VIII. OLD BUSINESS 22
23
A. Gambling License at Medina Entertainment Center, 500 Highway 55 24
(7:22 p.m.) 25
Johnson provided background information on the request which came before the Council 26
at its last meeting. He stated that the permit meets the requirements and there is no 27
reason for denial. He stated that at the last meeting staff was directed to further 28
research the ability for the City to require permittees to contribute up to 10 percent of 29
profits into a City administered fund. 30
31
Gallup stated that after researching the items requested by the Council, staff was able to 32
find additional clarification. She stated that the City would be limited to a request of 10 33
percent be contributed from profits earned. She stated that the City should also not 34
require an organization to make a contribution to a specific organization as that could 35
violate second amendment rights and therefore, if the Council chooses, it should choose 36
the option to have an ordinance which would require permittees to contribute ten percent 37
of profits into a City administered fund. She stated that this would be a separate fund 38
that would have restricted uses, noting that examples of lawful uses were included within 39
the staff report. She stated that would require an ordinance amendment that the City 40
can enact at any time. She clarified that once enacted, any permittee would fall under 41
that requirement to contribute ten percent of its profits earned into that City administered 42
fund. She recommended that the Council approve the permit tonight and provide 43
direction on whether it would like to pursue such ordinance. 44
45
Martin stated that it seems the City is in a legal position where it needs to grant the 46
permit. 47

12
Motion passed unanimously. 13
14
Moved by Martin, seconded by Cavanaugh, to direct staff to bring back an ordinance 15
amendment to establish the 10 percent lawful gambling contribution requirement into a 16
City administered fund. 17
18
Further discussion: Albers asked if the City could look to potentially dedicate that fund to 19
establish some ice hockey rinks in several parks and fund their management. 20
21
Martin stated that the materials provided by staff state that could be a use of the fund but 22
noted that she would not want to restrict the use of those funds to just that purpose as 23
there would be other opportunities such as Medina Celebration Day, public safety, or 24
other park improvements. 25
26
DesLauriers commented that the monies should go into a fund as recommended to be 27
distributed as needed. 28
29
Reid agreed with the comments of DesLauriers. 30
31
Cavanaugh also agreed that the monies should go into a general fund. He asked if 32
there would be any way to coordinate with Wayzata Youth Hockey, noting that perhaps 33
that organization would be willing to use some of its newly found profits to provide that 34
outdoor ice space in Medina. 35
36
Albers stated that he does like that approach and recommended engaging the Wayzata 37
Orono, and Delano hockey associations to determine if they would be interested in 38
contributing to the costs for outdoor ice space in Medina. 39
40
Barnhart stated that she has been told by several of the other cities she spoke with that 41
participate in this action that the gambling board is very thorough in its compliance and 42
the City will be thorough as well in how the funds are used. She stated that the funds 43
cannot be used for general park improvements and has to be specific to youth programs 44
and possibly park equipment. She stated that there are restrictions in contributing those 45
funds to the City. 46
47
Martin asked if there would be a deadline in which the City must use the funds from this 48
new account. 49
50

IX. NEW BUSINESS 14
15
A. Embedded Social Worker Program with Police Department (7:34 p.m.) 16
Johnson stated that seven police agencies are looking to join forces and add an 17
embedded social worker from Hennepin County to provide resources and assistance 18
with mental health crisis calls. He commented that this is a great opportunity as there 19
has been a spike with mental health crisis calls for police. He commented that this is a 20
positive step and would be a great addition. 21
22
Nelson stated that Medina would look to partner with the other agencies to offer 23
additional services. He stated that if the police have to provide all of these services, it is 24
just a band-aid without follow-up. He stated that this program has funding available to 25
assist with 40 percent of the cost for the workers. He stated that as things continue to 26
change with use of force and officers responding to mental health calls, the hope would 27
be that this program would help to provide services before a crisis scenario is reached. 28
He stated that this would provide help to loved ones that need help for a family member. 29
He stated that this program would connect someone in crisis with services available 30
through the County along with follow-up. He stated that this would involve a two-year 31
commitment and after that time there would be enough data to determine if the program 32
provides the desired results. He stated that Plymouth and Minnetonka were previously 33
involved in the program and after one year decided that they had enough calls and 34
benefit to hire their own social worker directly. He stated that tonight he is asking for 35
approval to work with the other cities to develop a formal contract which would come 36
back before the Council for formal consideration. He hoped that this could move forward 37
later this year. 38
39
Martin thanked Nelson for the report. She stated that she has a better understanding for 40
the need to bring social work into the arena in which the police act and therefore 41
supports moving forward to work with the other cities in this capacity. 42
43
Albers commented that he also supports the idea. 44
45
DesLauriers stated that he fully agrees that this would be a great way to try out this 46
concept. 47
48
Reid stated that when she read summaries of calls from the police and fire, most of the 49
calls for service are not related to police or fire and therefore supports this action. 50
51

B. Reserve of Medina 3rd Addition – Final Plat and Development Agreement 16
(7:43 p.m.) 17
Johnson stated that Pulte Homes is requested the Final Plat approval for the last phase 18
of its development. He stated that there were concerns shared from an adjacent 19
property owner which City Engineer Stremel will address. 20
21
Finke stated that this is a review of the Final Plat for the 3rd Addition and highlighted the 22
lot locations in the northern portion of the project. He stated that Final Plat review is 23
meant to ensure the plat is consistent with the previously approved Preliminary Plat, 24
noting that in this instance they are identical. He stated that the conditions of 25
Preliminary Plat have either been met, or will be met, through the development of the 26
site noting that most of the conditions will carry over and be included with the Final Plat 27
Resolution and/or Development Agreement. He referenced Hackamore Road and 28
stated that language was included in the Preliminary Plat including a contribution to the 29
improvements for the roadway. He stated that the implementation of the contribution 30
has been delayed until this time as the 3rd Addition connects to Hackamore Road and 31
highlighted the segment of the roadway improvement that Pulte would be responsible for 32
with this phase of the development. He stated that the developer would also provide 33
additional filtration volume within the pond for the new hardcover of Hackamore Road. 34
He stated that if the Council approves the Resolution and Development Agreement, 35
Pulte would be responsible for the physical construction of that portion of Hackamore 36
Road. He stated that the other matter related to the grading and drainage related to 37
adjacent property and noted that additional language was included that intends to 38
specify those grading and drainage requirements included within the City Engineer 39
review comments. 40
41
DesLauriers appreciated City staff members going out to the property to review drainage 42
issues and find a resolution that satisfies all parties. 43
44
Albers asked if the new language was presented to the adjacent property and found to 45
be appropriate to address their concerns. 46
47
Finke stated that he did not discuss the exact language but did discuss the issues on the 48
site and those were the primary issues. 49
50
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes 8
May 4, 2021
Stremel stated that with the Xenia Trail drainage issues, curb and gutter will be installed 1
to capture water from the roadway and there will be a swale in the rear yard of some 2
homes to capture additional drainage. 3
4
Reid thanked Finke and Stremel for visiting the site to resolve these issues prior to the 5
meeting and noted that the adjacent property owner most likely appreciated that effort 6
and attention. 7
8
1. Resolution No. 2021-31 Granting Final Plat Approval for Reserve 9
of Medina 3rd Addition 10
Moved by Reid, seconded by Cavanaugh, to adopt Resolution No. 2021-31 Granting 11
Final Plat Approval for Reserve of Medina 3rd Addition. 12
13
Further discussion: Finke asked if the Council would accept the amended language for 14
condition seven. 15
16
Martin confirmed the consensus of the motion maker and seconder to accept that 17
amended language as recommended by staff. 18

XI. MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL REPORTS (8:01 p.m.) 4
Martin recognized that everyone would love to return to in person meetings at City Hall 5
for Council and Commission meetings but noted that the Chamber at City Hall is very 6
small and therefore it does not seem appropriate to meet in person at this time. She 7
asked if members of staff, Council and Commissions could report to Johnson on the 8
status of their vaccinations. She stated that she would be hesitant to gather in that room 9
including staff, members of the Council and Commissions, and members of the public 10
that would create an increased risk of infection and disease. She commented that she 11
may have a conflict on May 12th with the Hennepin County Mayors meeting and noted 12
that if there were a member of the Council that would like to attend in her place, they 13
would be welcome. 14

Subject: Bid Opening for Paul Fortin Baseball - Electrical and Installation
Steve,
This morning we opened bids for the structural installation and the electrical system for
the Paul Fortin baseball field lighting. Bids came in at a good number with Killmer
Electric being the low bid at $72,950. Other bids came in from Starry Electric at $88,300
and Medina Electric at $128,621.
I am not sure if you are aware but there has been a steep increase in the price of copper
wiring and conduit over the past 2 months. The bid by Killmer is where I had estimated
the cost prior to the price increase. Killmer meets the requirements of the specifications
and I recommend award of contract to them.

Management, Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Medina, Minnesota
April 29, 2021
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, the aggregate
discreetly presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of
Medina, Minnesota (the City), for the year ended December 31, 2020. Professional standards require that we provide you
with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards, as well as certain information
related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated
October 28, 2020. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our
audit.
Our Responsibility Under Auditing Standards Generally Accepted in the United States of America
As stated in our engagement letter, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to express opinions
about whether the financial statements prepared by management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material
respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the
financial statements does not relieve you or management of your responsibilities.
Our responsibility is to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. As part of our audit, we considered the internal control over financial
reporting (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. We are responsible for communicating
significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing
the financial reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures specifically to identify such matters.
Significant Audit Findings
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the District's internal control over financial
reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the
purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the District's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
District's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees,
in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely
basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected
and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was
not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and
therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Given these limitations,
during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. As described below, we identified a deficiency in
internal control that we consider to be a material weakness, as finding 2020-001.

2020-001 Preparation of Financial Statements
Condition:
Criteria:
Cause:
As auditors, we were requested to draft the audited financial statements and related footnote
disclosures as part of our regular audit services. Auditing standards require auditors to
communicate this situation to the City Council as an internal control deficiency. Ultimately, it is
management's responsibility to provide for the preparation of your statements and footnotes, and
the responsibility of the auditor to determine the fairness of presentation of those statements. It is
our responsibility to inform you that this deficiency could result in a material misstatement to the
financial statements that could have been prevented or detected by your management.
Essentially, the auditors cannot be part of your internal control process.
Internal controls should be in place to provide reasonable assurance over financial reporting.
From a practical standpoint we do both for you at the same time in connection with our audit. This
is not unusual for us to do with an organization of your size.
Effect: The effectiveness of the internal control system relies on enforcement by management. The
effect of deficiencies in internal controls can result in undetected errors in financial reporting.
Recommendation: It is the responsibility of the City to make the decision to accept this degree of risk associated with
this condition because of cost or other considerations. We have requested management to review
a draft of the auditor prepared financials in detail for their accuracy; we have answered any
questions they might have, and have encouraged research of any accounting guidance in
connection with the adequacy and appropriateness of classification of disclosure in your
statements. We are satisfied that the appropriate steps have been taken to provide you with the
completed financial statements. While the City is reviewing the financial statements we
recommend that the City agree its financial software to the numbers reported in the financial
statements.
Management Response:
The City's management accepts the degree of risk associated with this condition and thoroughly reviews a draft of the
financial statements.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free from material
misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant
agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. 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 one instance of noncompliance or other matters that are
required to be reported under Minnesota statutes noted below as finding 2020-002.

2020-002 Coronavirus Relief Fund
Condition:
Criteria:
During our Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) compliance testing procedures, we reviewed City
costs applied to the program as reported to the State of Minnesota and identified questioned
costs of $4,224. The questioned expenses were paid November 17, 2020, after the program end
date.
The Department of the Treasury Coronavirus Relief Fund program guidance states revenue
replacement is not a permissible use of Fund payments. The State of Minnesota required Cities
to either spend CRF funds by November 15, 2020 or return any unspent funds by November 20,
2020.
Cause: The City was aware of the program compliance requirement, however the checks were paid past
the deadline due to the date of the City Council meeting date and approval of payments.
Effect:
The City is out of compliance with the CRF program
Recommendation: We recommend City staff ensure future expenditures are spent withing the grant period. This may
involve considering additional options or modifications to the purchasing policy.
Management Response:
The City considered the expense paid to the vendor via credit card within the grant spending period. The credit card
statement was paid two days after the grant period due to the scheduling of the City Council meeting. The City amended
the final report to the State of Minnesota, restating the expenses to remove the election expenses considered past the
deadline to eligible public safety expenses that where within the grant period. The State of Minnesota accepted the
amended final report.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting
policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted
and the application of existing policies were not changed during the year ended December 31, 2020. We noted no
transactions entered into by the governmental unit during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or
consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on
management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain
accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the
possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates
affecting the financial statements were related to estimated historical cost of the capital assets, depreciation on capital
assets, evaluating a liability for other post -employment benefits, and the liability for the City's pensions.
• Management's estimate of depreciation is based on estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation is
calculated using the straight-line method.
• Allocations of gross wages and payroll benefits are approved by City Council within the City's budget and are
derived from each employee's estimated time to be spent servicing the respective functions of the City. These
allocations are also used in allocating accrued compensated absences payable and other postemployment
benefits.
• Management's estimate of its pension liability is based on several factors including, but not limited to, anticipated
investment return rate, retirement age for active employees, life expectancy, salary increases and
form of annuity payment upon retirement
• Management's estimate of its OPEB liability is based on several factors including, but not limited
to, anticipated retirement age for active employees, life expectance, turnover, and healthcare cost
trend rates.
4
We evaluated key factors and assumptions used to develop these accounting estimates in determining that it is
reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The disclosures in the financial statements are neutral,
consistent, and clear. Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to
financial statement users.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than
those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such
misstatements. We proposed one journal entry that we consider to be an audit entry or correction of management
decisions.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial accounting,
reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial
statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our
audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter
dated April 29, 2021.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar
to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the
City's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements,
our professional standards 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.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with
management each year prior to retention as the City's auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal
course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information (RSI) (Management's Discussion and
Analysis, the Schedules of Employer's Share of the Net Pension Liability, the Schedules of Employer's Contributions,
Schedule of changes in the City's OPEB Liability and Related Ratios), which is information that supplements the basic
financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the
information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit
the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the supplementary information (combining and individual fund financial statements and
schedules and schedules of federal awards), which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to
this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods
of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is
appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the
supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the
financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the introductory section or statistical sections, which accompany the
financial statements but is not RSI. We did not audit or perform other procedures on this other
information, and we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

Future Accounting Standard Changes
The following Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements have been issued and may have an impact
on future City financial statements: (1)
GASB Statement No. 87 - Leases
Summary
The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by improving
accounting and financial reporting for leases by governments. This Statement increases the usefulness of governments'
financial statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified
as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of
the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are
financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this Statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability
and an intangible right -to -use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow
of resources, thereby enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about governments' leasing activities.
Effective Date and Transition
The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2021, and all reporting periods
thereafter.
Leases should be recognized and measured using the facts and circumstances that exist at the beginning of the period of
implementation (or, if applied to earlier periods, the beginning of the earliest period restated). However, lessors should not
restate the assets underlying their existing sales -type or direct financing leases. Any residual assets for those leases
become the carrying values of the underlying assets.
How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Accounting and Financial Reporting
This Statement will increase the usefulness of governments' financial statements by requiring reporting of certain lease
liabilities that currently are not reported. It will enhance comparability of financial statements among governments by
requiring lessees and lessors to report leases under a single model. This Statement also will enhance the decision -
usefulness of the information provided to financial statement users by requiring notes to financial statements related to the
timing, significance, and purpose of a government's leasing arrangements.
GASB Statement No. 89 - Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred before the End of a Construction Period
Summary
The objectives of this Statement are (1) to enhance the relevance and comparability of information about capital assets
and the cost of borrowing for a reporting period and (2) to simplify accounting for interest cost incurred before the end of a
construction period.
This Statement establishes accounting requirements for interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period.
Such interest cost includes all interest that previously was accounted for in accordance with the requirements of
paragraphs 5-22 of Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre -
November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements, which are superseded by this Statement. This Statement
requires that interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period be recognized as an expense in the period in
which the cost is incurred for financial statements prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. As a
result, interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period will not be included in the historical cost of a capital
asset reported in a business -type activity or enterprise fund.
This Statement also reiterates that in financial statements prepared using the current financial resources measurement
focus, interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period should be recognized as an expenditure on a basis
consistent with governmental fund accounting principles.

Future Accounting Standard Changes (Continued)
Effective Date and Transition
The requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Earlier
application is encouraged.
How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Accounting and Financial Reporting
The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by providing users of financial statements with more
relevant information about capital assets and the cost of borrowing for a reporting period. The resulting information also
will enhance the comparability of information about capital assets and the cost of borrowing for a reporting period for both
governmental activities and business -type activities.
GASB Statement No. 91 - Conduit Debt Obligations
Summary
The primary objectives of this Statement are to provide a single method of reporting conduit debt obligations by issuers
and eliminate diversity in practice associated with (1) commitments extended by issuers, (2) arrangements associated
with conduit debt obligations, and (3) related note disclosures. This Statement achieves those objectives by clarifying the
existing definition of a conduit debt obligation; establishing that a conduit debt obligation is not a liability of the issuer;
establishing standards for accounting and financial reporting of additional commitments and voluntary commitments
extended by issuers and arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations; and improving required note disclosures.
All conduit debt obligations involve the issuer making a limited commitment. Some issuers extend additional commitments
or voluntary commitments to support debt service in the event the third party is, or will be, unable to do so.
An issuer should not recognize a conduit debt obligation as a liability. However, an issuer should recognize a liability
associated with an additional commitment or a voluntary commitment to support debt service if certain recognition criteria
are met. As long as a conduit debt obligation is outstanding, an issuer that has made an additional commitment should
evaluate at least annually whether those criteria are met. An issuer that has made only a limited commitment should
evaluate whether those criteria are met when an event occurs that causes the issuer to reevaluate its willingness or ability
to support the obligor's debt service through a voluntary commitment.
This Statement also addresses arrangements - often characterized as leases - that are associated with conduit debt
obligations. In those arrangements, capital assets are constructed or acquired with the proceeds of a conduit debt
obligation and used by third -party obligors in the course of their activities. Payments from third -party obligors are intended
to cover and coincide with debt service payments. During those arrangements, issuers retain the titles to the capital
assets. Those titles may or may not pass to the obligors at the end of the arrangements.
This Statement requires issuers to disclose general information about their conduit debt obligations, organized by type of
commitment, including the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the issuers' conduit debt obligations and a
description of each type of commitment. Issuers that recognize liabilities related to supporting the debt service of conduit
debt obligations also should disclose information about the amount recognized and how the liabilities changed during the
reporting period.
Effective Date and Transition
The requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Earlier
application is encouraged.

Future Accounting Standard Changes (Continued)
How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Accounting and Financial Reporting
The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by eliminating the existing option for issuers to report
conduit debt obligations as their own liabilities, thereby ending significant diversity in practice. The clarified definition will
resolve stakeholders' uncertainty as to whether a given financing is, in fact, a conduit debt obligation. Requiring issuers to
recognize liabilities associated with additional commitments extended by issuers and to recognize assets and deferred
inflows of resources related to certain arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations also will eliminate diversity,
thereby improving comparability in reporting by issuers. Revised disclosure requirements will provide financial statement
users with better information regarding the commitments issuers extend and the likelihood that they will fulfill those
commitments. That information will inform users of the potential impact of such commitments on the financial resources of
issuers and help users assess issuers' roles in conduit debt obligations.
GASB Statement No. 92 - Omnibus 2020
Summary
The objectives of this Statement are to enhance comparability in accounting and financial reporting and to improve the
consistency of authoritative literature by addressing practice issues that have been identified during implementation and
application of certain GASB Statements. This Statement addresses a variety of topics and includes specific provisions
about the following:
• The effective date of Statement No. 87, Leases, and Implementation Guide No. 2019-3, Leases, for interim
financial reports
• Reporting of intra-entity transfers of assets between a primary government employer and a component unit
defined benefit pension plan or defined benefit other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plan
• The applicability of Statements No. 73, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and Related Assets That
Are Not within the Scope of GASB Statement 68, and Amendments to Certain Provisions of GASB Statements 67
and 68, as amended, and No. 74, Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension
Plans, as amended, to reporting assets accumulated for postemployment benefits
• The applicability of certain requirements of Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities, to postemployment benefit
arrangements
• Measurement of liabilities (and assets, if any) related to asset retirement obligations (AROs) in a government
acquisition
• Reporting by public entity risk pools for amounts that are recoverable from reinsurers or excess insurers
• Reference to nonrecurring fair value measurements of assets or liabilities in authoritative literature
• Terminology used to refer to derivative instruments.

Effective Date and Transition
The requirements of this Statement are effective as follows:
• The requirements related to the effective date of Statement 87 and Implementation Guide 2019-3, reinsurance
recoveries, and terminology used to refer to derivative instruments are effective upon issuance.
• The requirements related to intra-entity transfers of assets and those related to the applicability of Statements 73
and 74 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2020.
• The requirements related to application of Statement 84 to postemployment benefit arrangements and those
related to nonrecurring fair value measurements of assets or liabilities are effective for reporting periods beginning
after June 15, 2020.
• The requirements related to the measurement of liabilities (and assets, if any) associated with AROs in a
government acquisition are effective for government acquisitions occurring in reporting periods beginning after
June 15, 2020.
Earlier application is encouraged and is permitted by topic.
How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Accounting and Financial Reporting
The requirements of this Statement will enhance comparability in the application of accounting and financial reporting
requirements and will improve the consistency of authoritative literature. More comparable reporting will improve the
usefulness of information for users of state and local government financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 93 - Replacement of Interbank Offered Rates
Summary
The objective of this Statement is to address those and other accounting and financial reporting implications that result
from the replacement of an IBOR. This Statement achieves that objective by:
• Providing exceptions for certain hedging derivative instruments to the hedge accounting termination provisions
when an IBOR is replaced as the reference rate of the hedging derivative instrument's variable payment
• Clarifying the hedge accounting termination provisions when a hedged item is amended to replace the reference
rate
• Clarifying that the uncertainty related to the continued availability of IBORs does not, by itself, affect the
assessment of whether the occurrence of a hedged expected transaction is probable
• Removing LIBOR as an appropriate benchmark interest rate for the qualitative evaluation of the effectiveness of
an interest rate swap
• Identifying a Secured Overnight Financing Rate and the Effective Federal Funds Rate as appropriate benchmark
interest rates for the qualitative evaluation of the effectiveness of an interest rate swap
• Clarifying the definition of reference rate, as it is used in Statement 53, as amended
• Providing an exception to the lease modifications guidance in Statement 87, as amended, for certain lease
contracts that are amended solely to replace an IBOR as the rate upon which variable payments depend
9
Future Accounting Standard Changes (Continued)
Effective Date and Transition
The removal of LIBOR as an appropriate benchmark interest rate is effective for reporting periods ending after
December 31, 2021. All other requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after
June 15, 2020. Earlier application is encouraged. The exceptions to the existing provisions for hedge accounting
termination and lease modifications in this Statement will reduce the cost of the accounting and financial reporting
ramifications of replacing IBORs with other reference rates. The reliability and relevance of reported information will be
maintained by requiring that agreements that effectively maintain an existing hedging arrangement continue to be
accounted for in the same manner as before the replacement of a reference rate. As a result, this Statement will preserve
the consistency and comparability of reporting hedging derivative instruments and leases after governments amend or
replace agreements to replace an !BOR.
How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Accounting and Financial Reporting
The requirements of this Statement will enhance comparability in the application of accounting and financial reporting
requirements and will improve the consistency of authoritative literature. More comparable reporting will improve the
usefulness of information for users of state and local government financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 94 - Public -Private and Public -Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements
Summary
The primary objective of this Statement is to improve financial reporting by addressing issues related to public -private and
public -public partnership arrangements (PPPs). As used in this Statement, a PPP is an arrangement in which a
government (the transferor) contracts with an operator (a governmental or nongovernmental entity) to provide public
services by conveying control of the right to operate or use a nonfinancial asset, such as infrastructure or other capital
asset (the underlying PPP asset), for a period of time in an exchange or exchange -like transaction. Some PPPs meet the
definition of a service concession arrangement (SCA), which the Board defines in this Statement as a PPP in which (1)
the operator collects and is compensated by fees from third parties; (2) the transferor determines or has the ability to
modify or approve which services the operator is required to provide, to whom the operator is required to provide the
services, and the prices or rates that can be charged for the services; and (3) the transferor is entitled to significant
residual interest in the service utility of the underlying PPP asset at the end of the arrangement.
This Statement also provides guidance for accounting and financial reporting for availability payment arrangements
(APAs). As defined in this Statement, an APA is an arrangement in which a government compensates an operator for
services that may include designing, constructing, financing, maintaining, or operating an underlying nonfinancial asset for
a period of time in an exchange or exchange -like transaction.
Effective Date and Transition
The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2022, and all reporting periods
thereafter. Earlier application is encouraged.
PPPs should be recognized and measured using the facts and circumstances that exist at the beginning of the period of
implementation (or if applicable to earlier periods, the beginning of the earliest period restated).
How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Accounting and Financial Reporting
The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by establishing the definitions of PPPs and APAs and
providing uniform guidance on accounting and financial reporting for transactions that meet those definitions. That uniform
guidance will provide more relevant and reliable information for financial statement users and create greater consistency
in practice. This Statement will enhance the decision usefulness of a government's financial statements by requiring
governments to report assets and liabilities related to PPPs consistently and disclose important information about PPP
transactions. The required disclosures will allow users to understand the scale and important aspects of a government's
PPPs and evaluate a government's future obligations and assets resulting from PPPs.

Future Accounting Standard Changes (Continued)
GASB Statement No. 95 - Postponement of the Effective Dates of Certain Authoritative Guidance
Summary
The primary objective of this Statement is to provide temporary relief to governments and other stakeholders in light of the
COVID-19 pandemic. That objective is accomplished by postponing the effective dates of certain provisions in Statements
and Implementation Guides that first became effective or are scheduled to become effective for periods beginning after
June 15, 2018, and later.
The effective dates of certain provisions contained in the following pronouncements are postponed by one year.

• Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities
• Statement No. 88, Certain Disclosures Related to Debt, including Direct Borrowings and Direct Placements
• Statement No. 89, Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred before the End of a Construction Period
• Statement No. 90, Majority Equity Interests
• Statement No. 91, Conduit Debt Obligations
• Statement No. 92, Omnibus 2020
• Statement No. 93, Replacement of Interbank Offered Rates
• Implementation Guide No. 2017-3, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than
Pensions (and Certain Issues Related to OPEB Plan Reporting)
• Implementation Guide No. 2018-1, Implementation Guidance Update - 2018
• Implementation Guide No. 2019-1, Implementation Guidance Update - 2019
• Implementation Guide No. 2019-2, Fiduciary Activities.
The effective dates of the following pronouncements are postponed by 18 months:
• Statement No. 87, Leases
• Implementation Guide No. 2019-3, Leases.
Effective Date and Transition
The requirements of this Statement are effective immediately.
How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Accounting and Financial Reporting
Providing governments with sufficient time to apply the authoritative guidance addressed in this Statement will help to
safeguard the reliability of their financial statements, which in turn will benefit the users of those financial statements.

Future Accounting Standard Changes (Continued)
GASB Statement No. 96 - Subscription -Based Information Technology Arrangements
Summary
This Statement provides guidance on the accounting and financial reporting for subscription -based information technology
arrangements (SBITAs) for government end users (governments). This Statement (1) defines a SBITA; (2) establishes
that a SBITA results in a right -to -use subscription asset - an intangible asset - and a corresponding subscription liability;
(3) provides the capitalization criteria for outlays other than subscription payments, including implementation costs of a
SBITA; and (4) requires note disclosures regarding a SBITA. To the extent relevant, the standards for SBITAs are based
on the standards established in Statement No. 87, Leases, as amended.
Under this Statement, a government generally should recognize a right -to -use subscription asset - an intangible asset -
and a corresponding subscription liability. A government should recognize the subscription liability at the commencement
of the subscription term, - which is when the subscription asset is placed into service. The subscription liability should be
initially measured at the present value of subscription payments expected to be made during the subscription term. Future
subscription payments should be discounted using the interest rate the SBITA vendor charges the government, which
may be implicit, or the government's incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate is not readily determinable. A
government should recognize amortization of the discount on the subscription liability as an outflow of resources (for
example, interest expense) in subsequent financial reporting periods.
This Statement provides an exception for short-term SBITAs. Short-term SBITAs have a maximum possible term under
the SBITA contract of 12 months (or less), including any options to extend, regardless of their probability of being
exercised. Subscription payments for short-term SBITAs should be recognized as outflows of resources.
This Statement requires a government to disclose descriptive information about its SBITAs other than short-term SBITAs,
such as the amount of the subscription asset, accumulated amortization, other payments not included in the measurement
of a subscription liability, principal and interest requirements for the subscription liability, and other essential information.
Effective Date and Transition
The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2022, and all reporting periods
thereafter. Earlier application is encouraged. Assets and liabilities resulting from SBITAs should be recognized and
measured using the facts and circumstances that existed at the beginning of the fiscal year in which this Statement is
implemented. Governments are permitted, but are not required, to include in the measurement of the subscription asset
capitalizable outlays associated with the initial implementation stage and the operation and additional implementation
stage incurred prior to the implementation of this Statement.
How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Accounting and Financial Reporting
The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by establishing a definition for SBITAs and providing
uniform guidance for accounting and financial reporting for transactions that meet that definition. That definition and
uniform guidance will result in greater consistency in practice. Establishing the capitalization criteria for implementation
costs also will reduce diversity and improve comparability in financial reporting by governments. This Statement also will
enhance the relevance and reliability of a government's financial statements by requiring a government to report a
subscription asset and subscription liability for a SBITA and to disclose essential information about the arrangement. The
disclosures will allow users to understand the scale and important aspects of a government's SBITA activities and
evaluate a government's obligations and assets resulting from SBITAs.

Future Accounting Standard Changes (Continued)
GASB Statement No. 97 - Certain Component Unit Criteria, and Accounting and Financial Reporting for Internal
Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans - an amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 84, and
a supersession of GASB Statement No. 32
Summary
The primary objectives of this Statement are to (1) increase consistency and comparability related to the reporting of
fiduciary component units in circumstances in which a potential component unit does not have a governing board and the
primary government performs the duties that a governing board typically would perform; (2) mitigate costs associated with
the reporting of certain defined contribution pension plans, defined contribution other postemployment benefit (OPEB)
plans, and employee benefit plans other than pension plans or OPEB plans (other employee benefit plans) as fiduciary
component units in fiduciary fund financial statements; and (3) enhance the relevance, consistency, and comparability of
the accounting and financial reporting for Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 457 deferred compensation plans (Section
457 plans) that meet the definition of a pension plan and for benefits provided through those plans.
This Statement requires that for purposes of determining whether a primary government is financially accountable for a
potential component unit, except for a potential component unit that is a defined contribution pension plan, a defined
contribution OPEB plan, or another employee benefit plan (for example, certain Section 457 plans), the absence of a
governing board should be treated the same as the appointment of a voting majority of a governing board if the primary
government performs the duties that a governing board typically would perform.
This Statement also requires that the financial burden criterion in paragraph 7 of Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities, be
applicable to only defined benefit pension plans and defined benefit OPEB plans that are administered through trusts that
meet the criteria in paragraph 3 of Statement No. 67, Financial Reporting for Pension Plans, or paragraph 3 of Statement
No. 74, Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans, respectively.
This Statement (1) requires that a Section 457 plan be classified as either a pension plan or another employee benefit
plan depending on whether the plan meets the definition of a pension plan and (2) clarifies that Statement 84, as
amended, should be applied to all arrangements organized under IRC Section 457 to determine whether those
arrangements should be reported as fiduciary activities.
This Statement supersedes the remaining provisions of Statement No. 32, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Internal
Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans, as amended, regarding investment valuation requirements for
Section 457 plans. As a result, investments of all Section 457 plans should be measured as of the end of the plan's
reporting period in all circumstances.
Effective Date and Transition
The requirements of this Statement that (1) exempt primary governments that perform the duties that a governing board
typically performs from treating the absence of a governing board the same as the appointment of a voting majority of a
governing board in determining whether they are financially accountable for defined contribution pension plans, defined
contribution OPEB plans, or other employee benefit plans and (2) limit the applicability of the financial burden criterion in
paragraph 7 of Statement 84 to defined benefit pension plans and defined benefit OPEB plans that are administered
through trusts that meet the criteria in paragraph 3 of Statement 67 or paragraph 3 of Statement 74, respectively, are
effective immediately.
The requirements of this Statement that are related to the accounting and financial reporting for Section 457 plans are
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2021. For purposes of determining whether a primary government is
financially accountable for a potential component unit, the requirements of this Statement that provide that for all other
arrangements, the absence of a governing board be treated the same as the appointment of a voting majority of a
governing board if the primary government performs the duties that a governing board typically would perform, are
effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2021. Earlier application of those requirements is encouraged and
permitted by requirement as specified within this Statement.
The Board considered the effective dates for the requirements of this Statement in light of the COVID-19
pandemic and in concert with Statement No. 95, Postponement of the Effective Dates of Certain
Authoritative Guidance. I Wpll',

Future Accounting Standard Changes (Continued)
How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Accounting and Financial Reporting
The requirements of this Statement will result in more consistent financial reporting of defined contribution pension plans,
defined contribution OPEB plans, and other employee benefit plans, while mitigating the costs associated with reporting
those plans. The requirements also will enhance the relevance, consistency, and comparability of (1) the information
related to Section 457 plans that meet the definition of a pension plan and the benefits provided through those plans and
(2) investment information for all Section 457 plans.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Medina, Minnesota
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of governmental activities, the business -type activities, each
major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Medina, Minnesota (the City), as of and for the
year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's
basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation,
and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 involves 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 City's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial
position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City as of December 31, 2020, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable,
cash flows thereof and the budgetary comparison for the General fund for the year then ended in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's Discussion and
Analysis starting on page 17 and the Schedules of Employer's Share of the Net Pension Liability, the Schedules of
Employer's Contributions, the related note disclosures, and the Schedule of Changes in the City's OPEB liability starting
on page 78 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic
financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential
part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical
context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquires of management about
the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to
our inquires, 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 an opinion on the basic financial statements that collectively comprise
the City's basis financial statements. The introductory section and combining and individual fund financial statements and
schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of management and were
derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the 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 and individual fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated,
in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
The introductory section has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated April 29, 2021, on our
consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions
of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe
the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not
to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That
report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the
City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

As management of the
narrative overview and
Management's Discussion and Analysis
City of Medina, Minnesota (the City), we offer readers of the City's financial statements this
analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
Financial Highlights
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources
at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $47,995,360 (net position). Of this amount, $13,893,378
(unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
• The total net position of governmental activities increased by $454,227 and total net position of the business -type
activities increased by $2,122,997. This resulted in an increase to total net position of $2,577,224 for the City.
This is largely due to continued development and growth. The City's partnerships with developers to expand utility
and transportation infrastructure and associated development fees have contributed to a large part of the increase
in total net position.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances
of $18,008,783, an increase of $4,459,623 in comparison with the prior year. The increase can mainly be
attributed to bonds issued in the amount of $5,720,000 that are to be used in 2021 to refund and payoff previously
issued bonds.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the General fund was $3,375,231, or 63.7
percent of total General fund expenditures and transfers out.
• The City's total debt increased $3,029,172, or 27.0 percent during the current fiscal year. The key factor of this
increase was due to the issuance of the 2020A bonds in the amount of $5,720,000 offset with regularly scheduled
principal payments.
17
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements. The City's
basic financial statements comprise of three components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial
statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplemental information in addition
to the basic financial statements themselves.
The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide
more detailed data. The statements are followed by a section of combining and individual fund financial statements and
schedules that further explains and supports the information in the financial statements. Figure 1 shows how the required
parts of this annual report are arranged and relate to one another. In addition to these required elements, we have
included a section with combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules that provide details about
nonmajor governmental funds, which are added together and presented in single columns in the basic financial
statements.

Government -wide Financial Statements. The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers
with a broad overview of the City's finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City's assets and deferred outflows of resources and
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or
deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net position changed during the most recent fiscal
year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless
of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will
only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
19
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes
and intergovernmental revenue (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, streets and highways, sanitation and recycling, culture and recreation,
economic development, miscellaneous and interest on long-term debt. The business -type activities of the City include
water, sanitary sewer, and storm water.
The government -wide financial statements start on page 29 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, like other state and local governments, uses fund
accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can
be divided into two categories: 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 near -term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as
well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in
evaluating a government's near -term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial statements, it is useful to
compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities
in the government -wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact by 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 maintains numerous individual governmental funds, eight of which are Debt Service 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, Debt Service fund, and the Sewer Capital Improvements
fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of
combining statements or schedules elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been
provided for the General fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements start on page 34 of this report.
Proprietary Funds. The City maintains one type of proprietary fund. Enterprise funds are used to report the same
functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise
funds to account for its water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer.
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 each of the three enterprise funds, all of which
are considered to be major funds of the City.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements start on page 40 this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of
the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements start on
page 47 of this report.
Other Information. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds are
presented following the notes to the financial statements. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules start
on page 86 of this report.
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required
supplementary information concerning the City's progress in funding its obligation to provide pension and other post -
employment benefits to its employees. Required supplementary information can be found starting on page 78 of this
report.
20
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, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $47,995,360
at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
By far, the largest portion of the City's net position (52.8 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
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.

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal
requirements.
Governmental Funds. The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near -term inflows, outflows
and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing requirements. In
particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for
spending at the end of the fiscal year.
Major Funds
General
The fund balance of the General fund increased by $380,531
Fund Balance December 31, Increase
2020 2019 _(Decrease)
$ 3,506,932 $ 3,126,401 $ 380,531
as a result positive budget variance of $535,866 in
Debt Service $ 6,144,522 $ 1,589,730 $ 4,554,792
The Debt Service fund balance increased $4,554,792 mainly due to the issuance of refunding bonds during the current
year of $5,720,000. The payoff date of the refunded bonds is February 1, 2021.
Sewer Capital Improvements $ 3,235,754
$ 3,122,661 $ 113,093
The Sewer Capital Improvement fund balance increased $113,093 mainly due to an increase in interest revenue from
investments and special assessment revenue received in the current year.
Proprietary Funds. The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government -wide
financial statements, but in more detail.
Unrestricted net position of the enterprise funds at the end of the year amounted to $5,632,839. The total increase in net
position for the funds was $2,122,997. Other factors concerning the finances of this fund have already been addressed in
the discussion of the City's business -type activities.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The City's General fund budget was not amended during the year and the budget called for no change in fund balance.
Revenues exceeded the budget by $871,583, primarily intergovernmental (CARES Act local aid) and licenses and permits
exceeding the budget by $535,866 and $208,686, respectively. Expenditures were over budget by $491,052 during the
year. The budget variance can be attributed mainly to public safety (COVID-19) and capital outlay (Arrowhead Rail Trail
Crossing) of $347,055, and $376,815, respectively.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital Assets. The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business type activities as of
December 31, 2020, amounts to $25,329,194 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets
includes land, structures, improvements, machinery and equipment, park facilities, and roads.

City of Medina, Minnesota
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and
Changes in Fund Balances to the Statement of Activities
Governmental Funds
For the Year Ended December 31, 2020
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because
Total Net Change in Fund Balances - Governmental Funds
$ 4,459,623
Capital outlays are reported in governmental funds as expenditures. However, in the statement of
activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over the estimated useful lives as depreciation
expense.
Capital outlay 1,729,619
Depreciation expense (1,313,380)
The net effect of various miscellaneous transactionsinvolving capital assets is to increase (decrease)
net position.
Book value of disposed assets
(5,917)
A gain or loss on the trade-in of capital assets, including the difference between carrying value and any
related sales proceeds, is included in net position. However, only the sales proceeds are included
in the change in the change in fund balance. 97,800
Capital assets constructed in capital projects funds but intended for enterprise fund use
are transferred in the government -wide financial statements. (715,724)
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while
the repayment of principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental
funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds report
the effect of premiums, discounts and similar items when debt is first issued,
whereas these amounts are amortized in the statement of activities.
Bonds issued
(5,720,000)
Premium on bonds issued (281,458)
Amortization of bond premium 40,030
Principal repayments 2,355,000
Interest on long-term debt in the statement of activities differs from the amount reported in the
governmental funds because interest is recognized as an expenditure in the funds when it is due,
and thus requires the use of current financial resources. In the statement of activities, however,
interest expense is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due.
Certain revenues are recognized as soon as they are earned. Under the modified accrual
basis of accounting certain revenues cannot be recognized until they are available
to liquidate liabilities of the current period.
Property taxes
Special assessments
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current
financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Medina, Minnesota (the City) operates under the "Optional Plan A" form of government as defined in the State
of Minnesota statutes. Under this plan, the government of the City is directed by a City Council composed of an elected
Mayor and four elected City Council Members. The City Council exercises legislative authority and determines all matters
of policy. The City Council appoints personnel responsible for the proper administration of all affairs relating to the City.
The City has considered all potential units for which it is financially accountable and other organizations for which the
nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that exclusion would cause the City's financial
statements to be misleading or incomplete. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has set forth criteria
to be considered in determining financial accountability. These criteria include appointing a voting majority of an
organization's governing body, and (1) the ability of the primary government to impose its will on that organization or
(2) the potential for the organization to provide specific benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on the City.
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 City. The City has the following component unit:
Blended Component Unit. The Medina Economic Development Authority (MEDA) 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. It is comprised of five members, all of which are City Council
members, and has a December 31 year end. The EDA activities are blended and reported in a Capital Project fund (Tax
Increment 1-9) due to substantively the same governing board and the financial benefit/burden relationship. Separate
financial statements are not issued for this component unit.
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 City. 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 segments are
offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly
benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that
are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items
not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. Major individual
governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial
statements.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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 and fiduciary 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 revenues to be available if they are collected
within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as
under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences
and claims and iudaments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be
susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special
assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the
current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the
City.
Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal value, is
recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. On a modified accrual basis, revenue is recorded in the
year in which the resources are measurable and become available.
Non -exchange transactions, in which the City receives value without directly giving equal value in return, include property
taxes, grants, entitlement and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the year for
which the tax is levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements and donations is recognized in the year in which all eligibility
requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the
resources are required to be used or the year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the City must
provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are
provided to the City on a reimbursement basis. On a modified accrual basis, revenue from non -exchange transactions
must also be available before it can be recognized.
Unearned revenue arises when assets are recognized before revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Grants and
entitlements received before eligibility requirements are met are also recorded as unearned revenue.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General fund is the government's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general
government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Debt Service fund accounts for the resources accumulated and payments made for principal and interest on long-
term general obligation debt of governmental funds.
The Sewer Capital Improvements fund accounts for the costs associated with replacement of the City's utility and
road systems.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Water fund accounts for the activities of the City's water distribution system, which are financed by the water
utility fee, and insure that user charges are sufficient to pay for those costs.
The Sewer fund accounts for the activities of the City's wastewater collection operations which are financed by the
sanitary sewer utility fee, and insure that user charges are sufficient to pay for those costs.
The Storm Water fund accounts for the activities of the City's storm water collection operations which are financed by
the storm sewer utility fee, and insure that user charges are sufficient to pay for those costs.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from government -wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and
expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary
fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City 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.

D. Assets, Deferred Outflows of Resources, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows of Resources and Net Position/Fund
Balance
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. The proprietary funds' portion in the
government -wide cash and temporary investments pool is considered to be cash and cash equivalents for purposes of the
statement of cash flows.
Cash balances from all funds are pooled and invested, to the extent available, in certificates of deposit and other
authorized investments. Earnings from such investments are allocated on the basis of applicable participation by each of
the funds.
The City may also invest idle funds as authorized by Minnesota statutes, as follows:
1. Direct obligations or obligations guaranteed by the United States or its agencies.
2. Shares of investment companies registered under the Federal Investment Company Act of 1940 and received the
highest credit rating, rated in one of the two highest rating categories by a statistical rating agency, and have a
final maturity of thirteen months or less.
3. General obligations of a state or local government with taxing powers rated "A" or better; revenue obligations
rated "AA" or better.
4. General obligations of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency rated "A" or better.
5. Obligation of a school district with an original maturity not exceeding 13 months and (i) rated in the highest
category by a national bond rating service or (ii) enrolled in the credit enhancement program pursuant to statute
section 126C.55.
6. Bankers' acceptances of United States banks eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System.
7. Commercial paper issued by United States banks corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries, of highest quality
category by at least two nationally recognized rating agencies, and maturing in 270 days or less.
8. Repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements with financial institutions
qualified as a "depository" by the government entity, with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System
with capitalization exceeding $10,000,000, a primary reporting dealer in U.S. government securities to the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, or certain Minnesota securities broker -dealers.
9. Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GIC's) issued or guaranteed by a United States commercial bank, a domestic
branch of a foreign bank, a United States insurance company, or its Canadian subsidiary, whose similar debt
obligations were rated in one of the top two rating categories by a nationally recognized rating agency.
Broker money market funds operate in accordance with appropriate state laws and regulations. The reported value of the
pool is the same as the fair value of the shares.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted
accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1
inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level
3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
50
City of Medina, Minnesota
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2020
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The City has the following recurring fair value measurements as of December 31, 2020:
• U.S. Government Agency securities of $1,498,530 are valued using quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs)
• Negotiable certificates of deposit of $10,316,909 are values using a matrix pricing model (Level 2 inputs)
The Minnesota Municipal Money Market Fund is regulated by Minnesota statutes and the Board of Directors of the
League of Minnesota Cities and is an external investment pool not registered with the Securities Exchange Commission
(SEC) that follows the regulatory rules of the SEC. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 79, the City's investment in
this pool is valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. There are no restrictions or limitations on
withdrawals from the 4M Liquid Asset Fund. Investments in the 4M Plus must be deposited for a minimum of 14 calendar
days. Withdrawals prior to the 14 -day restriction period will be subject to a penalty equal to seven days interest on the
amount withdrawn. Seven days' notice of redemption is required for withdrawals of investments in the 4M Term Series
withdrawn prior to the maturity date of that series. A penalty could be assessed as necessary to recoup the Series for any
charges, losses, and other costs attributable to the early redemption. Financial statements of the 4M Fund can be
obtained by contracting RBC Global Management at 100 South Fifth Street, Suite 2300, Minneapolis, MN 55402-1240.
At December 31, 2020, the City had no investments in one issuer (other than investments issued by or explicitly
guaranteed by U.S. government, mutual funds, external investment pools, and other pooled investments) that represent
5 percent or more of the City's investments. The investment in the Minnesota Municipal Money Market Mutual Fund is
not subject to the custodial credit risk classifications as noted in paragraph 9 of GASB Statement No. 40.
Property Taxes
The City Council annually adopts a tax levy and certifies it to the County in December for collection the following year. The
County is responsible for collecting all property taxes for the City. These taxes attach an enforceable lien on taxable
property within the City on January 1 and are payable by the property owners in two installments. The taxes are collected
by the County Treasurer and tax settlements are made to the City during January, July and December each year.
Delinquent taxes receivable include the past six years' uncollected taxes. Delinquent taxes have been offset by a deferred
inflow of resources for delinquent taxes not received within 60 days after year end in the fund financial statements.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable include amounts billed for services provided before year end. Unbilled utility enterprise fund
receivables are also included for services provided in 2020. The City annually certifies delinquent water, sewer and storm
water accounts to the County for collection in the following year. As a result, there has been no allowance for doubtful
accounts established for the enterprise funds.
Special Assessments
Special assessments represent the financing for public improvements paid for by benefiting property owners.
Assessments were also completed for unreimbursed costs and uncollected City charges for services. These assessments
are recorded as receivables upon certification to the County. Special assessments are recognized as revenue when they
are certified to the County or received in cash or within 60 days after year end. All governmental special assessments
receivable are offset by a deferred inflow of resources in the fund financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2020
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
interfund Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year
are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other
funds" (i.e., the non -current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due
to/from other funds." Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business -type activities
are reported in the government -wide financial statements as "internal balances."
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.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and
similar items) are reported in the applicable governmental or business -type activities columns in the government -wide
financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000
(amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of three years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or
estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. The City reports infrastructure assets on a network and subsystem
basis. Accordingly, the amounts spent for the construction or acquisition on infrastructure assets are capitalized and
reported in the government -wide financial statements.
In the case of the initial capitalization of general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by governmental activities) the
City chose to include all assets accounted for prospectively from the phase 3 GASB 34 implementation date. As the City
constructs or acquires additional capital assets each period, including infrastructure assets, they are capitalized and
reported at historical cost.
The reported value excludes normal maintenance and repairs which are essentially amounts spent in relation to capital
assets that do not increase the capacity or efficiency of the item or extend its useful life beyond the original estimate.
Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the time of donation.
Property, plant and equipment of the City are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated
useful lives:
Assets
Useful Lives
in Years
Buildings 20 to 40
Land Improvements 20
Building Improvements 20
Furniture and Equipment 5 to 10
Light Vehicles 3 to 5
Machinery and Equipment 5 to 10
Heavy Trucks 7 to 10
Infrastructure 25 to 40

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Deferred Outflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net 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 not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure)
until then. The City has two items which qualify for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the items, deferred pension
resources and deferred other postemployment benefit resources, are reported only in the statement of net position.
These items result from actuarial calculations and current year pension contributions and OPEB contributions made
subsequent to the measurement dates.
Compensated Absences
The City compensates employees who resign or retire in good standing for all unused vacation. Sick leave may be
accumulated and banked to a maximum of 960 hours for full-time and regular part-time employees. For sick leave
accumulated is excess of 960 hours, the employee may bank the hours in an account established by the City for
retirement health insurance premiums. An employee who leaves employment voluntarily, with four of more years of
service with the City and gives a 14 calendar day notice of termination of employment will be paid at the base rate of pay,
one-third of accumulated sick leave hours. Any sick leave banked in excess of 960 hours will be forfeited. Two options are
available in regards to accrued sick leave for an employee who voluntarily leaves after 20 or more years of service with
the City. After giving at least a 14 day notice of termination of employment an employee may receive payment for one-half
of all accrued sick leave at the employee's base rate of pay at the time of termination including sick leave banked in
excess of 960 hours. A second option allows the employee to give the City at least 14 days' notice of termination of
employment; which then allows the employee to place any accrued sick leave into the retirement health insurance
account including sick leave banked in excess of 960 hours converted to a monetary value by using the employees base
rate of pay for that year.
Compensation time is also paid out upon termination. All hourly employees can earn compensation time for every hour of
overtime they work. Each hour of overtime is accrued into 1.5 hours of compensation time. Also, a police employee who
works any of the 11 holidays can accrue at a rate of 1.5 compensation hours per hour worked and be paid out for accruals
over 80 hours. Vacation, sick, and compensation time pay are considered expenditures in the year paid in the
governmental fund statements. This differs from the proprietary and government -wide statements where vacation, sick,
and compensation pay are expensed when earned. The General fund is typically used to liquidate governmental
compensated absences.
Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions
Under Minnesota statute 471.61, subdivision 2b., public employers must allow retirees and their dependents to continue
coverage indefinitely in an employer -sponsored health care plan, under the following conditions: 1) Retirees must be
receiving (or eligible to receive) an annuity from a Minnesota public pension plan, 2) Coverage must continue in group
plan until age 65, and retirees must pay no more than the group premium, and 3) Retirees may obtain dependent
coverage immediately before retirement. All premiums are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. The liability was actuarially
determined, in accordance with GASB Statement 75, at January 1, 2019. The General fund is typically used to liquidate
the governmental liability.
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. Recognition of bond premiums and discounts are delayed and
amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond
premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as an expense in the period incurred.
53
City of Medina, Minnesota
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2020
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognized bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond
issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources.
Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are
reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are
reported as debt service expenditures.
Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense,
information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) and additions
to/deductions from PERA's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by PERA
except that PERA's fiscal year end is June 30. For this purpose, plan contributions are recognized as of employer payroll
paid dates and benefit payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Investments are reported at fair value. The General fund is typically used to liquidate the governmental net pension
liability.

Deferred inflows of Resources
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and fund financial statements will sometimes report a separate
section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources,
represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of
resources (revenue) until that time. The City has one type of item, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of
accounting that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the
governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from two sources: delinquent
taxes and special assessments. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that
the amounts become available.
Furthermore, the City has additional items which qualify for reporting in this category on the statement of net position.
The items, deferred pension resources and deferred other postemployment benefit resources, are reported only in the
statement of net position and results from actuarial calculations involving net differences between projected and actual
earnings on plan investments and changes in proportions.
Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources and liabilities and deferred inflows
of resources. Net position is displayed in three components:
a. Net investment in capital assets - Consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation reduced by any
outstanding debt attributable to acquire capital assets.
b. Restricted net position - Consists of net position balances restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use
through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, laws or regulations of other governments.
c. Unrestricted net position - All other net position that do not meet the definition of "restricted" or "net investment in
capital assets".
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use restricted resources
first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

December 31, 2020
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, fund balance is divided into five classifications based primarily on the extent to which the
City is bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of resources reported in the governmental funds. These
classifications are defined as follows:
Nonspendable - Amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items.
Restricted - Amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by creditors, grantors or contributors; or
constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
Committed - Amounts constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed by formal action (resolution) of the
City Council, which is the City's highest level of decision -making authority. Committed amounts cannot be used for
any other purpose unless the City Council modifies or rescinds the commitment by resolution.
Assigned - Amounts constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed. In governmental funds other than
the General fund, assigned fund balance represents all remaining amounts that are not classified as nonspendable
and are neither restricted nor committed. In the General fund, assigned amounts represent intended uses established
by the City Council itself or by an official to which the governing body delegates the authority. The City Council has
adopted a fund balance policy which delegates the authority to assign amounts for specific purposes to the City
Administrator.
Unassigned - The residual classification for the General fund and also negative residual amounts in other funds.
The City considers restricted amounts to be spent first when both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available.
Additionally, the City would first use committed, then assigned, and lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund
balance when expenditures are made.
The City has formally adopted a fund balance policy for the General fund. The City's policy is to maintain an unrestricted
fund balance in the General fund of the greater of (1) 50 percent of the next year's General fund property tax levy, or (2) a
minimum of five months of the next year's budgeted expenditures of the General fund.
Note 2: Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability
A. Budgetary Information
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for the General and all special revenue funds. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. The City does
not use encumbrance accounting.
In July of each year, all departments of the City submit requests for appropriations to the City Administrator so that a
budget may be prepared. Before September 30th, the proposed budget is presented to the City Council for review. The
City Council holds public hearings and a final budget is prepared and adopted in December.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. The City's department heads, with the approval of
the City Administrator, may make transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers of appropriations between
departments require the approval of the City Council. The legal level of budgetary control is the department level.
Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted, or as amended by the City Council. There were no budget amendments
during the year.

A. Deposits and Investments
Deposits
Custodial credit risk for deposits and investments is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City's deposits and
investments may not be returned or the City will not be able to recover collateral securities in the possession of an outside
party. 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 fair value of
collateral pledged must equal 110 percent of the deposits not covered by insurance or bonds, with the exception of
irrevocable standby letters of credit issued by Federal Home Loan Banks as this type of collateral only requires collateral
pledged equal to 100 percent of the deposits not covered by insurance or bonds.

The investments of the City are subject to the following risk:
• Credit Risk: This is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. State
law limits investments in commercial paper and corporate bonds to be in the top two ratings issued by nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations. The City's investment policy states the instruments that the City will
invest in will be consistent with the GFOA Policy Statement on the State and Local Laws Concerning Investment
Practices and Minnesota statutes 118A. It also states investments in derivatives shall not be allowed.
• Custodial Credit Risk - Deposits: For deposits, this is the risk that in the event of bank failure the City's deposits
may not be returned to it. The City has a policy in place to address custodial credit risk for deposits, stating all
demand deposit accounts, including checking accounts and nonnegotiable certificates of deposit, in accordance
with the GFOA Recommended Practices on the Collateralization of Public Deposits and Minnesota statutes 118A
will be required to be fully collateralized.
• Interest Rate Risk: This is the risk that market values of securities in a portfolio would decrease due to changes in
market interest rates. The City's investment policy states the City will minimize interest rate rise by structuring the
portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations and investing operating
funds primarily in shorter term securities, money market mutual funds or similar investment pools and limiting the
average maturity of the portfolio. The policy states the City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than
10 years from the date of purchase or in accordance with the state and local statutes and ordinances unless
matched to a specific cash flow. The policy also states the investments will be diversified by investing in securities
with varying maturities, continuously investing at least 10 percent of the portfolio in readily available funds such as
LGIPs, money market funds to ensure that appropriate liquidity is maintained and never investing more than
20 percent of the portfolio in securities with final maturities greater than five years.
• Concentration of Credit Risk: This is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an investment in a single
issuer. The City's investment policy states the City will limit investments to avoid over concentration in securities
from a specific issuer or business sector, excluding U.S. Treasury securities and limiting investments in securities
that have higher credit risks and investing in securities with varying maturities. The policy also states the City will
diversify the investment portfolio so the impact of potential losses from any one type of security or from any one
individual issuer will be minimized.

Note 4: Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Statewide
A. Plan Description
The City participates in the following cost -sharing multiple -employer defined benefit pension plans administered by the
Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). PERA's defined benefit pension plans are established
and administered in accordance with Minnesota statutes, chapters 353 and 356. PERA's defined benefit pension plans
are tax qualified plans under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
General Employees Retiremen Plan
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City are covered by the General Employees Plan. General Employees
Plan members belong to the Coordinated Plan. Coordinated Plan members are covered by Social Security.
Public Employees Police and Fire Plan
The Police and Fire Plan, originally established for police officers and firefighters not covered by a local relief association,
now covers all police officers and firefighters hired since 1980. Effective July 1, 1999, the Police and Fire Plan also
covers police officers and firefighters belonging to a local relief association that elected to merge with and transfer assets
and administration to PERA.
B. Benefits Provided
PERA provides retirement, disability and death benefits. Benefit provisions are established by state statute and can only
be modified by the state Legislature. 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.
General Employee Plan Benefits
General Employees Plan benefits are based on a member's highest average salary for any five successive years of
allowable service, age, and years of credit at termination of service. Two methods are used to compute benefits for
PERA's Coordinated Plan members. Members hired prior to July 1, 1989 receive the higher of Method 1 or Method 2
formulas. Only Method 2 is used for members hired after June 30, 1989. Under Method 1, the accrual rate for Coordinated
members is 1.2 percent of average salary for each of the first 10 years of service and 1.7 percent of average salary for
each additional year. Under Method 2, the accrual rate for Coordinated members is 1.7 percent for average salary for all
years of service. For members hired prior to July 1, 1989 a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal
90 and normal retirement age is 65. For members hired on or after July 1, 1989 normal retirement age is the age for
unreduced Social Security benefits capped at 66.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. Beginning in 2019, the postretirement increase will be
equal to 50 percent of the cost -of -living adjustment (COLA) announced by the SSA, with a minimum increase of at least 1
percent and a maximum of 1.5 percent. Recipients that have been receiving the annuity or benefit for at least a full year
as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase will receive the full increase. For recipients receiving the
annuity or benefit for at least one month but less than a full year as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase
will receive a reduced prorated increase. For members retiring on January 1, 2024, or later, the increase will be delayed
until normal retirement age (age 65 if hired prior to July 1, 1989, or age 66 for individuals hired on or after July 1, 1989).
Members retiring under Rule of 90 are exempt from the delay to normal retirement.
Police and Fire Plan Benefits
Benefits for Police and Fire Plan members first hired after June 30, 2010, but before July 1, 2014, vest on a prorated basis
from 50 percent after five years up to 100 percent after ten years of credited service. Benefits for Police and Fire Plan
members first hired after June 30, 2014 vest on a prorated basis from 50 percent after ten years up to 100 percent after
twenty years of credited service. The annuity accrual rate is 3 percent of average salary for each year of service. For
Police and Fire Plan members who were first hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full annuity is available when age plus years of
service equal at least 90.

City of Medina, Minnesota
Notes to the Financial Statements

fixed at 1 percent. Recipients that have been receiving the annuity or benefit for at least 36 months as of the June 30
before the effective date of the increase will receive the full increase. For recipients receiving the annuity or benefit for at
least 25 months but less than 36 months as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase will receive a reduced
prorated increase.
C. Contributions
Minnesota statutes chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. Contribution rates can only be
modified by the state Legislature.

D. Pension Costs
General Employees Fund Pension Costs
At December 31, 2020, the City reported a liability of $1,001,241 for its proportionate share of the General Employees
Fund's net pension liability. The City's net pension liability reflected a reduction due to the State of Minnesota's
contribution of $16 million. The State of Minnesota is considered a non -employer contributing entity and the state's
contribution meets the definition of a special funding situation. The State of Minnesota's proportionate share of the net
pension liability associated with the City totaled $30,848. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2020, and
the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that
date. The City's proportionate share of the net pension liability was based on the City's contributions received by PERA
during the measurement period for employer payroll paid dates from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 relative to the
total employer contributions received from all of PERA's participating employers. The City's proportionate share was
0.0167 percent which was a decrease of 0.0001 percent from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2019.

At December 31, 2020, the City reported a liability of $1,063,712 for its proportionate share of the Police and Fire Fund's
net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2020, and the total pension liability used to
calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The City's proportionate share
of the net pension liability was based on the City's contributions received by PERA during the measurement period for
employer payroll paid dates from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 relative to the total employer contributions received
from all of PERA's participating employers. The City's proportionate share was 0.0807 percent which was a decrease of
0.0031 percent from its proportionate share measured as of June 30, 2019.
The State of Minnesota also contributed $13.5 million to the Police and Fire Fund in the plan fiscal year ended
June 30, 2020. The contribution consisted of $4.5 million in direct state aid that does meet the definition of a special
funding situation and $9.0 million in fire state aid that does not meet the definition of a special funding situation. The $4.5
million direct state was paid on October 1, 2019. Thereafter, by October 1 of each year, the state will pay $9 million to the
Police and Fire Fund until full funding is reached or July 1, 2048, whichever is earlier. The $9 million in fire state aid will
continue until the fund is 90 percent funded, or until the State Patrol Plan (administered by the Minnesota State
Retirement System) is 90 percent funded, whichever occurs later.

As a result, the State of Minnesota is included as a non -employer contributing entity in the Police and Fire Retirement
Plan Schedule of Employer Allocations and Schedule of Pension Amounts by Employer, Current Reporting Period Only
(pension allocation schedules) for the $4.5 million in direct state aid. Police and Fire Plan employers need to recognize
their proportionate share of the State of Minnesota's pension expense (and grant revenue) under GASB 68 special
funding situation accounting and financial reporting requirements. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the City
recognized pension of $113,094 for its proportionate share of Police and Fire Plan's pension expense.
The State of Minnesota is not included as a non -employer contributing entity in the Police and Fire Pension Plan pension
allocation schedules for the $9 million in fire state aid. The City also recognized $7,667 for the year ended
December 31, 2020 as revenue and an offsetting reduction of net pension liability for its proportionate share of the State
of Minnesota's on -behalf contributions to the Police and Fire Fund.

Note 4: Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Statewide (Continued)
Salary increases were based on a service -related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees, survivors and
disabilitants were based on RP -2014 tables for males or females, as appropriate, with slight adjustments to fit PERA's
experience. Cost of living benefit increases after retirement for retirees are assumed to be 1.25 percent per year for
General Employees Plan and 1.0 percent per year for Police and Fire Plan.
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2020 valuation were based on the results of actuarial experience studies. The
most recent four-year experience study in the General Employees Plan was completed in 2019. The assumption changes
were adopted by the Board and become effective with the July 1, 2020 actuarial valuation. The most recent four-year
experience study for the Police and Fire Plan was completed in 2020. The recommended assumptions for that plan were
adopted by the Board and will be effective with the July 1, 2021 actuarial valuations if approved by the Legislature.
The following changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions occurred in 2020:
General Employees Fund
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions
• The price inflation assumption was decreased from 2.50% to 2.25%.
• The payroll growth assumption was decreased from 3.25% to 3.00%.
• Assumed salary increase rates were changed as recommended in the June 30, 2019 experience study. The net
effect is assumed rates that average 0.25% less than previous rates.
• Assumed rates of retirement were changed as recommended in the June 30, 2019 experience study. The
changes result in more unreduced (normal) retirements and slightly fewer Rule of 90 and early retirements.
• Assumed rates of termination were changed as recommended in the June 30, 2019 experience study. The new
rates are based on service and are generally lower than the previous rates for years 2-5 and slightly higher
thereafter.
• Assumed rates of disability were changed as recommended in the June 30, 2019 experience study. The change
results in fewer predicted disability retirements for males and females.
• The base mortality table for healthy annuitants and employees was changed from the RP -2014 table to the Pub -
2010 General Mortality table, with adjustments. The base mortality table for disabled annuitants was changed
from the RP -2014 disabled annuitant mortality table to the PUB -2010 General/Teacher disabled annuitant
mortality table, with adjustments.
• The mortality improvement scale was changed from Scale MP -2018 to Scale MP -2019.
• The assumed spouse age difference was changed from two years older for females to one year older.
The assumed number of married male new retirees electing the 100% Joint & Survivor option changed from 35%
to 45%. The assumed number of married female new retirees electing the 100% Joint & Survivor option changed
from 15% to 30%. The corresponding number of married new retirees electing the Life annuity option was
adjusted accordingly
Changes in Plan Provisions
• Augmentation for current privatized members was reduced to 2.0% for the period July 1, 2020 through
December 31, 2023 and 0.0% after. Augmentation was eliminated for privatizations occurring after June 30, 2020.

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 basis using a building-block method in which best -estimate ranges
of expected future rates of return are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce an
expected long-term rate of return by weighting the expected future rates of return by the target asset allocation
percentages. The target allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are
summarized in the following table:

The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2020 was 7.50 percent. The projection of cash flows used
to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members and employers will be made at rates set in
Minnesota Statutes. Based on these assumptions, the fiduciary net position of the General Employees Fund and the
Police and Fire Fund were projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan
members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of
projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Note 5: Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions
A. Plan Description
The City operates a single -employer retiree benefit plan ("the Plan") that provides health, life and dental insurance to
eligible employees and their families through the City's health insurance plan. The full cost of the benefits is covered by
the plan. Benefit and eligibility provisions are established through negotiations between the City and various unions
representing City employees and are renegotiated each two-year bargaining period. The Plan does not issue a publicly
available report. At December 31, 2020, 25 active plan members were covered by the benefit terms
B. Funding Policy
Contribution requirements are also negotiated between the City and union representatives. The City contributes a
predetermined portion of the cost of current -year premiums for eligible retired plan members and their spouses based on
the employment contract in effect at the time of retirement. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the City's average
contribution rate was 6.15 percent of covered -employee payroll.
C. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the
employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the
historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods
and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial
accrued liabilities, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
The City's total OPEB liability of $141,911 was measured as of December 31, 2020, and the total OPEB liability used to
calculate the total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2019. Roll forward procedures
were used to roll forward the total OPEB liability to the measurement date.
The total OPEB liability in the January 1, 2019 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial
assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:
Discount Rate
20 -Year Municipal Bond Yield
Inflation Rate
Salary Increases
Medical Trend Rate
2.12%
2.12%
2.75%
3.25%
7.50% in 2020 decreasing 0.50% per year to ultimate rate of 5.0(
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 2.12 percent. The plan is not funded. Benefit payments are
discounted at the 20 -year municipal bond rate. The equivalent single rate is the discount rate. Mortality rates were based
on the RP -2014 White Collar Mortality Tables with MP -2016 Generational Improvement Scale.
The actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2020 valuation were based on input from a variety of published
sources of historical and projected future financial data. Each assumption was reviewed for reasonableness with the
source information as well as for consistency with the other economic assumptions.

Note 6: Other Information
A. 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.
B. Legal Debt Margin
In accordance with Minnesota statutes, the City may not incur or be subject to net debt in excess of 3 percent of the
market value of taxable property within the City. The City has no debt applicable to this limit at year end.
C. Tax Increment Districts
The City's tax increment district is subject to review by the State of Minnesota Office of the State Auditor (OSA). Any
disallowed claims or misuse of tax increments could become a liability of the applicable fund. Management has indicated
that they are not aware of any instances of noncompliance which would have a material effect on the financial statements.

Note 9: COVID-19
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") announced a global health emergency because of a new
strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") and the risks to the international community as virus spreads globally. On
March 11, 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure
globally. In response to the pandemic, the State of Minnesota has issued stay-at-home orders and other measures aimed
at slowing the spread of the coronavirus.
The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. Due to the rapid development
and fluidity of this situation, the City cannot determine the ultimate impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its
financial condition, liquidity, and future revenue collection, and therefore any prediction as to the ultimate impact on the
City's financial condition, liquidity, and future results of its revenue collections is uncertain.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Medina, Minnesota
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial
statements the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City of Medina, Minnesota (the City), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related
notes to the financial statements which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements, and have issued our
report thereon dated April 29, 2021.
In connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City of Medina failed to
comply with the provisions of the contracting and bidding, deposits and investments, conflicts of interest, public
indebtedness, claims and disbursements, miscellaneous provisions, and tax increment financing sections of the
Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Cities, promulgated by the State Auditor pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 6.65,
insofar as they relate to accounting matters. However, our audit was not directed primarily toward obtaining knowledge of
such noncompliance. Accordingly, had we performed additional procedures, other matters may have come to our
attention regarding the City's noncompliance with the above referenced provisions, insofar as they relate to accounting
matters.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of those charged with governance and management of the City
of Medina and the State Auditor and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified
parties.

Schedule of Findings and Reponses
For the Year Ended December 31, 2020
Finding Description
2020-001 Preparation of Financial Statements
Condition: As auditors, we were requested to draft the audited financial statements and related footnote
disclosures as part of our regular audit services. Auditing standards require auditors to
communicate this situation to the City Council as an internal control deficiency. Ultimately, it is
management's responsibility to provide for the preparation of your statements and footnotes, and
the responsibility of the auditor to determine the fairness of presentation of those statements. It is
our responsibility to inform you that this deficiency could result in a material misstatement to the
financial statements that could have been prevented or detected by your management.
Essentially, the auditors cannot be part of your internal control process.
Criteria: Internal controls should be in place to provide reasonable assurance over financial reporting.
Cause: From a practical standpoint we do both for you at the same time in connection with our audit. This
is not unusual for us to do with an organization of your size.
Effect: The effectiveness of the internal control system relies on enforcement by management. The
effect of deficiencies in internal controls can result in undetected errors in financial reporting.
Recommendation: It is the responsibility of the City to make the decision to accept this degree of risk associated with
this condition because of cost or other considerations. We have requested management to review
a draft of the auditor prepared financials in detail for their accuracy; we have answered any
questions they might have, and have encouraged research of any accounting guidance in
connection with the adequacy and appropriateness of classification of disclosure in your
statements. We are satisfied that the appropriate steps have been taken to provide you with the
completed financial statements. While the City is reviewing the financial statements we
recommend that the City agree its financial software to the numbers reported in the financial
statements.
Management Response:
The City's management accepts the degree of risk associated with this condition and thoroughly reviews a draft of the
financial statements.

Schedule of Findings and Reponses (Continued)
For the Year Ended December 31, 2020
Finding Description
2020-002 Coronavirus Relief Fund
Condition: During our Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) compliance testing procedures, we reviewed City
costs applied to the program as reported to the State of Minnesota and identified questioned
costs of $4,224. The questioned expenses were paid November 17, 2020, after the program end
date.
Criteria:
Cause:
Effect:
The Department of the Treasury Coronavirus Relief Fund program guidance states revenue
replacement is not a permissible use of Fund payments. The State of Minnesota required Cities
to either spend CRF funds by November 15, 2020 or return any unspent funds by November 20,
2020.
The City was aware of the program compliance requirement, however the checks were paid past
the deadline due to the date of the City Council meeting date and approval of payments.
The City is out of compliance with the CRF program
Recommendation: We recommend City staff ensure future expenditures are spent withing the grant period. This may
involve considering additional options or modifications to the purchasing policy.
Management Response:
The City considered the expense paid to the vendor via credit card within the grant spending period. The credit card
statement was paid two days after the grant period due to the scheduling of the City Council meeting. The City amended
the final report to the State of Minnesota, restating the expenses to remove the election expenses considered past the
deadline to eligible public safety expenses that where within the grant period. The State of Minnesota accepted the
amended final report.

Wetland Replacement City Council Meeting
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Martin and Members of the City Council
FROM: Dusty Finke, Planning Director
DATE: May 13, 2021
MEETING: May 18, 2021 City Council
SUBJ: Chippewa Road – Arrowhead Drive to Mohawk Drive –
Wetland Replacement
Background
The City’s transportation plan identifies the need for the construction of Chippewa Road
between Arrowhead Drive and Mohawk Drive. The City completed a study on this corridor in
2019 and established a preferred conceptual layout. There is a large wetland which the street
will need to traverse.
The City Council granted preliminary plat approval to the Weston Woods development in
January 2021. The project includes construction of Chippewa Road as part of the improvements
connected with the development. To allow for the construction, the City intended to complete
permitting with various agencies related to the wetland impacts and also to pay for the costs of
required wetland replacement.
Permitting for the street included the US Corps of Engineers, Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and Elm Creek Watershed. The City of
Medina is also the local government unit responsible for implementing the Minnesota Wetland
Conservation Act.
Construction of the roadway is projected to impact a total of 2.81 acres of the wetland. This
includes 0.37 acre of DNR regulated wetlands and 2.44 acre of adjacent wetlands regulated by
the Wetland Conservation Act.
The City proposes to purchase credits from a wetland replacement bank at a 2:1 ratio to mitigate
the wetland impacts.
For the sake of the Wetland Conservation Act Replacement Plan, the City is both the applicant
and the decision-making agency. As the regulatory authority, the City is advised by a Technical
Evaluation Panel (TEP) which includes representatives from all the relevant agencies. The
recommended decision accounts for the comments of the TEP to the extent possible. The
primary comment from the TEP was a desire that ½ of the credits be purchased from a bank in
Hennepin County. The City has secured just under ½ of the credits (2.25 acres) from a Hennepin
County bank, but was not able to find additional credits from Hennepin County. Additional
credits are available in Anoka County, a downstream watershed.
Review by other agencies is still underway, but at this time staff has not received comments
which would suggest the projected impacts and replacement will not be approved.
Agenda Item # 8A
Chippewa Road – Arrowhead to Mohawk Page 2 of 2 May 18, 2021
Wetland Replacement City Council Meeting
Replacement Costs
The cost of the wetland credits plus required fees is projected to be approximately $615,000.
The City estimated $575,000-$650,000 for wetland
replacement costs during the Chippewa Road Study
and review of the Weston Woods development.
In terms of funding the replacement costs, staff has identified a couple of options. The City
Council does not need to decide how to finance the costs at this time, but staff wanted to provide
the options:
1) Road Improvement Fund – Current balance: $917,000
2) Road Improvement Fund; consider issuing bonds
3) Road Improvement Fund + Developer contribution (in exchange for water fee reduction,
see below)
The Weston Woods development proposes to install a watermain between Arrowhead Drive and
Mohawk Drive in addition to the roadway. The developer proposes to construct this at their cost
because it is infrastructure necessary to support the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to allow
development earlier than 2025. This will remove the watermain as a future City cost. Because
the City’s connection fees were established based upon the assumption that the City would need
to contribute to this cost, there is an opportunity to provide water connection fee credits to the
developer if they provide funds towards replacement. This would be documented in the
development agreement upon final plat review. The City’s CIP currently includes $400,000 for
the watermain construction project.
Recommended Actions
1) Move to authorize payment of wetland replacement costs related to the Chippewa Road
Extension project.
2) Move to approve the Wetland Conservation Act Replacement Plan application for the
Chippewa Road Extension Project.

Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor Martin and Medina City Council Members
From: Alison Harwood, WSB
Date: May 10, 2021
Re: Chippewa Road Extension Project Replacement Plan
City Project No. WR-21-147
WSB Project No. 17510-000
The Chippewa Road Extension project consists of the extension of Chippewa Road by
approximately 0.5 mile from its current termini at Mohawk Drive to Arrowhead Drive. The
applicant proposes 2.44 acre of permanent impact to two WCA-regulated wetlands for
construction of the roadway. Replacement for permanent impacts is proposed at a 2:1 ratio
through purchase of wetland banking credits. To replace for the impacts to WCA-regulated
wetlands, 4.88 acres of wetland credit will be purchased from two banks: 2.25 acres from Bank
No. 1649 located in Hennepin County and 2.63 acres from Bank No. 1664 located in Anoka
County. Both banks are located within Major Watershed 20 and Bank Service Area 7. An
additional 0.74 acre of credit will be purchased to offset DNR Public Water impacts.
The application was noticed to the Wetland Conservation Act Technical Evaluation Panel on April
6, 2021. Comments were allowed until April 30, 2021. Members of the TEP (LGU, Hennepin
Conservation District, Elm Creek Watershed District, DNR, and BWSR) met on April 28, 2021 to
discuss the replacement plan. One formal comment was received from Hennepin County
requesting at least ½ of the replacement credits come from within Hennepin County. The City
responded by obtaining 2.25 acres of credit from a bank within Hennepin County. These were the
only USACE-approved credits within the county. The remaining credit will come from a bank in
Anoka County.
On behalf of the City of Medina, Local Government Unit for the Wetland Conservation Act, I
recommend that the City Council approves the wetland replacement plan for the Chippewa Road
Extension project. A Notice of Decision is attached for review.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Ron Batty, city attorney
DATE: May 13, 2021
RE: Terminating Local Emergency and Returning to In-Person Meetings
This memo outlines matters the city should take into consideration when determining when and how to end the
local emergency and transition back to in-person meetings.
On May 6, 2021, Governor Walz signed Executive Order 21-21: Safely Sunsetting COVID-19 Public Health
Restrictions. EO 21-21 provides the anticipated timeline for sunsetting COVID-19 restrictions, including most
capacity restrictions by May 28, and almost all other restrictions by July 1 or when 70% of Minnesotans ages
16 or older have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
It is important to note that Governor Walz has not announced an end date for the statewide emergency and is
unlikely to do so until he decides how to wind down the remaining emergency regulations, such as the eviction
moratorium. Nothing in EO 21-21 requires the city to end its local emergency or return to in-person meetings.
LOCAL EMERGENCY
Medina’s local emergency is not directly tied to the statewide emergency and therefore will need to be
terminated independently. Mayor Martin issued Mayoral Declaration No. 2020-1 declaring a local emergency
on March 16, 2020. The following day the city council extended the local emergency until further action by
the city council. The continuation of the local emergency is within the discretion of the city council.
The decision to terminate a local emergency should be based on the factors used to justify the initial declaration.
Additionally, the city will want to consider the effects of terminating the local emergency, including the impact
to mutual aid agreements and emergency operations plans, and any emergency regulations, such as
administrative flexibility, enacted by the city based on the local emergency.
REMOTE MEETINGS
Minn. Stat. 13D.021 allows cities to conduct public meetings entirely remotely when an authorized official
(generally the mayor) determines that an in-person meeting or a meeting conducted under Minn. Stat. 13D.02.1
is not practical or prudent because of a health pandemic or a local or statewide emergency declared under Minn.
Stat. Ch. 12. On March 16, 2020 Mayor Martin issued a Statement and Determination Regarding Conducting
1 Minn. Stat. 13D.02 allows entities to conduct public meetings with members participating remotely. This includes
governing bodies (e.g., city council or EDA) and any committee, subcommittee, board, department or commission of
a public body. It is a tool that is always available, but members participating from remote locations must generally
make that location open to the public. However, two new exceptions allow participation from a location that is not
accessible to the public: (i) an unlimited number of times from December 31, 2020-July 1, 2021 (Laws of Minnesota
2021, chapter 14, section 7) and (ii) three times in a calendar year during a statewide emergency or within 60 days of
termination, and a health care professional has advised against attending (Minn. Stat. 13D.02, subd 1(b)).

Agenda Item #9A

ME230-1A-721036.v1
Meetings by Telephone or Other Electronic Means which made the determination that all meetings would be
virtual until further notice.
To return to in-person meetings, the mayor needs to make a new determination that meetings will no longer be
conducted under Minn. Stat. 13D.021 or modify the previous determination to provide for hybrid meetings.
This decision belongs to the mayor alone.2
Returning to in-person meetings may occur at any time but must be done when none of the following exists:
(i) statewide emergency; (ii) local emergency; or (iii) health pandemic. If both local and statewide emergencies
are terminated, the only basis for conducting meetings under Minn. Stat. 13D.021 is the existence of a health
pandemic. However, relying on a declared local or statewide emergency is the safer approach because there is
no definition in state law of a ‘health pandemic” and no guidance as to whom has the authority to declare one.
If and when the mayor makes the determination that virtual meetings are no longer required, all commissions
of the city must follow suit.
OTHER FACTORS TO CONSIDER
Executive Order 20-55: The city should continue to offer to the public the ability to monitor meetings remotely
until Executive Order 20-55 is rescinded on July 1 or when Minnesota reaches its vaccination goals. EO 20-55
strongly encourages “at-risk” persons (defined as persons 65 years and older, living in a nursing home or long-
term care facility, or any age with certain medical conditions) to stay at home.
COVID-19 Preparedness Plans: The city’s COVID-19 Preparedness Plans must be in place until EO 21-21 is
rescinded on July 1 or when Minnesota meets it vaccination goals. The city must update its Plan if it changes
any practices or procedures, including those related to ending the local emergency or returning to in-person
meetings.
CONCLUSION
With Governor Walz’s announcement of the timeline for sunsetting public health restrictions, the city may
want to begin planning how it will end its local emergency and transition back to in-person meetings. As
the city adjusts its practices, it will also need to update its COVID-19 Plan accordingly until July 1 or when
Minnesota reaches its vaccination goals. The following is a summary of the above:
Local Emergency
• The local emergency may only be terminated by the city council.
• Termination should be based on the same factors used initially to declare the local emergency.
• Terminating the local emergency might impact the city’s ability to utilize portions of its emergency
operations plan, mutual aid agreements, and any emergency regulations implemented by the city.
Conducting Meetings Under Minn. Stat. 13D.021
• May continue until there is no longer a local or statewide emergency or health pandemic. In practice,
the city should not rely on there being a health pandemic if no local or statewide emergency is in effect.
• The mayor has exclusive authority to determine that meetings will return to being in-person or a hybrid
version.
• After the determination has been made that meetings will no longer be conducted under Minn. Stat.
13D.021, all commissions must also return to the same form of meetings practiced by the city council.
• Until EO 20-55 is rescinded, the city should continue to offer an option for remote participation by the
public.
2 The paragraph in Executive Order 21-11 that strongly encourages public meetings be held remotely is set to expire
on May 28. However, that paragraph’s expiration has no impact on the city’s ability to conduct meetings remotely.

RE: Department Updates
As the summer months start to get close, we are seeing an uptick in calls for service. I am also
noticing this week that it seems as though the morning and evening commutes are busier, and things
appear that we are getting back to some form of normalcy.
Everyone is healthy, and we are just happy to finally be fully staffed after a year and a half of trying
to hire our 11th officer. We are happy to say that we have both our full time and part time
administrative assistants working together very well. Nicole Jacobson has been a breath of fresh air
and brings to our office a positive attitude and a smiling face every day that she is here. As for the
CSO position, Justin Cook will be a great addition as things go forward. We wish Patrick Johnson
the best of luck in his police career.
We are finishing up our triannual audits with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Administrative
Assistant Klaers has been working on this for the past few weeks. We are also working on a 2021
Information Technology Audit for the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension that is being completed by
Shawn Larson of Morris Communications and Mike Brocco.
I received and approved an event application from the Hamel Lions. With the loosening of the
restrictions by Governor Walz last week, they decided to move forward with the Hamel Parade. I
met with organizers of the parade this week and they are excited to put on this event for the

MEMORANDUM
On 04/28/2021 an officer took a theft report from a residence in the 300 block of Lythrum Lane. A
resident reported a package had been stolen after being delivered by the local post office. There
have been other reports made in this area of packages being taken after delivery.
On 05/03/2021 an officer was dispatched to a pursuit that was headed westbound on Highway 55
from Plymouth. Prior to entering Medina, the suspect vehicle was disabled, and multiple occupants
were arrested. Several firearms were recovered from the vehicle as well. Our officer assisted with
traffic control until the roadway could be reopened for traffic.
On 05/06/2021 officers were dispatched to a domestic in the 400 block of Hamel Road. Upon
arrival officers found a female bleeding from the face who said her husband smashed out the car
window as she was trying to drive away. Officers made contact with the male who had large
lacerations on one of his arms. He said he did not want his wife taking the car as she told him she
was going drinking. He said he smashed the window so he could reach in and put the car in park to
stop her from leaving, which caused the cuts to his arm. The female refused transport and was found
to have superficial cuts from the shattering glass. The male was transported to the hospital to have
his arm treated. The case will be forwarded to the Medina Prosecuting Attorney for charging
considerations.
On 05/07/2021 officers were dispatched to what was reported as a possible vehicle fire in the area of
Highway 55 and County Road 101. A passerby reported it appeared a semi-truck may be on fire and
witnessed the driver exit the truck with a fire extinguisher. Upon arrival officers made contact with
the truck driver who said he was having an engine issue but there was no fire.
On 05/07/2021 officers were dispatched to a reported fight at Inn Kahoots Bar. Upon arrival officers
learned a patron had gotten into a minor altercation with the bouncer. The bouncer did not want to
pursue assault charges and the patron was asked to leave the business. The patron was cited for
disorderly conduct.
On 05/08/2021 officers worked a traffic detail associated with the Automotorplex car show. Three
vehicles were cited for driving 80 mph or more on Highway 55, all of whom had been at the car
show.
On 05/09/2021 an officer was dispatched to a possible juvenile runaway in the 2600 block of
Morningside Road. A parent reported learning their juvenile son was possibly in the process of
trying to purchase a bus ticket to go to Washington to meet a girl he had been corresponding with
online. Officers were able to ping the juvenile’s phone which showed him to be in the Wayzata area.
Wayzata officers checked the area and were able to locate the juvenile who was picked up and
brought back home.
On 05/11/2021 an officer assisted Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office with the arrest of a domestic
assault suspect who was last seen at Lion’s Park in the city of Rockford. The suspect was believed
to possibly be combative towards law enforcement. Officers located the subject who was taken into
custody without incident and handed over to Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office.
Investigations:
Investigating a theft from a motor vehicle that was parked near the 700 block of Tower Drive. I was
provided surveillance video from a business near the vehicle. The suspect vehicle involved is the
same vehicle involved with a business burglary that occurred the following day. Investigation is on-
going.
A resident found a piece of jewelry in the ditch near the 800 block of Hamel Road. The piece of
jewelry is of high value and appears to have been in the ditch for a long period of time. I sent out a
crime alert with information about the piece of jewelry to area agencies.
Conducted two background checks for solicitor permits.
Received a report from the Minnesota Adult Abuse Reporting Center about an address in the city of
Medina. I spoke with the reporting party for the incident and learned law enforcement services will
not be needed for the residence.
There are currently (11) cases assigned to Investigations.

DATE: May 12, 2021
MEETING: May 18, 2021
SUBJECT: Public Works Update
STREETS
• Public Works has been filling minor potholes around town.
• Derek Reinking and I have been evaluating all of Medina’s streets. One thing for
certain is we have some large overlay projects coming up in the near future.
• The Hackamore Road 75% plan is complete and in your packet. Acceptance of
this report will enable the cities to gain the ROW we need through the
development process.
• In the June 1st council meeting I will present a draft feasibility report for Shire
Drive. The business owners and I have been in contact. So far, all agree the road
work is needed.
WATER/SEWER/STORMWATER
• I have been doing a lot of research on how best to handle the media replacement
in the water treatment filters. I have met and consulted with three companies and
have two different options.
• A valve will be replaced at Polaris this week. This is a service line and the
responsibility of the business to repair. Staff will be on hand for the dig. The
Wealshire will have to be shut down for a few hours. The work will be completed
after the dinner hour.
PARKS/TRAILS
• Spring Cleanup in the parks is done. Irrigation is on, mowing has begun, and
baseball is in full swing.
• The Paul Fortin Baseball Field Lighting System Installation proposal is on the
consent agenda for your approval.
• Public Works has begun the Loram Trail connection. We hope to get the sub cut
and base material installed during this nice stretch of weather. I am coordinating
the curb installation and paving with other city projects.
