under oath by an owner or officer verifying compliance with the minimum
criteria set forth in Minnesota Statutes § 16C.285.
Context – One of four bids tested was not in compliance. This is a current year finding.
Cause – This was an oversight by city personnel.
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY
Schedule of Findings and Responses (continued)
Year Ended December 31, 2017
-5-
B. FINDINGS – MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE AUDIT (CONTINUED)
2017-002 RESPONSIBLE CONTRACTOR LANGUAGE (CONTINUED)
Effect – One bid approved in 2017 was not in compliance with this statute for responsible
contractor requirements.
Recommendation – We recommend that the City review applicable statutes and bid
procedures to ensure future compliance.
Management Response – There is no disagreement with the audit finding. The City will
review its procedures to ensure that verifications are obtained in the future.
2017-003 CLAIMS AND DISBURSEMENTS
Criteria – Minnesota Statutes § 471.425, Subd. 2.
Condition – Minnesota Statutes require cities to pay each vendor obligation according to the
terms of each contract or within 35 days after the receipt of the goods or services , or the
invoice for the goods or services. If such obligations are not paid within the appropriate time
period, cities must pay interest on the unpaid obligations at the rate of 1.5 percent per month
or part of a month. For one disbursement selected for testing, the City did not pay the
obligation within the required time period, and did not pay interest on the unpaid obligation.
Context – One of twenty-five disbursements tested were not in compliance. This is a current
year finding.
Cause – This was an oversight by city personnel by not submitting invoices to the centralized
accounts payable function.
Effect – One payment made to a vendor was not paid within the timeframe as required by
state statutes, and the vendor was not paid interest to which they were entitled.
Recommendation – We recommend that the City review claims and disbursements payment
procedures in place to ensure future compliance with this statute.
Management Response – The City agrees with the finding. The City will review its payment
procedures and monitor vendor submissions of invoices to ensure they are submitted to the
centralized accounts payable function.

To the Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Citizens of the City of Apple Valley:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of Apple Valley, Minnesota (the City),
for the year ended December 31, 2017, is hereby submitted. The report was prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as established by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board and meets the requirements of the State Auditor’s Office.
The report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City. Consequently,
management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all information presented
within this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the
City has established internal controls designed to protect the City’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and
to provide sufficient information for the preparation of these financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because the cost of internal
controls should not outweigh the benefits, the City’s internal controls have been designed to provide
reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements will be free from material
misstatements. As management, we assert that to the best of our knowledge and belief this CAFR is
complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City’s financial statements have been audited by Malloy, Montague, Karnowski, Radosevich & Co.,
P.A., Certified Public Accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable
assurance that the financial statements of the City for the year ended December 31, 2017, are free of
material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates used by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
Based upon the audit, the independent auditor concluded that there was a reasonable basis for rendering
an unmodified opinion that the City’s financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2017, are
fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The independent auditor’s report is presented in the financial section of this report.
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 st atements. The City’s
MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.

safety (police, fire, building inspections), public works, parks and recreation, and general government
administration. The City also operates a number of enterprise activities including: water and sanitary
sewer, Valleywood Golf Course, three off-sale liquor stores, storm water, street lights, sports arenas, and
a cemetery. Sanitary sewage treatment and disposal is operated on a regional basis by the Metropolitan
Council Environmental Services. Refuse collection and disposal are handled on a private basis through
contractual arrangements by city residents with private haulers. Further information regarding city
services can be obtained from the City’s website at www.ci.apple-valley.mn.us.
The Apple Valley Economic Development Authority (EDA) is a separate legal entity organized pursuant
to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 469, and is included as a blended component unit. The EDA is considered
a component unit because the governing body is comprised of City Council members and two other
members being appointed by the City Council. Also, the EDA is in a relationship of financial benefit or
burden with the City.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. The budgetary
process is outlined in the notes to basic financial statements. The City applies budgetary controls to
ensure compliance with legal provisions of the laws of Minnesota. Budgets are adopted on a basis
consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Annual budgets
are adopted for the General Fund in addition to certain special revenue and capital projects funds. Bud get
to actual comparisons are presented for each governmental fund for which an annual budget has been
adopted.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The City is committed to maintaining a strong financial condition, while continuing to provide public
services to its residents and businesses. The City’s financial position, as reflected in the financial
statements presented in the reports, is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the broader
perspective of the specific environment within which the City operates.
Local Economy
The economic conditions have improved for the City, its residents, and its businesses. The City’s
unemployment rate as of December 2017, for example, is 2.5 percent, compared to the State of
Minnesota’s rate of 3.4 percent and the national unemployment rate of 3.9 percent.
Unemployment Rate: Dec 2017 Dec. 2016 Dec. 2015 Dec 2014 Dec 2013
City of Apple Valley 2.5% 3.0% 2.6% 2.8% 3.6%
Dakota County 2.7% 3.4% 3.1% 3.8% 4.0%
State of Minnesota 3.4% 4.1% 3.7% 3.8% 4.5%
National 3.9% 4.5% 5.0% 5.6% 6.7%

Housing Values
Home values in the City are continuing a
positive trend, reflecting the recovery of the
housing market. The assessor’s estimated
residential market values increased on the
median valued home approximately 2.5 percent
for 2017. Assessor values for 2018 and 2019
accelerate this positive trend.
Increase (Decline) in Median Value Home:
2013 (5.8%)
2014 3.5%
2015 8.1%
2016 5.0%
2017 2.5%
2018 6.2%
2019 (Preliminary) 9.3%
The population of the City has increased from 585 in 1960 to 49,084 according to the 2010 U.S. Census
and is estimated at 52,361 for 2017. Most of the population of the City concentrates in two age groups:
45–54 years and 5–14 years at 17.0 percent and 14.2 percent, respectively. According to the 2010 U.S.
Census, the average age is 32 years and the median household income was $78,028. The most recent
estimate of the median household income from the American Community Survey is $83,450 for 2016.
The City is the home to Uponor and Wings Financial Federal Credit Union. Other major employers in the
area include Independent School District (ISD) No. 196, Target, Wal-Mart, Minnesota Zoo, Augustana
Health Care Center, Cub Foods, and Menard’s.
Market Value Growth
The City consistently adds new tax base each
year. In 2017, a total of $81 million of market
value was added to the City’s tax base, which
current data indicates is continuing. Total
market value increased to $4.7 billion for 2017,
resulting from improved market conditions.
Conditions continue to improve for the future
with preliminary County Assessor data for
payable 2019 showing a 10.5 percent increase
to a total city-wide taxable market value of
$5.6 billion, of which $96 million and
$136 million results from new construction for
payable 2018 and 2019, respectively.
-vii-
Major Initiatives
In 2017, investment continued in the City as new businesses opened and new developments were
approved. What follows is a sample of some of the development projects that were reviewed, approved,
began construction, or were completed in 2017, as well as some of the long-range planning and economic
development initiatives that will help maintain the City’s high quality of life.
Residential Development
Over the past 10 years, single-family
construction has averaged 80 units per year, and
2017 saw 167 single-family units constructed,
valued at over $41 million. Recent multi-family
construction shows strong activity for 2017 with
580 apartment units permitted. The Presbyterian
Homes Orchard Path senior cooperative
building was completed in 2017 adding
195 units. Construction continues in 2018 on
the Valley Bluffs senior apartment complex
totaling 163 units. Additional apartment
construction continues with the second phase of
the Remington Cove 95-unit apartment
complex, along with an additional 134 units in
the second phase of the Parkside Village.
While the construction of new single-family
homes has increased for 2017, the valuation
added by remodeling and renovations is being
maintained at a high level, valued at over
$16.7 million. This reflects homeowners’
continued interest in investing in their
properties.
Commercial Development
Commercial and industrial development
continued to improve in 2017 with total
improvement values, including commercial
alterations, totaling $59 million in 2017.
Included in these improvements was $35 million
of alterations throughout Independent School
District No. 196.
New commercial construction projects included
the 10,200 square foot Cobblestone Lake
Medical Center and the 5,500 square foot
Giselles Corner retail building at 147th and
Cedar Avenue.
-viii-
Upcoming Initiatives include:
Mixed-Use Business Campus:
In 2018, approximately 350 acres of mixed business campus will begin to be master planned with some
mixed uses proposed to begin development in the area currently being actively mined for aggregate.
Significant public infrastructure improvements including roads, trails, ponding, and park improvements,
will be part of the plan and coincide with private development.
Menard’s Hanson Development Site:
The 50-acre site known as Menard’s/Hanson will have proposed mixed business land uses (retail, office,
industrial) considered.
Water Meter Replacement Program:
The City has engaged a consulting group to develop a water meter replacement program plan. Many
water meters in the City have been in service for more than 25 years. The accuracy of water meters tends
to diminish as they get older. The City’s Capital Improvement Program includes a two (2) year schedule
for completing the water meter replacement project and will be funded within the Water Utility Fund.
Infrastructure Improvements
The City is committed to maintaining its significant investment in the community’s infrastructure with the
implementation of an aggressive street maintenance program in 2012. In 2017, over $5 million was
invested to maintain the infrastructure and included the following significant projects:
• Reconstruction of streets in the Palomino 3rd and 4th subdivisions.
• Extension of Embry Path to connect with CR 42.
• Additional resurfacing of streets throughout the community.
Long-Term Financial Planning
In developing the annual budget, the City follows five core fiscal principles. These include:
• Focus on the provision of basic city services and fund their provision at adequate levels.
• Estimate anticipated revenues at realistic levels.
• Retain adequate reserves to protect against fiscal uncertainty.
• Anticipate continued community growth and program capital improvements to serve our growing
community.
• Demonstrate strong stewardship of existing infrastructure and plan for its repair/replacement in a
proactive manner.
Each year the City adopts a five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP is a five-year plan
that identifies the City’s infrastructure, development objectives , and the allocation of resources for these
projects. This CIP provides policy makers and the community with a strategic approach to
implementation and administration of improvement projects. The 2018–2022 CIP identifies $135 million
of capital projects along with the associated funding. The five-year CIP also includes five-year revenue
and expenditure projections for the majority of funds identified in the document.
One of the larger improvements included in the 2018–2022 CIP includes the continued street and utility
reconstruction and reconditioning program which totals $62 million over the next five years.
Relevant Financial Policies
The City utilizes various financial and budget policies to guide the City Council and staff when making
financial decisions. These include adoption of a balanced budget, minimizing the reliance on state
revenues which have proven to be unpredictable, setting of 50 percent of subsequent year’s budgeted
expenditures minimum fund balance level to provide for cash flow purposes, and adoption of a five-year
capital improvement plan to provide for capital asset acquisition and replacement.
-ix-
Cash temporarily idle during the year was invested in U.S. government agency obligations, municipal
securities, certificates of deposit, and money market instruments. The City’s investment policy calls for
the investment of public funds in a manner that will provide the highest investment return with minimum
risk while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City. For investments held at December 31, 2017,
the effective duration of the investment portfolio was two years. The City’s average return on investments
in 2017 was 1.01 percent.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded the City
a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Apple Valley for its
CAFR for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. This is the sixth year that the City achieved this
prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an
easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy
both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current CAFR
continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and we are submitting it to the
GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The preparation of this report could not occur without the efficient and dedicated service of the entire
finance department staff throughout the reporting year. We would like to express our appreciation to all
members of the department who assisted and contributed to the preparation of this report. We would like
to thank the City Council for its commitment in planning and implementing the financial operations of the
City in a fiscally prudent and progressive manner.
Respectfully Submitted,
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY, MINNESOTA

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the City Council and Management
City of Apple Valley, Minnesota
REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Apple Valley,
Minnesota (the City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the
table of contents.
MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit . We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts a nd disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error .
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City’s preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion o n the effectiveness of the City’s
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.

OPINIONS
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to on the previous page 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, 2017, and the
respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, and the budgetary
comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
OTHER MATTERS
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis and the required supplementary information (RSI), as listed in the table of
contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part
of the basic financial statements, is required by the 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 RSI in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the
information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements,
and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us
with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, supplementary information, and
statistical section, as listed in the table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and
are not required parts of the basic financial statements.
The supplementary information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements.
Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to
the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America . In our opinion, the supplementary
information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on them.

compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements, and other matters.
The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness
of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance . That report is an integral part of
an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal
control over financial reporting and compliance.

CITY OF APPLE VALLEY
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Year Ended December 31, 2017
-4-
As management of the City of Apple Valley, Minnesota (the City), we have provided readers of the City’s
financial statements with this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in
conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, located earlier
in this report.
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 by $249,719,273 (net position). Of
this amount, $39,682,988 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the City’s ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors; $15,543,033 is restricted for specific purposes (restricted net
position); and $194,493,252 represents the net investment in capital assets. The City’s total net
position increased by $4,391,062 during the year ended December 31, 2017, excluding the prior
period adjustment reported in the current year as discussed below.
• The City recorded a prior period adjustment in the current year related to the City’s inventory of
capitalized assets and the related useful lives. This change reduced beginning net position in the
government-wide financial statements by $25,853,175.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $50,825,446, a decrease of $12,536,778. Restricted fund balances
decreased from $27,079,147 to $13,431,367, a decrease of $13,647,780, which is the result of a
decrease in the G.O. Refunding Bonds of 2013 Fund and G.O. Park Bonds of 2015 Fund, due to
payments on refunded bonds in the current year.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the General Fund was
$16,351,616, or 49.3 percent, of total General Fund expenditures based on 2018 budgeted
expenditure levels, including transfers.
• The City’s long-term liabilities decreased by $33,833,415, or 41.5 percent, during the current
fiscal year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in net pension liability of
$16,336,775, as a result of the change in actuarial assumptions in the computation of the City’s
obligation under Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68. The
remainder of the decrease is due to payments on refunded debt and payments on the City’s
outstanding debt obligations per the agreed upon schedules. Please see further details of
long-term debt in Note 5 of the notes to basic financial statements.
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 include three components: 1) government -wide financial
statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to basic financial statements. This report also
contains other supplementary information in addition to 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.
-5-
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets, liabilities, and deferred
inflows/outflows 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).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally
supported by property taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from o ther
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, and parks and recreation. The business-type activities of the City include
municipal liquor, municipal golf course, sports arena, water and sewer, storm drainage, cemetery, and
street light utility.
The government-wide financial statements not only include the City itself (known as the primary
government), but also the Apple Valley Economic Development Authority (EDA). The EDA is legally
separate and is reported as if it were part of the primary government because it provides services
exclusively for the City. The EDA is reported as the Economic Development Debt Service Fund and the
EDA Operations Special Revenue Fund.
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 two categories: governmenta l funds and
proprietary funds.
Governmental Funds – Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on the 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 funds Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenue , 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 funds Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenue, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund
Balances for the General Fund, Closed Bond Issues Debt Service Fund, 2001/2008B Refunding
Improvement Bonds Debt Service Fund, Road Improvements Capital Projects Fund, and Future Capital
Projects Capital Projects Fund, 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 nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this
report.
-6-
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund, Road Improvements Capital Projects
Fund, Future Capital Projects Capital Projects Fund, Cable TV Special Revenue Fund, EDA Operations
Special Revenue Fund, Equipment Certificate Capital Projects Fund, and Cable Capital Equipment
Capital Projects Fund. A budgetary comparison statement or schedule has been provided for these funds
to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
Proprietary Funds – The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are
used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial
statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its municipal liquor, municipal golf course,
sports arena, water and sewer, storm drainage, cemetery, and street light utility operations. Internal
service funds are accounting devices used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s
various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its dental insurance, benefits/other
insurance, and vehicle and equipment replacement. Because these services predominantly benefit
governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been included within governmental activities
in the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial statements, only
in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the municipal
liquor, municipal golf course, sports arena, water and sewer, storm drainage, cemetery, and street light
utility operations, all of which are considered to be major funds of the City. Conversely, the internal
service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary funds financial
statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combin ing
statements elsewhere in this report.
Notes to Basic Financial Statements – The notes to basic financial statements provide additional
information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund
financial statements.
Other Information – In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report
also presents required supplementary information and the combining and individual fund statements and
schedules (presented as supplementary information) referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor
governmental funds and internal service funds, which are presented immediately following the basic
financial statements.
Further, a statistical section has been included as part of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR) to facilitate additional analysis, and is the third and final section of the report.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of the City’s financial position. In
the case of the City, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources by $249,719,273 at 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, equipment, distribution system, and infrastructure) less any related debt used to
acquire those assets 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 investments
in its capital assets are 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.

Governmental Activities
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 of $39,682,988
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.
There was an increase in net position in the governmental activities of $4,818,160, and a decrease in
business-type activities of $26,280,273, for a net total decrease of $21,462,113 in net position. This
change in net position reflects an increase of $4,391,062 from the current year operating results, while the
prior period adjustment mentioned earlier reduced net position by $25,853,175.
Both governmental activities and business-type activities experienced changes in deferred outflows of
resources, deferred inflows of resources, and long-term liabilities as a result of the City’s participation in
defined benefit pension plans. The City also experienced a decrease in current assets and long-term
liabilities, due to payments on refunded bonds in the current year.

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 currently available resources. Such information is useful in
assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful
measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $50,825,446, a decrease of $12,536,778 in comparison with the prior year.
The City has five major governmental funds: the General Fund, the Closed Bond Issues Debt Service
Fund, the 2001/2008B Refunding Improvement Bonds Debt Service Fund, the Road Improvements
Capital Projects Fund, and the Future Capital Projects Capital Projects Fund.
General Fund
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, total fund
balance of the General Fund was $17,336,413. As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be
useful to compare the unassigned fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance
represents 49.3 percent of subsequent year budget expenditures, including transfers.
Total fund balance for the City’s General Fund increased by $726,959 during 2017. Key factors in this
increase are as follows:
• The City adopted a balanced budget prior to the start of the current year.
• License and permit revenues were approximately $1,760,000 over budget and are an increase of
about $1,200,000 over the prior year, due to an increase in development activity within the City.
• Expenditures were approximately $1,500,000 under the 2017 budgeted amounts, due to position
vacancies and uncompleted 2017 capital purchases that were carried over into 2018.
• The total fund balance increase of $726,959 is after transferring $1,950,000 out of the General
Fund to the Future Capital Projects Capital Projects Fund in accordance with the City’s fund
balance policy.
Closed Bond Issues Fund – Debt Service Fund
The Closed Bond Issues Fund accumulates resources remaining from retired debt service f unds. The fund
balance at the end of 2017 is $9,440,666, which increased $597,101 from the prior year. The increase
results from the Closed Bond Issues Fund collecting $524,422 in special assessments on previously levied
assessments.
2001/2008B Refunding Improvement Bonds Fund – Debt Service Fund
The 2001/2008B Refunding Improvement Bonds Fund accounts for the debt service activity and special
assessment collections for bond retirement. The fund balance at the end of 201 7 is negative $2,846,426.
The fund balance increased $82,005 from the prior year, resulting from the special assessment collections
in the current year.
-14-
Road Improvements Fund – Capital Projects Fund
The Road Improvements Fund receives transfers from other funds. These resources are used to finance
street overlays and reconstruction projects per the City’s pavement management plan. The fund balance at
the end of 2017 is negative $5,174,280, which is an increase of $24,582 from the prior year.
Future Capital Projects Fund – Capital Projects Fund
The Future Capital Projects Fund accumulates resources according to the City Council’s adopted fund
balance policy. This policy calls for amounts in the General Fund that exceed a maximum level to be
transferred to the Future Capital Projects Fund. The fund balance at the end of 2017 is $15,353,401,
which is an increase of $677,633 from the prior year. A transfer from the General Fund was received in
2017 in the amount of $1,950,000 in accordance with the fund balance policy. A transfer out in the
amount of $1,295,900 was made in 2017 to replace the 2017 property tax levy for the 2012 Park
Refunding Bonds and to support capital activities.
Proprietary Funds – The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the
government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. The City has seven enterprise funds and three
internal service funds. The seven enterprise funds include: Municipal Liquor Fund, Municipal Golf
Course Fund, Sports Arena Fund, Water and Sewer Fund, Storm Drainage Fund, Cemetery Fund, and the
Street Light Utility Fund.
The total net position of all enterprise funds totals $110,535,661, $94,851,212, of which is capital assets,
net of related debt and in total, is a decrease of $26,268,679 from the prior year, mostly due to the prior
period adjustment reported in the current year related to changes in the depreciable lives used on
previously capitalized assets of the Water and Sewer and Storm Drainage Funds. The total unrestricted
net position for all proprietary funds for the year was $15,505,784, a decrease of $1,702,495.
Municipal Liquor Fund
The net position in the Municipal Liquor Fund increased $325,471 from current year operations. This
increase reflects continued positive operations of the City’s liquor stores after transferring $630,000 to the
General Fund in support of public safety and parks and recreation activities. The increase in the
Municipal Liquor Fund current year operations comes from maintaining gross profit margins.
Municipal Golf Course Fund
The Municipal Golf Course Fund operations posted a decrease in net position from current year
operations of $364,084.
Sports Arena Fund
The Sports Arena Fund posted an increase in net position from current year operations of $56,342, which
is after inclusion of an annual $121,000 property tax levy.
Water and Sewer Fund
The Water and Sewer Fund is the City’s largest proprietary fund . Unrestricted net position at the end of
the year amounted to $11,946,924, a decrease of $1,661,329. Current year operations posted a $526,162
decrease in net position, resulting from a $600,000 transfer to the Road Improvements Capital Projects
Fund. Total net investment in capital assets totals $57,880,536, a decrease of $15,411,809, mainly due to
the prior period adjustment as previously mentioned.
-15-
Storm Drainage Fund
The Storm Drainage Fund decreased its net position by $9,290,132. This is mainly due to the prior period
adjustment as previously mentioned.
Cemetery Fund
The Cemetery Fund increased its net position by $67,259, which results from additional lot sales during
the year.
Street Light Utility Fund
The Street Light Utility Fund increased its net position by $9,603 in the current year.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The most significant amendment to the 2017 General Fund budget was made to provide for projects that
were carried over from 2016 to 2017.
During the year, the total revenues exceeded the final amended budgetary estimates by $1,805,398, which
can be attributed to licensing and permits exceeding the budget by $1,759,679, due to increased
development activity in the current year.
Total actual expenditures were $1,541,986 less than the budgetary estimates. General Fund budget
performance can be attributed to curtailing spending where possible, position vacancies during the year,
and conservative budgeting practices. Personal services in the General Fund ended t he year about
$671,000 under budget. In addition, actual capital outlay expenditures were approximately $320,000 less
than anticipated for 2017.
-16-
CAPITAL ASSETS AND LONG-TERM DEBT
Capital Assets – The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities
as of December 31, 2017 amounts to $219,746,354 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in
capital assets includes land and land improvements, construction in progress, buildings, other
improvements, furniture and equipment, and infrastructure. The total decrease in the City’s investment in
capital assets for the current fiscal year was $22,086,848, or approximately 9.1 percent, mainly due to the
prior period adjustment related to capital asset activity and depreciable lives. Total depreciation charged
in 2017 was $10,780,672.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND RATES
The City’s budget, along with the 5-year Capital Improvement Plan, is an important part of the City’s
public process. The combination of these documents provides the framework that allows the City to
address needed maintenance and provide for the growth and demands for service. Through innovation and
efficiencies, the City continues to provide quality services that meet or exceed the expectations of our
community members. Strong financial stewardship and quality customer service is a hallmark of the
City’s government and is evidenced by the City’s AAA bond rating.
Departments successfully managed their expenditures and as a result General Fund expenditures were
approximately 5 percent below the authorized budget. The City experienced growth in licenses and
permits, due to a surge in single and multi-family development activity, which began in 2014 and is
anticipated to last beyond 2018. The City will continue to make significant ongoing investments in the
Street and Utility Infrastructure Preservation and Reconstruction Program.
These factors were considered in preparing the City’s budget for the 2018 fiscal year:
• Property taxes provide the largest source, approximately 73.0 percent, of the resources needed to
support the General Fund activities. Minnesota cities are not subject to levy limits for 2018.
• Property values in the City are increasing as they are in other locations. The increase in the
median valued residential property for the 2018 budget year will be approximately 6.4 percent,
compared to an increase of 2.5 percent for the 2017 budget year. The preliminary county data for
2018 shows a 9.3 percent increase in the median valued home.
• The total property tax levy increased 3.8 percent for 2018.
• The taxes paid by the median valued home increased for 2018 to $988 from $966 in 2017,
approximately 1.8 percent.
• Contract settlements with all of the City’s three unions have been reached through 2019.
• A 5.0 percent increase in water utility rates was enacted for 2018 to fund the portion of the Street
and Utility Infrastructure Preservation Program related to the water utility and the water meter
replacement program. Utility rates for the sewer, storm water, and street light utilities each also
increased by 5.0 percent for 2018.

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Organization
The City of Apple Valley, Minnesota (the City) is a statutory city governed by an elected mayor and four
councilmembers. The accompanying financial statements present the government entities for which the
City is considered to be financially accountable.
The accounting policies of the City conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America as applicable to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and
financial reporting principles.
B. Reporting Entity
As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial
statements include the City (the primary government) and its component units. Component units are
legally separate entities for which the primary government is financially accountable, or for which the
exclusion of the component unit would render the financial statements of the primary government
misleading. The criteria used to determine if the primary government is financially accountable for a
component unit includes whether or not the primary government appoints the voting majority of the
potential component unit’s board, is able to impose its will on the potential component unit, is in a
relationship of financial benefit or burden with the potential component unit, or is fiscally depended upon
by the potential component unit.
The Apple Valley Economic Development Authority (EDA) was established to provide economic
development services to the City. Although a legally separate entity, the Apple Valley EDA is reported as
if it were part of the primary government because it provides services exclusively for the City. The Apple
Valley EDA governing body is substantially the same as the governing body of the primary government
because five of the Apple Valley EDA boardmembers are City Council members and the two other
members are appointed by the City Council. Management of the primary government also has operational
responsibility for the Apple Valley EDA. The Apple Valley EDA is a blended component unit of the City,
with the following funds reported as funds of the City: Economic Development Debt Service Fund and
the EDA Operations Special Revenue Fund. The Apple Valley EDA does not issue separate financial
statements.
C. Government-Wide Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements (Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities)
display information about the reporting government as a whole. These statements include all of the
financial activities of the City. Governmental activities, which are normally supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which significantly rely
upon sales, fees, and charges for support.
-38-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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, services, or privileges provided by a given function or
segment, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capi tal grants and contributions, including special
assessments that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function
or segment. Taxes and other internally directed revenues are reported as general revenues.
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when
a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes and special
assessments are recognized as revenues in the fiscal year for which they are certified for levy. Grants and
similar items are recognized when all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government -wide financial
statements. However, charges between the City’s enterprise funds and other functions are not eliminated,
as that would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported in those functions. Depreciation
expense is included in the direct expenses of each function. Interest on long-term debt is considered an
indirect expense and is reported separately on the Statement of Activities.
D. Fund Financial Statement Presentation
Separate fund financial statements are provided for governmental and proprietary funds. Major individual
governmental and enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
Aggregated information for the remaining nonmajor governmental funds is reported in a single column in
the fund financial statements.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis of accounting, transactions are
recorded in the following manner:
1. Revenue Recognition – Revenue is recognized when it becomes measurable and available.
“Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be determined and “available” means
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the
current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are coll ected
within 60 days after year-end. 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.
Grants and similar items are recognized when all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider
have been met. Proceeds of long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as
other financing sources.
Major revenue that is susceptible to accrual includes property taxes, special assessments,
intergovernmental revenue, charges for services, and interest earned on investments. Major
revenue that is not susceptible to accrual includes licenses and per mits, fees, and miscellaneous
revenue. Such revenue is recorded only when received because it is not measurable until
collected.
2. Recording of Expenditures – Expenditures are generally recorded when a liability is incurred,
except for principal and interest on long-term debt and other long-term liabilities, which are
recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. Capital asset acquisitions are
reported as capital outlay expenditures in the governmental funds.
-39-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and
accrual basis of accounting, similar to the government-wide financial statements. Proprietary funds
distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses
generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a
proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s enterprise
funds and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services . The operating expenses
for the enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative
expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses that do not meet this definition
are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Aggregated information for the internal service funds is reported in a single column in the proprietary
fund financial statements. Because the principal user of the internal services is the City’s governmental
activities, the financial statements of the internal service funds are consolidated into the governmental
column when presented in the government-wide financial statements. The cost of these services is
reported in the appropriate functional activity.
Description of Funds
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund (1000) – This fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Closed Bond Issues Debt Service Fund (3205) – This fund accounts for all the closed bond issues
that still have activity.
2001/2008B Refunding Improvement Bonds Debt Service Fund (3285) – This fund accounts for
the payment of the bond issuance for various improvements.
Road Improvements Capital Projects Fund (2025) – This fund accounts for various road
improvements.
Future Capital Projects Capital Projects Fund (4930) – This fund accounts for funds set aside for
future capital improvements.
The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
Municipal Liquor Fund (5000 and 5030) – This fund accounts for the operations of the City’s
liquor stores.
Municipal Golf Course Fund (5100) – This fund accounts for the operations of the City’s golf
course.
Sports Arena Fund (5200) – This fund accounts for the operations of the City’s sports arena.
Water and Sewer Fund (5300 and 5400) – This fund accounts for the activities of the City’s water
and sewer operations.
-40-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Storm Drainage Fund (5500 and 5550) – This fund accounts for the activities of the City’s storm
drainage operations.
Cemetery Fund (5600 and 5700) – This fund accounts for the activities of the City’s cemetery
operations.
Street Light Utility Fund (5800) – This fund accounts for the activities of the City’s street light
operations.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds – Internal service funds account for the financing of goods and services
provided to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost reimbursement basis. The City utilizes
a Dental Insurance Internal Service Fund, Benefits/Other Insurance Internal Service Fund, and a
Vehicle Equipment Replacement Internal Service Fund in managing city operations.
E. Cash and Investments
Cash and investments include balances from all funds that are combined and invested to the extent
available in various securities as authorized by state law. Earnings from the pooled investments are
allocated to the respective funds on the basis of applicable cash balance participation by each fund. The
City generally reports investments at fair value. Investment pools/mutual funds and certificates of deposit
with a maturity of less than one year are reported at amortized cost.
Restricted cash with fiscal agent in the Municipal Liquor Fund includes balances held in an account in
accordance with debt agreements to subsidize potential deficiencies from the liquor store operations that
could adversely affect debt service payments.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The hierarchy is based on the valuation
inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; and Level 3 inputs are significant
unobservable inputs.
Debt securities classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using a matrix pricing
technique. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on the securities’ relationship to benchmark
quoted prices.
See Note 2 for the City’s recurring fair value measurements as of year-end.
F. Receivables
Utility and miscellaneous accounts receivable are reported at gross. Since the City is generally able to
certify delinquent amounts to the county for collection as special assessments, no allowance for
uncollectible accounts has been provided on current receivables. The only receivables not expected to be
collected within one year are property taxes and special assessments receivable.
-41-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
G. Interfund Receivables and Payables
In the fund financial statements, activity between funds that is representative of lending or borrowing
arrangements is reported as either “due to/from other funds” (current portion) or “advances to/from other
funds.” 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.”
H. Land Held for Resale
Land held for resale represents various property purchases made by the City with the intent to sell in order
to increase tax base or to attract new businesses. These assets are stated at the lower of cost or acquisition
value. During the year ended December 31, 2017, management has reviewed the cost value reported for
these assets and has indicated the properties are fairly presented for financial reporting purposes.
I. Property Taxes
Property tax levies are set by the City Council in December of each year, and are certified to Dakota
County for collection in the following year. In Minnesota, counties act as collection agents for all
property taxes. The county spreads the levies over all taxable property. Such taxes become a lien on
January 1 and are recorded as receivables by the City on that date. Real property taxes may be paid by
taxpayers in two equal installments on May 15 and October 15. Personal property taxes are due in full on
May 15. The county provides tax settlements to cities and other taxing districts three times a year; in July,
December, and January.
Property taxes are recognized as revenue in the year levied in the government -wide financial statements
and proprietary fund financial statements. In the governmental fund financial statements, taxes are
recognized as revenue when received in cash or within 60 days after year-end. Taxes which remain
unpaid on December 31 are classified as delinquent taxes receivable, and are offset by a deferred inflow
of resources in the governmental fund financial statements.
J. Special Assessments
Special assessments represent the financing for public improvements paid for by benefiting property
owners. Special assessments are recorded as receivables upon certification to the county. Special
assessments are recognized as revenue in the year levied in the government -wide financial statements and
proprietary fund financial statements. In the governmental fund financial statements, special assessments
are recognized as revenue when received in cash or within 60 days after year -end. Governmental fund
special assessments receivable which remain unpaid on December 31 are offset by a deferred inflow of
resources in the governmental fund financial statements.
K. Prepaids
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as
prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. Prepaid items are reported
using the consumption method and recorded as expenditures/expenses at the time of consumption.
-42-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
L. Inventories
The inventories for the Municipal Golf and Municipal Liquor Funds use the average cost valuation
method. Inventories of the remaining governmental and proprietary funds are valued at cost using the
first-in, first-out valuation method. Inventories are recorded as expenditures or expenses when consumed.
M. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land, land improvements, buildings, other improvements, furniture and
equipment, and infrastructure assets (roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items) are reported in the
applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements.
Such assets are capitalized at historical cost, or estimated historical cost for assets where actual historical
cost is not available. Donated assets are recorded as capital assets at their estimated acquisition value on
the date of donation. The City defines capital assets as those with an initial, individual cost of $5,000 or
more with an estimated useful life in excess of two years. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that
do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Capital assets are recorded in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, but are not
reported in the governmental fund financial statements. Interest incurred during the construction phase of
capital assets for business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets
constructed. Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
Land and construction in progress are not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Assets Years
Buildings 7–40
Improvements other than buildings 5–40
Furniture and equipment 3–50
Infrastructure 25–50
N. Compensated Absences
Full-time employees employed by the City after January 1, 1995 are eligible for three to six weeks of
annual leave depending on their length of service with the City. Annual leave may not accrue in excess of
800 hours. Upon termination of employment with the City, employees in “good standing” are reimbursed
for all accrued and unused annual leave. Employees employed by the City prior to January 1, 1995 were
eligible to elect to continue earning sick leave and vacation in lieu of the annual leave option. Those
employees who elected not to take the annual leave provisions continue to be eligible to earn 12 days of
sick leave and two to four weeks of vacation per year, depending on their length of service with the City.
Sick leave may carry forward indefinitely. Upon termination of employment in “good standing,”
employees with more than 10 years of continuous service shall be paid up to one-third of their accrued
and unused sick leave. The maximum amount of vacation that may be accumulated is twice the amount
earned in any one year. Upon termination of employment, “good standing” employees shall be paid for
their accrued and unused vacation leave. Compensated absences are accrued in governmental fund
financial statements only when used or matured prior to year-end, due to employee termination or similar
circumstances. Vacation and sick benefits are recorded as expenses and liabilities in proprietary funds
when earned. Compensated absences payable in the government-wide Statement of Net Position and the
Statement of Net Position – Proprietary Funds include all leave balances accrued, but not yet used by
employees, whether or not the employees have terminated employment with the City.
-43-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
O. Long-Term Liabilities
In the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term
obligations are reported as liabilities. Bond premiums and discounts, if material, are deferred and
amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bond issuance costs are expensed in
the period incurred.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize 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 expenditures.
P. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets and liabilities, statements of financial position or balance sheets will sometimes
report separate sections for deferred outflows or inflows of resources. These separate financial statement
elements represent a consumption or acquisition of net position that applies to a future period, and so will
not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure), or an inflow of financial resources
(revenue) until then.
The City reports deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions in the government -wide
and enterprise funds Statement of Net Position. These deferred outflows and inflows result from
differences between expected and actual experience, changes in proportion, changes of assumptions,
differences between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments, and contributions to the
plan subsequent to the measurement date and before the end of the reporting period. These amounts are
deferred and amortized as required under pension standards.
Unavailable revenue, arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting and, therefore, is only
reported in the governmental funds Balance Sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenue
from two sources: property taxes and special assessments. These amounts are deferred and recognized as
an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
Q. Pension Plans
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 the PERA’s fiduciary net position have been
determined on the same basis as they are reported by the PERA, except that the 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.
-44-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The PERA has a special funding situation created by a direct aid contribution made by the state of
Minnesota. The direct aid is a result of the merger of the Minneapolis Employees Retirement Fund into
the PERA on January 1, 2015.
R. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:
1. In August of each year, city staff submits to the City Council, a proposed operating budget for the
year commencing the following January 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures
and the means of financing them for the upcoming year.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. The budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution by the City Council.
4. Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
5. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level. No fund’s budget
can be increased without City Council approval. The City Council may authorize transfers of
budgeted amounts between departments within any fund. Management may amend budgets
within a department level, so long as the total department budget is not changed.
6. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted during the year for the General Fund, Cable TV Special
Revenue Fund, and EDA Operations Special Revenue Fund. Annual appropriated budgets are not
adopted for debt service funds because effective budgetary control is alternatively achieved
through bond indenture provisions. Budgetary control for capital projects funds is accomplished
through the use of project controls and formal appropriated budgets are not adopted for most
capital projects funds. In 2017, the City also adopted formal annual appropriated budgets for the
Road Improvements Capital Projects, Future Capital Projects, Equipment Certificate Capital
Projects, and Cable Capital Equipment Capital Projects Funds.
7. The finance director/treasurer presents monthly reports to the City Council.
8. Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted or as amended by the City Council. Budgeted
expenditures lapse at year-end.
S. Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the City considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an
original maturity from the time of purchase by the City of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The
proprietary fund’s portion in the government-wide cash and investment management pool is considered to
be cash equivalent.
-45-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
T. Net Position and Flow Assumptions
In the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, net position represents the difference
between assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources. Net position
is displayed in three components:
• Net Investment in Capital Assets – Consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation,
reduced by any outstanding debt attributable to acquire capital assets.
• Restricted Net Position – Consists of net position restricted when there are limitations imposed
on its use through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of
other governments.
• Unrestricted Net Position – All other elements of net position that do not meet the definition of
“restricted” or “net investment in capital assets.”
The City applies restricted resources first when an expense is incurred for which both restricted and
unrestricted resources are available.
U. Fund Balance Classifications and Flow Assumptions
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance in classifications that disclose
constraints for which amounts in those funds can be spent. These classifications are as follows:
• Nonspendable – Consists of amounts that are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items,
inventory, and other long-term assets.
• Restricted – Consists of amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by
creditors, grantors, or contributors; or constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
• Committed – Consists of internally imposed constraints that are established by resolution of the
City Council. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the
City Council removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action it employed
to previously commit those amounts.
• Assigned – Consists of internally imposed constraints. These constraints consist of amounts
intended to be used by the City for specific purposes, but do not meet the criteria to be classified
as restricted or committed. In governmental funds, assigned amounts represent intended uses
established by the governing body itself or by an official to which the governing body delegates
the authority. Pursuant to City Council resolution, the city administrator and/or the finance
director/treasurer are authorized to establish assignments of fund balance.
• Unassigned – The residual classification for the General Fund which also reflects negative
residual amounts in other funds.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to first use
restricted resources, then use unrestricted resources as they are needed. When committed, assigned, or
unassigned resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use resources in the following
order: 1) committed, 2) assigned, and 3) unassigned.
-46-
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
V. 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; and natural disasters. The City participates in the League of Minnesota Cities
Insurance Trust (LMCIT), a public entity risk pool for its general property and casualty, workers ’
compensation, and other miscellaneous insurance coverage. The LMCIT operates as a common risk
management and insurance program for a large number of cities in Minnesota. The City pays an annual
premium to the LMCIT for insurance coverage. The LMCIT agreement provides that the trust will be
self-sustaining through member premiums and will reinsure through commercial companies for claims in
excess of certain limits. The City also carries commercial insurance for certain other risks of loss . Settled
claims resulting from these risks did not exceed insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.
There were no significant reductions in insurance coverage in 2017.
The City uses its Dental Insurance Internal Service Fund to account for and finance its self-insured risk of
loss for an employee dental plan. The dental plan is funded by the City, employee contributions, and
investment earnings. The claims liability of $6,786 is included in the liabilities of the Dental Insurance
Internal Service Fund at December 31, 2017, and is based on the requirement that a liability for claims be
reported if information prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probabl e that a
liability has been incurred on the date of the financial statements and the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Changes in the fund’s claim liability for the past two years were:
Claims
Beginning and Changes Claim Ending
Balance in Estimates Payments Balance
2016 6,767$ 203,790$ 202,997$ 7,560$
2017 7,560$ 207,642$ 208,416$ 6,786$
W. Restricted Assets
Restricted assets are cash, investments, and interest accrued thereon; the use of which is limited by
external requirements such as a bond indenture.
X. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Y. Prior Period Adjustment
A prior period adjustment, reducing equity by $16,546,976 and $9,306,199, was recorded in the Water
and Sewer Fund and Storm Drainage Fund, respectively, in the proprietary fund statements, which is part
of business-type activities on the government-wide statements. This change was related to the City’s
inventory of capitalized assets and the related useful lives.
-47-
NOTE 2 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS
A. Components of Cash and Investments
Cash and investments at year-end consist of the following:
Deposits 3,928,086$
Investments 63,797,822
Petty cash 18,100
Total 67,744,008$
Cash and investments are presented in the financial statements as follows:
Statement of Net Position
Cash and investments 67,565,343$
Restricted assets
Cash and investments for debt service 178,665
Total 67,744,008$
B. Deposits
In accordance with applicable Minnesota Statutes, the City maintains deposits at depository banks
authorized by the City Council, including checking accounts and certificates of deposit.
The following is considered the most significant risk associated with deposits:
Custodial Credit Risk – In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the
City’s deposits may be lost.
Minnesota Statutes require that all deposits be protected by federal deposit insurance, corporate surety
bond, or collateral. The market value of collateral pledged must equal 110 percent of the deposits not
covered by federal deposit insurance or corporate surety bonds. Authorized collateral includes
treasury bills, notes, and bonds; issues of U.S. government agencies; general obligations rated “A” or
better; revenue obligations rated “AA” or better; irrevocable standard letters of credit issued by the
Federal Home Loan Bank; and certificates of deposit. Minnesota Statutes require that securities
pledged as collateral be held in safekeeping in a restricted account at the Federal Reserve Bank or in
an account at a trust department of a commercial bank or other financial institution that is not owned
or controlled by the financial institution furnishing the collateral. The City has no additional deposit
policies addressing custodial credit risk.
At year-end, the carrying amount of the City’s deposits was $3,928,086, while the balance on the
bank records was $4,302,673. At December 31, 2017, all deposits were fully covered by federal
depository insurance, surety bonds, or by collateral held by the City’s agent in the City’s name.

Credit Risk Maturity Duration in Years
Interest Risk –
Investments are subject to various risks, the following of which are considered the most significant:
Custodial Credit Risk – For investments, this is the risk that in the event of a failure of the
counterparty to an investment transaction (typically a broker-dealer), the City would not be able to
recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside
party. The City’s investment policy states that the City may not invest in securities that are both
uninsured and not registered in the name of the City and are held by either the counterparty or the
counterparty’s trust department or agent, but not in the name of the City.
Credit Risk – This is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its
obligations. Minnesota Statutes limit the City’s investments to direct obligations or obligations
guaranteed by the United States or its agencies; shares of investment companies registered under the
Federal Investment Company Act of 1940 that receive the highest credit rating, are rated in one of the
two highest rating categories by a statistical rating agency, and all of the investments have a final
maturity of 13 months or less; general obligations rated “A” or better; revenue obligations rated “AA”
or better; general obligations of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency rated “A” or better; bankers’
acceptances of United States banks eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System; commercial
paper issued by United States corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries, rated of the highest quality
category by at least two nationally recognized rating agencies, and maturing in 270 days or less;
Guaranteed Investment Contracts guaranteed by a United States commercial bank, domestic branch of
a foreign bank, or a United States insurance company, and with a credit quality in one of the top two
highest categories; repurchase or reverse purchase agreements and securities lending agreements with
financial institutions qualified as a “depository” by the government entity, wit h banks that are
members of the Federal Reserve System with capitalization exceeding $10,000,000; that are a
primary reporting dealer in U.S. government securities to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; or
certain Minnesota securities broker-dealers. The City’s investment policy addresses credit risk by
limiting investments to the safest type of securities and using prequalifying brokers/financial
institutions.
-49-
NOTE 2 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
Concentration Risk – This is the risk associated with investing a significant portion of the City’s
investment (considered 5.0 percent or more) in the securities of a single issuer, excluding
U.S. guaranteed investments (such as treasuries), investment pools, and mutual funds. The City’s
investment policy states no more than 5.0 percent of the overall portfolio may be invested in the
securities of a single issuer, except for the securities of the U.S. government or an external investment
pool. As of December 31, 2017, the City’s investment portfolio includes the Federal National
Mortgage Association at 5.3 percent and Federal Home Loan Bank at 9.2 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 the period for which an interest rate is fixed, the
greater the risk). The City’s investment policy does include specific limits on investment maturities as
a means of managing its exposure to fair value arising from i ncreasing interest rates. It also states
investments should not be purchased that are considered to be highly sensitive to interest rate
changes.
NOTE 3 – INTERFUND RECEIVABLES, PAYABLES, AND TRANSFERS
A. Due To and Due From Other Funds
Interfund receivables and payables at year-end were as follows:
Closed Bond Future Capital

D. Description of Long-Term Debt
• General Obligation Bonds and General Obligation Improvement Bonds – The City issues
general obligation (G.O.) bonds to provide financing for street, utility, park, and cemetery project
improvements. The City issues G.O. equipment certificates to provide financing for capital
equipment. Debt service is covered respectively by special assessments, state aids, general
property taxes, and tax increments. G.O. bonds and equipment certificates are direct obligations
and pledge the full faith and credit of the City. Equipment certificates are issued as five-year
notes with fluctuating debt service payments each year.
In April 2013, the City issued $9,000,000 of G.O. Crossover Refunding Bonds, Series 2013A.
The proceeds of this issue and interest earned thereon were used to refund the 2023 through 2032
maturities of the City’s G.O. Park Bonds, Series 2007A, totaling $4,150,000, on their December
15, 2017 call date and the 2023 through 2032 maturities of the City’s G.O. Park Bonds, Series
2008D, totaling $4,225,000, on their December 15, 2017 call date. Until the call date, the City
made all debt service payments on the 2007A and 2008D issues, and all debt service on the
2013A issue were paid from the refunding escrow account. This “crossover refunding” reduced
the City’s total future debt service payments by $1,031,660 and resulted in a present value
savings of $1,047,760.
In May 2015, the City issued $5,860,000 of G.O. Bonds, Series 2015B. The proceeds of this issue
and interest earned thereon were used to refund the 2018 through 2022 maturities of the City’s
G.O. Park Bonds, Series 2007A, totaling $1,155,000, on their December 15, 2017 call date, the
2018 through 2023 maturities of the City’s G.O. Park Bonds, Series 2008D, totaling $1,320,000,
on their December 15, 2017 call date, and the 2018 through 2032 maturities of the City’s
G.O. Park Bonds, Series 2011A and G.O. Storm Water Bonds, Series 2011A, totaling
$2,650,000, on their December 15, 2017 call date. Until the call date, the City made all debt
service payments on the 2007A, 2008D, and 2011A issues, and all debt service on the 2015B
issue were paid from the refunding escrow account. This “crossover refunding” reduced the
City’s total future debt service payments by $216,551 and resulted in a present value savings of
$231,938.
• General Obligation Revenue Bonds and Revenue Bonds – The City issues revenue bonds to
provide financing for its enterprise funds. The City issued revenue bonds for the liquor store and

F. Arbitrage Rebate
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 requires governmental entities to pay to the federal government income
earned on the proceeds from the issuance of debt in excess of interest costs, pending the expenditure of
the borrowed funds. This rebate of interest income (known as arbitrage) applies to governmental debt
issued after August 31, 1986. In the opinion of management, any obligation would be immaterial.
G. Conduit Debt Obligations
At times, the City has issued various types of revenue bonds to provide financial assistance to private
sector, nonprofit, or governmental entities to finance the acquisition or construction of 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 . Neither the City, nor
any political subdivision thereof, is obligated in any manner for repayment of the bonds. Accordingly, the
bonds are not reported as liabilities in the City’s financial statements. As of December 31, 2017, the

firefighters belonging to local relief associations that elected to merge with and transfer assets and
administration to the PERA.
B. Benefits Provided
The PERA provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are established by state
statutes and can only be modified by the State Legislature.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. Increases are related to the fundin g ratio
of the plan. Members in plans that are at least 90.0 percent funded for two consecutive years are given
2.5 percent increases. Members in plans that have not exceeded 90.0 percent funded, or have fallen below
80.0 percent, are given 1.0 percent increases.
The benefit provisions stated in the following paragraphs of this section are current provisions and apply
to active plan participants. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits, but are not
receiving them yet, are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their public
service.
1. GERF Benefits
Benefits are based on a member’s highest average salary for any five successive years of
allowable service, age, and years of credit at termination of service. Two methods are used to
compute benefits for the PERA’s Coordinated and Basic Plan members. The retiring member
receives the higher of a step-rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1) or a level accrual formula
(Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate for a Basic Plan member is 2.2 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 members hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full annuity is
available when age plus years of service equal 90 and normal retirement age is 65. For members
hired on or after July 1, 1989, normal retirement age is the age for unreduced Social Security
benefits capped at age 66.
-58-
NOTE 7 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS – STATE-WIDE (CONTINUED)
2. PEPFF Benefits
Benefits for the PEPFF members first hired after June 30, 2010 but before July 1, 2014, vest on a
prorated basis from 50 percent after five years, up to 100 percent after 10 years of credited
service. Benefits for the PEPFF members first hired after June 30, 2014 vest on a prorated basis
from 50 percent after 10 years, up to 100 percent after 20 years of credited service. The annuity
accrual rate is 3 percent of average salary for each year of service. For the PEPFF members who
were first hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service
equal at least 90.
C. Contributions
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. Contribution
rates can only be modified by the State Legislature.
1. GERF Contributions
Basic Plan members and Coordinated Plan members were required to contribute 9.10 percent and
6.50 percent, respectively, of their annual covered salary in calendar year 2017. The City was
required to contribute 11.78 percent of pay for Basic Plan members and 7.50 percent for
Coordinated Plan members in calendar year 2017. The City’s contributions to the GERF for the
year ended December 31, 2017 were $768,029. The City’s contributions were equal to the
required contributions as set by state statutes.
2. PEPFF Contributions
Plan members were required to contribute 10.80 percent of their annual covered salary in
calendar year 2017. The City was required to contribute 16.20 percent of pay for members in
calendar year 2017. The City’s contributions to the PEPFF for the year ended December 31, 2017
were $829,640. The City’s contributions were equal to the required contributions as set by state
statutes.
D. Pension Costs
1. GERF Pension Costs
At December 31, 2017, the City reported a liability of $10,488,804 for its proportionate share of
the GERF’s net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2017, 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 the PERA during the measurement period for employer payroll paid
dates from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, relative to the total employer contributions
received from all of the PERA’s participating employers. The City’s proportionate share was
0.1643 percent at the end of the measurement period and 0.1561 percent for the beginning of the
period.
-59-
NOTE 7 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS – STATE-WIDE (CONTINUED)
The City’s net pension liability reflected a reduction due to the state of Minnesota’s contribution
of $6 million to the fund. The state of Minnesota is considered a nonemployer contributing entity
and the state’s contribution meets the definition of a special funding situation. The amount
recognized by the City as its proportionate share of the net pension liability, the direct aid, and
total portion of the net pension liability that was associated with the City were as follows:
City’s proportionate share of net pension liability 10,488,804$
State’s proportionate share of the net pension liability
associated with the City 131,924$
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the City recognized pension expense of $1,380,121 for its
proportionate share of the GERF’s pension expense. In addition, the City recognized an
additional $3,810 as pension expense (and grant revenue) for its proportionate share of the state
of Minnesota’s contribution of $6 million to the GERF.
At December 31, 2017, the City reported its proportionate share of the GERF’s deferred outflows
of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

2. PEPFF Pension Costs
At December 31, 2017, the City reported a liability of $6,899,105 for its proportionate share of
the PEPFF’s net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2017 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 the PERA during the measurement period for employer payroll paid
dates from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, relative to the total employer contributions
received from all of the PERA’s participating employers. The City’s proportionate share was
0.5110 percent at the end of the measurement period and 0.5190 percent for the beginning of the
period.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the City recognized pension expense of $1,689,363 for its
proportionate share of the PEPFF’s pension expense. The City also recognized $45,990 for the
year ended December 31, 2017 as revenue and an offsetting reduction of net pension liability for
its proportionate share of the state of Minnesota’s on-behalf contributions to the PEPFF.
Legislation passed in 2013 required the state of Minnesota to begin contributing $9 million to the
PEPFF each year, starting in fiscal year 2014.
At December 31, 2017, the City reported its proportionate share of the PEPFF’s deferred outflows
of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

NOTE 7 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS – STATE-WIDE (CONTINUED)
E. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2017 actuarial valuation was determined using the following
actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.50% per year
Active member payroll growth 3.25% per year
Investment rate of return 7.50%
Salary increases were based on a service-related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees,
survivors, and disabilitants were based on RP-2014 tables for all plans for males or females, as
appropriate, with slight adjustments to fit the PERA’s experience. Cost of living benefit increases for
retirees are assumed to be 1.0 percent per year for the GERF through 2044, and the PEPFF through 2064,
and then 2.5 percent thereafter for both plans.
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2017 valuation were based on the results of actuarial
experience studies. The most recent four-year experience study in the GERF was completed in 2015. The
most recent five-year experience study for the PEPFF was completed in 2016.
The following changes in actuarial assumptions occurred in 2017:
1. GERF
• The Combined Service Annuity (CSA) loads were changed from 0.8 percent for active
members and 60.0 percent for vested and nonvested deferred members. The revised CSA
loads are now zero percent for active member liability, 15.0 percent for vested deferred
member liability, and 3.0 percent for nonvested 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.
2. PEPFF
• Assumed salary increases were changed as recommended in the June 30, 2016 experience
study. The net effect is proposed rates that average 0.34 percent lower than the previous rates.
• Assumed rates of retirement were changed, resulting in fewer retirements.
• The CSA load was 30.00 percent for vested and nonvested deferred members. The CSA has
been changed to 33.00 percent for vested members and 2.00 percent for nonvested members.
• The base mortality table for healthy annuitants was changed from the RP -2000 Fully
Generational Table to the RP-2014 Fully Generational Table (with a base year of 2006), with
male rates adjusted by a factor of 0.96. The mortality improvement scale was changed from
Scale AA to Scale MP-2016. The base mortality table for disabled annuitants was changed
from the RP-2000 Disabled Mortality Table to the mortality tables assumed for healthy
retirees.
• Assumed termination rates were decreased to 3.00 percent for the first three years of service.
Rates beyond the select period of three years were adjusted, resulting in more expected
terminations overall.
• Assumed percentage of married female members was decreased from 65.00 percent to
60.00 percent.
• Assumed age difference was changed from separate assumptions for male members (wives
assumed to be three years younger) and female members (husbands assumed to be four years
older) to the assumption that males are two years older than females.
-62-
NOTE 7 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS – STATE-WIDE (CONTINUED)
• The assumed percentage of female members electing joint and survivor annuities was
increased.
• The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.00 percent for all
years, to 1.00 percent per year through 2064, and 2.50 percent thereafter.
• The single discount rate changed from 5.60 percent to 7.50 percent.
The State Board of Investment, which manages the investments of the PERA, prepares an analysis o f the
reasonableness of the long-term expected rate of return on a regular basis using a building-block method
in which best-estimate ranges of expected future rates of return are developed for each major asset class.
These ranges are combined to produce an expected long-term rate of return by weighting the expected
future rates of return by the target asset allocation percentages. The target allocation and best estimates of
geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:
Asset Class
Domestic stocks 39 %5.10 %
International stocks 19 5.30 %
Bonds 20 0.75 %
Alternative assets 20 5.90 %
Cash 2 – %
Total 100 %
Target Long-Term Expected
Allocation Real Rate of Return
F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2017 was 7.50 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
positions of the GERF and the PEPFF 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
G. Pension Liability Sensitivity
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
1 percentage point lower or 1 percentage point higher than the current discount rate:

Detailed information about the GERF’s fiduciary net position is available in a separately issued PERA
financial report. That report may be obtained on the PERA website at www.mnpera.org; by writing to the
PERA at 60 Empire Drive, Suite 200, St. Paul, Minnesota 55103; or by calling (651) 296-7460 or
(800) 652-9026.
NOTE 8 – DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLAN – STATE-WIDE
Councilmembers of the City are covered by the Public Employees Defined Contribution Plan (PEDCP), a
multiple-employer deferred compensation plan administered by the PERA. The PEDCP is a tax qualified
plan under Section 401(a) of the IRC and all contributions by or on behalf of employees are tax deferred
until time of withdrawal.
Plan benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings, less
administrative expenses. Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353D.03, specifies plan provisions, including the
employee and employer contribution rates for those qualified personnel who elect to participate. An
eligible elected official who decides to participate contributes 5 percent of salary, which is matched by the
elected official’s employer. For ambulance service personnel, employer contributions are determined by
the employer, and for salaried employee contributions must be a fixed percentage of salary. 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, the PERA receives 2 percent of employer contributions and twenty-five hundredths of 1 percent
(0.0025) of the assets in each member’s account annually.
Total contributions made by the City for the fiscal year 2017 were:

NOTE 9 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN – FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION
A. Plan Description
All members of the Apple Valley Fire Department (the Department) are covered by a defined benefit plan
administered by the Apple Valley Firefighters’ Relief Association (the Association). As of the
measurement date, the plan covered 64 active members, 19 inactive members entitled to future benefits,
and 32 inactive members or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits. The plan is a single employer
retirement plan and is established and administered in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 69.
The Association maintains a separate Special Pension Trust 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.

(CONTINUED)
B. Benefits Provided
Each member who is at least 50 years of age, has separated from service from the fire department, has
served at least 5 years of active service for members commencing active duty prior to January 1, 2010,
and 10 years of active service for members commencing active duty after January 1, 2010 with such
department before separation and has been a member of the Association in good standing at least 5 years
prior to such separation shall be entitled to a lump sum service pension in the amount of $6,700 for each
year of service (including each year over 20) or a monthly service pension of $45 for each year of service
(including each year over 20) but not exceeding the maximum amount per year of service allowed by law
for the minimum average amount of available financing per firefighter as prescribed by law.
According to the bylaws of the Association and pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, members who separate
from service with less than 20 years of service and have reached the age of at least 50 , and have
completed at least 5 years of active membership for members commencing active duty prior to January 1,
2010, and 10 years of active membership for members commencing active duty after January 1, 2010, 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 nonforfeitable percentage of
pension for the completed years of service times the applicable nonforfeitable 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). Required
employer contributions are calculated annually based on statutory provisions. The City’s
statutorily-required contributions to the plan for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $243,200. The
City’s contributions were equal to the required contributions as set by state statutes. The City made no
voluntary contributions to the plan. Furthermore, the firefighter has no obligation to contribute to the
plan.
D. Pension Costs
At December 31, 2017, the City reported a net pension liability (asset) of ($791,026) for the plan. The net
pension liability (asset) was measured as of December 31, 2016. The total pension liability used to
calculate the net pension liability (asset) in accordance with GASB Statement No. 68 was determined by
applying an actuarial formula to specific census data certified by the Department as of December 31,
2016.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the City recognized pension expense of $244,652. The City also
recognized $281,578 as revenue from the state of Minnesota on-behalf contributions to the Department.

E. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of the measurement date using the
following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation 2.50%
Salary increases N/A
Investment rate of return
Index rate for 20-year, tax-exempt municipal bonds
(Bond Buyer G.O. 20-Year Municipal Bond Index);
used in discount rate determination 3.78%
N/A – Not Applicable
7.50% net of pension plan investment
expense, including inflation
Mortality rates were based on the July 1, 2016 Minnesota Public Employees Retirement Association
Police and Fire Plan actuarial valuation as described below:
Healthy Pre-Retirement – RP-2000 Nonannuitant Generational Mortality Table projected with
Scale AA, white collar adjustment, male rates set back two years, female rates set back two years.
Healthy Post-Retirement – RP-2000 Nonannuitant Generational Mortality Table, projected with
Scale AA, white collar adjustment, without age adjustment.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block
method in which best-estimates of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension
plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These asset class
estimates are combined to produce the portfolio long-term expected rate of return by weighting the
expected future real rates of return by the current asset allocation percentage (or target allocation, if
available) and by adding expected inflation. All results are then rounded to the nearest quarter percent.

F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50 percent. The liability discount rate
was developed using the alternative method described in paragraph 43 of GASB Statement No. 67, which
states that “if the evaluations required by paragraph 41 can be made with sufficient reliability without a
separate projection of cash flows into and out of the pension plan, alternative methods may be applied in
making the evaluations.” We believe that the plan’s current overfunded status, combined with Minnesota
statutory funding requirements, provide sufficient reliability that projected plan assets will be adequate to
pay future retiree benefits. Therefore, we used the plan’s long-term expected investment return as the
liability discount rate.
G. Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate
The following presents the net pension liability (asset) of the Association, calculated using the discount
rate of 7.50 percent, as well as what the Association’s net pension liability (asset) would be if it were

NOTE 10 – OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) PLAN
A. Plan Description
The City provides post-employment benefits to certain eligible employees and their spouses through the
City’s OPEB Plan, a single-employer defined benefit plan administered by the City. All post-employment
benefits are based on contractual agreements with employee groups. These contractual agreements do not
include any specific contribution or funding requirements. The plan does not issue a publicly available
financial report. These benefits are summarized as follows:
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 re tiree
must pay the full premium to continue coverage for medical and dental insurance.
The City is legally required to include any retirees for whom it provides health insurance coverage in
the same insurance pool as its active employees, whether premiums are paid by the City or the retiree.
Consequently, participating retirees are considered to receive a secondary benefit known as an
“implicit rate subsidy.” This benefit relates to the assumption that the retiree is receiving a more
favorable premium rate than they would otherwise be able to obtain if purchasing insurance on their
own, due to being included in the same pool with the City’s younger and statistically healthier active
employees.
B. Funding Policy
The required contributions are based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements, with additional
amounts to prefund benefits as determined annually by the City.
C. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The City’s annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on annual required contributions (ARC) of the
City, an amount determined on an actuarially determined basis in accordance with the parameters of
GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is
projected to cover normal costs each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding
excess) over a period not to exceed 30 years. The annual OPEB cost is accrued in the accrual-based
statements. The liability is funded through payments from the City’s General Fund and enterprise funds.

D. Funded Status and Funding Progress
As of January 1, 2016, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the actuarial accrued liability for benefits
and unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) were both $1,966,565, as the plan was unfunded. The
covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $13,401,000 and the ratio
of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 15 percent.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability 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 ARC 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 following the notes to basic 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.
E. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as
understood by the employer and the 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 actuarial 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.
In the January 1, 2016 actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used. The
actuarial assumptions included: a 4.50 percent investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses)
based on the City’s own investments; an annual payroll growth rate of 3.50 percent; an annual healthcare
cost trend rate of 9.00 percent initially, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of 5.00 percent after
12 years for medical insurance; and a general inflation rate of 2.75 percent. The UAAL is amortized on a
level dollar basis over an open 30-year period.

NOTE 13 – JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH DAKOTA COUNTY
In July 1987, the City and Dakota County (the County) entered into an agreement whereby the City and
the County jointly acquired certain real estate for the purpose of building a library facility to serve the
City and surrounding communities. The City’s portion of the cost of the property was $348,414. As part
of this agreement, the City transferred its interest in the property to the Cou nty but maintains a lien for
30 years. If during this time, the County terminates its library use, the County will pay the City the
unamortized cost of the property.
NOTE 14 – TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENTS
The City, in order to spur economic development and redevelopment , has entered into private
development and redevelopment agreements to encourage a developer to construct, expand, or improve
new or existing properties and building or clean-up and redevelop blighted areas. The City has four
agreements that would be considered a tax abatement under GASB Statement No. 77.
The City is authorized to create a tax increment finance plan under Minnesota Statute s, Chapter 469.175.
The criteria that must be met under the statutes are that, in the opinion of the municipality:
• The proposed development or redevelopment would not reasonably be expected to occur solely
through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future;
• The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use
of tax increment financing would be less that the increase in the market value estimated to result
from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments
for the maximum duration of the tax increment district permitted in the plan. The requirements of
this item do not apply if the district is a housing district;
• That the tax increment financing plan conforms to the general plan for the development or
redevelopment of the municipality as a whole; and
• That the tax increment financing plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the
sound needs of the municipality as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the project
by private enterprise.
The City has entered into private development agreements regarding certain properties within a tax
increment district. Included in the development agreement was the reimbursement of eligible
development costs. The vehicle used for this reimbursement is called a tax increment revenue note.
These notes provide for the payment of principal, equal to the developer’s eligible costs, plus interest at a
set rate. Payments on the note will be made at the lesser of the note payment or a percent of the available
tax increment received during the specific year as stated in the agreement. Payments are first applied to
accrued interest and then to the principal balance. The notes are to be cancelled at the end of the term,
whether or not the note has been repaid in full.
The agreements are not a general obligation of the City and are payable solely from available tax
increments, received from the property owner. The City’s position is that these are obligations to assign
future and uncertain revenues sources and, as such, is not actual debt in substance.

NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A. Legal Claims
The City has the usual and customary type of miscellaneous legal claims pending at year-end. Although
the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, the City’s management believes that the City
will not incur any material monetary loss resulting from these claims . No loss has been recorded on the
City’s financial statements relating to these claims.
B. Freeway Landfill
In February 2017, the Environmental Protection Agency sent letters to potentially responsible
parties (PRPs) related to the clean-up of the Freeway Landfill property under the federal Superfund
Program. The State Legislature passed Laws 2017, Chapter 93, Article 2, Sections 124–128, which
transferred liability from PRPs to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (PCA). The City continues to
work with the PCA to secure funds for the closure of the landfill.
C. Federal and State Funding
Amounts recorded or receivable from federal and state agencies are subject to agency a udit and
adjustment. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the
applicable funds. The amount, if any, of claims which may be disallowed by the grantor agencies cannot
be determined at this time, although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
-74-
NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
D. Tax Increment Districts
The City’s tax increment districts are subject to review by the state of Minnesota Office of the State
Auditor. Any disallowed claims or misuse of tax increments could become a liability of the 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.
E. Construction Commitments
At December 31, 2017, the City is committed to various construction contracts for the improvement of
city property. The City’s remaining commitment under these contracts is approximately $6,500,000.
F. Operating Lease
On October 22, 2015, the City entered into an agreement to extend the existing liquor store building lease
at Apple Valley Shopping Center with Time Square Shopping Center II, LLP for t hree years commencing
February 1, 2016, and ending January 31, 2019 at a base rent of $11,000 per month. Lease expenditures
for the year ending December 31, 2017 were $132,000. The following is a schedule by years of future
minimum payments required under the leases as of December 31, 2017:
Year Ending
December 31, Amount
2018 132,000$
2019 11,000

Overlapping governments are those that coincide,at least in part,with the geographic boundaries of the City.This
schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents
and businesses of the City.This process recognizes that,when considering the City’s ability to issue and repay
long-term debt,the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account.However,
this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident and,therefore,responsible for repaying the debt of each term
debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account.
Metro Transit has bond indebtedness of $177,190,000 as of December 31,2017.Transit debt is issued by the
Metropolitan Council for all public transit operations in the transit district and is payable from ad valorem taxes
levied on all taxable property within the Metropolitan Transit District.
Dakota County.Percentage of debt applicable is calculated by dividing a portion of tax capacity of the authority that
lies in the City divided by the total tax capacity that lies in Dakota County.

PLANNED SCOPE AND TIMING OF THE AUDIT
We performed the audit according to the planned scope and timing previously discussed and coordinated
in order to obtain sufficient audit evidence and complete an effective audit.
AUDIT OPINION AND FINDINGS
Based on our audit of the City’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017:
• We have issued an unmodified opinion on the City’s basic financial statements.
• We reported one matter involving the City’s internal control over financial reporting that we
considered to be a significant deficiency. Due to the limited size of the City’s staff, the City has
limited segregation of duties over cash receipts, community center refunds and reimbursements,
golf course inventory, and utility billing adjustments. This finding is further detailed in the City’s
Special Purpose Audit Reports.
• The results of our testing disclosed no instances of noncompliance required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
• We reported two findings based on our testing of the City’s compliance with Minnesota laws and
regulations. These findings, as further detailed in the City’s Special Purpose Audit Reports,
include the following:
1. Responsible Contractor Language
2. Claims and Disbursements

OTHER OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Golf Course Inventory and Event Revenue Tracking
As part of our audit, we noted the City does not have an adequate process for tracking both food and
beverage inventory at the golf course. Due to the size and nature of the golf course operations,
segregation of duties is limited in the ordering, receiving, and recording of inventory, and there are no
standardized processes for interim or annual physical counts. Additionally, the usage of food and
beverage inventories that occurs during events held at the golf course is not accurately captured by the
current inventory software, due to system limitations and internal modification deficiencies made to the
software. These conditions expose the City to a higher risk that errors or fraud could occur and not be
detected in a timely manner in the normal course of business. One way to h elp mitigate this risk would be
to implement monthly physical inventory counts, which are then reviewed in conjunction with the
financial activities and results that occur during the same time period. The effectiveness of this type of
control procedure is somewhat dependent upon the frequency and timeliness with which it is performed.
During our audit, we also evaluated the golf course’s information systems, policies and procedures
surrounding event management, including the billing of its customers. During our procedures, we noted it
was necessary for the golf course to utilize a stand-alone system for event tracking, due to the inability of
the golf course point-of-sale system and the City’s finance system to generate itemized invoices for
events. The particular sale details are then later manually entered into the point -of-sale system at the golf
course in order for the data to be transferred into the City’s finance software.
During the current audit year, the City reviewed the operations at the golf course and is in the process of
implementing controls and procedures surrounding event management and billing and tracking of both
food and beverage inventory. We recommend the City continues to review these systems and monitor the
controls to ensure all events held at the golf course are properly included in the City’s point -of-sale and
financial systems. Furthermore, we recommend the City standardize the billing process for events held at
the golf course, including assessing whether these functions should be centralized and completed within
the finance department.
Claims and Disbursements
All general disbursement invoices are paid through the City’s finance department. During the audit
process, it was noted that vendor invoices are being received in various departments within the City. On
occasion, there is a timing delay of sending the invoice to the finance department for payment. We
recommend the City review claims and disbursement payment procedures and obtain all vendor invoices
centrally at city hall to process in the electronic accounts payable system through the finance department.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant
accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 of the notes to basic financial statements.
No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during
the year ended December 31, 2017; however, the City implemented the following governmental
accounting standards during the fiscal year:
• Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 79, Certain External
Investment Pools and Pool Participants, which enhanced disclosures regarding investments.
• GASB Statement No. 82, Pension Issues, an amendment of GASB Statements No. 67, No. 68, and
No. 73, which addressed certain issues related to pension reporting and disclosures.
-3-
We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative
guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the
proper period.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND MANAGEMENT JUDGMENTS
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about
future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the
financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ
significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements were:
• Depreciation – Management’s estimates of depreciation expense are based on the estimated
useful lives of the assets.
• Net Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB) Liabilities and Pension Benefits – The City has
recorded liabilities and activity for net other post-employment benefits (OPEB) and pension
benefits. These obligations are calculated using actuarial methodologies described in the GASB
Statement Nos. 45 and 68. These actuarial calculations include significant assumptions, including
projected changes, healthcare insurance costs, investment returns, retirement ages, proportionate
share, and employee turnover.
• Compensated Absences – Management’s estimates are based on current rates of pay and unused
compensated absence balances.
• Self-Insurance Reserves – Management’s estimates of self-insurance reserves are based on the
estimated liability for incurred but not reported claims.
• Land Held for Resale – Management’s estimates of these assets are based on the lower of cost
or acquisition value.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these accounting estimates in determining
that they are reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
CORRECTED AND UNCORRECTED MISSTATEMENTS
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the
audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.
Where applicable, management has corrected all such misstatements, including the prior period
adjustment noted in the comprehensive annual financial report. There were no additional misstatements
detected as a result of audit procedures that were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each
opinion unit’s financial statements taken as a whole.
DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED IN PERFORMING THE AUDIT
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our
audit.
-4-
DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT
For purposes of this report, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or
auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial
statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the
course of our audit.
MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATIONS
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management
representation letter dated June 25, 2018.
MANAGEMENT CONSULTATIONS WITH OTHER INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves
application of an accounting principle to the City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of
auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards requi re the
consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our
knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
OTHER AUDIT FINDINGS OR ISSUES
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing
standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these
discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our respo nses were not a
condition to our retention.
OTHER MATTERS
We applied certain limited procedures to the management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) and the
pension and OPEB-related required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial
statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding 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 did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on
the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the supplementary information accompanying the financial statements,
which is not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of
management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that
the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and
complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the
supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements
or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the introductory and statistical sections, which accompany the financial
statements, but are not RSI. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on it.

GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS OVERVIEW
This section of the report provides you with an overview of the financial trends and activities of the City’s
governmental funds, which includes the General, special revenue, debt service, and capital project funds.
These funds are used to account for the basic services the City provides to all of its citizens, which are
financed primarily with property taxes. The governmental fund information in the City’s financial
statements focuses on budgetary compliance and the sufficiency of each governmental fund’s current
assets to finance its current liabilities.
PROPERTY TAXES
Minnesota cities rely heavily on local property tax levies to support their governmental fund activities.
For the 2016 fiscal year, local ad valorem property tax levies provided 39.8 percent of the total
governmental fund revenues for cities over 2,500 in population, and 36.4 percent for cities under 2,500 in
population.
The total market value of property in Minnesota cities increased about 5.6 percent for the 2017 levy year,
which followed an increase of 5.7 percent for levy year 2016. The market values used for levying
property taxes are based on the previous fiscal year (e.g., market values for taxes levied in 2017 were
based on assessed values as of January 1, 2016), so the trend of change in these market values lags
somewhat behind the housing market and economy in general.
The City’s taxable market value increased 5.6 percent for taxes payable in 2016 and increased 4.6 percent
for taxes payable in 2017. The following graph shows the City’s changes in taxable market value over the
past 10 years:

Taxable Market Value
-6-
Tax capacity is considered the actual base available for taxation. It is calculated by applying the state’s
property classification system to each property’s market value. Each property classification, such as
commercial or residential, has a different calculation and uses different rates. Consequently, a city’s total
tax capacity will change at a different rate than its total market value, as tax capacity is affected by the
proportion of its tax base that is in each property classification from year -to-year, as well as legislative
changes to tax rates. The City’s tax capacity increased 5.2 percent for taxes payable in 2016 and increased
4.4 percent for taxes payable in 2017.

as of December 31,
In total, the fund balances of the City’s governmental funds decreased by $12,536,778 during the year
ended December 31, 2017. The decrease is mainly in fund balance restricted for debt service, due largely
to the 2013A and 2015B bond proceeds being used in the current year to refund outstanding bonds in
advance of scheduled payment dates.

GOVERNMENTAL FUND REVENUES
The following table presents the per capita revenue of the City’s governmental funds for the past
three years, along with state-wide averages.
We have included the most recent comparative state-wide averages available from the Office of the State
Auditor to provide a benchmark for interpreting the City’s data. The amounts received from the typical
major sources of governmental fund revenue will naturally vary between cities based on factors , such as a
city’s stage of development, location, size and density of its population, property values, services it
provides, and other attributes. It will also differ from year-to-year, due to the effect of inflation and
changes in its operation. Also, certain data in these tables may be classified differently than how they
appear in the City’s financial statements in order to be more comparable to the state-wide information,
particularly in separating capital expenditures from current expenditures.
We have designed this section of our management report using per capita data in order to better identify
unique or unusual trends and activities of the City. We intend for this type of comparative and trend
information to complement, rather than duplicate, information in the MD&A. An inherent difficulty in
presenting per capita information is the accuracy of the population count, which for most years is based
on estimates.

Governmental Funds Revenue per Capita
With State-Wide Averages by Population Class
State-Wide City of Apple Valley
The City’s governmental funds have generated significantly less revenue per capita in total than other
Minnesota cities in its population class. As noted above, the City receives a lower level of
intergovernmental revenue than the average city, causing the City to rely on property taxes and other
forms of revenue to operate the governmental activities of the City.
The City generated $38,970,339 of total revenue in its governmental funds in 2017, a decrease of
$2,546,000 (6.1 percent) from the prior year. The City’s per capita governmental funds revenue for 2017
was $745, a decrease of $64, or 7.9 percent, from the prior year. The largest changes occurred in special
assessments, other revenue, and licenses and permits. Special assessment revenue decreased $51 per
capita, due to the decreased special assessment prepayments in the current year. The decrease in other
revenue of $34 per capita is due to additional project escrow deposits and park dedications received in the
prior year. These decreases were offset by the $22 per capita increase in licenses and permits, due to
increased building activity.

GOVERNMENTAL FUND EXPENDITURES
The expenditures of governmental funds will also vary from state -wide averages and from year-to-year,
based on the City’s circumstances. Expenditures are classified into three types as follows:
• Current – These are typically the general operating type expenditures occurring on an annual
basis, and are primarily funded by general sources, such as taxes and intergovernmental revenues.
• Capital Outlay and Construction – These expenditures do not occur on a consistent basis, more
typically fluctuating significantly from year-to-year. Many of these expenditures are
project-oriented, and are often funded by specific sources that have benefited from the
expenditure, such as special assessment improvement projects.
• Debt Service – Although the expenditures for debt service may be relatively consistent over the
term of the respective debt, the funding source is the important factor. Some debt may be repaid
through specific sources, such as special assessments or redevelopment funding, while other debt
may be repaid with general property taxes.
The City’s expenditures per capita of its governmental funds for the past three years, together with
state-wide averages, are presented in the following table:

Total expenditures in the City’s governmental funds for 2017 were $40,714,407, an increase of $620,049
(1.5 percent). The City’s per capita governmental funds current expenditures decreased $14 per capita,
mainly in the general government function. Debt service expenditures experienced an increase of $12 per
capita as established with the scheduled payment plans approved at the time of issuing debt.

GENERAL FUND
The City’s General Fund accounts for the financial activity of the basic services provided to the
community. The primary services included within this fund are the administration of the municipal
operation, police and fire protection, building inspection, streets and highway maintenance, and parks and
recreation. The graph below illustrates the change in the General Fund financial position over the last
five years. We have also included a line representing annual expenditures to reflect the change in the size
of the General Fund operation over the same period.

General Fund Financial Position
Year Ended December 31,
The City’s General Fund cash and investments balance at December 31, 2017 was $15,908,162, an
increase of $1,705,556 from the previous year. Total fund balance at December 31, 2017 was
$17,336,413, an increase of $726,959 from the prior year.
Having an appropriate fund balance is an important factor in assessing the City’s financial health because
a government, like any organization, requires a certain amount of equity to operate. Generally, the amount
of equity required typically increases as the size of the operation increases. A healthy financial position
allows the City to avoid volatility in tax rates; helps minimize the impact of state funding changes; allows
for the adequate and consistent funding of services, repairs, and unexpected costs; and can be a factor in
determining the City’s bond rating and resulting interest costs.
The City Council has formally adopted a fund balance policy that states the City will strive to maintain a
minimum unassigned General Fund balance of 50.0 percent of the subsequent year’s budgeted
expenditures. At December 31, 2017, the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was 49.3 percent
of the subsequent year’s budgeted expenditures, including transfers.

$463,108, mostly in the information technology department related to lower than anticipated costs in
software licensing and equipment purchases. Public safety was under budget $530,742, mostly in the fire
protection and police protection departments resulting from less equipment purchases and position
vacancies. Public works expenditures were $423,931 under budget, mostly from savings of overtime
hours in the streets department. The remaining variance was in parks and recreation expenditures, which
was $124,205 under budget, mostly in the parks maintenance department in equipment purchases and
lower than budgeted benefit costs.

Enterprise Funds Change in Financial Position
Net Position
as of December 31,
In total, the net position ($110,535,661) of the City’s enterprise funds decreased by $415,504 during the
year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in the net investment in capital assets reflects the continued
investment in utility infrastructure and other capital assets. The decrease in unrestricted net position
($1,702,495) is due to the use of unrestricted net position for capital asset purchases in the current year.
In the current year, the City reported a prior period adjustment in the Water and Sewer Fund and Storm
Drainage Fund related to the City’s inventory of capitalized assets and the related useful lives. This prior
period adjustment reduced beginning equity by $16,546,976 in the Water and Sewer Fund and $9,306,199
in the Storm Drainage Fund. The 2016 balances in the table above have been restated for this adjustment.

from the prior year. Of this net position, $57,880,536 represents the investment in water and sewer
distribution system capital assets, leaving $11,946,924 of unrestricted net position. This fund recorded a
prior period adjustment related to the City’s inventory of capitalized assets and the related useful lives
that reduced beginning net investment in capital assets by $16,546,976.
Water and Sewer Fund operating revenue was $9,910,773 for 2017, an increase of $460,411 (4.9 percent)
from the prior year, due to an increase in rates. Operating expenses (excluding depreciation) of
$7,016,546 were $614,699 (9.6 percent) higher than last year, mainly due to an increase in building
repairs, consulting services related to the comprehensive plan, and the increased sewer charges.
Although this fund is in a healthy financial position, we suggest that the City continue to review the water
and sewer rates on an annual basis. Water and sewer rates are generally designed to cover operating costs
and provide an accumulation of resources for significant repairs and replacements, and an operating
cushion for potential negative years in financial operations.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In addition to fund-based information, the current reporting model for governmental entities also requires
the inclusion of two government-wide financial statements designed to present a clear picture of the City
as a single, unified entity. These government-wide statements provide information on the total cost of
delivering services, including capital assets and long-term liabilities.
STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
The Statement of Net Position essentially tells you what your city owns and owes at a given point in time,
the last day of the fiscal year. Theoretically, net position represents the resources the City has leftover to
use for providing services after its debts are settled. However, those resources are not always in spendable
form, or there may be restrictions on how some of those resources can be used. Therefore, the Statement
of Net Position divides the net position into three components:
• Net Investment in Capital Assets – The portion of net position reflecting equity in capital assets
(i.e., capital assets minus related debt).
• Restricted Net Position – The portion of net position equal to resources whose use is l egally
restricted minus any noncapital-related liabilities payable from those same resources.
• Unrestricted Net Position – The residual balance of net position after the elimination of net
investment in capital assets and restricted net position.
The following table presents the components of the City’s net position as of December 31, 2017 and
2016, for governmental activities and business-type activities:
Increase
2016 (as restated)2017 (Decrease)

Total net position 245,328,211$ 249,719,273$ 4,391,062$
As of December 31,
The City’s total net position at December 31, 2017 was $4,391,062 higher than the previous year-end,
which was comprised of an increase of $4,818,160 in governmental activities and a decrease of $427,098
in business-type activities.
In the current year, the City reported a prior period adjustment in the Water and Sewer Fund and Storm
Drainage Fund, which is part of business-type activities on the entity-wide statements, related to the
City’s inventory of capitalized assets and the related useful lives. This prior period adjustment reduced
beginning equity by $25,853,175. The 2016 balances in the table above have been restated for this
adjustment.
-22-
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The Statement of Activities tracks the City’s yearly revenues and expenses, as well as any other
transactions that increase or reduce total net position. These amounts represent the full cost of providing
services. The Statement of Activities provides a more comprehensive measure than just the amount of
cash that changed hands, as reflected in the fund-based financial statements. This statement includes the
cost of supplies used, depreciation of long-lived capital assets, and other accrual-based expenses.
The following table presents the change in the net position of the City for the years ended December 31,
2017 and 2016:

Net Change
One of the goals of this statement is to provide a side-by-side comparison to illustrate the difference in the
way the City’s governmental and business-type operations are financed. The table clearly illustrates the
dependence of the City’s governmental operations on general revenues, such as property taxes and
unrestricted grants. It also shows if the City’s business-type activities are generating sufficient program
revenues (service charges and program-specific grants) to cover expenses. This is critical given the
current downward pressures on the general revenue sources.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATES
The 2017 legislative session began with a full agenda, which included adopting a fiscal year 2018–2019
biennial state budget. The February 2017, state budget forecast projected that the state General Fund
would end the 2016–2017 biennium with a surplus of $743 million, eliminating the need for budget cuts
or transfers to balance the fund. However, the Legislature was expected to address several significant
spending areas for which successful funding appropriations had not been passed in recent legislative
sessions. The 2017 regular legislative session ended with four omnibus budget bills being vetoed,
potentially leaving a number of these same areas without appropriations. After a three-day special session,
the Governor and Legislature were able to agree on budget and appropriation bills addressing most of the
state budgetary needs for the upcoming biennium, albeit not without several line item vetoes invoked by
the Governor, including striking the appropriations for operating the House and Senate from the bills.
The following is a summary of recent legislation affecting Minnesota cities:
Omnibus Bonding Bill – The omnibus bonding bill authorizes financing for approximately $1.1 billion
in capital improvements. Included in the approved funding was $255 million for transportation
infrastructure, $83 million for economic development, $116 million for Public Financing Agency water
infrastructure loans and grants to municipalities, and $4 million for Metropolitan Council inflow and
infiltration improvement grants to metro area cities.
Omnibus Transportation Bill – The omnibus transportation bill appropriates $2.95 billion in fiscal 2018
and $2.87 billion in fiscal 2019, for a wide variety of transportation related projects. Included in the
appropriations are approximately $191 million and $198 million for municipal state aid street fund
purposes in fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019, respectively.
Property Tax Relief – The omnibus tax bill contained a number of property tax relief measures,
including:
• Elimination of the implicit price deflator annual increase for the state general property tax
levy, effectively freezing it at the payable 2018 level for many property classes;
• Exempting the first $100,000 of each commercial-industrial parcel’s tax capacity from the
state general property tax levy;
• Expanding eligibility for homestead or agricultural property classification exemptions for
certain types of resort and conservation property for general property taxes; and
• Increasing the minimum value for a storage shed, deck, or similar structure on a leased
mobile home to be considered taxable from $1,000 to $10,000.
Local Government Aid – The annual appropriation for Local Government Aid (LGA) for cities was
increased $15.0 million to $534.4 million for aid payable in 2018 and thereafter, and the LGA payment
schedule was accelerated for fiscal 2019 only. Several corrections were also mad e to the city LGA
formula calculation, and a sparsity adjustment was incorporated for certain medium and small cities
beginning in 2018.
Minnesota Investment Fund – The omnibus jobs and economic growth bill appropriates $12.5 million
for each year of the biennium for the Minnesota Investment Fund, which is available for municipalities to
provide loans to assist with the expansion of local businesses.
Electronic Funds Transfers – Effective August 1, 2017, home rule charter cities of the second, third, or
fourth class are added to the list of local government entities allowed to pay certain claims using
electronic funds transfers. To be eligible, local governments must enact specified policy controls
governing the initiation, authorization, and documentation of electronic funds transfers.
Claims Declaration – The requirement to obtain a specific form of written claim declaration was also
repealed based on the understanding that by making the claim, the party making the claim is declaring
that the claim is just and correct and has not been paid previously.
-24-
City E-mail Address Required to Receive State Aid – Effective for state aids payable in 2018 and
thereafter, cities will be required to register an official e-mail address with the Commissioner of the state
Department of Revenue in order to receive state aid payments.
Workforce Housing Tax Increment Financing – The omnibus tax bill created a new authorized use of
tax increment financing (TIF), for workforce housing in cities located outside of the statutorily defined
metropolitan area that meet certain criteria.
Tax Increment Financing Interfund Loans – Interfund loan provisions for TIF were amended to make
it easier for cities and development authorities to make and document interfund loans. Loans may now be
made or documented up to 60 days after the actual transfer or expenditure occurs. Interfund loan
resolutions may now be passed prior to the final approval of the related TIF plan. Loan terms may be
amended after the loan has been made if the TIF district has not been decertified.
Public Debt – The Legislature passed several amendments to statutes governing public debt that took
effect on July 1, 2017, including:
• Allowing both home rule charter and statutory cities to issue 20-year capital notes for projects
to eliminate R-22 Freon-based refrigerant;
• Increasing the maximum dollar limit on Housing and Redevelopment Authority general
obligation bond issues from $3 million to $5 million; and
• Modifying the requirements for street reconstruction bonds to be approved by a two-thirds
majority of the governing body rather than requiring unanimous approval.
Local Housing Trust Funds – The omnibus jobs and economic growth appropriations bill established
authority for cities to create a local housing trust fund by ordinance, or to participate in a joint powers
agreement to establish a regional housing trust fund. The funds, which may be financed from sources such
as local government appropriations or housing and redevelopment authority levies, may be used for grants
or loans for development, rehabilitation, financing of housing to match federal or state or private funds for
housing, down payment assistance, rental assistance, or homebuyer counseling.
Long-Term Equity Investment Authority – Effective July 1, 2017, cities with a population of more
than 100,000 or those that had their most recently issued general obligation bonds rated in the highest
category, are authorized to invest in an expanded list of authori zed investments that includes certain
equity-based investments. The amount invested in equity-based investments cannot exceed 15 percent of
the sum of a city’s assigned cash, cash equivalents, deposits, and investments. Before investing in the
expanded list of authorized investments, the governing body of the municipality must adopt a resolution
acknowledging the risks assumed.
Border-to-Border Broadband Grants – The Legislature appropriated $20 million in fiscal 2018 for the
Border-to-Border Broadband Grant Program. The grants, available through the Office of Broadband
Development in the Department of Employment and Economic Development, provide funding to help
communities meet state goals for the development of state-wide, high-speed broadband access, focusing
on areas currently considered to be underserved or with a high concentration of low-income households.
Elections – An omnibus elections law was passed making several modifications to election
administration, including: requiring special elections conducted by local governments be held on one of
five uniform election dates, clarifying the timeline for municipalities to change from odd to even -year
election cycles or vise-versa, allowing municipalities to canvass the results of a primary election on the
second or third day after the primary, and appropriating $7 million for grants to replace aging election
equipment or purchase electronic poll books.
-25-
Workers’ Compensation and PERA Retirement Benefits – A statutory change was adopted based on
the results of recent court rulings that Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) retirement
benefits should not be offset against workers’ compensation permanent total disability benefits. Under the
new law, claimants would receive all past and future permanent and total disability benefits without a
PERA retirement offset. Effective January 1, 2019, the contribution rates for the Police and Fire Plan will
increase. Employee and employer rates will increase by 1.0 percent and 1.5 percent , respectively, phased
in over a two-year period.
Notice of Proposed Ordinances – A new statute was created requiring cities to provide a 10-day notice
prior to a scheduled final vote on most new proposed ordinances or amendments to ordinances, and
specifying the various acceptable means of providing the required notification.
State Building Code Applicability – Construction, additions, and alterations to places of public
accommodation; defined as publicly or privately-owned facilities designed for occupancy by 200 or more
people as a sports or entertainment arena, stadium, theater, community or convention hall, special event
center, indoor amusement facility or water park, or indoor swimming pool; must comply with the state
building code.
Sunday Liquor Sales – Minnesota Statutes were amended to allow for the sale of intoxicating liquor on
Sundays between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. by off-sale licensees, effective July 1, 2017.
REAL ID Act – Minnesota Statutes were amended to make the state compliant with federal REAL ID
Act requirements, which will change identity verification and security related to state-issued identification
cards and driver’s licenses.

ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING UPDATES
GASB STATEMENT NO. 75, ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING FOR POSTEMPLOYMENT
BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than
Pensions, establishes new accounting and financial reporting requirements for governments whose
employees are provided with other post-employment benefits (OPEB), as well as for certain nonemployer
governments that have a legal obligation to provide financial support for OPEB provided to the
employees of other entities. This statement replaces the requirements of GASB Statement Nos. 45 and 57.
This statement establishes standards for recognizing and measuring liabilities, deferred outflows of
resources, deferred inflows of resources, and expense/expenditures. Similar to changes implemented for
pensions, this statement requires the liability of employer and nonemployer contributing entities to
employees for defined benefit OPEB (net OPEB liability) to be measured as the portion of the present
value of projected benefit payments to be provided to current active and inactive employees that is
attributed to those employees’ past periods of service (total OPEB liability), less the amount of the OPEB
plan’s fiduciary net position. Note disclosure and RSI requirements about defined benefit OPEB also are
addressed.
The requirements for this statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2017. Earlier
application is encouraged.
GASB STATEMENT NO. 83, CERTAIN ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
This statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for certain asset retirement obligations
(ARO), which are legally enforceable liabilities associated with the retirement of a tangible capital asset.
This statement establishes criteria for determining the timing and pattern of recognition of a liability and a
corresponding deferred outflow of resources for ARO. A government that has legal obligations to perform
future asset retirement activities related to its tangible capital assets should recognize a liability when it is
both incurred and reasonably estimable. The measurement of an ARO is required to be based on the best
estimate of the current value of outlays expected to be incurred, and a deferred outflow of resources
associated with an ARO is required to be measured at the amount of the corresponding liability upon
initial measurement.
This statement requires the current value of a government’s AROs to be adjusted for the effects of general
inflation or deflation at least annually, and a government to evaluate all relevant fac tors at least annually
to determine whether the effects of one or more of the factors are expected to significantly change the
estimated asset retirement outlays. A government should remeasure an ARO only when the result of the
evaluation indicates there is a significant change in the estimated outlays. Deferred outflows of resources
should be reduced and recognized as outflows of resources in a systematic and rational manner over the
estimated useful life of the tangible capital asset.
If a government owns a minority interest in a jointly owned tangible asset where a nongovernmental
entity is the majority owner or has operational responsibility for the jointly owned asset, the government’s
minority share of an ARO should be reported using the measurement produced by the nongovernmental
majority owner or the nongovernmental minority owner that has operational responsibility, without
adjustment to conform to the liability measurement and recognition requirements of this statement.
-27-
The statement also requires disclosures of any funding or financial assurance requirements a government
has related to the performance of asset retirement activities, along with any assets restricted for the
payment of the government’s AROs. This statement also requires disclosure of information about the
nature of a government’s AROs, the methods and assumptions used for the estimates of the liabilities, and
the estimated remaining useful life of the associated tangible capital assets. If an ARO (or portions
thereof) has been incurred by a government but is not yet recognized because it is not reasonably
estimable, the government is required to disclose that fact and the reasons therefor. This statement
requires similar disclosures for a government’s minority shares of AROs.
The requirements of this statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2018.
Earlier application is encouraged.
GASB STATEMENT NO. 84, FIDUCIARY ACTIVITIES
This statement establishes criteria for identifying fiduciary activities of all state and local governments.
The focus of the criteria generally is on (1) whether a government is controlling the assets of the fiduciary
activity and (2) the beneficiaries with whom a fiduciary relationship exists. Separate criteria are included
to identify fiduciary component units and post-employment benefit arrangements that are fiduciary
activities.
An activity meeting the criteria should be reported in a fiduciary fund in the basic financial statements,
which should present a statement of fiduciary net position and a statement of changes in fiduciary net
position. This statement describes four fiduciary funds that should be reported, if applicable: (1) pension
(and other employee benefit) trust funds, (2) investment trust funds, (3) private-purpose trust funds, and
(4) custodial funds. Custodial funds generally should report fiduciary activities that are not held in a trust
or equivalent arrangement that meets specific criteria.
A fiduciary component unit, when reported in the fiduciary fund financial statements of a primary
government, should combine its information with its component units that are fiduciary component units
and aggregate that combined information with the primary government’s fiduciary funds.
This statement also provides for recognition of a liability to the beneficiaries in a fiduciary fund when an
event has occurred that compels the government to disburse fiduciary resources, defined as when a
demand for the resources has been made or when no further action, approval, or condition is required to
be taken or met by the beneficiary to release the assets.
The requirements of this statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.
Earlier application is encouraged.
GASB STATEMENT NO. 85, OMNIBUS 2017
The objective of this statement is to address issues that have been identified during implementation and
application of certain GASB statements. The statement addresses a variety of topics, including issues
related to blending component units, goodwill, fair value measurement and application, and
post-employment benefits (pensions and OPEB). The statement is meant to enhance consistency in the
application of recent accounting and financial reporting standards. The requirements of this statement are
effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2017.
-28-
GASB STATEMENT NO. 86, CERTAIN DEBT EXTINGUISHMENT ISSUES
Current GASB guidance requires that debt be considered defeased in substance when the debtor
irrevocably places cash or other monetary assets acquired with refunding debt proceeds in a trust to be
used solely for satisfying scheduled payments of both principal and interest of the defeased debt. This
new standard establishes essentially the same requirements for when a government places cash and other
monetary assets acquired with only existing resources in an irrevocable trust to extinguish the debt.
The primary objective of this statement is to improve consistency in accounting and financial reporting
for in-substance defeasance of debt by providing guidance for transactions in which cash and other
monetary assets acquired with only existing resources—resources other than the proceeds of refunding
debt—are placed in an irrevocable trust for the sole purpose of extinguishing debt. This statement also
improves accounting and financial reporting for prepaid insurance on debt that is extinguished and notes
to financial statements for debt that is defeased in substance. The requirements of this statement are
effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2017.
GASB STATEMENT NO. 87, LEASES
A lease is a contract that transfers control of the right to use another entity’s nonfinancial asset as
specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Examples of
nonfinancial assets include buildings, land, vehicles, and equipment. Any contract that meets this
definition should be accounted for under the leases guidance, unless specifically excluded in this
statement.
Governments enter into leases for many types of assets. Under the previous guidance, leases were
classified as either capital or operating depending on whether the lease met any of four tests. In many
cases, the previous guidance resulted in reporting lease transactions differently than similar nonlease
financing transactions.
The goal of this statement is to better meet the information needs of users by improving accounting and
financial reporting for leases by governments. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on
the principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. This statement increases the
usefulness of financial statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases
that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of
resources based on the payment provisions of the contract.
Under this statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right -to-use lease
asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources, thereby
enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about governments’ leasing activities.
To reduce the cost of implementation, this statement includes an exception for short-term leases, defined
as a lease that, at the commencement of the lease term, has a maximum possible term under the lease
contract of 12 months (or less), including any options to extend, regardless of their probability of being
exercised. Lessees and lessors should recognize short-term lease payments as outflows of resources or
inflows of resources, respectively, based on the payment provisions of the lease contract. The
requirements of this statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the City Council and Management
City of Apple Valley, Minnesota
We have audited, 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, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of
the City of Apple Valley, Minnesota (the City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements,
and have issued our report thereon dated June 25, 2018.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control
over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do
not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A
significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less
severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may
exist that have not been identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be a material weakness. We did identify certain
deficiencies in internal control, described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Responses as
item 2017-001, that we consider to be a significant deficiency.
(continued)
-2-
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
CITY’S RESPONSE TO FINDING
The City’s response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying Schedule of
Findings and Responses. The City’s response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
ON MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE
To the City Council and Management
City of Apple Valley, Minnesota
We have audited, 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, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of
the City of Apple Valley, Minnesota (the City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements,
and have issued our report thereon dated June 25, 2018.
MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE
The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Cities, promulgated by the State Auditor pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes § 6.65, contains seven categories of compliance to be tested: contracting and bidding,
deposits and investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, claims and disbursements,
miscellaneous provisions, and tax increment financing. Our audit considered all of the listed categories.
In connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City failed to
comply with the provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Cities, except as
described in the Schedule of Findings and Responses as items 2017-002 and 2017-003. However, our
audit was not directed primarily toward obtaining knowledge of such noncompliance. Accordingly, had
we performed additional procedures, other matters may have come to our attention regarding the City’s
noncompliance with the above referenced provisions.
CITY’S RESPONSES TO FINDINGS
The City’s responses to the legal compliance findings identified in our audit have been included in the
Schedule of Findings and Responses. The City’s responses were not subject to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.
PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of compliance and the results of
that testing, and not to provide an opinion on compliance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any
other purpose.

Schedule of Findings and Responses
Year Ended December 31, 2017

A. FINDINGS – SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING
2017-001 INADEQUATE SEGREGATION OF DUTIES
Criteria – Internal control over financial reporting.
Condition – The City of Apple Valley, Minnesota (the City) has limited segregation of duties
over cash receipts, community center refunds and reimbursements, golf course inventory, and
utility billing adjustments.
Context – This is a current year and prior year finding.
Cause – The limited segregation of duties is primarily caused by the limited size of the City’s
finance and recreation department staff.
Effect – One important element of internal accounting controls is an adequate segregation of
duties such that no one individual has responsibility to execute a transaction, have physical
access to the related assets, and have responsibility or authority to record the transaction. A
lack of segregation of duties subjects the City to a higher risk that errors or fraud could occur
and not be detected in a timely manner in the normal course of business.
Recommendation – We recommend that the City continue to review its accounting
procedures and internal controls and make improvements on an ongoing basis within the
limits of the staff available.
Management Response – There is no disagreement with the audit finding. The City has
made improvements during the current year and is in the process of making additional
improvements to its internal control structure to maximize the segregation of duties in all
areas within the limits of the staff available.
B. FINDINGS – MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE AUDIT
2017-002 RESPONSIBLE CONTRACTOR LANGUAGE
Criteria – Minnesota Statutes § 16C.285.
Condition – Minnesota Statutes require the City to include responsible contractor language
for each construction contract in excess of $50,000, awarded pursuant to a lowest responsible
bidder or best value process. The successful contractor must submit a verificati on of
compliance signed under oath by an owner or officer verifying compliance with the minimum
criteria set forth in Minnesota Statutes § 16C.285.
Context – One of four bids tested was not in compliance. This is a current year finding.
Cause – This was an oversight by city personnel.
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY
Schedule of Findings and Responses (continued)
Year Ended December 31, 2017
-5-
B. FINDINGS – MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE AUDIT (CONTINUED)
2017-002 RESPONSIBLE CONTRACTOR LANGUAGE (CONTINUED)
Effect – One bid approved in 2017 was not in compliance with this statute for responsible
contractor requirements.
Recommendation – We recommend that the City review applicable statutes and bid
procedures to ensure future compliance.
Management Response – There is no disagreement with the audit finding. The City will
review its procedures to ensure that verifications are obtained in the future.
2017-003 CLAIMS AND DISBURSEMENTS
Criteria – Minnesota Statutes § 471.425, Subd. 2.
Condition – Minnesota Statutes require cities to pay each vendor obligation according to the
terms of each contract or within 35 days after the receipt of the goods or services , or the
invoice for the goods or services. If such obligations are not paid within the appropriate time
period, cities must pay interest on the unpaid obligations at the rate of 1.5 percent per month
or part of a month. For one disbursement selected for testing, the City did not pay the
obligation within the required time period, and did not pay interest on the unpaid obligation.
Context – One of twenty-five disbursements tested were not in compliance. This is a current
year finding.
Cause – This was an oversight by city personnel by not submitting invoices to the centralized
accounts payable function.
Effect – One payment made to a vendor was not paid within the timeframe as required by
state statutes, and the vendor was not paid interest to which they were entitled.
Recommendation – We recommend that the City review claims and disbursements payment
procedures in place to ensure future compliance with this statute.
Management Response – The City agrees with the finding. The City will review its payment
procedures and monitor vendor submissions of invoices to ensure they are submitted to the
centralized accounts payable function.

Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP), was audited by
MMKR and received an
unmodified opinion, which is the
best audit opinion possible.
In order for Apple Valley to
manage the community finances
smoothly, it divides various
activities into several different
funds. Governmental funds
account for tax-supported
activities and include:
General Fund activities
that provide for basic
operations of the City, i.e.
administration, building
maintenance, police & fire,
street & park maintenance,
recreation activity,
community development and
planning.
Special Revenue Funds
account for activities
restricted to specific
purposes like the City’s
Economic Development
Authority.
Debt Service Funds track
revenues and expenses
related to repayment of long
-term debt.
Capital Projects Funds
collect revenue from special
assessments, state and
county aids and allots them
toward construction or major
capital expenses.
Proprietary Funds account
for activities that operate as
a public enterprise which are
paid for by user fees, i.e.
water, sanitary sewer, storm
sewer, liquor stores, and
Valleywood Golf Course.
Internal Service Funds
account for the acquisition,
operation, and maintenance
of governmental facilities
and services, which are
entirely or predominately
self-supported by user
charges to the governmental
funds.

into several governmental
entities. Apple Valley collects
35 cents of every tax dollar

residential home valued at
$224,100.

How Tax Dollars Buy City Services
Residents receive a variety of City services for an
affordable price. The cost of City services in 2017
for the owner of a single-family home in Apple
Valley with an assessor’s market value of $224,100
was $80.40 per month. The tax cost per month of
$80.40 is the amount left requiring tax support
after allocatfng grants, program fees, lodging taxes
and other non-property tax revenue to the
appropriate services.
Quarterly Cost of Utilities
Based on an average usage of 21,000 gallons of water
and 15,000 gallons of sewer per quarter, the cost of
utflitfes for a home in Apple Valley was $131.56 in
2017. Apple Valley bills on a quarterly basis. Services
include water, sewer, storm water, and street lightfng.

Debt Service $4.22 Insurance $1.57
TOTAL
$80.40

General Fund Revenue
The City’s General Fund is the largest Governmental fund
and also one of the most vital to the City’s operatfon. The

On November 22, 2017, the C ity of Apple Valley received notice from the Minnesota
Department of Transportation (MnD O T ) regarding the results of a speed study along 157th
Street from the intersection of Finch Avenue and the intersection with Pilot Knob Road.
MnD O T completed an engineering and traffic investigation to determine reasonable and safe
speed limits for 157th Street (MSA S 113) between the intersection with Finch Avenue and
the intersection with Pilot Knob Road. Based on the results of the investigation, MnD O T
recommends authorization of the following speed limits for 157th Street (MSA S 113):
35 mph – Between the intersection with Finch Avenue and point approximately
1350 feet east of the intersection with Finch Avenue
40 mph – Between a point approximately 1350 feet east of the intersection with
Finch Avenue and the intersection with Pilot Knob Road
T he recommended 35 mph speed limit serves as a transition zone (transitioning from a more
urban area to a primary rural residential area).
Attached are the speed samples that were obtained for the speed study and a map showing
the statutory and the recommended speed limits (Figure: 1).

AC T I O N RE Q UE S T E D:
Adopt resolution approving 10' variance for 340 sq. ft. garage addition at 216 Edgewood
Lane (Lot 8, Block 1 Apple Valley Third Addition).
S UM M ARY:
A variance is requested at 216 Edgewood Lane to reduce the front yard setback from 30' to
20' (10' variance) to replace an existing single stall garage with 772 sq. ft. garage. Of the 340
sq. ft. addition, approximately 220 sq. ft. extends into the setback area. T he home was
constructed in 1965 with a single stall garage. T he garage and home were recently damaged
by fire and need significant repair. T he owner would like to reconstruct the garage
by constructing a two stall garage in front of the existing garage and then creating a tandem
garage stall connecting the front portion of the garage to the existing single garage stall.
T he property is located at the end of a loop street immediately south of Alimagnet Park. T he
home is located 36' from the front property line; the minimum front yard setback is 30'. T he
fact that the home is set back an additional 6' provides additional room in front of the home
for an addition. T he rear yard is heavily wooded with the elevation increasing 10' from the
back of the house to the rear property line. T he owner states that constructing the garage
behind the house isn't feasible.
Reconstructing and redeveloping existing properties is challenging and often requires some
degree of flexibility. Allowing a front yard variance will reduce the length of the driveway,
but with 36' of driveway remaining, more than sufficient room will remain for parking outside
on the driveway. C onstructing the garage in front of the house rather than behind the house
will minimize impervious surface area on the lot. T he garage addition will replace existing
impervious driveway. An addition to the rear of the home would require tree removal and
grading and increase the amount of impervious surface area on the lot.
It is staff's view that a single stall garage restricts the use of the property. A family in the
1960s might have functioned with little difficulty with a single stall garage. Today, most
families have at least two cars and need room for additional storage. T he variance request
will reasonably adapt the property for today's use without negatively impacting neighboring
properties.
B AC K G RO UND:
At its meeting of J une 20, 2018, the Planning C ommission voted unanimously to recommend
approval of the variance with conditions based on a number of findings. T he conditions and
findings have been incorporated into the draft resolution approving the variance.
Planning C ommission Findings:
1. T he home was constructed in 1965 with a single stall garage. A single garage stall
restricts the use of the property. T he variance is requested to make reasonable use of
the property.
2. T he existing garage is located 9' from the side property line. T here is insufficient space
available to construct a second garage stall beside the existing stall.
3. T he rear yard is heavily wooded and has a 10' elevation change to the rear lot line.
Constructing the garage on the rear of the home would require tree removal and
substantial grading.
4. T he front of the home is located 6' back from the minimum front setback line, providing
additional room for an addition to the front of the home.
5. Constructing the garage addition on the front of the home will create less site
disturbance and result in less impervious surface area than an addition on the rear of the
home.
6. T he C omprehensive Plan states: "T he City encourages the maintenance of property and
the reinvestment in existing homes. Improvements to existing homes must be compatible
in use, size, and scale with adjacent properties." T he proposed addition is a
reinvestment in the property to make the property suitable for today's homeowners.

Variance Review
Considerations:
Definition of “Practical difficulties”:
The applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the
zoning provisions of the code;
The plight of the applicant is due to circumstances unique to the property not created
by the applicant; and
The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties.
In order to grant a variance, the City considers the following factors to determine whether the
applicant established that there are practical difficulties in complying with the provision(s) of this
Chapter:
1. Special conditions apply to the structure or land in question that are particular to
the property and do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district or
vicinity in which the land is located;The granting of the proposed variance will not be
contrary to the intent of this chapter;The special conditions or circumstances do not
result from the actions of the owner/applicant;
4. The granting of the variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant,
but is necessary to alleviate practical difficulties in complying with the zoning
provisions of this Code; and
5. The variance requested is the minimum variance necessary to alleviate the practical
difficulty.
Planning Commission Action:
At its meeting of June 20, 2018, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend
approval of the variance with conditions. Below is the Planning Commission’s motion with the
conditions and findings:
Recommend approval of a variance at 216 Edgewood Lane to reduce the front yard setback
from 30' to 20’' (10' variance) to construct a 340 sq. ft. garage addition subject to compliance
with all City Codes and in accordance with the approved plans and the following conditions,
based on the findings listed below:
Conditions:
1. Owner shall submit overall reconstruction plans at the time of construction of the
garage to confirm size of house vs. size of garage.
2. At the time of application of the building permit, owner shall submit a calculation of
impervious surface coverage that demonstrates that impervious coverage is less than
35% of the lot area.
3. The variance allows the property owner to have a 3-stall garage on the property. No
other storage buildings may be constructed on the property.
4. Prior to any site work or tree removal, owner shall obtain a Natural Resources
Management Permit (NRMP) and shall comply with the NRMP ordinance
requirements.
5. The driveway grade may not exceed 10% slope. Owner shall modify plans as
required to meet the maximum 10% slope requirement.
Findings:
1. The home was constructed in 1965 with a single stall garage. A single garage stall
restricts the use of the property. The variance is requested to make reasonable use of
the property.
2. The existing garage is located 9' from the side property line. There is insufficient
space available to construct a second garage stall beside the existing stall.
3. The rear yard is heavily wooded and has a 10' elevation change to the rear lot
line. Constructing the garage on the rear of the home would require tree removal and
substantial grading.
4. The front of the home is located 6' back from the minimum front setback line,
providing additional room for an addition to the front of the home.
5. Constructing the garage addition on the front of the home will create less site
disturbance and result in less impervious surface area than an addition on the rear of
the home.
6. The Comprehensive Plan states: "The City encourages the maintenance of property and
the reinvestment in existing homes. Improvements to existing homes must be
compatible in use, size, and scale with adjacent properties." The proposed addition is a
reinvestment in the property to make the property suitable for today's homeowners.
The City's experience is that one property owner making a significant investment in his or her
property will encourage neighboring properties to make updates and improvements to their
homes. Edgewood Lane in scheduled to be reconstructed in the near future which will also
encourage property owners to update and improve their properties.

CITY OF APPLE VALLEY
RESOLUTION NO. 2018 -
A RESOLUTION APPROVING GRIER GARAGE VARIANCE
AND ATTACHING CONDITIONS THERETO
WHEREAS, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 462.357 the City of Apple Valley has adopted,
as Title XV of the City Code of Ordinances, zoning regulations to control land uses throughout the

the City Council from the literal provisions of the zoning regulations where unique conditions exist
which do not apply to the area in general; and
WHEREAS, MacGregor Grier and Elliot Grier filed an application for a variance to reduce
the front yard setback from 30’ to 20’ (10’ variance) for a newly constructed 340 sq. ft. garage
addition attached to their home located at 216 Edgewood Lane and legally described as: Lot 8,
Block 1, APPLE VALLEY THIRD ADDITION.
WHEREAS, the Apple Valley Planning Commission reviewed the variance request at a
public meeting held on June 20, 2018, and recommended approval of the variance based on the
following determinations:
1. The home was constructed in 1965 with a single stall garage. A single garage
stall restricts the use of the property. The variance is requested to make
reasonable use of the property.
2. The existing garage is located 9' from the side property line. There is insufficient
space available to construct a second garage stall beside the existing stall.
3. The rear yard is heavily wooded and has a 10' elevation change to the rear lot

4. The front of the home is located 6' back from the minimum front setback line,
providing additional room for an addition to the front of the home.
5. Constructing the garage addition on the front of the home will create less site
disturbance and result in less impervious surface area than an addition on the rear
of the home.
6. The Comprehensive Plan states: "The City encourages the maintenance of
property and the reinvestment in existing homes. Improvements to existing
homes must be compatible in use, size, and scale with adjacent properties." The
2
proposed addition is a reinvestment in the property to make the property suitable
for today's homeowners.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Apple Valley,
Dakota County, Minnesota, that a variance to construct a garage addition with a 20’ front setback
(10’ variance) on Lot 8, Block 1, APPLE VALLEY THIRD ADDITION is hereby approved,
subject to all applicable City Codes and standards and the following conditions:
1. If the Building Permit is not paid for and issued within one (1) year of the date of
approval, the variance approval shall lapse.
2. The variance is approved due to the findings as presented by the Planning

per hour. Watering to control dust shall occur as needed and whenever directed by
the Apple Valley Building Official or Zoning Administrator.
14. Issuance of a Building Permit and a final certificate of occupancy is contingent
upon the project being constructed in conformance with all the preceding conditions
as well as all applicable performance standards of the current zoning regulations. In
the event that a certificate of occupancy is requested prior to completion of all
required site improvements, a suitable financial guarantee in the amount of 125% of
the estimated cost of the unfinished improvements shall be required along with an
agreement authorizing the City or its agents to enter the premises and complete the
required improvements if they are not completed by a reasonably stipulated
deadline, with the cost of such City completion to be charged against the financial
guarantee.
15. The ongoing use and occupancy of the premises is predicated on the ongoing
maintenance of the structure and all required site improvements as listed in the
preceding. No alteration, removal, or change to the preceding building plans or
required site improvements shall occur without the express authorization of the

I, Pamela Gackstetter, City Clerk, hereby certify that the above resolution is a true and correct copy
of a resolution adopted by the City Council of the City of Apple Valley, Dakota County, Minnesota,
on the 12th day of July, 2018.
________________________________
Pamela J. Gackstetter, City Clerk
To whom it may concern,
The home at 216 Edgewood Ln was involved in a fire March 17th which destroyed the garage and
resulted in extensive damage to the rest of the house. We would like to take this opportunity while
rebuilding to expand the garage to fit two cars side by side. Because of where the house is situated on
the property we feel the best option is to build the garage in front of where the existing one car garage
was.
We are therefore requesting a 13 foot variance to the front setback to allow the garage to be built up to
17’ away from the west property line. If a 13’ variance is not approved we ask that a 10’ variance would
be considered. Although a 10’ variance would allow a 2-car garage to be built, it would require
borrowing some space from existing house which is not optimal.
The lot sits at the end of a street that gets very little traffic. We have discussed this proposal with the
neighbors and they did not bring up any objections. This is also the only house in the neighborhood with
a one car garage.

This Third Amendment to Lease Agreement (“Amendment”) is made as of the date set forth

(“Landlord”) and T-Mobile Central LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”).
Landlord and Tenant are jointly hereinafter referred to as the “Parties”.
RECITALS:
A. Landlord and Tenant entered into a Lease Agreement dated October 24, 2002 which lease
was amended on August 23, 2012 and December 23, 2014 (collectively the “Lease”), with
respect to Premises (as defined in the Lease) located at 8350 – 160th Street, Apple Valley,
Minnesota 55124 (“Property”).
B. Landlord and Tenant desire to enter into this Amendment in order to modify and amend
certain provisions of the Lease.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the facts set forth in the Recitals above, the mutual
covenants and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Installation of New Equipment. Effective as of the date this Amendment is fully
executed by both parties, Tenant is hereby allowed to remove, replace and install such additional
equipment as specifically set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein
(“Additional Equipment”). The Additional Equipment set forth on Exhibit A shall be
constructed and installed in accordance with the plans and specifications as set forth on Exhibit
A and in accordance with the rules and regulations of Landlord and state and local laws and
building codes. Except as set forth on Exhibit A, Tenant shall not be allowed to make any other
additions or replacements of any equipment or Antenna Facilities without Landlord’s prior
written consent. Nothing contained in this Amendment shall be deemed a waiver of any
provision(s) in the Lease that requires Tenant to obtain Landlord’s consent for any improvements
or changes to Tenant’s equipment in the future.
2. Construction Standards. All work to be performed by Tenant and its contractors, agents,
and employees shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the
MN Longridge
Page 2
Third Amendment to Lease Agreement Sub-ledger 20053008
plans and specifications set forth on Exhibit A. Tenant shall not be permitted in any material
way to vary its construction from the plans and specifications set forth on Exhibit A without
Landlord’s prior written consent.
Tenant shall pay for all work set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto to be performed upon the
Property and shall not allow a lien to attach to the Property. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Landlord from any and all costs, charges, liens, suits, actions, and expenses
including but not limited to attorney’s fees and court costs, (collectively, “Costs”) arising out of
or related to: (1) Tenant’s negligence or misconduct in the installation, use, operation,
maintenance and presence of the Additional Equipment, Tenant’s Antenna Facilities or any other
equipment of Tenant or its agents, contractors or assigns, except to the extent such Costs are
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, contractors or
employees; (2) Tenant’s, or tenant’s agent’s, contractor’s or employee’s entry or presence upon
the Property; and (3) any default, beyond any applicable cure periods, by Tenant under the Lease
and any amendments thereto. The terms and conditions of this paragraph shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease and this Amendment.
3. Cost of Review. Tenant shall be responsible for all reasonable costs of Landlord’s
inspection, installation, project management costs, review fees, staff time, and any and all other
fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in reviewing and approving Tenant’s application for this
Amendment of the Lease and any future amendments to the Lease. All such fees shall include
all attorneys’ fees, staff and administrative review time and third party consultant fees and
expenses all of which shall be at the expense of Tenant. All such fees and invoices must be paid
by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord sends Tenant an invoice for the
same. Any invoices or other sums owed to Landlord, under the Lease or this Amendment, which
are not paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after such sums become due and owing shall: (1)
be a material default under the Lease; and (2) bear interest at the lesser of fifteen percent (15%)
per annum or the maximum rate allowed by law. The terms of this paragraph shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
4. Failure to Remove Improvements. Upon termination of the Lease for any reason, Tenant
shall remove its Antenna Facilities (including all Additional Equipment) from the Property on or
before the date of termination, and shall repair any damage to the Property caused by such
equipment, normal wear and tear, and casualty excepted; all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense,
whether removed by Tenant or Landlord. Any such personal property or facilities which are not
removed on or before the date this Lease terminates shall, at Landlord’s option, be deemed
abandoned and become the property of Landlord. In the event Tenant leaves any personal
property, equipment or any portion of its facilities on the Property without Landlord’s written
consent, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of removing and disposing of the same.
Tenant shall be responsible for paying Base Rent and all other sums owed under this Lease until
MN Longridge
Page 3
Third Amendment to Lease Agreement Sub-ledger 20053008
such time that Landlord or Tenant has removed the Antenna Facilities from the Property. In the
event Landlord attempts to collect on any unpaid sums owed by Tenant under the Lease or this
Amendment or Landlord brings any other action to enforce the terms of the Lease, as amended,
Tenant shall be responsible for costs of collection including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees,
court costs, and expert witness fees whether or not Landlord files suit against Tenant. The terms
of this Section shall survive the termination or other expiration of this Lease.
5. Indemnification. Tenant further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless
from any and all claims, costs, penalties, fines, lawsuits, demands, and expenses, including
attorney’s fees and court costs, arising out of or related to any negligence or misconduct in any
entry upon the Property by Tenants agents, contractors, and employees, except to the extent
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, contractors and
employees. All indemnification obligations of Tenant as set forth in the Lease and his
Amendment shall survive the termination or expiration of the Lease. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Amendment, Tenant will not be liable to Landlord for, or indemnify
Landlord against, punitive, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including,
without limitation, loss of income or business opportunities.
6. Limitation of Landlord’s Liability; Early Termination. Landlord’s liability for damages
to Tenant under the Lease and this Amendment shall be limited to the actual and direct costs of
equipment removal and shall specifically exclude any recovery for value of the business of
Tenant as a going concern, future expectation of profits, loss of business or profit or related
damages to Tenant; provided, however, that this provision shall not prohibit an action by Tenant
for specific performance of this Lease or other equitable or injunctive relief, so long as there is
no monetary penalty or damage to Landlord.
7. No Waiver. Nothing contained in this Amendment shall be construed as waiving a
party’s right to insist that the other party comply with each and every provision of the Lease,
including, but not limited to Tenant’s obligation to seek Landlord’s approval before Tenant may
install or replace any equipment beyond that shown and identified in the exhibits to the Lease,

PAINTING NOTES:
A. Painting of all new items, and repair of all damaged areas of
the tower will be required. Surface preparation and painting
requirements are as follows:
B. Remove all surface contaminants in accordance with SSPC-SP-1
Solvent Cleaning. Do not use hydrocarbon solvents on surfaces
to be coated with water based coating.
C. Under the direction of the Engineer, spot repair the tank and
tower surfaces where the coating has been damaged by
structural repairs and modifications, to an SSPC-SP-10 Near
White Metal Blast Clean. This work includes all new items and
at other damaged by structural repairs or modifications.
Feather edges of existing coating, at spot blasted areas, using
SSPC-SP-3 Power Tool Cleaning methods.
D. Before any primer or coating is applied, metal surfaces shall be
completely dry, dust free, inspected and approved by the
Engineer.
E. No coating shall be permitted when the relative humidity is
expected to exceed 85% or temperature is expected to drop
below 40 degrees within 8 hours after the application of the
coating. Proceed with surface preparation and coating
application only when air and surface temperatures are
above the manufacturer's recommended minimum surface
temperature and below 100 degrees F, and surface temperature
is at least (5) degrees above wet bulb air temperature reading.
Coating shall not be applied to dusty, wet, or damp surfaces and
shall not be applied in rain, snow, fog, or mist. If working
conditions are questionable, the Engineer shall make the decision
and the Contractor shall accept the Engineer's interpretation as
final and binding.
F. Prime coat must be applied within 8 hours of abrasive blasting.
G. Apply by brush one (1) additional coat of primer to insure a
uniform coat of primer thoroughly worked into and around all
seams, welds, bolt assemblies, plate overlap seams, and other
irregularities in the surface.
H. Finish coat shall be uniform in color and sheen without streaks,
laps, runs, sags, or missed areas.
I. Antennas, exterior coax cables and exterior jumper cables to be
painted to match existing tank color. All items attached directly
to the tank, such as mounting brackets and supports, should be
painted to match existing tank coating system and color. Cables
may require scarification prior to coating.
J. Exposed coaxial cables: Solvent wipe all exposed cables, prior to
priming with the recommended solvent. Prime the cables and
jumper cables with (2) coats of X-I-M Coax Cable Bonder & Sealer
(Product No. 1138). Manufacturer's phone number is
(800) 262-8469. After priming, apply one (1) finish coat to the
cables as directed by the Engineer.

manufacturer. The coating system shall match the existing
coating system being applied to the tower. The exterior primer
shall be Tnemec Hydro-Zinc Series 90-H20 at 2.5-3.5 mils DFT.
The DFT of the primer at any individual spot measurement
location shall be 2.5 mils minimum. The first intermediate coat
shall be Tnemec Hi-Build Epoxoline Series 66 or Tnemec-Fascure
Series 161 at 4.0-6.0 mils DFT. The DFT of the primer plus first
intermediate coat at any individual spot location shall be 6.5 mils
minimum. The second intermediate coat shall be Tnemec
Endurashield II Series 1075 at 3.0-5.0 mils DFT. The DFT of the

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT
This Third Amendment to Lease Agreement (“Amendment”) is made as of the date set forth
below by and between the City of Apple Valley, a Minnesota municipal corporation
(“Landlord”) and T-Mobile Central LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”).
Landlord and Tenant are jointly hereinafter referred to as the “Parties”.
RECITALS:
A. Landlord and Tenant entered into a Lease Agreement dated November 25, 2008 which
lease was amended on August 23, 2012 and November 10, 2016 (collectively the
“Lease”), with respect to the Facility and Site (as defined in the Lease) located at 5551
160th St W., Apple Valley, Minnesota 55124 (“Property”).
B. Landlord and Tenant desire to enter into this Amendment in order to modify and amend
certain provisions of the Lease.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the facts set forth in the Recitals above, the mutual
covenants and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Installation of New Equipment. Effective as of the date that this Amendment is fully
executed by both parties, Tenant is hereby allowed to remove, replace and install such additional
equipment as specifically set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein
(“Additional Equipment”). The Additional Equipment set forth on Exhibit A shall be
constructed and installed in accordance with the plans and specifications as set forth on Exhibit
A and in accordance with the rules and regulations of Landlord and state and local laws and
building codes. Except as set forth on Exhibit A, Tenant shall not be allowed to make any other
additions or replacements of any equipment or Antenna Facilities without Landlord’s prior
written consent. Nothing contained in this Amendment shall be deemed a waiver of any
provision(s) in the Lease that requires Tenant to obtain Landlord’s consent for any improvements
or changes to Tenant’s equipment in the future.
2. Construction Standards. All work to be performed by Tenant and its contractors, agents,
and employees shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the
MN Quarry Point
Page 2
Third Amendment to Lease Agreement Sub-ledger 20053020
plans and specifications set forth on Exhibit A. Tenant shall not be permitted in any material
way to vary its construction from the plans and specifications set forth on Exhibit A without
Landlord’s prior written consent.
Tenant shall pay for all work set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto to be performed upon the
Property and shall not allow a lien to attach to the Property. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Landlord from any and all costs, charges, liens, suits, actions, and expenses
including but not limited to attorney’s fees and court costs, (collectively, “Costs”) arising out of
or related to: (1) Tenant’s negligence or misconduct in the installation, use, operation,
maintenance and presence of the Additional Equipment, Tenant’s Antenna Facilities or any other
equipment of Tenant or its agents, contractors or assigns, except to the extent such Costs are
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, contractors or
employees; (2) Tenant’s, or tenant’s agent’s, contractor’s or employee’s entry or presence upon
the Property; and (3) any default, beyond any applicable cure periods, by Tenant under the Lease
and any amendments thereto. The terms and conditions of this paragraph shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease and this Amendment.
3. Cost of Review. Tenant shall be responsible for all reasonable costs of Landlord’s
inspection, installation, project management costs, review fees, staff time, and any and all other
fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in reviewing and approving Tenant’s application for this
Amendment of the Lease and any future amendments to the Lease. All such fees shall include
all attorneys’ fees, staff and administrative review time and third party consultant fees and
expenses all of which shall be at the expense of Tenant. All such fees and invoices must be paid
by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord sends Tenant an invoice for the
same. Any invoices or other sums owed to Landlord, under the Lease or this Amendment, which
are not paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after such sums become due and owing shall: (1)
be a material default under the Lease; and (2) bear interest at the lesser of fifteen percent (15%)
per annum or the maximum rate allowed by law. The terms of this paragraph shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
4. Failure to Remove Improvements. Upon termination of the Lease for any reason, Tenant
shall remove its Antenna Facilities (including all Additional Equipment) from the Property on or
before the date of termination, and shall repair any damage to the Property caused by such
equipment, normal wear and tear, and casualty excepted; all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense,
whether removed by Tenant or Landlord. Any such personal property or facilities which are not
removed on or before the date this Lease terminates shall, at Landlord’s option, be deemed
abandoned and become the property of Landlord. In the event Tenant leaves any personal
property, equipment or any portion of its facilities on the Property without Landlord’s written
consent, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of removing and disposing of the same.
Tenant shall be responsible for paying Base Rent and all other sums owed under this Lease until
MN Quarry Point
Page 3
Third Amendment to Lease Agreement Sub-ledger 20053020
such time that Landlord or Tenant has removed the Antenna Facilities from the Property. In the
event Landlord attempts to collect on any unpaid sums owed by Tenant under the Lease or this
Amendment or Landlord brings any other action to enforce the terms of the Lease, as amended,
Tenant shall be responsible for costs of collection including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees,
court costs, and expert witness fees whether or not Landlord files suit against Tenant. The terms
of this Section shall survive the termination or other expiration of this Lease.
5. Indemnification. Tenant further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless
from any and all claims, costs, penalties, fines, lawsuits, demands, and expenses, including
attorney’s fees and court costs, arising out of or related to any negligence or misconduct in any
entry upon the Property by Tenants agents, contractors, and employees, except to the extent
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, contractors and
employees. All indemnification obligations of Tenant as set forth in the Lease and his
Amendment shall survive the termination or expiration of the Lease. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Amendment, Tenant will not be liable to Landlord for, or indemnify
Landlord against, punitive, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including,
without limitation, loss of income or business opportunities.
6. Limitation of Landlord’s Liability; Early Termination. Landlord’s liability for damages
to Tenant under the Lease and this Amendment shall be limited to the actual and direct costs of
equipment removal and shall specifically exclude any recovery for value of the business of
Tenant as a going concern, future expectation of profits, loss of business or profit or related
damages to Tenant; provided, however, that this provision shall not prohibit an action by Tenant
for specific performance of this Lease or other equitable or injunctive relief, so long as there is
no monetary penalty or damage to Landlord.
7. No Waiver. Nothing contained in this Amendment shall be construed as waiving a
party’s right to insist that the other party comply with each and every provision of the Lease,
including, but not limited to Tenant’s obligation to seek Landlord’s approval before Tenant may
install or replace any equipment beyond that shown and identified in the exhibits to the Lease,
Exhibit B-1 attached hereto and any other amendments to the Lease.
