Development Agreement/Final Plat to item 12; seconded by Theisen and passed unanimously.

$36,068.00.
d. Stray Animal Impound Agreement – Requested Action: Approve the Stray Animal Impound
Agreement between Tri-County Humane Society and the City of St. Joseph for 2021.
Public Hearing – Fee Schedule Amendment: The 2021 fee schedule was adopted in December, 2020.
Since then, staff recognized minor changes and additions. To adopt, the City Council would need to hold
a public hearing and adopt an amending ordinance.
Schultz opened the public hearing. As no one wished to speak on the matter, Schultz closed the public
hearing.
Loso moved to adopt Ordinance 2021-07 An Ordinance Amending the 2021 City Fee Schedule;
seconded by Theisen and passed unanimously.
Schultz moved to approve Resolution 2021-023 Authorizing Summary Publication of Ordinance
2021-07; seconded by Theisen and passed unanimously.
Street Closure Request – Weathered Revivals: Weathered Revivals submitted a special event application
for an event to be held on June 23, 2021 from 5PM –8PM. The alley closure request prompted Council
approval.
Theisen moved to approve the street closure request submitted by Weathered Revivals for an
event to be held from 5-8PM on June 23, 2021; seconded by Beniek and passed unanimously.
Ordinance Amendments, Site Plan Review:The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and
th
recommended approval of the ordinance amendments at their April 12meeting. Currently, the city
requires new multi-family, commercial, or industrial construction projects to obtain site plan review and
approval before a building permit can be submitted. Staff recommended putting a trigger point on when
site plan approval is needed. When a project results in an expansion of 25% or more of the existing
building footprint area or if a detached structure is proposed that is greater than 50% of the size of the
principle building.

Kluesner moved to adopt Ordinance 2021-08 Amending Section 502.12, Subd. 14 of the City Code;
seconded by Schultz and passed unanimously.
th
Ordinance Amendment, Outdoor Dining/Sidewalk Café:The council provided comments at the April 5
meeting and staff brought back revised language that was approved by the Planning Commission at their
th
April 12 meeting.
The proposed changes to the ordinance are meant to be flexible, and streamline the approval process but
also maintain minimum standards that are reflective of the City’s character and expectations. Currently
the ordinance requires Planning Commission and City Council approval for proposed outdoor patios and
sidewalk cafes. The amendment would eliminate those approval requirements and allow for staff to
approve administratively.
Beniek moved to adopt Ordinance 2021-09 Amending Section 502.22 Outdoor Dining/Sidewalk
Cafes; seconded by Schultz and passed unanimously.
Schultz moved to approve Resolution 2021-025 Directing Summary Publication of Ordinances
2021-08 and 2021-009; seconded by Theisen and passed unanimously.
Public Works Summer Seasonal: The Public Works Department requested approval of two summer
seasonal positions at a wage of $15.00/hour.
Loso moved to approve two summer seasonal positions and approval of the wage increase to
$15.00 per hour; seconded by Beniek and passed unanimously.
Community Center Fundraising: In 2019, the City Council approved a fundraising study presented by Fair
Winds Consulting. At that time the Council also recommended sending that report back to the Community
Center Committee for review and recommendation.
The Council discussed how the RFPs should be vetted; whether to include the committee in the
discussions or just have staff complete the vetting.
General consensus was to have staff prepare an RFP for fundraising efforts with the vetting process
similar to that of the RFP for the design of the community center.
Entrance Sign Request for Proposals: Schultz prepared an RFP for entrance signs. Potential locations
are MN Street and County Road 2 and on County Road 75 W.
Loso wanted the RFP to reference electronic signage.
Haffner noted that for signage, Cities do not typically go through an RFP process. Rather, staff can solicit
3 quotes with schematics for the project and bring back to council.
Theisen made a motion authorizing staff to move forward with a bidding process or RFP for
entrance signs; seconded by Beniek and passed unanimously.
Social Media Policy: Councilmember Beniek wanted clarification that the City’s Social Media Policy
applies to councilmembers.
City Clerk Klein read an excerpt from the policy that stated: “This policy also covers the private use of the
City’s social media accounts by all City representatives, including its employees and agents,
Councilmembers, appointed board or commission members and all volunteers to the extent it affects that
City.”
Council consensus was that the current policy language was sufficient.

Knife River Development Agreement/Final Plat:CLC Partners proposed to final plat portions of parcels
84.53350.0310 and 84.53350.0295. The intent of the plat was to facilitate the sale of the land and future
construction of a rail spur/trans loading station which would connect from the south. Staff outlined two
options in the draft Development Agreement for consideration.
Option 1 put forth the various triggers that would determine when the roadway improvements would occur
and would place responsibility on the “benefitting” properties through assessments. Benefitting properties
are those that are directly adjacent to the roadway extension. Triggers for option 1 included: property
development either through a site plan application, re-plat, or final plat. Option 1 was non-traditional and
the vast majority of plats follow option 2.
Option 2 follows standard platting procedure and places the responsibility of construction of the roadway
extensions onto the developer who is platting the land. The Development Agreement has a timeline of
2026, or sooner, if the property further develops, to construct the extensions. Option 2 was the
recommendation by staff. If the site does not develop in the intended timeline, the Developer can request
an extension.
Those in attendance on behalf of the applicant included: Corey Ehlert, Kevin Cox, Tim Trobec, John
Quade
Discussion topics included:
Whether the Development Agreement should be between the City and CLC Partners or between
the City and Knife River.
Whether to table decision until the Council can get a better grasp on the request.
Having the Development Agreement with the Developer platting the property is a requirement of
the City’s Subdivision Ordinance.
What the outcome would be if the Council went against the Subdivision Ordinance. The Council
recommended having staff obtain legal advice.
Approval of just the final plat with the removal of Outlot G in order to extend the cul-de-sac to the
east.
Quade provided an overview of Knife River’s intent with the property.
Loso moved to approve Resolution 2021-024 Approving the Knife River Addition Final Plat with
the removal of Outlot G; seconded by Theisen.
Aye: Beniek, Kluesner, Theisen, Loso Motion Carried 4:0:1
Nay: None
Abstain: Schultz
Neither Development Agreement options were acted upon. Staff was directed to contact legal regarding
the zoning ordinance and any potential amendments to the Development Agreement.
Engineer Reports: Sabart provided a brief update on a survey on the beltway. The survey will be on the
City’s website as well as the APO’s.
Mayor Reports: Schultz reported on the following:
The APO is conducting a study on the top 15 regional project priorities
The Park Board met and discussed a possible baseball camp organized by Al Newman at
Millstream Park; surveys for Hollow Park and Klinefelter Park will be conducted; a youth disc golf
th
at Millstream Park
clinic will take place on June 7
Schultz contacted CSB regarding the sale of the lot to the north of the Government Center. The
lot to the south is for sale but it is also larger and more expensive
Other Business: One application was received for the Recreation Director. Six applications were received
th
for the police officer position. The next Council work session is May 25 at 5:30PM.

AGENDA ITEM: 2020 Audit Presentation – Janel Bitzan, Audit Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Finance
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council hired BerganKDV to conduct the 2020 financial
audit.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Annually the City is required to have an independent audit
completed. The final audited statements are presented to the City Council and submitted to the State of
Minnesota. Steve Wischmann from Bergan Kern, DeWenter, Viere, Ltd. (BKDV) will be here to provide
an overview of the audit and financial status as of December 31, 2020.
The audited financial statements can be cumbersome to read. Although the entire report is important for
the users of the statements, the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) on pages 5-22 provide a
nice overview of the financial highlights for 2020 and the economic factors that will affect the upcoming
years. City staff prepared the MD&A analysis. The report provided titled “Communications Letter” is an
analysis of the financial condition of the City by BKDV.

Independent Auditor's Report
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of St. Joseph
St. Joseph, Minnesota
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of St. Joseph,
Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes to 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
The City of St. Joseph's management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts 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.
2
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material
respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of St. Joseph, Minnesota, 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, which follows this report letter, and Required Supplementary Information as
listed in the Table of Contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) 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 inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion
or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with
sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of St. Joseph's basic financial statements. The combining nonmajor 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 nonmajor 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. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves,
and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event
giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and
expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal
periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of St. Joseph that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other
functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and
charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City of
St. Joseph include general government, public safety, public works, economic development, culture and
recreation, and interest on long-term debt. The business-type activities of the City of St. Joseph include
water, sanitary sewer, refuse, storm water and street light utility services.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City of St. Joseph itself (known as the
primary government), but also a legally separate Economic Development Authority. Financial
information for this component unit is blended in the financial information.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 24-25 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control
over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of St. Joseph, like
other state and local governments, utilize fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of St. Joseph can be divided into one of
the following 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. -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 impa-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 government-wide governmental activities.

surplus of $5,743,919, or a surplus of $2,710,074 after removing the unrestricted portion of

City of St. Joseph
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of St. Joseph is able to report positive balances in all three
categories of net position for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate business-type
activities and governmental activities.
Governmental Activities. The governmental activities change in net position balance increased
$3,520,988. with development activity,
increase in interest earnings, and reduction in compensated absence liability. Contributed assets were
received from two development projects and recorded as a capital grant, increasing the governmental
activities net position.
Business-Type Activities. There was a 6% increase in the total net position for the business-type
activities. The increase is due to paying down bonds, reduction in compensated absences due to
retirements and significant development fees collected. The full value of the assets is netted against the
bonds payable. Also, plant and lines increased with developer contributions increasing the business-type
net position.
The graph and charts on the following pages summarize and graphically depict the changes in net
position for the governmental and business-type activities.

City of St. Joseph
Governmental Funds. The financial performance of the City of St. Joseph as a whole is reflected in its
governmental funds as well. As the City completed the fiscal year 2020, its governmental funds reported
a combined fund balance of $9,728,566, an increase of $574,571 from 2019.
governmental funds were $7,902,173, while expenditures were $10,264,100. The excess of expenditures
th
over revenues is largely attributed to construction costs for the industrial park, 20 Ave SE watermain,
public works facility and street overlay improvements. The improvements are paid mainly from bond
proceeds that are reported as other financing sources. After adding other financing sources and uses, the
net change in fund balance is an increase of $574,571. By removing the four construction costs,
governmental revenues exceeded expenditures by $284,744. The major funds will be discussed further
below. Other governmental non-major funds ended the year $353,160 increase in fund balances. A
couple non-major funds to recognize are the G.O. improvement bond of 2014A and state collected sales
tax fund. The 2014A bonds funded the Park Terrace street and utilities improvements. In 2020, the City
issued advanced refunding bonds to refinance the 2014A bonds on the call date of December 1, 2021.
The 2020C unspent bond proceeds of $1,309,547 will be used to pay the remaining 2014A principal on
the call date. The state collected sales tax fund received $505,814 in local option sales tax revenues in
2020. The sales tax is used for projects approved by state statute. The revenues are reserved for future
projects such as the East Park development and Community/Jacob Wetterling Recreation Center.
Current projects expended with local option sales tax includes the CSAH 2 trail extension, Colts
Academy bonds and the Field Street bonds.
A summary of financial highlights for each major governmental fund follows.
General Fund
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City of St. Joseph. At the end of the current fiscal
year, unassigned fund balance of the general fund was $1,707,066.
liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance to total fund expenditures.
Unassigned fund balance represents 38% (4.5 months) working capital and 44% (5.2 months) compared
to the budgeted 2021 expenditures. The City Council has adopted a financial policy which includes a
goal to maintain the general fund working capital fund balance equal to 4-6 months of expenditures. The
excess unassigned fund balance can be attributed to interest earnings, increased lease revenue and under
spending salaries and wages. Salaries and wages were less due to the resignation of the administrator
and not replacing an open position for three months, and the retirement of the public works director who
was not replaced. General fund revenues exceeded budgeted amounts by $746,950. The largest variance
came from intergovernmental revenues that came from the Coronavirus Relief Fund.

(CONTINUED)
General Fund (Continued)
General fund expenditures were over budget by $408,418 primarily from COVID-19 federal
expenditures. The City of St. Joseph sets funds aside for the street maintenance plan. The street
maintenance plan expenditures fluctuate each year, increasing in 2020 by $38,670. In addition, snow and
ice removal for the recently annexed area was budgeted to be contracted with a local company. The City
of St. Joseph took over the snow plowing in the annexed area in fall 2020. Public safety expenditures
were over budget due to the increased volume of fire calls and the City of St. Joseph paying a higher
portion of the fire contract than budgeted. Police current expenditures under budget by $110,296. The
sergeant promotion did not occur until July 2020 and the ninth officer was not hired until September
2020. The hires were budgeted for January and July, respectively. Policing costs were down from
special events due to COVID-19 cancellations. A large difference in all general fund programs is the
health insurance budget. The City of St. joseph budgets for family premiums even though some
. The difference in the budget to actual is
transferred internally to the employee retirement reserve fund. Finally, the transfer out of the general
fund totaled $297,256. These were unbudgeted transfers. The largest was a transfer to the debt service
relief fund for excess budgeted revenues over expenditures. The debt service relief fund reduces the
future debt costs with the City paying cash for smaller projects.
As a result of the prudent financial policies of the City, the general fund remained stable.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Over the course of the year, the City of St. Joseph did not amend the annual operating budget.
Historically, the City has minimal budget amendments during the budget year.
Actual revenues were $746,950 more than expected mainly due to intergovernmental revenues
from the Coronavirus Relief Funds federal grant. In addition, interest income came in higher than
budgeted. The City budgets conservatively for revenues not known at the time the budget is set.
Actual expenditures were $408,418 higher than budget. As stated earlier, the City incurred
federal expenditures in dealing with the pandemic. A couple other points on the expenditure
budget:
o To help minimize fluctuations in the budget, the City budgets family insurance coverage
for the majority of the employees even though some elect single or no coverage.
Budgeting for the highest insurance cost alleviates budget spikes when employees change
their insurance election and when new hires are made.
o The City manages a five-year capital equipment plan (CEP) and capital improvement
plan (CIP). During the budget process each year, the plans are reviewed and the council
prioritizes which projects/equipment will be funded. The funds are set aside for future
purchases as the useful life of equipment and infrastructure are depleted, or as new
equipment needs are warranted. Due to the large costs associated with some of the
needed equipment, setting funds aside minimizes the fluctuations in the capital outlay
budget.
o Staff changes in both the police department and administration had a significant impact
on the expenditures for 2020. The position of sergeant remained vacant until July 2020.
The resignation of the administrator and replacement of the community development
direction had a gap of three months. In addition, the public works director retired and has
not been replaced. The public works superintendent took over the duties of the director
until a replacement is determined.
o Streets and highways realized expenditures under budget mainly due to snow and ice
removal as discussed earlier.
Proprietary Funds.

Water Enterprise Fund
. In 2020
net position increased $733,656. Before transfers and capital contributions, the operating income
reported a $216,113 surplus. The change in net position includes depreciation of $441,855. The water
operating revenues are covering 100% of the depreciation. Bonded debt payments in the water fund
totaled $691,099. Debt payments are covered by water rates, debt levy, water connection and trunk fees,
and transfers from the sewer fund. Water rates have been incrementally increased over the past few
years to cover operational costs as well as water related debt. The current rates are sufficient for the
water fund operations and debt costs. In 2020, the water fund received an advanced refunding for the
2014A debt. The refunding will occur on the December 1, 2021 call date. $430,453 is being held in
escrow until the 2014A bonds are called. Water revenues are set aside for future improvements such as
required maintenance on the current water tower and adding a second water tower to the utility system.
Water connections can dip in down economic times. Having water reserves can level rate adjustments
and help weather difficult economic times. Rates are reviewed annually as part of the budget adoption.
Sanitary Sewer Enterprise Fund
The sanitary sewer fund is used to account for the . In 2020,
683,356 and realized $349,598 in operating income.
User fees are covering 100% of the depreciation, and 100% of the non-operating revenues and expenses.
As a contract user of the St. Cloud Wastewater Treatment Facility, St. Joseph is obligated to pay a
portion of the costs to maintain the plant and conveyance system. St. Joseph issued four notes with the
City of St. Cloud for various facility and conveyance projects. In addition, St. Joseph issued a current
refunding bond to refinance the 2013A sewer revenue bonds. The refunding bond will result in interest
savings over the remaining term. The debt costs are partially paid with reserved Sewer Access Charges
(SAC), trunk fees and sewer usage rates. The development fees in 2019 and 2020 greatly assisted in
covering debt costs. As a result, rate increases have slowed down to a more average increase (1-3%)
after a few years of significant user rate increases. Rates are reviewed annually as part of the budget
adoption.
Refuse Enterprise Fund
The refuse fund is used to account for the contract services to provide residential refuse, recycling and
compost services. The refuse fund ended 2020 with a net position of $248,623, an increase of $8,767.
The city council opted to under-fund the costs to operate the refuse and compost programs by using
unused net position to cover the difference for a couple years. The overall net position is healthy and
was able to manage the decrease in user fees.
Storm Water Enterprise Fund
. In 2020, the
increased $273,392; a decrease of $36,634 before capital contributions
and transfers. The storm water fund realized an operating loss of $43,966, covering 68% depreciation. In
2018 the city council opted to reduce the storm water usage rates by half in order to accommodate
increases in other utilities. The rates are being stepped up to get closer to covering costs. The operating
loss was anticipated and the storm water fund could absorb with the healthy net position balance. In
addition, the storm water fund received $326,245 in capital contributions to assist in the increased net
position of the fund.

Street Light Utility Enterprise Fund
. As of
December 31, 2020 change in net position increased $14,946, and an
operating income of $16,262. The city council increased rates slightly to ensure expenses are covered by
fees. The street light utility fund also covers expenses for holiday lights on the street lights and other
utility poles along Minnesota Street and College Avenue. Overall, the net position of the street light
utility fund has grown to $75,905 since splitting from the general fund in 2013.

Country Manor Phase I. In addition, construction is progress increased $114,940. Construction in
progress is not depreciated and increases the net capital assets. Net investment in capital assets increased
$3,342,192. The contributed assets aided in the increase due to no offsetting debt when the assets were
acquired.

pandemic. The United States, State of Minnesota and the City of St. Joseph declared public health
emergencies to respond to the pandemic. Several business sectors were closed or significantly reduced
operations to support the COVID-19 response efforts. The US and world markets were affected. The

In the development market the City added eight new single-family homes and an affordable rate multi-
family facility for residential living units. New development on the commercial side included 48
remodels and additions. One of the commercial permits, Knife River, added to their freight receiving
and unloading terminal in the industrial park. The site is unique and very valuable in Minnesota
allowing for freight unloading. Total market value additions in the building department added
$14,328,279 in value. In the past three years, new construction as well as remodels/additions and repairs
added over $51.5 million in market value for the City of St. Joseph.
In addition to new construction, current structures have impacted the net tax capacity. The sale prices
have increased along with the assessors estimated market values for existing properties. To stay in
compliance with Minnesota Statutes, the sales price ration indicated the need to increase existing market
values. This combined with the new buildings; market values increased 9.29% for the 2020 property
values; 35.01% when adding in Township parcels annexed in 2019.
As stated, single family residential construction included eight new homes built in 2020. Nationally and
in Minnesota the housing market is improving. In the City of St. Joseph, two developers recently
expanded their developments to provide 34 lots in three subdivisions. In addition, the Country Manor
senior development began construction of single family homes in their first phase development. The first
phase includes twelve detached patio homes; five are constructed. St. Joseph is fortunate to have a very
low foreclosure rate. In fact, homes that become available for sale do not stay on the market for an
extended period of time.
Other new construction completed in 2019/2020 include the 24 North Lofts on College Ave. The 24
North Lofts project includes 17 residential lofts and commercial space that is occupied by Krewe
Restaurant, a New Orleans style restaurant, and Flour and Flower Bakery in a separate building. The
completion of two 35-unit market rate apartments occurred in 2020 as well. A 48-unit affordable rate

The City of St. Joseph anticipates industrial development in Northland Business Center, a new Industrial
Park that was completed in 2020. The City was awarded a $1,245,000 Business Development Public
Infrastructure (BDPI) grant from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic
Development (MN DEED) to assist with costs for public streets and utilities to create shovel ready
industrial lots. Construction of the public improvements began in 2019 and includes 26 lots. The
majority of lots within the new industrial park are one to two acres in size. There is the ability to
combine or subdivide lots to adjust sizes to accommodate development needs. The industrial park
project is a City and private partnership. The City secured the grant for the public improvements and the
private developer and owner, CLC Partners LLC, will cover all costs exceeding the grant amount.
The City Council approved an application with the Central MN Housing Partnership to secure funding
through the Minnesota Small Cities Development Program Grant (SCDP) in the amount of $178,624 in
2019. The grant provides funding to eligible property owners to complete major repairs on their homes.

Besides developments and rehabilitation projects, the City added to their property market value with the
annexation of a large portion of St. Joseph Township. The City of St. Joseph and St. Joseph Township
entered into an orderly annexation area (OAA) agreement in 1997. In December 2017 the City notified
St. Joseph Township of the intent to exercise their right to annex all the properties included in the OAA
agreement. After negotiations with the Township, the City agreed to annex a portion of the properties
included in the OAA and retain land use controls over the properties not annexed to the City but
included in the OAA. The annexation included approximately 230 properties with a taxable market
value of $55.6 million. The annexation of the properties will have varied impacts to the City. The City
agreed to create a Rural Tax rate for residential properties and a phased in urban tax rate for all
commercial and industrial developed properties annexed into the City. The phased urban tax rate will
occur in equal increments over six years. The annexation was approved and finalized by the State of
Minnesota in January 2019 with 2020 being the first taxing year for the City of St. Joseph.
The City of St. Joseph submitted two bonding requests for State Legislative consideration in 2020. The
projects include the Jacob Wetterling Recreation Center ($4 million), and development of the East Park
canoe and picnic area ($300,000). The State of Minnesota included funding the $4M request for the
Jacob Wetterling Recreation Center in their fall 2020 bonding bill. The City will begin a fundraising
campaign and design phase in 2021.
The CR 2 Trail phase II/III was substantially completed in 2020. The project was awarded federal
transportation funds to assist with construction costs. The City of St. Joseph received $650,954 for the
project. Other projects that began in 2020 and will be completed in 2021 include the Minnesota
th
Streetscape improvements, extension of the 20 Ave SE water main and feasibility planning for the
2021 street improvement projects.
In September 2020, the city council approved a request for proposal (RFP) to sell the former Colts
Academy building. A purchase agreement was entered into with Moxie Investments, LLC to sell the
facility for $600,000 as is with the sale completed in April 2021. With the sale of the building, the City
of St. Joseph approved the defeasance of the outstanding balance of the 2015B G.O. abatement bonds.

In 2018, the City of Foley began negotiating with the City of St. Cloud and area cities to connect to the
St. Cloud wastewater treatment facility. The sewer use agreement includes the contracted area cities of
St. Joseph, St. Cloud, St. Augusta, Waite Park, Sartell and Sauk Rapids. The current sewer use
agreement includes Exhibit C identifying reserve treatment capacity called pooled capacity. The pooled
capacity was reserved for the contracted cities to sell capacity to each other as they approach their
capacity agreed to in the sewer use agreement before the next treatment plant expansion is completed.
The pooled capacity agreement is currently under review in each contracted city to allow new users into
the system. A new user, in this case the City of Foley, will reimburse the cities selling their pooled
capacity and take over future debt payments for their new portion of the treatment facility. The amended
pooled capacity agreement also depicts the formula to determine the cost of becoming a new user. In
April 2021 the City of St. Joseph approved selling their pooled capacity to the City of Foley. Under the
new amendment, St. Joseph will receive an upfront reimbursement of $1,125,455 and realize future debt
savings of $1,097,000. The City of St. Joseph will receive the reimbursements once the City of Foley
ties into the wastewater system in late 2021 or early 2022. The City of St. Joseph plans to use the
reimbursements for future sewer improvements.
With a busy year completed, 2021 is expected to be eventful as well.

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:

Principal payments on long-term debt are recognized as expenditures in the governmental funds
1,854,000
but as an increase in net position in the Statement of Activities.
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.

Amortization of bond discounts, premiums and issuance charges
Proceeds from long-term debt are recognized as an other financing source in the governmental

funds but as a decrease in net position in the Statement of Activities.
The governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts and similar items when debt
(78,073)
is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of Activities.
Compensated absence payments are recognized as paid in the governmental funds but recognized
(49,774)
as the expense is incurred in the Statement of Activities.
Delinquent receivables will be collected in subsequent years, but are not available soon enough to
pay for the current period's expenditures and, therefore, are not revenues in the funds.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The City of St. Joseph (the "City") is a statutory city governed by an elected mayor and four council
members. The accompanying financial statements present the government entities for which the
government is financially accountable.
The financial statements present the City and its component units. The City includes all funds, account
groups, organizations, institutions, agencies, departments, and offices that are not legally separate from
such. Component units are legally separate organizations for which the elected officials of the City are
financially accountable and are included within the basic financial statements of the City because of the
significance of their operational or financial relationships with the City.
The City is considered financially accountable for a component unit if it appoints a voting majority of
the organization's governing body and it is able to impose its will on the organization by significantly
influencing the programs, projects, activities, or level of services performed or provided by the
organization, or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to or
impose specific financial burdens on, the City.
As a result of applying the component unit definition criteria above, certain organizations have been
defined and are presented in this report as follows:
Blended Component Unit Reported as if they were part of the City.
Joint Ventures The relationship of the City with the entity is disclosed.
For the categories above, the specific entities are identified as follows:
1. Blended Component Unit
The St. Joseph Economic Development Authority (EDA) was organized for the purpose of
preserving and creating jobs, enhancing the tax base, and promoting the general welfare of the
people of the City. The St. Joseph EDA is governed by a five member board appointed by the City
Council, two members of which are City Council Members. The St. Joseph EDA is included as a
blended component unit of the City because the St. Joseph EDA is financially accountable to the
City, as the City Council approves the budget. The St. Joseph EDA provides services almost entirely
for the City. The St. Joseph EDA is presented as the Economic Development Authority Special
Revenue Fund. Separate financial statements are not prepared for the St. Joseph EDA.
2. Joint Ventures
The Central Minnesota Major Crime Investigation Unit is a group of local law enforcement officers
within the four county surrounding areas that will be available to assist any of the participating
entities in the investigation and solution of major crimes. During 2020, the City contributed $10,546
to the organization. It is reported as a special revenue fund of the City of Sartell. Complete financial
statements can be obtained from: City of Sartell, 125 Pine Cone Road North, Sartell, Minnesota
56377.

2. Joint Ventures (Continued)
The City of St. Cloud Human Rights Office is a joint venture between the cities of St. Cloud,
St. Joseph, Sauk Rapids, and Sartell, which works to enhance the lives of the citizens of the
communities. During 2020, the City contributed $0 to the organization. It is reported as an agency
fund of the City of St. Cloud. Complete financial statements can be obtained from: City of
nd
St. Cloud, 400 2 Street South, St. Cloud, Minnesota 56301.
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 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
segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a
specific function or segment. Interest on general long-term debt is considered an indirect expense and is
reported separately in the Statement of Activities. 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. Internally dedicated revenues are
reported as general revenues rather than program revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major
individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in
the fund financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are
recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of
related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants
and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the
provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the
current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City
considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current period.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However,
debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and
judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.

Cityof St. Joseph
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current period are all
considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current period.
Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current 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.
Description of Funds:
Major Governmental Funds:
General Fund This fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of
the general City, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
G.O. Industrial Park Bonds of 2019A This fund accounts for the payments made on principal and
interest on bonds issued to finance the 2019 Industrial Park Project.
Proprietary Funds:
Water Fund This fund accounts for the operations of the City's water utility.
Sanitary Sewer Fund This fund accounts for the operations of the City's sanitary sewer utility.
Refuse Fund This fund accounts for the operations of the City's refuse and compost utility.
Storm Water Fund This fund accounts for the operations of the City's storm water utility.
Street Light Utility Fund This fund accounts for the operations of the City's street light utility.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City's water, sanitary
sewer, refuse, storm water, and street light utility functions and various other functions of the City.
Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the
various functions concerned.
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 Water, Sanitary Sewer, Refuse, Storm Water, and Street Light Utility 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
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.
D. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/ Inflows of Resources, and Net Position or Equity
1. Deposits and Investments
Cash and investments include balances from all funds that are combined and invested to the extent
available in various securities as authorized by state law. Earnings from the pooled investments are
allocated to the individual funds based on the average of month-end cash and investment balances.
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.
Minnesota Statutes authorizes the City to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, agencies, and
instrumentalities, shares of investment companies whose only investments are in the aforementioned
securities, obligations of the State of Minnesota or its municipalities, bankers' acceptances, future
contracts, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and commercial paper of the highest
quality with a maturity of no longer than 270 days and in the Minnesota Municipal Investment Pool.
Certain investments for the City are reported at fair value as disclosed in Note 3. 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.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 79, the Minnesota Municipal Investment Pool securities
are 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.
2. Receivables and Payables
All trade and property tax receivables are shown at a gross amount since both are assessable to the
property taxes and are collectible upon the sale of the property.

(Continued)
2. Receivables and Payables (Continued)
The City levies its property tax for the subsequent year during the month of December. December 28
is the last day the City can certify a tax levy to the County Auditor for collection the following year.
Such taxes become a lien on January 1 and are recorded as receivables by the City at that date. The
property tax is recorded as revenue when it becomes measurable and available. Stearns County is the
collecting agency for the levy and remits the collections to the City four times a year. The tax levy
notice is mailed in March with the first half of the payment due on May 15 and the second half due
on October 15. Taxes not collected as of December 31 each year are shown as delinquent taxes
receivable.
The County Auditor prepares the tax list for all taxable property in the City, applying the applicable
tax rate to the tax capacity of individual properties, to arrive at the actual tax for each property. The
County Auditor also collects all special assessments, except for certain prepayments paid directly to
the City.
The County Auditor submits the list of taxes and special assessments to be collected on each parcel
of property to the County Treasurer in January of each year.
3. Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as
prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. Prepaid items are reported
using the consumption method and recorded as expenditures at the time of consumption.
4. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads,
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 $1,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of two
years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or
constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially
extend assets' lives are not capitalized.

(Continued)
4. Capital Assets (Continued)
Property, plant, and equipment of the City are depreciated using the straight-line full year convention
method over the following estimated useful lives:
5. Deferred Outflows/ Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents a consumption
of net position that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources
(expense/expenditure) until that time. The City presents deferred outflows of resources on the
Statements of Net Position for deferred outflows of resources related to pensions for various estimate
differences that will be amortized and recognized over future years.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position and fund financial statements will
sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial
statement element represents an acquisition of net position that applies to future periods and so will
not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has two items that
qualify for reporting in this category. The City presents deferred inflows of resources on the
Governmental Fund Balance Sheet as unavailable revenue. The governmental funds report
unavailable revenues from three sources: property taxes, special assessments, and notes receivable.
These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts
become available. The City presents deferred inflows of resources on the Statements of Net Position
for deferred inflows of resources related to pensions for various estimate differences that will be
amortized and recognized over future years.

6. Compensated Absences
The City compensates employees who leave City service in good standing for all earned, unused
vacation. Employees can accrue up to 200 hours of vacation depending on years of service. The
maximum amount of carryover from year-to-year is 100 hours or the amount of the current vacation
accrual rate. In addition, employees are compensated for unused sick leave (up to a maximum of 720
hours or 960 hours for LELS and AFSCME employees) at various rates depending on the employee
type and years of service, provided the City's notice of termination policy has been complied with.
7. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable
governmental activities, business-type activities or proprietary fund type Statement of Net Position.
Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the
effective interest method.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts,
as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported
as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing
sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs,
whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service
expenditures.
8. 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 the relief association and additions to/deductions from PERA's and the
relief association's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are
reported by PERA and the relief association 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.
9. Fund Equity
a) Classification
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund classifications that comprise a
Hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the City is bond to honor constraints on the
specific purpose for which amounts in those funds can be spent.
Nonspendable Fund Balance These are amounts that cannot be spent because they are not
in spendable form as they are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact and
include amounts set aside for prepaid items.

9. Fund Equity
a) Classification(Continued)
Restricted Fund Balance These are amounts that are restricted to specific purposes either by
a) constraints placed on the use of resources by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or
regulations of other governments, or b) imposed by law through enabling legislation.
Committed Fund Balance These are amounts that can only be used for specific purposes
pursuant to constraints imposed by the City Council (highest level of decision making
authority) through resolution. The City Council must also pass a resolution to remove the
constraint of committed resources.
Assigned Fund Balance These are amounts that are constrained by the City's intent to be
used for specific purposes but are neither restricted nor committed. Assignments are made by
the City's Finance Director based on the City Council's direction.
Unassigned Fund Balance These are residual amounts in the General Fund not reported in
any other classification. The General Fund is the only fund that can report a positive
unassigned fund balance. Other funds would report a negative unassigned fund balance
should the total of nonspendable, restricted, committed, and assigned fund balances exceed
the total net resources of that fund.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to
first use restricted resources, and then use unrestricted resources as they are needed. When
committed, assigned, and unassigned resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use
resources in the following order: committed, assigned, and unassigned.
b) Minimum Fund Balance
The City's target General Fund balance is to maintain working capital, a portion of the
unassigned balance, in the amount of four to six months of the next year's budgeted expenditures
of the General Fund, excluding the fire department and PEG Access Fees.

D. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/ Inflows of Resources, and Net Position or Equity
(Continued)
10. Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and
deferred inflows of resources in the government-wide financial statements. Net investment in capital
assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balance
of any long-term debt used to build or acquire the capital assets. A reclassification of $3,033,845
between this net position class and unrestricted net position in the total column of the Statement of
Net Position to recognize the portion of debt attributable to capital assets donated from governmental
activities to business-type activities. Net position is reported as restricted in the government-wide
financial statement when there are limitations on use through external restrictions imposed by
creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other governments. The restricted for other purposes
restriction of net position for governmental activities of $1,658,479 includes $44,519 for tax
increment financing, $1,325,161 in state collected sales tax restricted by enabling legislation,
$22,240 restricted for lodging tax, $206,528 in park dedication fees, $650 restricted by donors for
future projects, $47,402 DEED Funds, and $11,979 in revolving loan funds restricted for EDA
projects.
11. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and
expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
E. Budgetary Information
1. In August of each year, City staff submits to the City Council, a proposed operating budget for
the year commencing the following January 1. The operating budget includes proposed
expenditures and the means of financing them for the upcoming year.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. The budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution after obtaining taxpayer comments.
4. Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
5. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the department level. No fund's
budget can be increased without City Council approval. The City Council may authorize transfer
of budgeted amounts between departments within any fund. Management may amend budgets
within a department level, so long as the total department budget is not changed.
6. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted during the year for the General Fund and the Economic
Development Authority, State Collected Sales Tax and Park Dedication special revenue funds
and debt service funds. Budgetary control for the remaining special revenue fund is done through
the use of project controls when the council authorizes the project. Budgetary control for Capital
Projects Funds is accomplished through the use of project controls and formal appropriated
budgets are not adopted.

NOTE 2 STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. Deficit Fund Balance
The following fund had a deficit fund balance at December 31, 2020.
This deficit will be eliminated with future tax increment revenues and future bond issuances.
NOTE 3 DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
Cash balances of the City's funds are combined (pooled) and invested to the extent available in various
investments authorized by Minnesota Statutes. Each fund's portion of this pool (or pools) is displayed in
the financial statements as "cash and cash equivalents" or "investments." For purposes of identifying risk
of investing public funds, the balances and related restrictions are summarized below.
A. Deposits
Custodial Credit Risk Deposits: This is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City's deposits
may not be returned to it. The City has a policy that requires the City's deposits be collateralized as
required by Minnesota Statutes for an amount exceeding FDIC, SAIF, BIF, or FCUA coverage. As of
December 31, 2020, the City's bank balance was not exposed to custodial credit risk because it was fully
insured through the FDIC or NCUA and fully collateralized with securities held by the pledging
financial institutions trust department or agent and in the City's name. As of December 31, 2020, the
City's deposits had a carrying value as shown as follows:
54
Cityof St. Joseph
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 3 DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
B. Investments
As of December 31, 2020, the City had the following investments:
Credit Risk: Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its
obligations. Minnesota Statutes 118A.04 and 118A.05 limit investments that are in the top two ratings
issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. The City's investment policy limits the
allowable investments in accordance with these statutes. As of December 31, 2020, the City's
investments were rated as listed in the table above.
Interest Rate Risk: The City should try to minimize the risk that arises from over investing in specific
instruments, individual financial institutions, or maturities. The City's investment policy states the
investment portfolio will be structured so that securities mature to meet cash flow requirements and
avoiding the need to sell securities prior to maturity, investing in short-term securities, investing in long-
term securities if the market rate is favorable.
Concentration of Credit Risk: Investments should be diversified to avoid incurring unreasonable risks
inherent in over investing in specific instruments, individual financial institutions, or maturities. The
City's investment policy states the City will attempt to diversify its investments according to type, issuer,
and maturity. The portfolio, as much as possible, will contain both short-term and long-term
investments. The City will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements.
Extended maturities may be utilized to take advantage of higher yields. No more than 20% of the total
investments should extend beyond five years and the weighted average maturity of the portfolio shall
never exceed five years. As of December 31, 2020, the City does not have any investments subject to
concentration of credit risk.
Custodial Credit Risk Investments: For an investment, this is the risk that in the event of the failure of
the counterparty, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities
that are in the possession of an outside party. The City's investment policy addresses this risk and states
the City will permit investments only to the extent that there is Securities Investor Protection
Corporation (SIPC) and excess SIPC coverage available.

Conduit debt obligations are certain limited obligation revenue bonds or similar debt instruments issued
for the express purpose of providing capital financing for a specific third party. The City has issued
various revenue bonds to provide funding to private sector entities for projects deemed to be in the
public interest. Although these bonds bear the name of the City, the City has no obligation for such debt.

NOTE 7 FUND BALANCE
Fund equity balances are classified as follows to reflect the limitations and restrictions of the respective
funds.
NOTE 8 RISK MANAGEMENT
The City purchases commercial insurance coverage through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance
Trust (LMCIT) with other cities in the state, which is a public entity risk pool currently operating as a
common risk management and insurance program. The City pays an annual premium to the LMCIT for
its insurance coverage. The LMCIT is self-sustaining through commercial companies for excess claims.
The City is covered through the pool for any claims incurred but unreported, however, retains risk for
the deductible portion of its insurance policies. The amount of these deductibles is considered
immaterial to the financial statements.
There were no significant reductions in insurance from the previous year or settlements in excess of
insurance coverage for any of the past three years.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 8 RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
The City's workers' compensation insurance policy is retrospectively rated. With this type of policy,
final premiums are determined after loss experience is known. The amount of premium adjustment for
2020 is estimated to be immaterial based on workers' compensation rates and salaries for the year.
At December 31, 2020, there were no other claims liabilities reported in the fund based on the
requirements of GASB Statement No. 10, which requires a liability for claims be reported if information
prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates it is probable a liability has been incurred at the
date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
NOTE 9 PENSION PLANS
The City participates in various pension plans, total pension expense for the year ended December 31,
2020, was $163,151. The components of pension expense are noted in the following plan summaries.

B. Benefits Provided (Continued)
General Employees Plan Benefits
General Employees Plan benefits are based on a member's highest average salary for any 5 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 a Coordinated members is 1.2% for each of the first 10 years
of service and 1.7% for each additional year. Under Method 2, the accrual rate for Coordinated members
is 1.7% 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 is equal to 50% of the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) announced by the SSA, with a
minimum increase of at least 1% and a maximum of 1.5%. 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 the Police and Fire Plan members first hired after June 30, 2010, but before July 1, 2014,
vest on a prorated basis from 50% after five years up to 100% after 10 years of credited service. Benefits
for Police and Fire Plan members first hired after June 30, 2014, vest on a prorated basis from 50% after
10 years up to 100% after 20 years of credited service. The annuity accrual rate is 3% 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.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. Beginning in 2019, the postretirement
increase was fixed at 1%. 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

D. Pension Costs
General Employees Fund Pension Costs
At December 31, 2020, the City reported a liability of $869,341 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 $26,723. 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 0.0145% at the end of the measurement
period and 0.0135% for the beginning of the period.

Police and Fire Fund Pension Costs
At December 31, 2020, the City reported a liability of $726,554 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. At June 30, 2020, the City's proportionate share was 0.0555% at the
end of the measurement period and 0.0559% for the beginning of the period.
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 million in fire state aid that does not meet the definition
of a special funding situation. The $4.5 million direct state aid 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% funded, or until the State Patrol Plan (administered by the Minnesota State Retirement System) is
90% 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 expense of $93,277 for its proportionate share of the Police and Fire Plan's pension expense.
Included in this amount, the City recognized $5,311 as pension expense (and grant revenue) for its
proportionate share of the State of Minnesota's contribution of $4.5 million to the Police and Fire Fund.
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
$4,995 for the year ended December 31, 2020, as revenue and an offsetting reduction of the net pension
liability for its proportionate share of the State of Minnesota's on-behalf contributions to the Police and

E. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2020, actuarial valuation was determined using an individual
entry-age normal actuarial cost method and the following actuarial assumptions:
Salary increases were based on a service-related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees,
survivors, and disabilitants for all plans were based on RP 2014 tables for males or females, as
appropriate, with slight adjustments to fit PERA's experience. Cost of living benefit increases after
retirement for retirees are assumed to be 1.25% per year for the General Employees Plan and 1.0% per
year for the 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 became effective with the
July 1, 2020, actuarial valuation. The most recent four-year experience study for Police and Fire Plan
was completed in 2020. The recommended assumptions for that plan was adopted by the Board and will
be effective with the July 1, 2021, actual valuation if approved by the Legislature.
The following changes in actuarial assumptions occurred in 2020:
General Employees Fund
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions:
The price inflation assumption was decreased from 2.5% to 2.25%.
The payroll growth assumption was decreased from 3.25% to 3.0%.
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 changes 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.

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

F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2020 was 7.5%. The projection of cash
flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from Plan members and employers
will be made at rates set in Minnesota Statutes. Based on these assumptions, the fiduciary net positions
of the 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.
G. Pension Liability Sensitivity
The following presents the City's proportionate share of the net pension liability for all plans it

Public Employees Defined Contribution Plan (Defined Contribution Plan)
All of the City's council members are covered by the Defined Contribution Plan, a multiple-employer

plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and all contributions by or on behalf of
employees are tax deferred until time of withdrawal.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 9 PENSION PLANS (CONTINUED)
Public Employees Defined Contribution Plan (Defined Contribution Plan) (Continued)
The defined contribution plan consists of individual accounts paying a lump-sum benefit. Plan benefits
depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings, less administrative expenses;
therefore, there is no future liability to the City. Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353D.03, specifies plan
provisions, including the employee and employer contribution rates for those qualified personnel who
elect to participate. An eligible elected official who decides to participate contributes 5% of salary which
is matched by the elected official's employer. For ambulance service personnel, employer contributions
are determined by the employer, and for salaried employees must be a fixed percentage of salary.
Employer contributions for volunteer personnel may be a unit value for each call or period of alert duty.
Employees who are paid for their services may elect to make member contributions in an amount not to
exceed the employer share. Employer and employee contributions are combined and used to purchase
shares in one or more of the seven accounts of the Minnesota Supplemental Investment Fund. For
administering the plan, PERA receives 2% of employer contributions and twenty-five hundredths of 1%
(.25%) of the assets in each member's account annually.
Pension expense for the year is equal to the contributions made. Total contributions made by the City
during fiscal year 2020 were:

Fire Department Relief Association, 75 Callaway St E, St. Joseph, MN 56374.
B. Benefits Provided
Volunteer firefighters of the City are member of Joseph Volunteer Fire Department Relief Association.
Full retirement benefits are payable to members who have reached age 50 and have completed 20 years of
service for lump sum service pension. Partial benefits are payable to members who have reached 50 years
and have completed 10 years of service. Disability benefits and widow and children's survivor benefits
are also payable to members or their beneficiaries based upon requirements set forth in the bylaws. These
benefit provisions and all other requirements are consistent with enabling state statutes.

D. Contributions.
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 424A.092 specifies minimum support rates required on an annual basis. The
minimum support rates from the municipality and from State aids are determined as the amount required
to meet the normal cost plus amortizing any existing prior service costs over a ten year period. The
City's obligation is the financial requirement for the year less state aids. Any additional payments by the
City shall be used to amortize the unfunded liability of the relief association. The Association is
comprised of volunteers: therefore, there are no payroll expenditures (i.e. there are no covered payroll
percentage calculations). During the year, the City recognized as revenue and as an expenditure an on
behalf payment of $59,075 made by the State of Minnesota for the Relief Association. The City also
contributed $3,000 to the Relief Association.
E. Net Pension Liability
The City's net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2020, and the total pension liability
used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.
The total pension liability in the December 31, 2020 actuarial valuation was determined using the
following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
The value of death benefits is similar to the value of the retirement pension. Mortality rates for active
members, retirees, and disabilitants were based on RP 2014 tables, with mortality improvement scale
MP-2019, with slight adjustments for male rates.
The long-term return on assets has been set based on the plan's target investment allocation along with
long-term return expectations by asset class. When there is sufficient historical evidence of market
outperformance, historical average returns may be considered. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of
return for each major asset class included in the pension plan's target asset allocation as of the
measurement date are summarized in the table on the following page.

The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 4.75%. Assets were projected using
expected benefit payments and expected asset returns. Expected benefit payments by year were
discounted using the expected asset return assumption for years in which the assets were sufficient to
pay all benefit payments. Any remaining benefit payments after the trust fund is exhausted are
discounted at the municipal bond rate. The equivalent single rate is the discount rate.

In April 2021, the city sold the former Colts Academy building for $600,000. With the sale of the
building, the City approved the defeasance of the outstanding balance of the 2015B G.O. Abatement
bonds. The 2015B bonds are callable 12/1/2022. Funds will be held in escrow to pay the bonds in full
on the call date. In April 2021 the City approved selling their pooled capacity in the St. Cloud
wastewater treatment facility to the City of Foley. Under the new amendment, St. Joseph will receive an
upfront reimbursement of $1,125,455 and realize future debt savings of $1,097,000. The City of St.
Joseph will receive the reimbursements once the City of Foley ties into the wastewater system in late
2021 or early 2022. The City of St. Joseph plans to use the reimbursements for future sewer
improvements.
NOTE 14 NEW STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET IMPLEMENTED
GASB Statement No. 87, Leases 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. This statement will
be effective for the year ending December 31, 2022.
GASB Statement No. 89, Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred Before the End of a Construction Period
enhances the relevance and comparability of information about capital assets and the cost of borrowing
for a reporting period and simplifies accounting for interest cost incurred before the end of a
construction period. This statement will be effective for the year ending December 31, 2021.

Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of
Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with
Government Auditing Standards
Independent Auditor's Report
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of St. Joseph
St. Joseph, Minnesota
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of
the City of St. Joseph, Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes
to financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements, and have
issued our report thereon dated May 5, 2021.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) 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 City's internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the City's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a
timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies
may exist that were not identified. We did identify a certain deficiency in internal control, as described
in the accompanying Schedule of Finding and Response on Internal Control that we consider to be a
material weakness, listed as audit finding 2020-001.
115
Compliance andOther Matters
As part ofobtaining reasonable assurance about whetherthe City'sfinancial statements arefree from
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contractsand grant agreements, noncompliance with which could havea direct and material effect on
thefinancial statements.However, providing an opinion on compliancewiththose provisions was not an
objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.The resultsof ourtests
disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other mattersthat are required to be reported under
Government AuditingStandards.
City'sResponse to Findings
The City's response to the findingidentified in ouraudit isdescribed in the accompanyingSchedule of
Finding and Response on Internal Control.The City'sresponse was not subjected to theauditing
procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the resultsof that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's
internal control or oncompliance.This report is an integral part of an audit performed inaccordance
withGovernment Auditing Standardsin considering the City'sinternal control and compliance.
Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for anyother purpose.

In connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that causedus to believe that theCityfailed
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 relatetoaccounting matters.However, our audit
was not directed primarily toward obtaining knowledge of such noncompliance.Accordingly, had we
performed additional procedures, other mattersmay havecome to our attention regarding the City's
noncompliance with the above referenced provisions, insofar as they relate to accounting matters.
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scopeof our testing of compliance and the results of
that testing, and notto provide an opinion oncompliance. Accordingly, this communication is not

Audit Finding 2020-001Improve Segregation ofAccountingDuties
Adequate segregation ofaccounting duties is in place when the four areas of a transaction have been
separated: authorization, custody, recording,and reconciliation.
As part of this year's audit, we reviewedthe City's documentation of its internal control over
significant areas including: cash receipts, cash disbursements, capital assets, payroll,and utility
billing.The lack of adequate segregation of accounting duties could adversely affectthe City's
ability to initiate,record, process,andreport financial data consistent with the assertions of
management in the financial statements.Some of the areas in which we noticed a lack of segregation
or an overlap in duties are as follows:
Cash Receipts
The Accounting Technician opens mail, enters cash and checks into the point-of-salesystem,
reconcile daily receipts, and sends late notices/calculates penalties. The Police Records
Specialist records police receipts, receives payments, and reconciles the collections. A police
officer takesthe deposit to the bank.
Cash Disbursements
The Finance Directorisalsoan authorized signer and has access to the Mayor'selectronic
signature.The Administrator reviews and approves checks for payment.At year-end, the
Finance Director reconciles and recordsaccounts and contracts payable.
Capital Assets
The Senior Accountant enters invoices, reconciles billing discrepancies, maintains asset
listing included additions, andcalculates depreciation. Finance Director reviewslisting and
records journal entry.
Payroll
The Finance Director and Senior Accountant both have theability to make changes to
payroll, process payroll, make changes to time off accruals and change pay rates. The Senior
Accountant reconciles payroll accruals. The Finance Director reviews payroll reports and
time off balances andcalculates compensated absences balances for the audit.

City's Response
The City Council and City staff are aware of the limited personnelhandlingthe City's financial matters.
The processesand internal controls are reviewed frequently to look for ways to improve internal
controls.The department heads,City Clerk, City Administrator and City Council each have active roles

Report on Matters Identified as a Result of
the Audit of the Financial Statements
Honorable Mayor, Members
of the City Council and Management
City of St. Joseph
St. Joseph, Minnesota
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the governmental activities,
business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of
St. Joseph, Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial
audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States, we considered the City'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 City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph
and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies and, therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that
have not been identified. In addition, because of inherent limitations in internal control, including the
possibility of management override of controls, misstatements due to error, or fraud may occur and not
be detected by such controls. However, as discussed below, we identified a certain deficiency in internal
control that we consider to be a material weakness.
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 over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the City's financial statements will not be prevented, or
detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A reasonable possibility exists when the likelihood of an event
occurring is either reasonably possible or probable as defined as follows:
Reasonably possible. The chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote but
less than likely.
Probable. The future event or events are likely to occur.
The material weakness identified is stated within this letter.
1
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.
The accompanying memorandumalsoincludes financial analysis provided asa basis for discussion.The
matters discussed herein were considered by us during our audit and they do not modify the opinion
expressed in our Independent Auditor's Report dated May 5,2021,on such statements.
This communication is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council,management,
others within the City and state oversight agencies and is not intended to be,andshould not be,used by
anyone other than these specified parties.

City of St. Joseph
Material Weakness
Improve Segregation of Accounting Duties (Continued)
We recommend management and the City Council review the above deficiencies and improve
segregation of accounting duties where possible to build upon the control environment. We also
recommend the City closely follow its internal control plan and follow through with the control
activities that have been designed.

City of St. Joseph
Required Communication
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2020. Professional standards require that we advise you of the following matters related
to our audit.
Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit
As communicated in our engagement letter, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is
to form and express opinions about whether the financial statements prepared by management with your
oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not
relieve you or management of its respective responsibilities.
Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain
reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing 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 over financial
reporting. Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the City solely for the
purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal
control.
We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our
professional judgement, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process.
However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to
communicate to you.
Generally accepted accounting principles provide for certain Required Supplementary Information (RSI)
to supplement the basic financial statements. Our responsibility with respect to the RSI, which
supplements the basic audit financial statements, is to apply certain limited procedures in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards. However, the RSI was not audited and, because the limited
procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance,
we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
Our responsibility for the supplementary information accompanying the financial statements, as
described by professional standards, is to evaluate the presentation of the supplementary information in
relation to the financial statements as a whole and to report on whether the supplementary information is
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Our Responsibility in Relation to Government Auditing Standards
As communicated in our engagement letter, part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of the City's compliance with
certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which
could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However,
the objective of our tests was not to provide an opinion on compliance with such provisions.

City of St. Joseph
Required Communication
Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously communicated to
you.
Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence
The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, our firm, and our network firms have complied
with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.
Qualitative Aspects of Significant Accounting Practices
Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the
significant accounting policies adopted by the City is included in the notes to financial statements. There
have been no initial selection of accounting policies and no changes to significant accounting policies or
their application during 2020. No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under
professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual
transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for
which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.
Significant Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management's current judgements. Those judgements are normally based on 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 markedly from management's current
judgements. The most sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements were:
Depreciation The City is currently depreciating its capital assets over their estimated useful
lives, as determined by management, using the straight-line method.
Net Pension Liability, Deferred Outflows of Resources Related to Pensions and Deferred Inflows
of Resources Related to Pensions These balances are based on an allocation by the pension
plans using estimates based on contributions.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the accounting estimates and determined
that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the
applicable opinion units.
Financial Statement Disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive
because of their significance to financial statement users. The financial statement disclosures are neutral,
consistent, and clear.
Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of
the audit.

City of St. Joseph
Required Communication
Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For the purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known
and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and
communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards require
us to also communicate the effects of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the
relevant classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures, and the financial statements taken
as a whole and each applicable opinion unit.
We identified the following uncorrected misstatement of the financial statements. Management has
determined its effect is immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements
taken as a whole.
Prepaid expenditures
In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected
misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit procedures. The
following material misstatement that we identified as a result of our audit procedures was brought to the
attention of and corrected by management.
Accounts payable
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a
matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or
auditing matter, which could be significant to the City's financial statements or the auditor's report.
No such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Representations Requested from Management
We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in the
management representation letter.
Management's Consultations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters. Management has informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no
consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters.
Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with the City, we generally discuss a variety of
matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, operating and
regulatory conditions affecting the City, and operating plans and strategies that may affect the risks of
material misstatement. None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as the City's
auditor.

Required Communication
Other Information in Documents Containing Audited Financial Statements
We applied certain limited procedures to the RSI that supplements the basic financial statements. Our
procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information
and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
With respect to the supplementary information accompanying the financial statements, 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.

General Fund
For the year ended December 31, 2020, General Fund revenues exceeded expenditures by $471,622. In
addition to this, the fund had transfers in of $61,161 from other funds and transfers out of $297,256 to
other funds resulting in an increase in the General Fund balance of $235,527. Of the City's General Fund
balance at December 31, 2020, $1,102,399 was assigned for specific expenditures, such as the fire
department, elections, and a City structure/facility study. The City also has $4,490 of its fund balance in
nonspendable form as the funds have already been spent on prepaid insurance. The unassigned portion
of the fund balance, which includes monies set aside for working capital, totaled $1,707,066 and
represents approximately five months of 2020 General Fund expenditures. The City's target General
Fund balance is to maintain working capital, a portion of the unassigned balance, in the amount of four
to six months of the next year's budgeted expenditures of the General Fund, excluding the fire
department.

General Fund Revenues
As discussed earlier, the City's revenue increased $1,233,635 from 2019 to 2020. Intergovernmental
revenues accounted for the largest increase from the prior year with an increase of $871,756, or 70.8%.
Most of this increase was from federal grants, which increased $716,733 from 2019, largely related to
CARES funding. The City also received an increase in local government aid in 2020, which increased
$135,216. Tax revenue accounted for the next largest increase, increasing $504,515 from 2019. This
increase was due to an increase in the amount levied. Licenses and permits decreased $77,814 due to
COVID-19 closures. Miscellaneous revenues decreased $78,910 from 2019. This decrease was primarily
due to the City receiving $50,000 in conduit debt fees in 2019. Other revenues stayed consistent with the
prior year.
Total revenues have grown $1,738,547 since 2016, an increase of 54.2%. The largest variances between
the types of revenue over the five-year period have been the increases in property taxes and
intergovernmental revenues. Other revenues have stayed relatively consistent over that timeframe.
The pie charts on the following page show the General Fund sources of revenues for 2020 and 2019 as a
percentage of total revenues. The allocation of sources of revenue fluctuates minimally from year-to-
year. Intergovernmental revenue and taxes account for the two largest components of revenues, each
making up 42% and 39% of the total. The total of these two categories accounts for approximately 81%
and 72% of General Fund revenues for 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As discussed earlier, General Fund expenditures increased $1,044,451, or 30.5%. The most significant
increases in expenditures were in capital outlay, general government, and economic development.
Capital outlay increased $519,655, or 496.7% from 2019. This increase was due to the City purchasing a
new squad car, various equipment for police and fire, various computer hardware, and completing a seal
coat project in 2020. General government expenditures increased $204,676. This increase was primarily
due to the City paying St. Joseph Township for some of the lost property tax revenue they would have
received in 2020 as part of the annexation agreement. Economic development increased $201,414 due to
Coronavirus relief funds that went to local businesses. All other expenditures remained consistent with
the prior year.
The pie charts on the following page show the General Fund expenditures by function for 2020 and
2019 as a percentage of total expenditures. The allocation of expenditures by function vary from year to
year. Public safety remains the largest component of General Fund expenditures, representing 39% of
total expenditures, down from 47% in 2019. Capital outlay increased from 3% to 14% from 2019 to
2020. Public works allocation of total general fund expenditures went from 14% in 2019 to 10% in
2020.

Financial Analysis
General Fund Budget (Continued)
The City had budgeted for an increase in general fund balance of $191,930, with budgeted revenues of
$4.2 million, budgeted expenditures of $4.1 million, and other financing sources of $59 thousand.
General fund revenues were over budget by $746,950. Intergovernmental revenues represented the
majority of this variance coming in over budget $756,668. This variance was due to the City not
budgeting for the coronavirus relief funds that were received in 2020. Other revenues were in line with
the budget.
Total expenditures were over budget by $408,418. Capital outlay had the largest budget variance, being
$398,322 over budget in 2020. This variance was due to the City not budgeting for equipment purchased
using coronavirus relief funds in 2020. The City also did not budget for economic development
expenditures, which were also related to coronavirus relief funds. Other areas were under budget,
primarily due to the City budgeting conservatively for health insurance costs.
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise funds are used to account for operations financed and operated in a manner, similar to private
business enterprises, where the City intends the cost of providing goods or services to the public be
financed or recovered primarily through user charges. The City's Enterprise Funds include the Water,
Sanitary Sewer, Refuse, Storm Water, and Street Light Utility Funds.
Water Fund
The Water Fund showed operating income in all five years presented. Operating revenues increased
$125,143, or 12.5%, from 2019 due to an increase in usage. Operating expenses increased $41,809, or
5.0%, from 2019 to 2020, due to more repairs and supplies needed during the year to repair pumps and
fix a water main break in 2020.
Operations produced operating income of $241,349, which was the highest in the five years presented.
With the exclusion of $441,855 in depreciation expense, the Fund experienced operating income of
$683,204. However, depreciation should be considered as a true expense in operations, as most
equipment and facilities will eventually need upgrades or replacement. The operations of the Water
Fund covered 100% of depreciation expense.
In addition to the operating revenues and expenses of the Water Fund, there were net non-operating
expenses of $25,236, which is comprised of investment income and other income, offset by interest
expense on the outstanding debt. The operating and non-operating activities along with capital
contributions and transfers resulted in an increase in net position of $733,656 to $10,883,219 at
December 31, 2020. The cash and investments balance at December 31, 2020, totaled $1,494,581, an
increase of $673,473. A large portion of this increase was attributed to cash with fiscal agent for cash set
aside in escrow for the crossover bond refunding in 2021.

Water Fund (Continued)
Sanitary Sewer Fund
Operating revenues decreased $47,991, or 3.4%, from 2019 to 2020, while operating expenses increased
$3,421, or 0.3%. Revenues decreased due to a decrease in sewer rates in 2020. Expenses were consistent
with the prior year.
The Sewer Fund produced operating income for all five years presented. Due to the nature and cost of
the Sewer Fund's assets, it is difficult to establish sewer rates sufficient to cover replacement of the
assets represented by depreciation expense. Ideally, sewer revenues should cover all operating expenses,
including depreciation.

Financial Analysis
Sanitary Sewer Fund (Continued)
The graph below indicates the Sewer Fund did generate operating income and covered 100% of
depreciation each year presented.
In addition to the operating revenues and expenses of the Sewer Fund, there were net non-operating
expenses of $132,324, which is primarily due to $148,121 of interest expense paid on outstanding debt.
Capital contributions and transfers along with the operating and non-operating activities resulted in an
increase in net position of $683,356 to $10,552,819 at December 31, 2020. The cash balance at
December 31, 2020, totaled $627,758, an increase of $380,174.

Refuse Fund
The following graph displays selected financial data for the Refuse Fund for the past five years. The
Fund consistently showed an operating loss each year, with the exception of 2016. Operating revenues
increased $17,123, or 5.8%, while operating expenses decreased $3,603, or 1.1%, from 2019 to 2020.
The increase in revenues was due to an increase in rates in 2020. Expenses were consistent with the
prior year. These changes resulted in an operating loss of $859 for 2020. The Fund produced an
operating loss of $744 when depreciation is not considered.
In addition to the operating activities of the fund, there were non-operating revenue of $11,126 which is
comprised of investment income and other income. Transfers along with operating and non-operating
activities resulted in an increase in net position of $8,767. The cash balance decreased $7,227 in 2020

Storm Water Fund
The Storm Water Fund showed operating losses in all five years presented. Operating revenues
decreased $20,225, or 12.1%, from 2019 to 2020, due to the City receiving a large developer fee in
2019. Operating expenses decreased $7,431, or 3.7% due to less engineering costs needed during the
year.
The Storm Water Fund produced an operating loss of $43,966 with depreciation and an operating
income of $94,657 without depreciation expense. The operations of the Storm Water Fund did not cover
the depreciation expense. The Storm Water Fund also had nonoperating revenues of $7,332, capital
contributions totaling $326,245, transfers in totaling $11,376 and transfers out totaling $27,595. Fund
activity resulted in an increase in net position of $273,392. The cash balance decreased $120,819 in
2020 and totaled $197,420 at December 31, 2020.
We recommend the City continue to monitor rates as well as operating expenses to ensure the Fund's
profitability in the future.

Emerging Issue
Executive Summary
The following is an executive summary of financial and business related updates to assist you in staying
current on emerging issues in accounting and finance. This summary will give you a preview of the new
standards that have been recently issued and what is on the horizon for the near future. The most recent
and significant update includes:
Accounting Standard Update GASB Statement No. 87 Leases GASB has issued GASB
Statement No. 87 relating to accounting and financial reporting for leases. This new statement
establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the principle that leases are financing of
the right to use an underlying asset.
The following is an extensive summary of the current update. As your continued business partner, we
are committed to keeping you informed of new and emerging issues. We are happy to discuss this issue
with you further and its applicability to your City.
Accounting Standard Update GASB Statement No. 87 Leases
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.
A lease is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another entity's nonfinancial asset
(the underlying asset) as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like
transaction. Examples of nonfinancial assets include buildings, land, vehicles, and equipment. Any
contract that meets this definition should be accounted for under the leases guidance, unless specifically
excluded in this Statement.
A short-term lease is defined as a lease that, at the commencement of the lease term, has a maximum
possible term under the lease contract of 12 months (or less), including any options to extend, regardless
of their probability of being exercised. Lessees and lessors should recognize short-term lease payments
as outflows of resources or inflows of resources, respectively, based on the payment provisions of the
lease contract.
23
City of St. Joseph
Emerging Issue
Accounting Standard Update GASB Statement No. 87 Leases (Continued)
A lessee should recognize a lease liability and a lease asset at the commencement of the lease term,
unless the lease is a short-term lease or it transfers ownership of the underlying asset. The lease liability
should be measured at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term (less any
lease incentives). The lease asset should be measured at the amount of the initial measurement of the
lease liability, plus any payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement of the lease term
and certain direct costs. A lessee should reduce the lease liability as payments are made and recognize
an outflow of resources (for example, expense) for interest on the liability. The lessee should amortize
the lease asset in a systematic and rational manner over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of
the underlying asset. The notes to financial statements should include a description of leasing
arrangements, the amount of lease assets recognized, and a schedule of future lease payments to be
made.
A lessor should recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources at the commencement of
the lease term, with certain exceptions for leases of assets held as investments, certain regulated leases,
short-term leases, and leases that transfer ownership of the underlying asset. A lessor should not
derecognize the asset underlying the lease. The lease receivable should be measured at the present value
of lease payments expected to be received during the lease term. The deferred inflow of resources
should be measured at the value of the lease receivable plus any payments received at or before the
commencement of the lease term that relate to future periods. A lessor should recognize interest revenue
on the lease receivable and an inflow of resources (for example, revenue) from the deferred inflows of
resources in a systematic and rational manner over the term of the lease. The notes to financial
statements should include a description of leasing arrangements and the total amount of inflows of
resources recognized from leases.
GASB Statement No. 87 is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2021.

and $8 million.
BACKGROUND
City of St. Joseph –Request for Proposal – Fundraising Consultant for Community/Recreation Center
1
St. Joseph is located in scenic central Minnesota 70 miles from Minneapolis and eight miles
west of St. Cloud so residents enjoy the amenities of a metro area while retaining its small-town
character. From 2000 to 2015, the population increased by almost 47%. The community
features a growing economy and steady growth with an estimated population of over 7,300, and
is within the St. Cloud Metropolitan Statistical Area with an estimated population of 189,000. In
addition to a growing economy, St. Joseph offers ample and diverse opportunities in education,
recreation and the arts. Within minutes of St. Joseph are recreational sites and many lakes,
streams, parks and trails, including the Lake Wobegon Trail. The College of St. Benedict is
located within the community and the College of Saint John’s University is located two miles
west in Collegeville.
The Community Center would provide outdoor and in-door amenities for year-round
community programming and events. After discussions regarding a Community Center started
several years ago, the City Council committed six million dollars in local option half cent sales
tax dollars toward the project and more recently was awarded four million instate bonding
funds. The intent is that the Community Center would draw individuals of all ages to a state-of-
the-art Community Center. The following are amenities the City is considering incorporating
into the Community Center Project. The list is not intended to be exhaustive, nor are the
specifications shown for the individual features binding.

study/program area, and lounge area.
