Members of the City Council
City of Otsego, Minnesota
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Otsego for the year ended December 31, 1999 and
have issued our report thereon dated May 23, 2000.
Professional standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit
Our Responsibility Under Generally Accepted Auditing Standards and Government Auditing Standards
As stated in our engagement letter, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit
to obtain reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement and are fairly
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of the concept of reasonable assurance and
because we did not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material errors, fraud or other
illegal acts may exist and not be detected by us.
As part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the City. Such considerations were solely for the purpose of
determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control. However, we noted
certain matters involving internal control and its operation that we consider to be reportable conditions under standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our
attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal control that, in out -judgment, could
adversely affect the City's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with the assertions of
management in the financial statements.
A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control
components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that would be material in
relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the
normal course of performing their assigned functions.
Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that might be reportable
conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be a material
weakness, as defined above. However, we noted the following reportable condition that we believe is not a material weakness.
Segregation of Duties
Our study and evaluation disclosed that because of the limited size of your office staff, your organization has limited
segregation of duties. A good internal control structure contemplates an adequate segregation of duties so that no one
individual handles a transaction from inception to completion. While we recognize that your organization is not large
enough to permit an adequate segregation of duties in all respects, it is important, however, that you be aware of this
condition.
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we
performed tests of compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. However, the objective of
our tests was not to provide an opinion on compliance with such provisions. We noted no instances of noncompliance.

Significant Accounting Policies
City of Otsego
May 23, 2000
Page Two
Management has the responsibility for selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. In accordance with the terms of
our engagement letter, we will advise management about the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application.
The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the general purpose financial statements. No
new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during 1999. We noted no
transactions entered into by the City during the year that were both significant and unusual, and of which—under
professional standards—we are required to inform you, or transactions for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or
consensus.
Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the general purpose 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 general purpose financial statements and
because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected.
Significant Audit Adjustments
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a significant audit adjustment as a proposed correction of the general
purpose financial statements that, in our judgment, may not have been detected except through our auditing procedures. We
proposed no material audit adjustments.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not
resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting or auditing matter that could be significant to the
general purpose financial statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose
during the course of our audit.
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 general purpose financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those
statements, our professional standards require 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.
Issues Discussed Prior to Retention of Independent Auditors
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 responses were not a condition to our retention.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing our audit.
Other Matters
The following are items that came to our attention during the audit that we feel should be reviewed.

Financial Position and Results of Operations
General Fund
The fund balance increased $212,814 to finish at $800,718. The increase related mainly to favorable budget variances
in revenue. Actual revenue was $183,659 above budget and expenditures were $208,155 below budget. Favorable
variances allowed for transfers out of $179,000 above budget.
The City should maintain reserves at a level sufficient to provide working capital until major revenue sources are
received in July. The level needed equates to about 40% of planned expenditures. An adequate fund balance based on
the 1999 expenditures and transfers out of $1,252,267 is approximately $501,000. Based on this level, the City has an
adequate reserve.
An adequate fund balance is necessary for the following reasons:
Purposes and Benefits of a Fund Balance
• Expenditures are incurred somewhat evenly throughout the year. However, property tax and state aid revenues
are not received until the second half of the year. An adequate fund balance will provide the cash flow required
to finance the General Fund expenditures.
• The City is vulnerable to legislative actions at the State and Federal level. The State continually adjusts the local
government aid and property tax credit formulas. State imposed levy limits have also affected some cities. An
adequate fund balance will provide a temporary buffer against those aid adjustments and levy limits.
• Expenditures not anticipated at the time the annual budget was adopted may need immediate Council action.
These would include capital outlay replacement, lawsuits and other items. An adequate fund balance will provide
the financing needed for such expenditures.
• The City's bond rating is affected by its reserves. An adequate fund balance will help the City maintain or
improve its bond rating.
The 1999 operations are summarized as follows:

Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements — and
Management's Discussion and Analysis — for State and Local Governments
GASB Statement No. 34 is the result of an almost decade-long effort by GASB to reexamine the financial reporting
model for state and local governments. The most notable change is the presentation of a set of highly aggregated, "full
accrual" financial statements. At the same time, however, the Statement retains many familiar features of current
governmental financial reporting, in particular fund -based financial statements.
State and local governmental financial statement preparers and auditors will need to comprehend and implement a vast
number of changes in accounting and financial reporting. They will have to explain those changes to persons who are
unfamiliar with the particulars of accounting, much less the unique area of state and local governmental accounting.
The following are some specific areas that need to be addressed with the implementation of this new statement:
Timeline
GASB Statement No. 34 is effective in three phases based on the total annual revenues of the primary government's
governmental and proprietary funds, although earlier application is encouraged. The City is considered to be phase 3.
Therefore, the City is required to implement GASB Statement No. 34 for the calendar year ending 2004.
Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)
MD&A gives an objective and easily readable analysis of a government's financial activities based on currently known
facts, decisions, or conditions. It presents short- and long-term analyses of the government's activities, compares
current -year results with those of the prior year, and discusses the positive and negative aspects of that comparison.
Government -wide Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements are (1) a statement of net assets and (2) a statement of activities. The
statement of net assets presents the government's financial position at a point in time (like a balance sheet does); the
statement of activities presents its activities during a period (like an operating statement does). These statements present
highly aggregated information for the overall government; they do not display individual funds or fund types. They also
present financial information in separate rows and columns for the (1) primary government's aggregate governmental
activities, (2) primary government's aggregate business -type activities, (3) total primary government, and (4) discretely
presented component units.
Capital Assets
Capital assets are tangible and intangible assets that are used in operations that have initial useful lives longer than one
year. They include land and improvements, easements, buildings and improvements, equipment, and works of art and
historical treasures. Capital assets also include infrastructure assets — normally stationary capital assets that can be
preserved for significantly greater number of years than most capital assets. Infrastructure assets include roads, bridges
and tunnels; water, sewer and drainage systems; dams; lighting systems; and buildings that are an ancillary part of a
network of infrastructure assets. Capital assets are reported in the statement of net assets at historical cost (or estimated
fair value, if donated) and net of accumulated depreciation. They are depreciated in the statement of activities over their
estimated useful lives.
Infrastructure Assets
GASB Statement No. 34 applies prospectively to all general infrastructure assets beginning at the effective dates of the
Statement (or earlier, if the statement is implemented earlier). Governments are also encouraged to apply the Statement
retroactively to all existing major general infrastructure assets at that time. However, phase 1,2 governments need not
retroactively report those assets until calendar year 2006, 2007 — four years after their required implementation of Statement
No. 34. Phase 3 governments are encouraged but not required to report major general infrastructure assets retroactively.
If there are inadequate records of the actual historical cost of existing general infrastructure assets, governments can
estimate historical cost. They also may limit retroactive application to only those major general infrastructure assets that
were acquired or significantly reconstructed, or that received significant improvements, in fiscal years ending after June
30, 1980.

C Page Eight
The above gives you some general information on GASB Statement No. 34 implementation. We intend to educate and
work with all of our clients in developing a plan to implement this new statement. As a result of implementing this
statement, there will no doubt be additional fees for our services. These expected increases will most likely result from
additional time spent in the areas of (1) training, (2) account structure modifications to provide information necessary to
prepare financial statements, (3) accounting for fixed assets, infrastructure assets and related depreciation, and (4)
financial statement preparation. The more that the City staff can do in the areas of fixed asset accounting and proper
account structure will help in reducing these costs. We will help you as much as possible to accomplish this.
This report is intended solely for the use of management and Council. The comments and recommendations in the report are
purely constructive in nature, and should be read in this context.
Our audit would not necessarily disclose all weaknesses in the system because it was based on selected tests of the accounting
records and related data.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss any of the items contained in this letter, please feel free to contact us at your
convenience. We wish to thank you for the continued opportunity to be of service and for the courtesy and cooperation
extended to us by your staff.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Otsego, Minnesota
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the City of Otsego, Minnesota, as of and for the year
ended December 31, 1999 as listed in the table of contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of
the City of Otsego, Minnesota's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose financial
statements based on our audit.
Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
general purpose fmancial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The general purpose financial statements referred to above do not include the General Fixed Assets Account Group. The City
does not maintain detailed fixed asset records and the amount that should be recorded in the General Fixed Assets Account
Group is not known.
In our opinion, except for the effects on the general purpose financial statements of such adjustments, if any, as might have been
determined to be necessary had we audited the General Fixed Assets Account Group, the general purpose financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City of Otsego, Minnesota as of
December 31, 1999 and the results of its operations and the cash flows of its proprietary fund type for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 23, 2000 on our consideration of
the City's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts and grants.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.
The combining and individual fund financial statements listed in the table of contents are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the general purpose financial statements of the City of Otsego, Minnesota. Such
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general purpose financial statements and, in
our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Otsego operates under "Optional Plan A" as defined in the State of Minnesota statutes. The City is
governed by an elected mayor and four -member council The Council exercises legislative authority and
determines all matters of policy. The Council appoints personnel responsible for the proper administration of
all affairs relating to the City. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial
statements present the City and its component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially
accountable.
Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the City's operations and
so data from these units are combined with data of the primary government. The blended component unit has a
December 31 year end.
Blended Component Unit
The Economic Development Authority of the City was created pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 469.090 through
469.108 to carry out economic and industrial development and redevelopment consistent with policies
established by the City Council. The five member board consists of four Council Members and the Mayor.
The Authority may not exercise any of the powers enumerated by the authorizing statutes without prior
approval of the City Council. The activities of this fund are blended within the general fund.
B. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation
The accounts of the City are organized and operated on the basis of funds and account groups. A fund is an
independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self -balancing set of accounts. Fund accounting segregates
funds according to their intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance with
finance -related legal and contractual provisions. The minimum number of funds are maintained consistent
with legal and managerial requirements. Account groups are a reporting device to account for certain assets
and liabilities of the governmental funds not recorded directly in those funds.
The City has the following fund types and account groups:
Governmental funds are used to account for the City's general government activities. Governmental fund
types use the flow of current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of
accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to
accrual (i.e., when they are "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
pay liabilities of the current period. The City considers all revenues available if they are collected within 60
days after year end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for
unmatured interest on general long-term debt which is recognized when due, and certain compensated absences
and claims and judgments which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with
expendable available financial resources.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, interest and special assessments are susceptible to accrual. Other
receipts and taxes become measurable and available when cash is received by the government and are
recognized as revenue at that time.
The preparation of general purpose financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Entitlements and shared revenues are recorded at the time of receipt or earlier if the susceptible to accrual
criteria are met. Expenditure driven grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying expenditures have
been incurred and all other grant requirements have been met.
Governmental funds include the following fund types:
The general fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the City, except
those required to be accounted for in another fund.

CITY OF OTSEGO, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
The special revenue funds account for revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified
purposes (not including major capital projects).
The debt service funds account for the servicing of general long-term debt not being financed by proprietary
funds.
The capital projects funds account for the acquisition of fixed assets or construction of major capital projects
not being financed by proprietary funds.
Proprietaryfunds are accounted for on the flow of economic resources measurement focus and use the accrual
basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the
time liabilities are incurred. The City applies all applicable FASB pronouncements issued on or before
November 30, 1989 in accounting and reporting for its proprietary operations. Proprietary funds include the
following fund type:
Enterprise funds are used to account for those operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to
private business or where the Council has decided that the determination of revenues earned, costs incurred
and/or net income is necessary for management accountability.
Fiduciaryfunds account for assets held by the government in a trustee capacity or as an agent on behalf of
others.
The agency fund is custodial in nature and does not present results of operations or have a measurement focus.
Agency funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. This fund is used to account
for assets that the government holds for others in an agency capacity.
Account Group. The general long-term debt account group is used to account for general long-term debt and
certain other liabilities that are not specific liabilities of proprietary funds.
C. Assets, Liabilities and Equity
Deposits and Investments
The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term
investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
State statutes authorize the City to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, commercial paper, corporate
bonds, repurchase agreements and shares of investment companies registered under the Federal Investment
Company Act of 1940 and whose only investments are obligations guaranteed by the United States or its
agencies.
Investment cost was not materially different from fair value in either 1999 or 1998. As a result, investments
are stated at cost.
Property Taxes
The City Council annually adopts a tax levy and certifies it to the County for collection. The County is
responsible for collecting all property taxes for the City. These taxes attach an enforceable lien on taxable
property within the City on January 1 and are payable by the property owners in two installments. The taxes
are collected by the County Treasurer and tax settlements are made to the City during January, July, and
December each year.
Taxes payable on homestead property, as defined by State statutes, are partially reduced by a homestead and
agricultural credit aid. The credit is paid to the City by the State of Minnesota in lieu of taxes levied against
homestead property. The State remits this credit in two equal installments in July and December each year.
Delinquent taxes receivable include the past six years' uncollected taxes. Delinquent taxes have been offset by a
deferred revenue liability for delinquent taxes not received within 60 days after year end.
CITY OF OTSEGO, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
Special Assessments
Special assessments represent the financing for public improvements paid for by benefiting property owners.
These assessments are recorded as receivables upon certification to the County.
Special assessments are recognized as revenue when they are received in cash or within 60 days after year end.
All special assessments receivable are offset by a deferred revenue liability.
Receivables and Payables
Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end
of the fiscal year are referred to as either "interfund receivables/payables" (i.e., the current portion of interfund
loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other
outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds".
Fixed Assets
Property, plant and equipment in the proprietary funds of the City are recorded at cost. Property, plant and
equipment donated to these proprietary fund type operations are recorded at their estimated fair value at the
date of donation.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend
assets' lives are not capitalized in the proprietary funds.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized in proprietary funds as projects are
constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of proprietary fund fixed assets is reflected in the
capitalized value of the asset constructed, net of interest earned on the invested proceeds over the same period.
Property and equipment of the enterprise funds are stated at cost. When assets are retired or sold, the related
cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposition is
included in operations. Repair and maintenance expenditures are charged against operations while
expenditures which increase the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated. The property and
equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets which are as
follows:
Estimated
Assets Useful Life
Municipal well 40 years
Compensated Absences
Accumulated unpaid vacation pay at year end was not material and therefore, is not recorded as a liability in
the general long-term debt account group. Unused sick leave earned is not payable upon separation from the
City. Therefore, there is no liability for compensated absences at year end.
Long-term Obligations
The City reports long-term debt of governmental funds at face value in the general long-term debt account
group. Certain other governmental fund obligations not expected to be financed with current available
financial resources are also reported in the general long-term debt account group. Long-term debt and other
obligations financed by proprietary funds are reported as liabilities in the appropriate funds.

CITY OF OTSEGO, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
For governmental fund types, bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are recognized during
the current period. Bond proceeds are reported as an other financing source net of the applicable premium or
discount. Issuance costs, other than those withheld from the actual net proceeds received, are reported as debt
service expenditures. For proprietary fund types, bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized
over the life of the bonds using the straight line method. Issuance costs are reported as expense in the year
incurred.
Fund Equity
Reservations of fund balance represent amounts that are not appropriable or are legally segregated for a
specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to
change.
Memorandum Only - Total Columns
Total columns on the general purpose financial statements are captioned as "memorandum only" because they
do not represent consolidated financial information and are presented only to facilitate financial analysis. The
columns do not present information that reflects financial position, results of operations or cash flows in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Interfund eliminations have not been made in the
aggregation of this data.
Comparative Data/Reclassifications
Comparative total data for the prior year have been presented in the selected sections of the accompanying
financial statements in order to provide an understanding of changes in the City's financial position and
operations. Also, certain amounts presented in the prior year data have been reclassified in order to be
consistent with the current year's presentation.
Note 2: STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. Budgetary Information
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for the general
fund.
In August of each year, all departments of the City submit requests for appropriations to the City Administrator
so that a budget may be prepared. Before October 31, the proposed budget is presented to the City's council
for review. The council holds public hearings and a final budget is prepared and adopted in early December.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. The City's department heads may
make transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers of appropriations between departments
require the approval of the City Administrator. The legal level of budgetary control is the department level.
B. Deficit Fund Equity
The following funds had deficit fund balances as of December 31, 1999. The deficit in each fund will be
eliminated by future revenue sources.

DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS
A. Deposits and Investments
Cash balances of the City's funds are combined (pooled) and invested to the extent available in various
investments authorized by Minnesota State Statutes. Each fund's portion of this pool (or pools) is displayed on
the financial statements as "cash and investments." For purposes of identifying the risk of investing public
funds, the balances are categorized as follows:
Deposits
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes and as authorized by the City Council, the City maintains deposits at
those depository banks, all of which are members of the Federal Reserve System.
Minnesota Statutes require that all City deposits be protected by insurance, surety bond, or collateral. The
market value of collateral pledged must equal 110% of the deposits not covered by insurance or bonds (140%
in the case of mortgage notes pledged).
Authorized collateral includes the legal investments described below, as well as certain first mortgage notes,
and certain other State or local government obligations. Minnesota Statutes require that securities pledged as
collateral be held in safekeeping by the City or in a financial institution other than that furnishing the collateral.
At year end, the City's carrying amount of deposits was $2,518,766 and the bank balance was $2,714,538.
The bank balance was covered by federal depository insurance and by collateral held by the City's agent in the
City's name.
Investments
Investments are categorized into these three categories of credit risk:
1. Insured or registered, or securities held by the City or its agent in the City's name.
2. Uninsured and unregistered, with securities held by the counterparty's trust department or agent in the City's
name.
3. Uninsured and unregistered, with securities held by the counterparty, or by its trust department or agent
but not in the City's name.
At year end, the City's investment balances were as follows:

General Obligation Improvement Bonds
The following bonds were issued to finance various improvements and will be repaid primarily from special
assessments levied on the properties benefiting from the improvements. Some issues, however, are partly
financed by ad valorem tax levies. All special assessment debt is backed by the full faith and credit of the City.
Each year the combined assessment and tax levy equals 105% of the amount required for debt service. The
excess of 5% is to cover any delinquencies in tax or assessment payments.

DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS - STATEWIDE
A. Plan Description
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City are covered by defined benefit plans administered by
the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). PERA administers the Public Employees
Retirement Fund (PERF) which is a cost-sharing, multiple -employer retirement plan. This plan is established
and administered in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 353 and 356.
PERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated Plan members are
covered by Social Security and Basic Plan members are not. All new members must participate in the
Coordinated Plan.
PERA provides retirement benefits as well as disability benefits to members, and benefits to survivors upon
death of eligible members. Benefits are established by State Statute and vest after three years of credited
service. The defined retirement benefits are based on a member's highest average salary for any five successive
years of allowable service, age and years of credit at termination of service
Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERF'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 whose annuity
is calculated using Method 1, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal 90. A reduced
retirement annuity is also available to eligible members seeking early retirement.

CITY OF OTSEGO, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
to 4: DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS — STATEWIDE — CONTINUED
There are different types of annuities available to members upon retirement. A normal annuity is a lifetime
annuity that ceases upon the death of the retiree -- no survivor annuity is payable. There are also various types
of joint and survivor annuity options available which will reduce the monthly normal annuity amount, because
the annuity is payable over joint lives. Members may also leave their contributions in the fund upon
termination of public service in order to qualify for a deferred annuity at retirement age. Refunds of
contributions are available at any time to members who leave public service, but before retirement benefits
begin.
The benefit provisions stated in the previous paragraphs of this section are current provisions and apply to
active plan participants. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but are not receiving them
yet are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their public service.
PERA issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary
information for PERF. That report may be obtained by writing to PERA, 514 St. Peter Street, #200, St. Paul,
Minnesota 55102 or by calling (651) 296-7460 or 1-800-652-9026.
B. Funding Policy
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. These statutes are
established and amended by the state legislature. The City makes annual contributions to the pension plans
equal to the amount required by state statutes. PERF Basic Plan members and Coordinated Plan members are
required to contribute 8.75 and 4.75 percent, respectively, of their annual covered salary. The City is required
to contribute the following percentages of annual covered payroll; 11.43 percent for Basic Plan PERF
members and 5.18 percent for Coordinated Plan PERF members. The City's contributions to the Public
Employees Retirement Fund for the years ending December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $10,277, $9,796
and $10,783, respectively. The City's contributions were equal to the contractually required contributions for
each year as set by state statute.
)te 5: OTHER INFORMATION
A. Legal Debt Margin
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, the City may not incur or be subject to net debt in excess of two percent
of the market value of taxable property within the City. Net debt is payable solely from ad valorem taxes and
therefore, excludes debt financed partially or entirely by special assessments, enterprises fund revenues or tax
increments.
B. Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors
and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters for which the City carries insurance The City
obtains insurance through participation in the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) which is a
risk sharing pool with approximately 800 other governmental units. The City pays an annual premium to
LMCIT for its workers compensation and property and casualty insurance. The LMCIT is self sustaining
through member premiums and will reinsure for claims above a prescribed dollar amount for each insurance
event. Settled claims have not exceeded the City's coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.
Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated. Liabilities, if any, include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported
(IBNRs). The City's management is not aware of any incurred but not reported claims.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT OF
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Otsego, Minnesota
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Otsego, Minnesota as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and have issued our report thereon dated May 23, 2000. We conducted our audit in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. In our report, our opinion was qualified because the
General Fixed Assets Account Group was not audited.
Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we
performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants, 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 that are required to be reported under Government Auditing
Standards.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine
our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on
the internal control over financial reporting. However, we noted certain matters involving the internal control over financial
reporting and its operation that we consider to be reportable conditions. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our
attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control over financial reporting that, in our
judgment, could adversely affect the City's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with the
assertions of management in the financial statements.
We noted certain matters involving the internal control structure and its operation that we consider to be reportable conditions
under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Reportable conditions involve matters
coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control structure that, in our
judgment, could adversely affect the Utilities' ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with the
assertions of management in the general purpose financial statements.
Our study and evaluation disclosed that because of the limited size of your office staff, your organization has limited
segregation of duties. A good internal control structure contemplates an adequate segregation of duties so that no one
individual handles a transaction from inception to completion. While we recognize that your organization is not large enough
to permit an adequate segregation of duties in all respects, it is important, however, that you be aware of this reportable
condition.

A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not
reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial
statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of
performing their assigned functions. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily
disclose all matters in the internal control that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose
all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However, we believe the reportable condition
described above is not a material weakness.
We also noted other matters involving the internal control over financial reporting that we have reported to management of the
City in a separate letter dated May 23, 2000.
This report is intended solely for the use of the City Council, management and the Office of the State Auditor and should not
be used for any other purpose. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report, which is a matter of
public record.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON LEGAL COMPLIANCE
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Otsego, Minnesota
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Otsego, Minnesota as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1999, and have issued our report thereon dated May 23, 2000. In our report, our opinion was qualified because
the General Fixed Assets Account Group was not audited.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the provisions of the Minnesota Legal
Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government promulgated by the Legal Compliance Task Force pursuant to Minnesota
Statute Sec. 6.65. Accordingly, the audit included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances.
The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government covers five main categories of compliance to be tested:
contracting and bidding, deposits and investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, claims and disbursements. Our
study included all of the listed categories.
The results of our tests indicate that for the items tested, the City complied with the material terms and conditions of applicable
legal provisions. Further, for the items not tested, based on our audit and the procedures referred to above, nothing came to
our attention to indicate that the City had not complied with such legal provisions.
This report is intended solely for the use of the City Council, management and the Office of the State Auditor and should not
be used for any other purpose. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report, which is a matter of
public record.
