GENERAL INFORMATION.
Senator Grow spoke at a political campaignin Anoka that year, and the town name was changed to reflect Senator Grow because
of his strong advocacy of the Union cause. At that time, the population was 330 and included the geographical area we know today
as Ham Lake. In fact, the area of Ham Lakewas considered a part of Grow Township until 1871.
In 1972, the Grow Township Board of Supervisors recognized that the town was growing at a very rapid rate. They felt a village

City of Andover, Minnesota
a
research reveals that the name Andover first appeared in an article dated March 14, 1899 in the Anoka County Union Newspaper -
before train tracks were ever built in the city.
The article stated that the Eastern Minnesota line of the Great Northern Railway was in the process of constructing railroad tracks
from the Coon Creek Cut-off to the North. The railway announced that new railroad stations with mathematical precision were to
be located five miles apart from each other. Thenew stations (from Coon Creek to the North, along the new railroad line) were to
be named Andover, Cedar, Bethel, Isanti, Cambridge, Stanchfield, Braham, Grasston, Cornell, and Brook Park. On July 4, 1899,
the first train passed through the Andover station.Where the railway came up with the name Andover still remains unknown.
Andover Village was established in 1972 and then became the City of Andover, a city of the fourth class, in 1974. Today the City
ing it as a second class city.
The City of Andover as it exists today consists of 23,040 acres. Andover has a population estimated at 33,000. A growing suburb
of the northern metropolitan area, the City of Andover is approximately sixteen miles from Minneapolis.

ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
Moderate population growth is expected to continue in 2020and 2021, with an estimated population of 33,300by 2020. The rate
of residential growth as compared to the growth in the 19has significantly declined as the availability of
residentially zoned property decreased. The City has experienced a significant amount of commercial growth from 2000 through
current 2019.Continual commercial growth is anticipated over the next coupleyears, beyond that growth will slow as the amount
of undeveloped commercially zoned property also declines.
The City's General Fund has two major categories of revenue, which accounted for 85% of the total in 2018. They are general
property taxes at 73%and charges for services at 9%. In prior years, intergovernmental revenue was the second largest category
of revenue for the General Fund. Intergovernmental revenue includes state aids, such as local government aid (LGA), market value
homestead credit (MVHC), highway maintenance aid, fire relief aid and police aid; and county grants, such as recycling and
community development.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Andover, Minnesota
During the past several years, the State of Minnesota has made numerous changes to laws pertaining to the distribution of LGA,
Homestead and Agricultural Credit Aid (HACA) and MVHC resulting in significant reductionsin intergovernmental revenue.
The City has beenable to make up this loss in aid through operational efficiencies and an increased tax levy, the most substantial
increasein the local tax rate took place in 2002. The tax laws that resulted in the 2002change also greatly reduced school district
property tax levies, resulting in no net tax increase for most residential property owners. Sweeping changes approved in 2003
resulted in the loss of approximately $590,000 in aid to Andover, that loss in aid was originally intended to be for two years (2003
& 2004) but that loss was extended to include years 2005 and 2006. The state allowed cities the ability to levy up to 60% of the
lost 2003 aid in 2004. Again, in 2008through 2012, the State of Minnesota significantly reduced MVHC to help deal with the
state budget deficit.In 2013, the State eliminated MVHC and instituted the new market value exclusion program.
In 2014, LGA wasreinstated for the City in the amount of $74,655. Due to the unpredictability of the State, those funds wereused
to help offsetthe growing needs of the Road and Bridge Capital Projects Fund for street improvements/replacements.The City is
not intending to rely on this funding for general operational needs.In 2015,LGA was eliminated again for the City.In 2016, the
City received $2,706 in LGA.In 2017, 2018and 2019, it was eliminated again for the City.
For 1998 through 2000, cities with populations over 2,500 were under levy limit restrictions imposed by the State. Levy limits
severely curb the ability of cities to generate additional tax revenue needed to respond to an increasing demand for services. For
1999 and 2000, the levy limit formula was modified to allow for increases based on commercial and industrial growth. This wasa
favorable change for Andover, as the City experienced a surge in commercial growth during that period. Levy limits were lifted
for 2001 but were reinstated for 2002 -2004. The 2004 levy limits were so severe that the State did not allow cities the ability to
capture residential and commercial market value growth. Levy limits were liftedfrom 2005 to2008, but reinstated for 2009 and
are still in place in some formyet today.

Revenue from residential building continued to modestly increase from2010to2013,but it is unlikely that those revenues will
as a reduced number of new residential lots are being added to the overall lot inventory. From
2010to 2013, the home building market showed signs of improvement andsome commercial activity taking placeaccounted for
the increase in permit revenue.In 2014, there was a decrease in both residential and commercial activity.There was a slight
increase in construction activity in 2015.In 2016, there was an increase in both residential and commercial construction.In 2017,
there was a decrease in single-family building permits issued going from 111 permits in 2016 to 94 in 2017.The decline in single-
family building permits continued in 2018 to a total of 60, but commercial permit valuations exceeded 2017 by over $10,000,000
thus the increase in 2018.The increase in 2019 is due to single-family building permits reaching 116, nearly double of 2018. There
was a lot of commercial activity as well with the school district and city starting expansion projects.

The City analyzes user fees every year as part of the budget process and makes adjustments where appropriate. From2010to2013,
the home building market showed signs of improvement and some commercial activity taking place accounted for the increase in
plan review revenue.In 2014, the decrease in both residential and commercial activity resulted in a decrease as compared to 2013.
A reduction in the scope of roadway projects accounted for a large part of the reduction in 2015 for engineering fees chargedas
compared to 2014.The increase in 2016 pertains to plan check fees associated with the increase in construction activity and
engineering fees charged to roadway projects.The slight decline in 2017 relates to the decrease in housing permits issued as
compared to 2016.The increase in 2018 pertains to plan check fees associated with the commercial construction activitytaking
place.The increase in 2019 is due to single-family building permits reaching 116, nearly double of 2018. There was a lot of
commercial activity as well with the school district and city starting expansion projects.
In 2019, the City issued 116new single-family building permits with a total valuation of $37,258,814compared to 60new single-
family building permits with a total valuation of $19,703,856the prior year. The past ten years are shown below:

architectural firms to start the design for a Public Works Maintenance Facility, cold storage building and to explore a
potential expansion of the Andover YMCA/Community Center. Both projects completed design in 2018. The Public
Works component (Maintenance Facility, Fleet Storage Building and Vehicle Wash Bay) was out for bid in late 2018
and a bid awarded for construction in early 2019 with a $10.5 million budget. The Community Center Expansion
design continued throughout 2018, the project (a new sports complex with elevated walking track, additional
fieldhouse court, team training space, youth center, remodeled Community Rooms, added meeting spaces and
expanded parking) was out for bid in early 2019 and a bid awarded for construction in late Spring 2019 with a $17.9
million budget.
6)In 2018, working with the Anoka County Parks Department, two new outdoor gathering spaces at the Bunker Hills
Activities Center started construction. The first area will remove the current ramps on the south side of the building
and replace it with a 120-person capacity deck. This will provide additional space for meetings, family gatherings,
weddings, and other events. The second area converts the existing greenhouse into an exterior patio area accessible
from the inside as well as the outside. This project started in 2018 and was completed in 2019.
7)In 2017 and 2018, the City of Andover, in cooperation with the Anoka County Highway Department, worked through
the planning of the HansonBoulevard expansion and reconstruction. Right of Way clearing and utility work took
place in 2018 with full construction of Phase 1 in 2019, Phase 2 will be underway and completed in 2020. This project
is financed primarily by a federal grant. Trails and intersection improvements are also constructed as part of the project
phases.
8)The City of Andover EDA went through the public hearing process in 2011 to modify the City Development Plan to
create redevelopment areas of the community and to facilitate the opportunity to acquire dilapidated and substandard
multi-family homes within specified target areas. The EDA was successful in acquiring one 4-plex property in
November of 2011 to start the redevelopment process with hopes of continuing to add to the critical land mass
necessary to start marketing for a redevelopment project. In late 2017 the EDA was successful in acquiring three more
4-plex properties and one additional 4-plex in 2018. The EDA continues to pursue the acquisition of properties in the
redevelopment areas from willing sellers.
9)In 2016, City Staff started work with the State of Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources on a wetland
restoration of the old Woodland Creek Golf Course parcel. The City acquired the old 74-acre golf course in late 2013,
subsequently a 6-acre parcel was sold to a developer and a 6-unit subdivision called Shadow Ponds was the outcome.
The remaining acreage was to be restored to a wetland with passive nature trails. Construction bids were received in
late 2016 with the first phase of construction completed the summer and fall of 2017. Other restoration elements
continued into 2019 and the trails were open to the public in the summer of 2019.
10)Andover residents continue to have one of the highest recycling rates per person for all recyclable materials in Anoka
County. In 2014, the City added a new Recycling Center to expand the current recycling opportunities for Andover
residents. In 2019, the City hosted monthly recycling events (on weekends), generally with a specific focus, such as
paper shredding and appliance or electronics collection.
11)A strategic planning session was held with the City Council, a final Council Community Vision and Organization
Goals and Values document was approved at the July 7, 2015 City Council meeting. Direction provided in that
document has been integrated into various department work plans and budgets. As part of the 2020 Budget
Development process the Council participated in a new strategic planning process throughout 2019 updating the
Council Community Vision and Organization Goals and Values document.
12)The City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the year ended December 31, 2018 was awarded the
document internally and recognized significant cost savings in the form of reduced financial consulting fees. This is
December 31, 2019 will also achieve this award.

inancial plan and as a
communications device.

educational materials and checklists on how to inspect and maintain the exterior of the property, a list of potential
ordinance violations that may occur with a rental property, and an exterior inspection of the building and grounds with

city staff. This program was authorized by the Andover City Council in 2009 and is reviewed annually, there were
close to 260 single family rental licenses issued throughout the City in 2019.
15)The City continues to make significant progress on the process of digitally imaging documents retained, this includes
standard and legal documents and large construction plandocuments. The imaging project has helped the City reduce
staffing through data storage retrieval efficiencies, eliminated the need for office expansion and has expedited City
research projects.
16)The City continues to utilize updates to our financial management software to improve reporting and operating
efficiencies. These updates continue to yield reduced personnel costs and more timely reports. In 2019, the City saw
increased growth in the number of online and counter credit card payments for various City permits and services.
FOR THE FUTURE. The City continues to focus on quality of life improvements throughout the City. These efforts cover a
broad array of areas including:protecting and improving the environment, revitalization of parks and public areas, expanding
recreational opportunities, providing cost-effective city services, increased communication between city representatives and the
public and added commercial/retail opportunities.
The Cityutilizes many avenues to reach its residents, whether through community access television, electronic reader boards, the
City newsletter,Facebook, Twittergov). It is important to the City that our residents are
informed and have the ability to participate in the activities of their City. The City did conduct a community survey in 2006, with
the help of a polling firm, to secure opinions and suggestions from the public.The City initiatedand completeda community
survey in early 2014, the City received very high marks.
RELEVANT FINANCIAL POLICIES
The City has a policy regarding General Fund reserve balances. The City plans for anunassignedfund balance in the General Fund
equivalent to 6--annual property tax
settlements. Since the property tax settlements are received by the City in July and December,the City needs sufficient cash
reserves to avoid short-term borrowing to finance operations. The City also classifiesfund balances for prepaid items, inventories
and other legal obligations. The City may also classifya portion of fund balance for special purposes.
ring the
year is invested in certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and obligations of the U.S. Treasury and government agencies. Cash
balances from all City funds are pooled into an investment fund and investment income is distributed on a pro-rata basis at the end
of each quarter.Extended maturities are utilized to take advantage of higher yields but staggered in a way to meet projected
liquidity needs.
Capital financing for major improvements is provided through improvement bonds, general obligation bonds, tax increment bonds,
or revenue bonds. Depending on the project, special assessments may be levied upon properties to share in the cost of the
improvement project. The special assessments are collected over a period of time and are used to help satisfy the improvement
bond debt orreimburse the fund used to finance the project.
The City Council has also adopted financial management policies in order to allow for the planning of adequate funding of services
desired by the public, to manage City finances wisely, and to carefully account for public funds. These policies are reviewed each
year when the annual budget is adopted. The financial management policies included: operating budget policies; revenue policies;
accounting, auditing and financial reporting policies; investment policies; debt policies; capital improvement policies; and risk
management policies.
and is continually evaluated to assure the adequacy of internal accounting controls. Internal accounting controls are designed to
provide reasonable but not absolute assurance in the areas of: safeguarding assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition,
reliability of financial records, and convenience of access for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for
assets. The concept of reasonable assurance adopted by the City Council recognizes that the evaluation of cost and benefits requires
estimates and judgments by management, and the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived. All internal

Overview of the Financial Statements
sic financial
statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial
statements. This report also contains other 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
-sector business.

CITY OF ANDOVER, MINNESOTA

The statement of net positioneen the two reported as net
position. Over time, increases or decreases in net positionmay serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is
improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showinpositionchanged during the most recent fiscal year. All changes
in net positionare 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 Citythat 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 include general government, public safety,
public works, sanitation, parks and recreation, recycling and economic development. The business-type activities of the City include water,
sewer and storm sewer.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 29through 31of this report.
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated
for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into twocategories: governmental fundsand
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 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-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
statement. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the City's near-term financial decisions. Both the governmental
fund balance sheet and governmental fund statement of revenues, expendituresand change in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate
this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains sevenindividual major governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet
and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expendituresand changes in fund balances for the following major funds: General Fund
and the following capital projectsfunds (CPF): Water Trunk, Sewer Trunk, Road and Bridge, 2018A G.O. Capital Improvement Plan Bonds,
2019A G.O. Abatement Bonds and Tax Increment Projects.
Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each ofthese non-major
governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general and special revenue funds.
A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for those funds to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 32through 37of this report.
Proprietary funds. When the City charges customers for the services it provided whether to outside customers or to other departments of
the City these services are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities are
reported in the statement of net positionand the statement of revenues,expenses and changes in net position.
The enterprise funds are the same as the business-type activities reported in the government-wide statements but provide more detail and
additional information, such as cash flows, for proprietary funds. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its water, sanitary sewer and
storm sewer operations.
h as the equipment
maintenance and insurance funds. The internal service funds are reported with governmental activities in the government-wide financial
statements.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 38through 43of 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 governmentwide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 44through 77of this report.
Other information. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds is presented immediately
following the required supplementary information on budgetary comparisons,the modified approach for streets and trails infrastructureand
pension information. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 92through 123of this report.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net positionmay serve over timeas a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case of the City, assets
exceeded liabilities by $191,070,822at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
position($145,185,050or 76percent) 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. It does not include any refunding debt
that has not met the refunding date ofthe original issue. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these
assets are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted
that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate
these liabilities.

whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities.

Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assetsr its governmental and business-type activities as of December 31, 2019, amounts to
$174,196,819(net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings, infrastructure, machinery and
equipment.
The City has elected to use the modified approach as defined in GASB Statement No. 34 for infrastructure reporting for its Pavement
Management Program, which includes streets and trails. Under GASB Statement No. 34, eligible infrastructure capital assets are not required
to be depreciated under the following requirements:
1)The City manages the eligible infrastructure capital assets using an asset management system with characteristics of (a) an up-to-date
inventory; (b) perform condition assessments and summarize the results using a measurement scale; and (c) estimate annual amount
to maintain and preserve at the established condition assessment level.
2)The City documents that the eligible infrastructure capital assets are being preserved approximately at or above the established and
disclosed condition assessment level.
Prior to 2013, the continuous scale was from 0 to 100 where 0 is assigned to the least acceptable physical condition and 100 is assigned to a
new street or trail. Starting in 2013, the continuous scale was from 0 to 10, where 0 is assigned to the least acceptable physical condition and
10 is assigned the physical characteristics of a new street or trail. which is 6 6.9
(56 70old scale) for all streets and trails. In the fall of 2019, the City conducted a physical condition assessment of the streets and trails
constructed since 1974. This assessment will be completed every three years. As of December 31, 2019
rated at an Overall Condition Index (OCI) of 5.3.
-
violet rays drying out and breaking down the top layer of pavement; (3) utility company/private development trenching operations; (4) water
damage from natural precipitation; and (5) frost heave. The City is continuously taking actions to prolong the life of the system through short-
term maintenance activities such as pothole patching, crack sealing, seal coating and overlaying. The City expended $3,701,063on street and
trail maintenance for the year ending December 31, 2019. These expenditures delayed deterioration andthe overall condition of the system
remainsat an appropriate OCI level through these maintenance expenditures. The City has estimated that the amount of annual expenditures
and trail system at the average OCI rating of good is approximately $1,150,000.

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and, therefore, are not reported in the funds.
Deferred outflows of resources - related other post employment benefits and pensions are not current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported in the funds.
Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current-period expenditures and, therefore, are reported as unavailable revenue in the funds.
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the cost of equipment maintenance and insurance to individual funds.
The assets and liabilities are included in the governmental activities statement of net position along with a deduction of net
revenue attributable to business-type activities.
Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, other post employment benefits and net pension liability, are not due and payable in the
current period and, therefore, are not reported in the funds.
Deferred inflows of resources - pension related are associated with long-term liabilities that are not due and payable in the current period and,
therefore, are not reported in the funds.

CITY OF ANDOVER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
Note 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Andover was incorporated in 1974 and operates under the State of Minnesota Statutory Plan A form of government. The
governing body consists of a five-member City council elected by voters of the City.
The financial statements of the City have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied to
governmental units by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The following is a summary of the significant accounting
policies.
A. FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements of the reporting entity include those of the City
(the primary government) and its component units. The component units discussed below are included in the City's reporting
entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships with the City.
COMPONENT UNITS
In conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements of the component units have been included
in the financial reporting entity as blended component units.
The Andover Economic Development Authority (EDA) is an entity legally separate from the City. However, for financial
reporting purposes, the EDA is reported as if it were part of the City's operations because the members of the City Council serve
as EDA Board Members and its purpose is to promote development within the City. The activity of the EDA is reported in the
EDA General Special Revenue Fund. Separate financial statements are not prepared for the EDA.
B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information
on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund
activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and
charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or business-type activity are
offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or business-type
activity. 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 business-type activity and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to
meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or business-type activity. Taxes and other items not
included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual governmental funds
and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis
of accounting, as are the Proprietary Fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded
when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year
for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by
the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified
accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are
considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the
current period. For this purpose, the City considers all revenues, except reimbursement grants, to be available if they are collected
within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Reimbursement grants are considered available if they are collected within
one year of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual
accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and
judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, special assessments, intergovernmental revenues, charges for services and interest associated with the current
fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period.
44
CITY OF ANDOVER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual
as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is
received by the City.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City
except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Water Trunk Capital Projects Fund (CPF) is used to account for water access fees and trunk improvements as part of
development. It is also used to reserve monies that will be needed for capital infrastructure replacements in the future.
The Sewer Trunk CPF is used to account for sewer access fees and sanitary sewer improvements.
The Road and Bridge CPF accounts for all road projects and the pavement management program, which includes annual
seal coating, crack sealing and overlays for roads.
The 2018A General Obligation (G.O.) Capital Improvement Plan Bonds CPF accounts for the construction of a new vehicle
maintenance facility with a wash bay and a cold storage building.
The 2019A G.O. Abatement Bonds CPF accounts for the addition to the Andover YMCA Community Center. The project
consists of a multi-sports complex, additional court added to the existing field house, and teen/senior meeting rooms.
The Tax Increment Projects CPF is used to account for activities in TIF districts 1-2, 1-5, 1-6 and all TIF land sales and
expenditures to reach the goals of the TIF district plans.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Water Fund accounts for the water service charges, which are used to finance the water system operating expenses.
The Sewer Fund accounts for the sewer service charges, which are used to finance the sanitary sewer system operating
expenses.
The Storm Sewer Fund accounts for the storm sewer utility charges, which are used to finance the storm sewer operating
expenses.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund type:
Internal Service Funds (ISF) are used to provide equipment maintenance and insurance to other departments of the City on
a cost reimbursement basis.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions
to this general rule are transactions that would be treated as revenues, expenditures or expenses if they involved external
organizations, such as buying goods and services or payments in lieu of taxes, are similarly treated when they involve other funds
of the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions
concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided,
2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated
resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses
ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the water and sewer enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales
and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and
depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and
expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for an allowable use, it is the City
first, and then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

CITY OF ANDOVER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
D. BUDGETS
Budgets are legally adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Annual appropriated budgets
are legally adopted for the General and Special Revenue Funds. Budgeted expenditure appropriations lapse at year-end.
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are
recorded in order to reserve that portion of the appropriation, is not employed by the City because it is at present not considered
necessary to assure effective budgetary control or to facilitate effective cash management.
E. LEGAL COMPLIANCE - BUDGETS
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:
1.The City Administrator submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the
following January 1. The budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. The budget is legally enacted through City Council action.
4. Expenditures may legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level through City Council action. Also, the City
Council may authorize transfers of budgeted amounts between departments within any fund.
5. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the General Fund and
Special Revenue Funds. Budgetary control for Capital Projects Funds is accomplished through the use of project
controls.
6.The legal level of budgetary control is at the department level for the General Fund and at the fund level for the Special
Revenue Funds. Also inherent in this controlling function is the management philosophy that the existence of a
particular item or appropriation in the approved budget does not automatically mean that it will be spent. The budget
process has flexibility in that, where need has been properly demonstrated, an adjustment can be made within the
department budget by the City Administrator or between departments by the City Council.
7. The City Council made supplemental budget appropriations throughout the year. Individual amendments were not
material in relation to the original appropriations which were adjusted.
The following is a listing of Special Revenue Funds whose expenditures exceed budget appropriations:
FinalOver
BudgetActualBudget
Special Revenue Funds:
Charitable Gambling$ 27,300$ 63,187$ 35,887
Construction Seal Coating12,00019,0687,068
The expenditures over budget were funded by greater than anticipated revenues and/or available fund balance.
F. CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Cash balances from all funds are combined and invested to the extent available in authorized investments. Earnings from such
investments are allocated to the individual funds on the basis of applicable cash balance participation of each fund.
The City provides temporary advances to funds that have insufficient cash balances by means of an advance from another fund
shown as interfund receivables in the advancing fund, and an interfund payable in the fund with the deficit, until adequate
resources are received. These interfund balances are eliminated on the government-wide financial statements.
Investments are stated at fair value, except for investments in external investment pools that meet GASB 79 requirements, are
stated at amortized cost. Short-
cost.
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows of Proprietary Fund Types, cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid
investments that are both:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

a. readily convertible to known amounts of cash, or
b. so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.
meet the above criteria and have original maturities of three months
or less.
G. RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods provided or services rendered.
Short-term interfun-term interfund loans are classified as
-type
activities are reported in the government-
Interfund loan receivables, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable
governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable, available financial resources.
Property taxes and special assessments receivable have been reported net of estimated uncollectible accounts. (See Note 1 H and
I). Because utility bills are considered liens on property, no estimated uncollectible amounts are established. Uncollectible
amounts are not material for other receivables and have not been reported.
H. PROPERTY TAX REVENUE RECOGNITION
The City levies its property tax for the subsequent year during the month of December and it is certified to Anoka County.
December 30th is the last day the City can certify a tax levy to the County Auditor for collection the following year. Such taxes
become a lien on the following January 1. Anoka County is the collecting agency for the levy and remits the collections to the
City three times a year. Taxes not collected as of December 31 each year are shown as delinquent taxes receivable.
The County Auditor prepares the tax list for all taxable property in the City, applying the applicable tax rate to the tax capacity
of individual properties, to arrive at the actual tax for each property. The County Auditor also collects all special assessments,
except for certain prepayments paid directly to the City.
The County Auditor submits a list of taxes to be collected on each parcel of property to the County Treasurer in January of each
year. The County Treasurer collects all taxes and is required to mail copies of all personal property tax statements by April 15,
and copies of all real estate tax statements by April 15, of each year. Property owners are required to pay one-half of their real
estate taxes due by May 15 and the balance by October 15.
If taxes due May 15 are not paid on time, a penalty of 3% is assessed on homesteaded property and 7% on non-homesteaded
property. An additional 1% penalty is added each month the taxes remain unpaid, until October 15. If the taxes due May 15 are
not paid by October 15, a 2% penalty per month is added to homesteaded property and 4% per month to non-homesteaded
property until January 1.
If the taxes are not paid by January 1, further penalties are added. Penalties and interest apply to both taxes and special
assessments. There are some exceptions to the above penalties, but they are not material.
Within 30 days after the tax settlement date, the County Treasurer is required to pay 70% of the estimated collections of taxes
and special assessments to the City Treasurer. The County Treasurer must pay the balance to the City Treasurer within 60 days
after settlement, provided that after 45 days interest accrues at the rate of 8% per annum.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City recognizes property tax revenue in the period for which the taxes were levied. Uncollectible property taxes are not
material and have not been reported.
GOVERNMENTAL FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City recognizes property tax revenue when it becomes both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current
period. In practice, current and delinquent taxes and State credits received by the City in July, December and January are
recognized as revenue for the current year. Taxes collected by the County by December 31 (remitted to the City the following
January) and taxes and credits not received at the year-end are classified as delinquent and due from County taxes receivable.

The portion of delinquent taxes not collected by the City in January is fully offset by deferred inflow of resources because they
are not available to finance current expenditures.
I. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT REVENUE RECOGNITION
Special assessments are levied against benefited properties for the cost or a portion of the cost of special assessment improvement
projects in accordance with State Statutes. These assessments are collectible by the City over a term of years usually consistent
with the term of the related bond issue. Collection of annual installments (including interest) is handled by the County Auditor
in the same manner as property taxes. Property owners are allowed to (and often do) prepay future installments without interest
or prepayment penalties.
Once a special assessment roll is adopted, the amount attributed to each parcel is a lien upon that property until full payment is
made or the amount is determined to be excessive by the City Council or court action. If special assessments are allowed to go
delinquent, the property is subject to tax forfeit sale. Proceeds of sales from tax forfeit properties
costs of administering all tax forfeit properties. Pursuant to State Statutes, a property shall be subject to a tax forfeit sale after
three years unless it is homesteaded, agricultural or seasonal recreational land in which event the property is subject to such sale
after five years.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City recognizes special assessment revenue in the period that the assessment roll was adopted by the City Council.
Uncollectible special assessments are not material and have not been reported.
GOVERNMENTAL FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City recognizes revenue from special assessments when it becomes measurable and available to finance expenditures of the
current fiscal period. In practice, current and delinquent special assessments received by the City are recognized as revenue for
the current year. Special assessments that are collected by the County by December 31 (remitted to the City the following
January) are also recognized as revenue for the current year. All remaining delinquent, deferred and special deferred assessments
receivable in governmental funding are completely offset by deferred inflow of resources.
J. INVENTORIES
Inventories of the Governmental Funds and the Proprietary Funds are stated at cost, which approximates market, using the first-
in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Inventories of Governmental Funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased.
K. PREPAID ITEMS
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both
government-wide and fund financial statements. Prepaid items are reported using the consumption method and recorded as
expenditures/expenses at the time of consumption.
L. 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 attract new business. These assets are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
M. CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar
items) and intangible assets such as easements and computer software, are reported in the applicable governmental or business-
type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an
initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 (except for easements which is $10,000) and an estimated useful life in excess of one
year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets
are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation. The City has chosen the modified approach for reporting street and trail
system capital assets.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not
capitalized.

CITY OF ANDOVER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
The City implemented GASB Statement No. 51. Accounting and Financial Reporting for Intangible Assets effective January 1,
2010 which required the City to capitalize and amortize intangible assets. Intangible assets include easements and computer
software. Pursuant to GASB Statement 51, in the case of initial capitalization of intangible assets, the City chose to capitalize
intangible assets retroactively to 1980, except for permanent easements and internally generated software. The City has already
accounted for computer software at historical cost and therefore retroactive reporting was not necessary. The City does not have
any temporary easements to record that meet the threshold of $10,000.
Property, plant and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated/amortized using the
straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:
AssetsLife
Buildings and improvements10 - 30 years
Furniture and equipment (including software)5 - 10 years
Machinery and equipment5 - 10 years
Other park improvements10 - 30 years
Storm sewer50 years
Distribution and collection systems50 years
Temporary easements5 - 15 years
The City elected to use the modified approach as defined by GASB Statement No. 34 for infrastructure reporting of its streets
and trails. The City conducted a physical assessment in the fall of 2019 of the condition of the streets and trails constructed since
1974. This condition assessment will be performed every 3 years. Each segment of City owned street or trail was assigned a
physical condition based on potential defects. An Overall Condition Index (OCI) was assigned to each segment. The index is
expressed in a continuous scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is assigned to the least acceptable physical condition and 10 is assigned to
those segments that have the characteristic of a new street or trail. The following conditions were defined:
RangeDescription
8 - 10Excellent
7 - 7.9Very good
6 - 6.9Good
4 - 5.9Fair
2 - 3.9Poor
1 - 1.9Very poor
0 - .9Substandard
nts.
This acceptable rating allows minor cracking and patching of the pavement along with minor roughness that could be noticeable
to the users of the system.
N. COMPENSATED ABSENCES
City employees earn vacation and sick pay accruing each payroll period. Unused vacation can be accrued by the employees up
to a maximum of 200 hours (240 hours if on the annual leave plan)
with the City, unless a specific authorization is granted to an employee. All vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the
government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only
if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements.
Employees can also accrue an unlimited amount of unused sick leave. Employees with two or more years of service are entitled
to receive severance pay equal to a percentage of unused sick pay ranging from 20-50 percent based on years of service, up to a
maximum of 400 hours. The liability for severance pay is accounted for the same as accrued vacation pay.
O. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other
long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary
fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized over the life of the related debt.
49
CITY OF ANDOVER, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts 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.
P. FUND BALANCE CLASSIFICATIONS
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.
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. These constraints are established by Resolution of the City Council.
Assigned consists of internally imposed constraints. These constraints reflect the specific purpose for wh
intended use. These constraints are established by the City Council and/or management. Pursuant to City Council
are authorized to establish assignments of fund balance.
Unassigned is the residual classification for the general fund and also reflects negative residual amounts in other funds.
to first use restricted resources, and
then use unrestricted resources as they are needed. When unrestricted resources
use resources in the following order: 1) committed, 2) assigned, and 3) unassigned.
Q. INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
Interfund services provided and used are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses. Transactions that constitute
reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it that are properly applicable to another fund, are
recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund that is
reimbursed. Interfund loans are reported as an interfund loan receivable or payable which offsets the movement of cash between
funds. All other interfund transactions are reported as transfers.
R. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires
management to make estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from such estimates.
S. RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts presented in prior year data have been reclassified in order to be consistent with
T. COMPARATIVE TOTALS
The basic financial statements and combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules include certain prior year
summarized comparative information in total but not at the level of detail required for a presentation in conformity with generally
statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, from which the summarized information was derived.
U. DEFERRED OUTFLOWS/INFLOWS OF RESOURCES
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of
resources.This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position
that applies to a future period(s) and so will notbe recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then.The
government has twoitemsthat qualifyfor reporting in the category.It isother post employment benefits and the pension related
deferred outflows of resources reported in the government-wide Statement of Net Position and the proprietary funds Statement

1) Diversification - The investments shall be diversified by:
a) investments to avoid over concentration in securities from a specific issuer or business sector (excluding U.S.
Treasury securities),
b) limiting investment in securities that have higher credit risks,
c) investing in securities with varying maturities, and
d) continuously investing a portion of the portfolio in readily available funds such as local government investment
pools (LGIPs), money market funds or overnight repurchase agreements to ensure that appropriate liquidity is
maintained in order to meet ongoing obligations.
2) Maximum Maturities - To the extent possible, the City shall attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow
requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the City will not directly invest in securities maturing, or having
average lifes, of more than five (5) years from the date of purchase or in accordance with state and local statutes and
ordinances.
Reserve funds and other funds with longer-term investment horizons may be invested in securities exceeding five (5) years
if the maturity of such investments are made to coincide as nearly as practicable with the expected use of funds. The intent
to invest in securities with longer maturities shall be disclosed in writing to the legislative body.
Because of inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow requirements, a portion of the portfolio should be
continuously invested in readily available funds such as local government investment pools, money market funds, or
overnight repurchase agreements to ensure that appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet ongoing obligations.

E.ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2019actuarial valuation was determined usingan individual entry-age normal actuarial
cost method and the following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation2.50 percent per year
Active Member Payroll Growth3.25 percent per year
Investment Rate of Return7.50 percent
Salary increases were based on a servcie-related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees, survivors, and disabilitants
for all plans were based on RP 2014 tables for males or females, as appropriate, with slight adjus
Cost of living benefit increases after retirement for retirees are assumed to be 1.25 percent per year for the General Employees
Plan, 1.0 percent per year for the Police and Fire Plan.
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2019 valuation were based on the results of actuarial experience studies. The most
recent four-year experience study in the General Employees Plans was completed in 2019. The most recent four-year experience
study for Police and Fire Plan was completed in 2016.
The followingchanges in actuarial assumptionsand plan provisionsoccurred in 2019:

Changes in Actuarial Assumptions:
The mortality projection scale was changed from MP-2017 to MP-2018.
Changes in Plan Provisions:
There have been no changes since the prior valuation.
The State Board of Investment, which manages the investments of PERA, prepares an analysis of the reasonableness on a regular
basis of the long-term expected rate of return 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 geometricreal rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:
TargetLong-Term Expected
Asset ClassAllocationReal Rate of Return

F.DISCOUNT RATE
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2019was 7.50%. The projection of cash flows used to determine
the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members and employers will be made at ratesset in Minnesota Statutes.
Based on theseassumptions,thefiduciary net position of the General Employees Fundand Police and Fire Fundwereprojected
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.

Note BMODIFIED APPROACH FOR CITY STREETS AND TRAILS INFRASTRUCTURE CAPITAL ASSETS
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 34, the City is required to account for and report infrastructure capital assets. The City defines
infrastructure as the basic physical assets including the street and trail system; water treatment and distribution system; wastewater
collection system; parkand recreation lands and improvement system; storm water conveyance system; and building combined with site
amenities such as parking and landscape areas used by the City in the conduct of its business. Each major infrastructure canbe divided
into subsystems. For example, the street and trail system can be divided into pavement widths, curb type and sidewalk. City owned streets
could further be classified as collector or local. Subsystem detail is not presented in these basic financial statements; however, the City
maintains detailed information on these subsystems.
The City has elected to use the modified approach as defined in GASB Statement No. 34 for infrastructure reporting for its Pavement
Management Program. Under GASB Statement No. 34, eligible infrastructure capital assets are not required to be depreciated under the
following requirements:
1)The City manages the eligible infrastructure capital assets using an asset management system with characteristics of (1) an up to-
date inventory; (2) perform condition assessments and summarize the results using a measurement scale; and (3) estimate annual
amount to maintain and preserve at the established condition assessment level.
2)The City documents that the eligible infrastructure capital assets are being preserved approximately at or above the established
and disclosed condition assessment level.
nts. This
acceptable rating allows minor cracking and patching of the pavement along with minor roughness that could be noticeable to the users of
the system.
In the fall of 2019, the City conducted a physical condition assessment of the streets and trails constructed since 1974. This assessment
will be performed every three years. Each street and trail segment was assigned a physical condition based on potential defects. An Overall
Condition Index (OCI) was assigned to each street and trail and expressed in a continuous scale. Prior to 2013, the continuous scale was
from 0 to 100 where 0 is assigned to the least acceptable physical condition and 100 is assigned to a new street or trail. Starting in 2013,
the continuous scale wasfrom 0 to 10, where 0 is assigned to the least acceptable physical condition and 10 is assigned the physical
characteristics of a new street or trail. The following conditions were defined:
