11 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of St. Paul Park 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 St. Paul Park, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. The prior year comparative information has been derived from the City's 2011 financial statements and, in our report dated June 27, 2012, we expressed unqualified opinions on the respective financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information. 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and 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 entity s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting principles 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. 1

12 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of St. Paul Park Page 2 Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of St. Paul Park, as of December 31, 2012, 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 conformity 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 on pages 3 through 13 and the Schedule of Funding Progress Other Post- Employment Benefits on page 73 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 appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City of St. Paul Park's financial statements. The introductory section and combining nonmajor fund financial statements listed in the Financial Section of the Table of Contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining nonmajor fund financial statements are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining nonmajor fund financial statements are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory section has not been subjected 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. Maplewood, Minnesota June 12,

13 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As management of the City of St. Paul Park, we offer readers of the City of St. Paul Park's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of St. Paul Park for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, with comparative data for the fiscal year ended December 31, FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The assets of the City of St. Paul Park exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $20,844,909 (net position). Of this amount, $3,578,837 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the City s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors in accordance with the City s fund designations and fiscal policies. The City s total net position increased by $1,547,843. As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of St. Paul Park governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $3,507,987. The amount of these fund balances that was restricted was $2,268,434, the nonspendable amount (related to prepaid expenses) was $10,572 and the assigned amount was $373,625. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned and assigned fund balance for the general fund was $1,575,268 or 63 percent of total general fund expenditures. The City of St. Paul Park increased long-term liabilities by $223,574 during the current fiscal year, primarily due to the issuance of the 2012 General Obligation Improvement Bonds. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City of St. Paul Park's basic financial statements. The City of St. Paul Park's basic financial statements are comprised of the following three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of St. Paul Park's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all of the City of St. Paul Park's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of St. Paul Park 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 the 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). 3

14 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of St. Paul Park that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City of St. Paul Park include general government, public safety, highways and streets, compost, and parks and recreation. The business-type activities of the City of St. Paul Park include the sewer and water funds. The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages of this report. Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of St. Paul Park, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of St. Paul Park can be divided into two categories: governmental 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 nearterm 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 financial requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The City of St. Paul Park maintains twenty-two individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General fund, the Tax Increment Funds District 2 fund, the Improvement Bonds of 2009-A fund, the Improvement Bonds of 2011-A fund and the 2007 Street Reconstruction fund, which are considered to be major funds. Individual fund data for the other seventeen nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The City of St. Paul Park adopts an annual budget for its general fund. Budgetary comparison statements have been provided for this fund (page 30) to demonstrate compliance with the budget. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages of this report. Proprietary funds. The City of St. Paul Park maintains one type of proprietary fund which is enterprise funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as businesstype activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City of St. Paul Park uses enterprise funds to account for its sewer and water operations. 4

15 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 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 sewer and water funds, which are considered to be major funds of the City of St. Paul Park. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages of this report. Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages of this report. Other information. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds can be found on pages of this report. IMPORTANT REMINDERS: Infrastructure Assets. The City of St. Paul Park implemented GASB Statement 34 for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and elected to record infrastructure assets prospectively, rather than retroactively for general government activities. Historically, governmental fixed assets, particularly infrastructure assets, have only been accounted for using the current financial resources (budgeted resources) method, and have not been expensed annually through depreciation or accounted for otherwise. Additionally, significant infrastructure assets have been constructed by developers and contributed to the City over the years but have never been recorded. All 2004 and future acquisitions of infrastructure assets have and will be recorded under the GASB Statement 34 reporting model. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government s financial position. In the case of the City of St. Paul Park, assets exceeded liabilities by $20,844,909 at the close of the most recent fiscal year. The largest portion of the City of St. Paul Park's net position ($14,997,638 or 72 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, machinery and equipment) less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City of St. Paul Park uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City of St. Paul Park's investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. 5

16 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS City of St. Paul Park's Net Position Governmental Activities Business-type Activities Total Current and other assets $ 5,761,854 $ 5,665,575 $ 939,821 $ 725,796 $ 6,701,675 $ 6,391,371 Capital assets 17,066,255 16,172,210 1,944,664 1,305,929 19,010,919 17,478,139 Total assets 22,828,109 21,837,785 2,884,485 2,031,725 25,712,594 23,869,510 Long-term liabilities outstanding 4,343,280 4,129,606 86,522 76,622 4,429,802 4,206,228 Other liabilities 402, ,377 35,813 61, , ,216 Total liabilities 4,745,350 4,433, , ,461 4,867,685 4,572,444 Net position: Invested in capital assets, net of related debt 13,052,974 12,360,236 1,944,664 1,305,929 14,997,638 13,666,165 Restricted 2,268,434 2,638,090 2,268,434 2,638,090 Unrestricted 2,761,351 2,405, , ,335 3,578,837 2,992,811 Total net position $ 18,082,759 $ 17,403,802 $ 2,762,150 $ 1,893,264 $ 20,844,909 $ 19,297,066 An additional portion of the City of St. Paul Park's net position (11 percent) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position ($3,578,837) may be used to meet the government s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of St. Paul Park is able to report positive balances in all categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its business-type activities. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year. Governmental activities. Governmental activities account for 87% of the City of St. Paul Park's net position. The total increase in net position for governmental activities was $678,957, accounting for 44% of the growth in the net position of the City of St. Paul Park. Key elements of this increase are as follows: Property taxes increased by $101,797 (4.9 percent) from the previous year. Capital grant contributions for governmental activities increased by $67,718, primarily due to emergency management grants received which furnished resources for capital expenditures of the public safety and parks and recreation functions. 6

17 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Business-type activities. Business-type activities increased the City of St. Paul Park's net position by $868,886, accounting for 56% of the growth in the net position of the City of St. Paul Park. This increase is due primarily to the contribution of water and sewer infrastructure from the governmental funds. During the year, a utility rate study was completed and it was determined that an increase in rates was necessary. The increased rates were implemented in October 2012 to ensure adequate cash balances are maintained for the payment of operating expenses and annual ongoing capital maintenance. City of St. Paul Park's Change in Net Position Governmental Activities Business-type Activities Total Revenues: Program revenues: Charges for services $ 873,868 $ 827,852 $ 1,208,305 $ 1,072,800 $ 2,082,173 $ 1,900,652 Operating grants and contributions 198, , , ,702 Capital grants and contributions 954, , ,352 4,793 1,683, ,748 General revenues: Property taxes 2,175,682 2,073,885 2,175,682 2,073,885 Grants and contributions not restricted to specific programs 146, , , ,953 Other 169, ,272 2,231 3, , ,003 Total revenues 4,518,353 4,407,619 1,938,888 1,081,324 6,457,241 5,488,943 Expenses: General government 576, , , ,214 Public safety 1,343,122 1,270,757 1,343,122 1,270,757 Highways and streets 1,487, ,730 1,487, ,730 Compost 10,255 11,595 10,255 11,595 Parks and recreation 315, , , ,911 Interest on long-term debt 123, , , ,775 Sewer and water 1,054,202 1,042,082 1,054,202 1,042,082 Total expenses 3,855,196 3,182,982 1,054,202 1,042,082 4,909,398 4,225,064 Increase (decrease) in net position before transfers 663,157 1,224, ,686 39,242 1,547,843 1,263,879 Transfers 15,800 (15,800) Increase in net position 678,957 1,224, ,886 39,242 1,547,843 1,263,879 Net position, beginning of year 17,403,802 16,179,165 1,893,264 1,854,022 19,297,066 18,033,187 Net position, end of year $ 18,082,759 $ 17,403,802 $ 2,762,150 $ 1,893,264 $ 20,844,909 $ 19,297,066 7

18 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Below are specific graphs that provide comparisons of the governmental activities direct program revenues with their expenditures. Any shortfalls in direct revenues are primarily supported by property tax levy or general state aid. Expenses and Program Revenues - Governmental Activities Program revenues Expenses $1,600,000 $1,400,000 $1,200,000 $1,000,000 $800,000 $600,000 $400,000 $200,000 $0 General government Public safety Highways and streets Compost Parks Revenues by Source - Governmental Activities Grants and contributions not restricted to specific programs 3% Interest and other 4% Charges for services 19% Property taxes 48% Capital grants and contributions 21% Operating grants and contributions 5% 8

19 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The following graphs relate the business-type activity s program revenues with its expenditures. Since this activity requires significant physical assets to operate, any excess revenues are held for planned capital expenditures to keep pace with growing demand for services. Expenses and Program Revenues - Business-type Activities Program revenues Expenses $1,000,000 $900,000 $800,000 $700,000 $600,000 $500,000 $400,000 $300,000 $200,000 $100,000 $0 Water Sewer Revenues by Source - All Business-type Activities Capital grants and contributions 38% Interest and other 0% Charges for services 62% 9

20 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Financial Analysis of the Government s Funds As noted earlier, the City of St. Paul Park uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Governmental funds. The focus of the City of St. Paul Park's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City of St. Paul Park'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 of St. Paul Park's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $3,507,987, an increase of $18,239 from the prior year. Approximately 35 percent of total fund balance, or $1,228,981, constitutes assigned and unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the government s discretion. The remainder of the fund balance ($2,279,006) is restricted or nonspendable to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been restricted by creditors, grantors or regulations of other governments or has been expensed for prepaid items. The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City of St. Paul Park. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance of the general fund was $1,513,717. 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 61 percent of total general fund expenditures. The fund balance of the City of St. Paul Park's general fund improved by $224,781 during the current fiscal year. The main factor for the General fund's change in fund balance was an increase in general property taxes collected. The Tax Increment Funds District 2 fund decreased its fund balance by $558,815 due primarily to capital outlay expenditures for infrastructure improvements in excess of property taxes collected. The Improvement Bonds of 2009-A fund decreased its fund balance by $51,413 due primarily to scheduled bond payments in excess of property taxes and special assessments collected in the fund. The Improvement Bonds of 2011-A fund balance increased by $134,710 due mainly to the receipt of levied special assessments in excess of scheduled debt service payments. The fund balance of the 2007 Street Reconstruction fund increased by $65,375 due to the receipt of levied special assessments. The special revenue funds increased their collective fund balance by $57,128. This was mainly due to charges for services in the storm water management fund in excess of current expenditures in the funds. 10

21 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The debt service funds, other than the Tax Increment Funds District 2, Improvement Bonds of 2009-A and Improvement Bonds of 2011-A funds described previously, increased their overall fund balances by $38,038 due primarily to collections of property taxes, special assessments and intergovernmental revenue in excess of scheduled debt service expenditures. The capital project funds, other than the 2007 Street Reconstruction fund described previously, increased their collective fund balance by $108,435 due primarily to the proceeds from the issuance of the 2012 General Obligation Improvement Bonds. Proprietary funds. The City of St. Paul Park's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. Unrestricted assets for water operations at the end of the year amounted to $565,412, and those for sewer operations amounted to $252,074. The total growth in net position for both funds was $497,156 and $371,730, respectively. Other factors concerning the finances of these two funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the City of St. Paul Park's business-type activities. General Fund Budgetary Highlights Differences between the original budget and the final amended budget for the General fund amounted to $16,352. Main components of the change include the elimination of a budgeted transfer of $35,000 and increased appropriations that totaled $20,648 for carryover projects from the prior year, severance payments and fire department wages. Additional amendments were made to the budget to account for various grants awarded during the year. Those grants increased appropriations for training of firefighters, the modernization of a fire boat, repairs to a local park and recycling program expenditures. Major variances between the final amended budget and actual amounts consist of the following: Other general government revenues exceeded budget by $35,751 due primarily to the receipt of unanticipated insurance dividends. Expenditures for general government contracted services, including legal, engineering, planning, and building inspection, were less than budget by $31,943. Though expenditures for contracted services remained low in 2012, the budget for contracted services has been maintained at the actual three-year high (with limited exceptions) to allow for unanticipated need. Salaries and benefits for police were less than budget by $35,749 due, in part, to salary savings realized with a temporary vacancy and budgeted set-aside of funds for future retirements. Capital Asset and Debt Administration Capital assets. The City of St. Paul Park's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of December 31, 2012, amounts to $19,010,919 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings and systems, improvements, machinery and equipment, park facilities, roads, and highways. The total increase in the City of St. Paul Park's reported investment in capital assets for the current fiscal 11

22 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS year was $1,532,780, or 9 percent. This increase is primarily a result of current year construction in progress related to the 2012 street and utility improvements project and completion of the 2011 street and utility improvements project. City of St. Paul Park Capital Assets (net of depreciation) Governmental Activities Business-type Activities Total Land $ 1,296,373 $ 1,307,833 $ 39,000 $ 39,000 $ 1,335,373 $ 1,346,833 Construction in progress 996,720 2,422, ,720 2,422,435 Buildings 1,862,816 1,739,010 1,830,671 1,173,815 3,693,487 2,912,825 Improvements other than buildings 126,533 58, ,533 58,593 Machinery and equipment 736, ,081 74,993 93, , ,195 Infrastructure 12,047,114 10,217,258 12,047,114 10,217,258 Total $ 17,066,255 $ 16,172,210 $ 1,944,664 $ 1,305,929 $ 19,010,919 $ 17,478,139 Additional information on the City of St. Paul Park's capital assets can be found in Note 3C on pages of this report. Long-term debt. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of St. Paul Park had $4,098,000 in bonds and certificates outstanding. The entire $4,098,000 outstanding comprises debt backed by the full faith and credit of the government. City of St. Paul Park's Outstanding Debt General Obligation Bonds and Certificates Governmental Activities Business-type Activities Total General obligation bonds $ 4,000,000 $ 3,740,000 $ $ $ 4,000,000 $ 3,740,000 General obligation certificates 98, ,500 98, ,500 Total $ 4,098,000 $ 3,884,500 $ $ $ 4,098,000 $ 3,884,500 The City of St. Paul Park's total bonds and certificates payable increased by $213,500 during the current fiscal year. The increase was due primarily to the issuance of the City s 2012 General Obligation Improvement Bonds.
