CITY OF HOPKINS, MINNESOTA
COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016
SECTION I
INTRODUCTORY SECTION

June 9, 2017
To the Honorable Mayor, Members of the Hopkins City Council and the Citizens of the
City of Hopkins, Minnesota:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of Hopkins, Minnesota (the City)
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 is hereby submitted. This report was prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as established by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and meets the requirements of the Minnesota
State Auditor’s Office.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City of
Hopkins. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for both the completeness and
reliability of all of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making
these representations, management of the City of Hopkins has established a comprehensive internal
control framework that is designed both to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or
misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City of Hopkins
financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not
outweigh their benefits, the City of Hopkins comprehensive framework of internal controls has been
designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be
free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and
belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City of Hopkins financial statements have been audited by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, a firm of
licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable
assurance that the financial statements of the City of Hopkins for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2016, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements;
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded based
upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering unmodified opinions that the City of
Hopkins financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, are fairly presented in
conformity with GAAP. The independent auditors’ report is presented as the first component of the
financial section of this report.
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to
accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in
conjunction with it. The City’s MD&A can be found in the financial section of this report
immediately following the report of the independent auditors.

Profile of the Government
Hopkins was first settled in 1853 and was incorporated as the Village of West Minneapolis in 1893.
The name was changed in 1928 to Hopkins after one of the early residents. The original territory of
incorporation was three square miles, but successive annexation since 1946 has enlarged this area by
one-third. In 1947, the residents of the area adopted a City Charter with a Council/Manager form of
government. The governing council is responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances,
adopting the budget, appointing committees and hiring the government’s manager and the
government’s attorney. The government’s manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and
ordinances of the government, for overseeing day-to-day operations of the government and for
appointing the heads of the government’s departments.
The report includes all funds of the City, including the City’s Housing and Redevelopment Authority
(HRA). The City provides a full range of services including general government, public safety,
highways and streets, urban redevelopment and housing, culture and recreation, and health and
welfare. In addition to general municipal activities, the City provides water, sewer, storm sewer and
refuse services and operates an ice arena. Low-income rental housing is a function of the HRA. The
Hopkins Fire Relief Association has not met the established criteria for inclusion in the reporting
entity, and accordingly is excluded from this report.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of Hopkins financial planning and control.
All departments of the City of Hopkins are required to submit requests for appropriation to the
Finance Director by July of each year. The Finance Director uses these requests as the starting point
for developing a proposed budget. The Finance Director then presents this proposed budget to the
Council for review prior to September 30th. The Council is required to hold public hearings on the
proposed budget and to adopt a final budget no later than December 31, the close of the City of
Hopkins fiscal year.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund and department. Department heads may make transfers
of appropriations within a department. Transfers of appropriations between funds require approval
of the City Council. Budget to actual comparisons are provided in this report for each individual
governmental fund for which an annual budget has been adopted. For the General Fund and the
major Special Revenue Funds this comparison is presented on pages 37-40 as part of the basic
financial statements for the governmental funds. For governmental funds, other than the General
fund and major Special Revenue Funds, with annual budgets, this comparison is presented in the
combining and individual fund statements and schedules subsection of this report on pages 106-114.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The City of Hopkins, consisting of 2,504 acres, is located in Hennepin County on the westerly fringe
of the Minneapolis urban area. The City, as part of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan complex,
is readily accessible by the many highways and railways leading into the area. This easy access
prompted steady growth for the City of Hopkins during its formative years. In response to this
growth the City developed goals of working towards a planned community, with its policies directed
toward sound ratios of residential, commercial and industrial components, with the current tax base
approximately 76% single family residential and apartments, and 24% commercial-industrial. The
city’s population has stabilized due to the fact that the City is largely developed and the national
trend toward the lowering of persons per household.
4
The City Council and staff along with an organized group of concerned partners determined what the
Vision and the Mission of the City of Hopkins should be. Participation in this project was very high
and the resulting Vision and Mission are as follows:
Community Vision
Creating a Spirit of Unity – Hopkins will be a community where
People are treated with respect
People participate in building culture, character and common bonds
Business growth throughout the City is supported while maintaining a vibrant City center
People feel safe, support outstanding schools and celebrate cultural heritages
People enjoy quality public services, parks and housing
City of Hopkins Mission
Inspire, Educate, Involve, Communicate
Economic Condition and Outlook
Hopkins continues to show strong economic and redevelopment activities within the city. The
valuation of new non-residential construction in 2016 was $64.8 million dollars. This development
activity has been the result of a good development market in the Hopkins area along with successful
planning on the part of the city council and city staff.
Significant projects completed or begun in 2016 include the following:
Activity Valuation
Commercial Additions/Alterations:
Oxford Green Apartments $ 7,000,000
Metropolitan Council Lift Station $ 5,000,000
Hopkins Village Apartments remodel $ 4,400,000
The Moline Apartments $53,000,000
Efforts are being made for continued development and growth for 2017 and beyond. It is anticipated
that over $150,000,000 of construction will also take place in the City of Hopkins during the next
several years.
Some anticipated projects for 2017-2019 include the following:
Project Valuation
Hopkins Cold Storage Site Redevelopment $62,000,000
EBCO Site redevelopment $10,000,000
Long-term financial planning
The City of Hopkins has a strategic plan for economic development and has completed extensive
planning work in anticipation of the Southwest Light Rail Transit (SWLRT) line and the three
Hopkins LRT stations. As a part of the plans, the City of Hopkins intends to pursue various
development and redevelopment efforts throughout the City. Several projects are anticipated.
In 2016, several commercial projects were completed among which was the Hopkins Village
Apartments remodel. In addition the Johnson Building redevelopment was started. This
development by Doran Companies known as "The Moline" will be a 241-unit market rate apartment
building with state-of-the-art amenities along with retail on the first level. The project is projected
5
to be completed in the fall of 2017. Also started was the Oxford Green Apartments, an affordable
housing project next to the newly enhanced Cottageville Park. These developments will have major
impacts on the community. Specialized planning is taking place to ensure that these developments
occur so as to benefit the community and residential neighborhoods.
Significant improvements for Shady Oak Road (County Road 61) began in 2013 and were completed
in 2016. This project is a joint effort between Hennepin County and the Cities of Minnetonka and
Hopkins. A number of neighborhood and town meetings were held to gather input on this project
that will re-align the road and facilitate re-development of the area. The project began in earnest in
2013 with the acquisition of right of way property with major road construction starting in 2014 and
finishing in 2016.
Another project in the planning stages is the 14-mile Southwest Corridor Light Rail Transit
(SWLRT) line that will go from Eden Prairie to downtown Minneapolis passing through Hopkins
and providing development potential at three transit stations that are planned for Hopkins. In
downtown Minneapolis the Southwest LRT will connect with the Hiawatha and Central LRT lines.
Construction of the light rail line is expected to begin in 2017 and is expected to be funded with the
Counties Transit Improvement Board’s transit sales tax in the metro area (30%), and with Hennepin
County Regional Railroad Authority (10%), Federal (50%), and State (10%) dollars.
Relevant Financial Policies
The City of Hopkins has adopted a comprehensive set of financial policies. While no new policies
were developed in 2016 staff continues to review current policies to ensure the remain relevant.
In addition the City of Hopkins’ Fund Balance policy requires that the General Fund’s Unassigned
portion of fund balance be equivalent to a minimum of five months expenditures or 42% of the prior
fiscal year General Fund operating expenses. At December 31, 2016 the General Fund unassigned
fund balance is at 44.2% or $5,437,773 which represents slightly more than five months
expenditures of the 2016 budget. Due to sound fiscal policy and close monitoring of budgets we
remain at the targeted General Fund balance goal.
Major Initiatives
For 2016, the staff, following specific directives of the council and the city manager, has been
involved in a variety of projects throughout the year. These projects reflect the government’s
commitment to ensuring that its citizens are able to live and work in a safe environment and that the
needs for services are met.
In 2016, we accomplished our annual street repair and improvements, at a cost of approximately
$4,180,750. This included the city's share of the Shady Oak Road project, along with improvements
to Mainstreet reconstruction. Along with the street improvements, improvements to the parking
ramp totaled $400,470. In addition preliminary work was begun on the 2017 street improvement
project.
We continue to improve Cottageville Park and invested $521,350 in that park in 2016 adding a
pavilion. Additional park project improvements for 2016 totaled $1,083,870 and included
improvements to Oakes, Valley, Hilltop and Burnes Parks and Maetzold Field.
The water, sewer and storm sewer departments also completed in conjunction with the street
improvements, infrastructure reconstruction projects totaling $2,543,200. In addition rehabilitation
6
work was done on the Blake and Moline water towers totaling $1,087,960. Other projects included
work on Lift Station No. 7 that will continue into 2017.
Other improvement projects in 2016 included Public Works garage upgrade totaling $821,875 with
the project continuing into 2017, and smaller improvements to the Activity Center gymnasium and
city hall office remodeling as a result of staff reorganization.
Future projects
A systematic citywide sidewalk rehab program was initiated in 1992. Each year one quadrant is
inspected and necessary repairs made. A sidewalk/trail plan was developed and implemented in
2003, which guides future improvements and connections to regional trails.
The City has established a street reconstruction and storm sewer program based on a street condition
survey and storm water management program. The streets found in poor condition and future
problem streets will be systematically included for repairs in the five-year Capital Improvement
Plan.
Certificate of Achievement For
Excellence in Financial Reporting
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial reporting to the City of Hopkins for its
comprehensive annual finance report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. In order to be
awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, a governmental unit
must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report.
This report must satisfy both U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal
requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current
comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s
requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
Acknowledgments
We wish to express our appreciation to the Mayor and City Council for their continued interest and
support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the City in a responsible and
progressive manner. We also want to express our appreciation to the Finance Department staff for
their work in preparing this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Hopkins, 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 Hopkins,
Minnesota (the City), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the
table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting 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.
12
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Hopkins, Minnesota
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of December 31, 2016, and the
respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective
budgetary comparison for the General Fund and major special revenue funds 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, schedule of funding progress – other postemployment benefits
plan, schedules of the City’s proportionate share of net pension liabilities and schedules of pension
contributions and the schedule of funding progress, 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 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’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and
individual nonmajor fund statements and schedules and statistical section are presented for purposes
of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund 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 fund statements and schedules are
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide
any assurance on them.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Hopkins, Minnesota
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 9,
2017 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control
over financial reporting and compliance.

CITY OF HOPKINS, MINNESOTA
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Unaudited)
This section of the City’s comprehensive annual financial report presents a discussion and analysis of
the City’s financial activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. This discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with the letter of transmittal in the introductory section of this
report.
Financial Highlights
The assets and deferred outflows of the City exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows at the
close of the 2016 fiscal year by approximately $56.3 million (net position). Of this amount,
approximately $18.3 million (unrestricted net position) is unavailable to meet the City’s
ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors due in part to the recognition of the City's share of
the unfunded pension obligation.
The City’s total net position decreased by approximately $6.2 million. A key factor in this
decrease included changes in pension assumptions. Actuarial assumptions were changed,
including the lowering of the assumed investment return and discount rate. These changes
contributed to the increase in the net pension liability and the decrease in net position.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of approximately $23.3 million, an decrease of approximately $(3.6)
million in comparison with the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the payment of
refunding bonds February 2016. Approximately $3.0 million of fund balance is available for
spending at the City’s discretion (assigned or unassigned fund balance).
As of December 31, 2016, unassigned fund balance for the General Fund was approximately
$5.5 million, or 45% of total general fund expenditures. This compares to $5.4 million from the
prior year, an increase of approximately $93,000. The General Fund working capital goal
policy stated that the City will strive to maintain a fund balance in the General Fund for
working capital of 42% of the previous year's General Fund expenditures. At December 31st
working capital is at 45%.
The City of Hopkins total debt increased by approximately $8.855 million during the current
fiscal year due to the sale of improvement, tax abatement and refunding bonds for four bond
issues. Total new debt totaled $12.3 million and bond maturities totaled $3.455 million.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Hopkins basic
financial statements. The City of Hopkins basic financial statements comprise three components: 1)
government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial
statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial
statements themselves.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to
provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Hopkins finances, in a manner similar to a private-
sector business.
15
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City of Hopkins assets, deferred
outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources with the difference between them
reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful
indicator of whether the financial position of the City of Hopkins is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City net position changed during the
most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving
rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses
are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods
(e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Hopkins 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 Hopkins include general,
public safety, highways, streets, culture, recreation, urban redevelopment, housing, health and welfare.
The business-type activities of the City of Hopkins include water, sewer, refuse, storm sewer utilities,
an ice arena, and a housing and redevelopment authority.
The government-wide financial statements include the City of Hopkins itself, but also a legally separate
Hopkins Housing and Redevelopment Authority. Although the Hopkins Housing and Redevelopment
Authority is legally separate, it functions for all practical purposes as a department of the City of
Hopkins, and therefore has been included as an integral part of the primary government.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 29-30 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 Hopkins, like
other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of Hopkins can be divided into two
categories: governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the
government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term
inflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the
fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a City’s near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By
doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the City’s near-term financing
decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balance provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between
governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City of Hopkins maintains thirty-nine individual governmental funds. Information is presented
separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, Economic Development, Arts Center,
16
Tax Increment District Super Valu, 2015D GO TI Revenue Bonds, 2016D GO TI Revenue Bonds, and
Permanent Improvement Revolving fund all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the
other thirty-two funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for
each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere
in this report.
The City of Hopkins adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund and all of its special
revenue funds except for the Community Development Block Grant fund. A budgetary comparison
statement has been provided for the General fund and major special revenue funds and schedules are
provided for other funds to demonstrate compliance with the budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 31-40 of this report.
Proprietary funds. The City of Hopkins maintains two types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds
are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide
financial statements. The City of Hopkins uses enterprise funds to account for its water, sewer, refuse,
storm sewer utilities, the pavilion ice arena, and the housing and redevelopment authority. Internal
service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City
of Hopkins various functions. The City of Hopkins uses internal service funds to account for
replacement of equipment, insurance deductibles and compensated absences. Because all of these
services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been
included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements,
only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the
water, sewer, storm sewer utility funds, all of which are considered to be major funds of the City of
Hopkins. Data from the other three enterprise funds are combined into a single, aggregated
presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major proprietary funds is provided in the form
of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The internal service funds are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the
internal service funds is also provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 41-44 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in
the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found
on pages 47-80 of this report.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain
required supplementary information. Required supplementary information can be found on pages 82-
85 of this report.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds, non-
major proprietary funds and internal service funds are presented immediately following the required
supplementary information. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on
pages 88-122 of this report.

Government-Wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial
position. In the case of the City of Hopkins, assets and deferred outflows exceeded liabilities and
deferred inflows by $56,261,981 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
Due to the recognition of pension liability almost all (99%) of the City of Hopkins net position is
reflected in its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery and equipment); less any
related debt used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding. The City of Hopkins uses these
capital assets to provide services to citizens. The net capital assets are not available for future spending.
Although the City of Hopkins investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be
noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources.

A portion of the City of Hopkins net position represent resources that are subject to external restrictions
on how they may be used.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Hopkins is able to report positive balances in three
categories of net position, for its governmental activities and in all categories for the business-type
activities. The City’s net position decreased by $6,159,369 during the current fiscal year.
The net pension liability and the pension-related deferred outflows and inflows of resources (which are
reported in accordance with GASB Statement No. 68), do not change the City's future funding
requirements or obligations under the plans, which are determined by state statutes. Additionally, the
City has recorded the net pension asset of the Hopkins Fire Department Relief Association in the
government-wide statements.
18
Net position was impacted by $7,957,695 at December 31, 2016 due to the implementation of this
standard. Pension-related amounts included in the above schedule related to the standard are as follows:
Net pension asset $ 451,063

Governmental activities: Property taxes increased in 2016 due to tax growth and a reduction in tax
appeals. The City also received a number of program grants for specific programs in addition to state
municipal aid for a major street improvement project. Net position decreased primarily due to payment
of refunding debt that was sold the previous year and called in February 2016.
21
Business-type activities. Business-type activities had a increase in net position due to transfers and
greater than expected revenues. A utility master plan was developed in 2007 with scheduled rate
increases that are designed to cover operations, debt and capital needs over the next 15 years. In 2016
as a result of increased capital need for the utility funds a rate study was undertaken and implemented in
2017 that will further improve the financial health of the utility funds.
22
Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds
As noted earlier, the City of Hopkins uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the City of Hopkins governmental funds is to provide information
on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in
assessing the City of Hopkins financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve
as a useful measure of a City’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Hopkins governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $23,317,818, decrease of $(3,580,892) in comparison with the prior year. The
key factor of the decrease was the refunding payment for the 2007 HRA Revenue Bonds in February
2016.
Approximately 13% of fund balance or $2,988,724, constitutes assigned and unassigned fund balance,
which is available for spending at the City’s discretion. The remainder of fund balance is non-
spendable, restricted or committed to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it is
either in a non-spendable form (inventory, prepaid expenses, rehabilitative loans, or property held for
resale); restricted (debt service, tax increment projects) or has already been committed (for economic
development, property purchases, parking, and communication activities).
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Hopkins. At the end of the current fiscal
year, unassigned fund balance of the general fund was $5,533,137. This represents 94.3% of the general
fund’s total fund balance. As a measure of the general fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare
both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund
balance represents approximately 45.0% of total general fund expenditures while total fund balance
represents approximately 47.7% of that same amount.
The fund balance of the City of Hopkins general fund decreased by $(141,206) during the current fiscal
year. Revenues exceeded expenditures by $9,794 before transfers. This decrease was primarily the
result of the general funds contribution of $125,000 towards the public works garage upgrade.
The Economic Development fund has a total fund balance of $4,356,160 of which $4,356,160 is
committed for economic development. The fund balance decreased by $(29,822) primarily as a result
of the city's participation in the facade grant program to improve business store fronts on Mainstreet in
Hopkins and the write-off of the loan from the Arts Center.
The Arts Center fund has a deficit fund balance of $(997,040) all of which is unassigned. The fund
balance deficit decreased by $185,916 as a result of a $300,000 loan write-off from the Economic
Development fund. While the Arts Center received a programming grant from the Minnesota State Arts
Board to offset programming costs those costs still exceeded budgeted revenues due to higher
performing artist fees and expenses . Staff and the Friends of the Hopkins Center for the Arts, a non-
profit associated with the Arts Center, continue working to identify significant donors and corporate
sponsors to underwrite arts programming and decrease the deficit.
The Tax Increment District Super Valu fund has a total fund balance of $5,017,489 of which all is
restricted for tax increment. The fund balance increased by $1,505,759 due to revenues exceeding
amounts owed to developers for project costs and related financing.
23
The 2015D GO TI Refunding bond fund has a total fund balance of $148,753 all of which is restricted
for the payment of debt service. The fund balance decreased by $(7,305,803) as the 2007 HRA
Revenue bonds were called in February 2016.
The 2016D GO TI Refunding bond fund has a total fund balance of $3,678,531 all of which is restricted
for the payment of debt service. The fund balance increased by $3,678,531 as refunding bonds were
sold in November 2016 to call the 2009 HRA Revenue bonds in February 2017.
The Permanent Improvement Revolving fund has a total fund balance of $(639,073) which is
unassigned. The fund balance decreased by $(1,081,486) as a result of project costs expended from
prior year revenues and project expenses for the 2017 street project. Revenues in this fund are derived
from special assessments and taxes. Bonds are being sold in June of 2017 for the 2017 street project.
Proprietary funds. The City of Hopkins proprietary funds provide the same type of information found
in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.
Unrestricted net position of the Water fund at the end of the year amounted to $(1,401,511). The
increase in net position amounted to $1,235,271 and is due to project costs that are being funded by the
2016 bond issue. The City completed a utility rate study which evaluated the entire rate structure of the
water fund. The City is implemented a tiered rate structure in February 2017 that will meet state
requirements for conservation pricing and meet the City's needs for operations and capital expenditures.
The new rates went into effect February 2017.
Unrestricted net position of the Sewer fund at the end of the year amounted to $(92,584). The
unrestricted net position will be used to pay for infrastructure improvements. The increase in net
position amounted to $494,824 and is due to operating revenues exceeding operating expenses along
with transfers in from the permanent improvement fund for reimbursement of project costs.. Along
with the water fund a utility rate study is was done for the sewer fund. A rate structure was put in place
in February 2017 to ensure adequate funds are maintained for operations and capital needs in the long-
term.
Unrestricted net position of the Storm Sewer Utility fund at the end of the year amounted to $935,103.
The unrestricted net position will be used to pay for infrastructure improvements. The increase in net
position amounted to $684,473 and is due to transfers in from the permanent improvement fund for
reimbursement of project costs.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The difference between the general fund original budget and the final amended budget resulted in
departmental budget changes but did not increase the total expenditure budget when transfers out are
included. The reason for the inter-departmental amendments was a transfer between expenditure
categories to match actual expenditures and a transfer from the contingency fund for technology
expenditures. The budget changes can be summarized as follows:
Several departments had small budget modifications, however when departments were
combined for reporting purposes the budget changes balanced out and no change was noted.
During the year revenues were over budgetary estimates by $433,833 due to increases in license and
permit revenue, fines, federal grants, recreation fees and donations. This was offset by a decrease in tax
24
revenues as a result of rebates due taxpayers who challenged their valuations in tax court and less than
expected miscellaneous revenues.
Expenditures were over budget by $(450,039) and was due to increased costs in the administration,
public safety and public works departments primarily due to increased personnel costs. In addition a
decision was made to use $125,000 of fund balance for the public works garage expansion project.
The net effect of these budget impacts was an decrease in fund balance of $(141,206) after transfers.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assets. The City of Hopkins investment in capital assets for its governmental and business type
activities as of December 31, 2016, amounts to $89,026,668 (net of accumulated depreciation). This
investment in capital assets includes land, buildings, improvements, vehicles, machinery and
equipment, park facilities, roads, highways, bridges, distribution systems and construction in progress.
Major capital asset events during the current fiscal year included the following:
Construction in progress additions totaled $8,335,377 for infrastructure projects and
enhancements to a undeveloped city park.
A total of $3,074,049 of assets was transferred from construction in progress to other
improvements as infrastructure projects were completed and put into service.
Vehicle and equipment purchases totaled $964,480. Major purchases included public works
equipment, public safety vehicles and equipment.
Vehicle and equipment deletions totaled $514,543. Deletions were a result of scheduled
replacements of public works, public safety vehicles and equipment.

this report.
Long-term debt. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Hopkins had total bonded debt
outstanding of $52,865000. Of this amount $15,950,000 comprises tax increment redevelopment debt,
and $31,125,000 comprises general obligation and special assessment debt, all of which is backed by
the full faith and credit of the government. Another $1,425,000 is special fees debt for which the
government is liable in the event of default by the property owners subject to the fees. The remainder
of the City of Hopkins debt, $4,365,000, represents bonds secured solely by specified revenue sources
(i.e., revenue bonds).

The City of Hopkins total bonded debt increased by $8,855,000 during the current fiscal year. The
increase is a result of the issuance of $4,335,000 in GO. Improvement Bonds that financed street
improvements, the issuance of $1,630,000 on GO Tax Abatement Bonds for various park and parking
ramp improvements, the issuance of $2,805,000 in GO Bonds for equipment purchases and utility
projects and the issuance of $3,540,000 in GO TI refunding bonds to refund the 2009 HRA Revenue
Bonds that will be called February 1, 2017. General Obligation Bonds are backed by the full faith,
credit and taxing power of the City, and are serviced by General and Tax Increment levies and also by
fees assessed against benefited properties.
Revenue Bonds are backed by the full faith, credit and taxing power of the City, and are serviced by the
Water, Sewer, and Storm Sewer Utility Funds and the Pavilion Fund current revenues.
City Special Assessment Bonds are backed by the full faith, credit and taxing power of the City, and
repayment monies are generated by the collection of special assessments and general levies.
The City is subject to a statutory limit of bonded indebtedness equaling 3.0 percent of taxable market
value. At December 31, 2016, the debt limit for the City is $51,633,159. Of the total debt, $23,522,000
of general obligation and revenue bonds is applicable to the limit. After taking into consideration funds
on hand available to liquidate debt, the legal debt margin is $29,871,758.
The City of Hopkins was upgraded to a “AA+” rating from Standard & Poor’s in January 2014 which
was reaffirmed in November 2015 and again in June and October 2016 and maintains an “A1” rating
from Moody’s.
Additional information on the City of Hopkins long-term debt can be found in note 9 on pages 60-63 of
this report.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates
A number of factors were taken into consideration when preparing the City of Hopkins 2017 budget. A
utility rate study was completed for the water and sewer funds to better position those funds for the
future. New rates for these funds were implemented in February 2017. The tax capacity rate increased
as a result of economic conditions. Property values are starting to increase and this was taken into
consideration when determining estimated tax revenues. Also taken into consideration is that the City’s
population would remain constant. As a result of these factors the City prepared a budget for 2017 that
included an overall increase of 8.08% in expenditures. The 2017 budget includes provisions for two
26
new police officers, two new public works employees, a comp & class rate study and an update to the
City's comprehensive plan.
During the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance in the general fund was $5,533,137 or 45% of
general fund expenditures. The Office of the State Auditor recommends unassigned fund balances no
less than five months of operating expenditures. The City is meeting the recommendation for the
general fund. The unassigned fund balance is used to pay for the City’s general fund obligations until it
receives its property tax levy revenues in June.

therefore, not reported in the governmental funds.
Capital assets 86,034,287
Less accumulated depreciation (27,005,160)
Other long-term assets not available to pay current period expenditures and, therefore, are deferred in the
governmental funds.

certain activities, such as replacement of City vehicles and equipment. The assets and
liabilities of the internal service funds are included in the governmental

City of Hopkins
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures
and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds
to the Statement of Activities
For the Year Ended December 31, 2016
Net change in fund balances total governmental funds $ (3,580,892)
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the
statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful
lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital
outlays exceeded depreciation in the current period. 5,661,988
The net effect of various miscelleneous transactions involving capital assets
(i.e. sales, trade-ins, and donations) is a decrease to net assets (816)
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources
are not reported as revenues in the funds (1,360,171)
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds,
while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt uses the current financial resources of
governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also,
governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is
first issued, whereas these amounts are recorded in the statement of net position and amortized in

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

City of Hopkins, Minnesota
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES
The City of Hopkins, Minnesota (the City) is a charter City, which was approved December 2, 1947. The City
operates pursuant to applicable Minnesota laws and statutes. The governing body of the City is a Council – Manager
form of government.
The financial statements of the City have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles as applied to governmental units by the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The more
significant accounting policies of the City are described below.
A. REPORTING ENTITY
In accordance with GASB pronouncements, the City’s financial statements include all funds and departments of
the City and its component units, for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. A blended
component unit, although legally separate entity is, in substance, part of the City’s operations and so data from this
unit is combined with data of the primary government. The City’s blended component unit has a March 31 year-
end, however when blended with the City it is shown with a December 31 year-end.
Blended Component Unit
Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Hopkins (HRA)
The HRA was created by the City to carry out certain redevelopment projects and low-income rental housing. The
HRA's governing body is the same as the governing body of the primary government in that all members of the
Hopkins City Council are also the Hopkins Housing and Redevelopment Authority Commissioners. The City of
Hopkins in its capacity as the HRA Board of Directors, has operational responsibility for the HRA. Therefore
there is a burden relationship between the primary government and the component unit. The housing activity is
supported in part by federal subsidies. There is an extensive trust agreement between the HRA and HUD
regarding the facility. The HRA is included in the City’s enterprise funds. Separate financials are not prepared.
B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., statement of net position and the statement of changes in net
position) report information on all activities of the primary government and its component units. The interfund
services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation. 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. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit
from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other
items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds 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
47
City of Hopkins, Minnesota
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, (CONT.)
December 31, 2016
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 have been met. Unbilled utility service receivables are recorded at
year-end.
Governmental funds are accounted for using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified
accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become
measurable and available). “Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be determined and “available”
means collectible within the current period or within sixty days thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current
period.
Major revenues that are susceptible to accrual include property taxes, special assessments, intergovernmental
revenues, charges for services, and investment earnings. Major revenues that are not susceptible to accrual include
fees and miscellaneous revenues; such revenues are recorded only as received because they are not measurable
until collected.
Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund
liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt and compensated absences that are
recognized when due and payable.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The general fund is the primary operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources
except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The economic development special revenue fund accounts for development opportunities of the city. Sources
of funds are derived from the administration of loans and an annual tax levy.
The arts center special revenue fund accounts for the activities of the Hopkins Center for the Arts. Sources of
funds are derived from leases, ticket sales, admission fees, grants and donations.
The tax increment district super valu special revenue fund accounts for the activities of the Super Valu tax
increment development district. Sources of funds are a tax increment levy.
The 2015D general obligation tax increment revenue bonds debt service fund accounts for resources
accumulated and payments made for principal and interest on long-term debt issued for the Cargill development
project.
The 2016D general obligation tax increment revenue bonds debt service fund accounts for resources
accumulated and payments made for principal and interest on long-term debt issued for the Cargill development
project.
The permanent improvement revolving capital projects fund accounts for resources and accumulated payments
for street improvements funded with bonds and special assessments levied on benefited property.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The water utility fund accounts for the operations of the City-owned water distribution system. The water
bonds of 2009A, 2012B and 2013A are included as part of this fund since revenues of the water fund are
pledged to pay principal and interest on this bond.
The sewer utility fund accounts for the operations of the City-owned sewer lift stations and disposal system.
The sewer bonds of 2009A, 2012B and 2013A are included as part of this fund since revenues of the sewer
fund are pledged to pay principal and interest on this bond.
48
City of Hopkins, Minnesota
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, (CONT.)
December 31, 2016
The storm sewer utility fund accounts for the operations and improvements of the storm water drainage system.
The storm water bond issues of 2009A, 2010B, 2012B and 2013A are included as part of this fund since
revenues of the storm sewer fund are pledged to pay principal and interest on these bonds.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Governmental Funds
Special Revenue Funds - Special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources
that are legally restricted or committed by Council to expenditures for specified purposes.
Debt Service Funds - Debt service funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the
payment of, general long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs.
Capital Project Funds - Capital project funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the
acquisition or construction of major capital facilities and infrastructure, other than those financed by proprietary
funds or special revenue funds.
Proprietary Funds
Enterprise Funds - Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a
manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent of the governing body is that the costs
(expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis, be
financed or recovered primarily through user charges.
Internal Service Funds – Internal service funds are used to account for the financing of goods and services
provided by one department to other departments of the City on a cost-reimbursement basis. Internal service
funds are used for equipment replacement, insurance deductions and employee benefits.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial
statements, however interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or
privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special
assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues.
Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and
expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a
proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City enterprise funds and
internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and service. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and
internal service 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 non-operating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted
resources first, and then use unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Cash balances from all funds are combined and invested to the extent available in authorized investments pursuant
to Minnesota Statutes (see note 4). Earnings from such investments are allocated to the respective funds on the
basis of applicable cash balance participation by each fund. Investments in certificates of deposit with a maturity
date of less than one year at the date of purchase are reported at cost or amortized cost, which approximates fair
value. Investments held longer than one year are reported at fair value, based on quoted market prices.
The City accounts for its cash, cash equivalents and investments in an entity-wide cash management pool, which is
used essentially as a demand deposit account. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the proprietary funds
49
City of Hopkins, Minnesota
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, (CONT.)
December 31, 2016
consider all investments to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash and investments are reported separately on the
financial statement.
E. INTERFUND RECEIVABLES/PAYABLES
Activity between funds that is representative of lending/borrowing arrangements and transactions between funds
that are outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to “due to/from other funds” Any residual balances
outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide
financial statements as “internal balances.”
The non-current portion of due from other funds is offset by nonspendable fund balance in the general fund to
indicate that this portion of fund balance is not available for appropriation and is not expendable available financial
resources.
F. INVENTORIES AND PREPAID ITEMS
All inventories are accounted for using the consumption method and are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out
(FIFO) method.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items
in both government-wide and fund financial statements. Prepaid items are reported using the consumption method
and recorded as expenditures/expenses at the time of consumption.
G. CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets, which include land, buildings, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, curbs and
gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting systems, and similar items), are reported in the applicable
governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements and the proprietary
fund financial statements. The City defines capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than
$5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of three years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost. Donated
capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets
lives are not capitalized.
Assets not being depreciated include land and construction in progress. Buildings, equipment, and infrastructure of
the City and the HRA are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Buildings 30 - 40 years
Mains and Lines 40 - 50 years
Streets 20 - 25 years
Improvements 10 - 20 years
Vehicles 3 - 30 years
Equipment 3 - 20 years
H. DEFERRED OUTFLOWS/INFLOWS OF RESOURCES
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred
outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a
consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and will not be recognized as an outflow of
resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The City has two items that qualify for reporting in this category. It is
the deferred charge on refunding reported in the government-wide statement of net position and the deferred
charge for pensions (see Pension section below for explanation). A deferred charge on refunding results from the
difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and
amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. In addition to liabilities, the statement of
50
City of Hopkins, Minnesota
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, (CONT.)
December 31, 2016
financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate
financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to
a future period(s) and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has one
item that qualifies for reporting in this category. It is the deferred charge for pensions (see Pension section below
for explanation). The City also has one type of item, which arises under a modified accrual basis of accounting
that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the
governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from four sources:
property taxes, special assessments, loans and grants. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of
resources in the period that the amounts become available.
I. COMPENSATED ABSENCES
The City compensates all employees upon termination for unused vacation or flex leave. Employees hired prior to
August 1, 1998 may opt to have sick leave, at the rate of 8 hours for each calendar month of full-time service,
instead of flex leave.
Employees hired prior to August 1, 1998, that have not opted for flex leave, shall be entitled to severance pay, after
completion of five years of continuous City employment. Severance pay is calculated by multiplying the total
number of continuous years in the City employ and/or accumulated sick leave by the daily wage rate prevailing at
date of severance, at one day per year of such employment, to a maximum of 20 days. Such severance money shall
be paid in case of separation caused by death, eligible retirements, or medically attested disability preventing an
employee from performing the major duties of the position or separation for non-disciplinary reasons.
Accumulated vacation, flex and vested severance pay is reported as an expense and an accrued liability as the
benefits accrue to employees in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for
these amounts is reported in the governmental funds only if benefits have matured as a result of employee
resignations and retirements. The employee benefits internal service fund reports the governmental funds’ liability
for compensated absences on the accrual basis.
J. PENSIONS
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense,
information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) and
additions to/deductions from PERA's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are
reported by PERA except that PERA's fiscal year end is June 30. For this purpose, plan contributions are
recognized as of employer payroll paid dates and benefit payments and refunds are recognized when due and
payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
For purposes of measuring the liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources, and
expense associated with the City's requirement to contribute to the Hopkins Fire Relief Association, information
about the Plan's fiduciary net position and additions to/deductions from the Hopkins Fire Relief Association Plan's
fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Plan. For this purpose,
benefit payments (including refunds of contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the
benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
K. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary 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, amortized over the life of the
bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
51
City of Hopkins, Minnesota
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, (CONT.)
December 31, 2016
In the governmental fund financial statements bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs are
recognized 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.
L. NET POSITION/FUND EQUITY
Net position represents the difference between assets and liabilities in the government-wide financial statements.
Net position invested 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. Net position is reported as
restricted in the government-wide financial statements when there are limitations imposed on their use through
external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, laws or regulations of other governments.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balances in classifications that disclose
constraints for which amounts in those funds can be spent. These classifications are as follows:
Nonspendable – portions of fund balance related to prepaids, inventories, long-term receivables, and land held
for resale.
Restricted – funds are constrained by external parties (statute, grantors, bond agreements, etc.).
Committed – fund constraints are established and modified by a resolution approved by the City Council.
Assigned – consists of internally imposed constraints. These constraints are established by the City Council
and/or management. The City Council also delegates the authority to assign fund balance to the Finance
Director per City Legislative Policy 6-G, Fund Balance.
Unassigned – is the residual classification for the General Fund and also reflects negative residual amounts in
other funds.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available,
it is the City’s policy to use restricted first, then unrestricted fund balance.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which committed, assigned, and unassigned amounts are
available, it is the City’s policy to use committed first, then assigned, and finally unassigned amounts.
The City formally adopted a fund balance policy for the General Fund. The policy establishes an unassigned fund
of a minimum of 5 months or 42% of the previous year’s budgeted expenditures.
M. INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
Inter-fund services provided and used are accounted for as revenues and expenditures. Transactions that constitute
reimbursements to a fund for expenditures initially made from it that are properly applicable to another fund are
recorded as expenditures in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures in the fund that is reimbursed.
All other interfund transactions are reported as transfers.
N. PROPERTY TAXES
Property tax levies are set by the City Council in December of each year, and are certified to Hennepin County (the
County) for collection in the following year. In the State of Minnesota, counties act as collection agents for all
property taxes. The County spreads all levies over assessable property. Such taxes become a lien on January 1 and
are recorded as receivables by the City at that date.
52
City of Hopkins, Minnesota
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, (CONT.)
December 31, 2016
Real property taxes are payable by taxpayers in two equal installments, on May 15 and October 15. Personal
property taxes are also payable by taxpayers in two equal installments, on February 28 and June 30. The County
provides tax settlements to cities and other local governments three times a year, on or before January 25, July 5
and December 5.
In the governmental fund financial statements property taxes are accrued and recognized as revenue for collections
within 60 days of year-end. Taxes that remain unpaid at the County on December 31 are classified as delinquent
taxes receivable, and are fully offset by deferred inflows of resources because they are not available to finance
current expenditures. No allowance for uncollectible taxes has been provided because such amounts are not
expected to be material.
O. CONDUIT DEBT OBLIGATIONS
From time to time, the City has issued Commercial Development Revenue Notes/Bonds in accordance with the
Minnesota Municipal Industrial Development Act. These obligations are issued to provide financial assistance to
private-sector entities for the acquisition and construction of industrial and commercial facilities deemed to be in
the public interest. The obligations are secured by the property financed and are payable solely from payments
received on the underlying mortgage loans. Upon repayment of the obligations, ownership of the acquired
facilities transfers from the bond holder to the private-sector entity served by the debt issuance. Neither the City,
the State, nor any political subdivision thereof is obligated in any manner for repayment of the obligations.
Accordingly, the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. As of December
31, 2016, there were 7 notes/bond issues outstanding, with an aggregate principal amount payable of
approximately $31 million.
P. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENTAL FUND BALANCE
SHEET AND THE GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between fund balance – total governmental funds
and net position – governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement of net position. One
element of that reconciliation explains that long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable
in the current period and therefore are not reported in the funds. Details of this difference are as follows:
Bonds payable $ 49,546,974
Accrued interest payable 366,375
Net OPEB obligation 95,269
Net adjustment to reduce fund balance - total governmental
funds to arrive at net position - governmental activities $ 50,008,618

B. EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENTAL FUND STATEMENT
OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE AND THE GOVERNMENT-
WIDE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances includes a reconciliation
between net changes in fund balances – total governmental funds and change in net position of governmental
activities as reported in the government-wide statement of activities. One element of that reconciliation explains,
“Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of
those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.” The details of this
difference are as follows:
Capital outlay $ 7,325,035
Depreciation expense (1,663,047)
Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund balances -
total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net position
of governmental activities $ 5,661,988
Another element of that reconciliation explains that, “the issuance of long-term debt provides current financial
resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt uses financial resources of
the governmental funds. Neither of these transactions has any effect on the net position. Also, governmental funds
report the effect of premiums, discounts and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are
deferred and amortized in the statement of activities.” The details of these differences are as follows:
Principal repayments $ (3,075,000)
Issuance of general obligation bonds 12,310,000
Add premium 452,971
Less deferred loss on refunding debt -
OPEB expense (49,635)
Amortization of deferred losses on refunding 40,778
Amortization of bond premium and discount (55,852)
Prior year interest expense (325,248)
Accrue interest expense for current year 366,375
Net adjustment to decrease net changes in fund balances -
total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net
position of governmental activities 9,664,389
3. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for all
governmental funds except the Section 8 and Hennepin County CDBG special revenue funds, the debt service
funds and the capital projects funds, which are not budgeted. A capital improvement plan is reviewed annually by
the City Council for the capital projects funds and utility funds. However, appropriations for major projects are
not adopted until the actual bid award of the improvement. The appropriations are not reflected in the financial
statements. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end.
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements and set
forth in Section 7.04 of the City Charter.
1. The City Manager shall, at the first regular council meeting in September, submit to the Council a proposed
budget and an explanatory budget message in a form and manner as prescribed by the City Charter.
54
City of Hopkins, Minnesota
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, (CONT.)
December 31, 2016
2. The Council shall determine the plan and time of the public hearings on the budget to obtain taxpayer
comments.
3. The Council shall adopt the tax levy by resolution no later than a December date, which is annually established
by law for the county auditor to levy taxes. The budget shall set forth the total for each budgeted fund with
such segregation as to objects and purposes of expenditures as the Council deems necessary for purposes of
budget control.
4. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any fund; however,
any revisions that alter the total expenditures of any fund must be approved by the City Council and are limited
to the amount revenues exceed the budgets or authorize the transfer of sums from unexpended balances to other
purposes. Budgeted expenditure appropriations lapse at year-end. The level of legal control is at the fund
level.
5. The Council made no supplemental budgetary appropriation throughout the year.
B. EXCESS OF EXPENDITURES OVER APPROPRIATIONS
For the year ended December 31, 2016, actual expenditures exceeded the budgeted amounts in the following funds:
General Fund $ 450,039
Economic Development 531,663
State Chemical Assessment Team 36,300
Parking 134,179
Communications 70,388
Depot Coffee House 45,514
Tax Increment District Entertainment District 462
Tax Increment District Sonoma 850
Tax Increment District Oakes of Mainstreet 615
5th Avenue Flats 884
These over expenditures were funded by greater than anticipated revenues of the General, Economic Development,
State Chemical Assessment Team, Communications, Depot Coffee House, and Tax Increment District
Entertainment District funds, from fund balance in the General, Economic Development, Parking,
Communications, and Tax Increment District Oakes of Mainstreet funds, and by future revenues in the Tax
Increment District Sonoma, and 5th Avenue Flats funds.
Budgets are adopted for some special revenue fund types but not all. Excluded from the budget adoption process
are funds that are completely reimbursable from the federal and state governments. The Community Development
Block Grant Funds is a non-budgeted fund.

development, of which $5,604,519 is restricted by enabling legislation. The remaining $36,083 is CDBG funds
restricted by outside parties.
4. DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
As of December 31, 2016 the City had the following deposits and investments:

Interest rate risk – Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of investments will be adversely affected by a change
in interest rates. In accordance with City of Hopkins Legislative Policy 6-B, Standards of Investments, the city
manages its exposure to declines in fair values by structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet
cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to
maturity.

Credit risk – Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counter party to an investment will not fulfill its obligations.
Credit risk is measured using credit quality ratings of investments in debt securities as described by nationally
recognized rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s. According to the City’s investment policy
commercial paper shall be restricted to issues, which mature in 270 days or less with a rating of A-1 (Moody’s), P-1
(Standard & Poor’s) or F-1 (Fitch) among at least two of the three rating agencies.
The City is authorized by Minnesota Statutes to invest in the following:
(a) Direct obligations or obligations guaranteed by the United States or its agencies
(b) Shares of investment companies registered under the Federal Investment Company Act of 1940 and whose
only investments are in securities described in (a) above
(c) General obligations in the State of Minnesota or any of its municipalities
(d) Bankers’ acceptances of United States banks eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System
(e) Commercial paper issued by United States corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries, of the highest
quality, and maturity in 270 days or less; and

Custodial credit risk
Deposits – For deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposits may not be
returned to it. Minnesota Statutes require that all City deposits be protected by insurance, surety bond, or
collateral. The market value of collateral pledged must equal 110% of the deposits not covered by insurance or
bonds. Authorized collateral includes the legal investments described above, as well as certain first mortgage
notes, and certain other state or local government obligations. Minnesota Statutes require that securities
pledged as collateral be held in safekeeping by the City treasurer or in a financial institution other than that
furnishing the collateral. At December 31, 2016 the City had no deposits that were uninsured or
uncollateralized. The deposits were insured or collateralized by securities held by the City’s agent in the City’s
name.
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. All investments held by the City are insured or registered or are held by the City or its agent in the
City’s name. The City has no investments that are uninsured or unregistered nor are any investments held by a
counterparty or a counterparty's trust department or agent that is not in the city's name.
Concentration of credit risk – This is the risk associated with investing a significant portion of the City’s investments
(considered 5% or more) in the securities of a single issuer, excluding U.S. explicitly guaranteed investments

5% or more for a single issuer.
Fair Value Measurement – The City used fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets
and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The City follows an accounting standard that defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used
to measure fair value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
In accordance with this standard, the City has categorized its investments, based on the priority of the inputs to the
valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy,
the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the combined statements of financial position are categorized based on the
inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 - Financial assets and liabilities are valued using inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets accessible at the measurement date of identical financial assets and liabilities.
Level 2 - Financial assets and liabilities are values based on quoted prices for similar assets, or inputs that
are observable, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term through corroboration with
observable market data.
Level 3 - Financial assets and liabilities are valued using pricing inputs which are unobservable for the asset,
inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants and
would use in pricing the assets.
Assets measured a fair value on a recurring basis:

the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). PERA’s defined benefit pension plans are
established and administered in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 353 and 356. PERA’s defined
benefit pension plans are tax qualified plans under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
1. General Employees Retirement Fund (GERF)
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City are covered by the General Employees Retirement
Fund (GERF). GERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated Plan

officers and firefighters belonging to a local relief association that elected to merge with and transfer assets and
administration to PERA.
Benefits Provided

only be modified by the state legislature.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. Increases are related to the funding ratio of the plan.

plans that have not exceeded 90% funded, or have fallen below 80%, are given 1% increases.
The benefit provisions stated in the following paragraphs of this section are current provisions and apply to active plan
participants. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but are not receiving them yet are bound by the
provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their public service.
1. GERF Benefits
Benefits are based on a member’s highest average salary for any five successive years of allowable service, age, and
years of credit at termination of service. Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERA's Coordinated and Basic
Plan members. The retiring member receives the higher of a step-rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1) or a level
accrual formula (Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate for a Basic Plan member is 2.2% of average
salary for each of the first ten years of service and 2.7% for each remaining year. The annuity accrual rate for a
Coordinated Plan member is 1.2 percent of average salary for each of the first ten years and 1.7% for each remaining
year. Under Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.7% of average salary for Basic Plan members and 1.7% for
Coordinated Plan members for each year 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. Disability benefits are available
for vested members and are based upon years of service and average high-five salary.

2. PEPFF Benefits
Benefits for the PEPFF 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 ten years of credited service. Benefits for PEPFF members first hired after June
30, 2014, vest on a prorated basis from 50% after ten years up to 100% after twenty years of credited service. The
annuity accrual rate is 3% of average salary for each year of service. For PEPFF who were first hired prior to July 1,
1989, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal at least 90.
B. Contributions
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. Contribution rates can only be
modified by the state legislature.
1. GERF Contributions
Basic Plan members and Coordinated Plan members were required to contribute 9.1% and 6.50%, respectively, of their
annual covered salary in calendar year 2016. The City was required to contribute 11.78% of pay for Basic Plan
members and 7.50% for Coordinated Plan members in calendar year 2016. The City’s contributions to the GERF for
the year ended December 31, 2016, were $376,176. The City’s contributions were equal to the required contributions
as set by state statute.
2. PEPFF Contributions
Plan members were required to contribute 10.8% of their annual covered salary in calendar year 2016. The City was
required to contribute 16.20% of pay for PEPFF members in calendar year 2016. The City’s contributions to the
PEPFF for the year ended December 31, 2016, were $444.662. The City’s contributions were equal to the required
contributions as set by state statute.
C. Pension Costs
1. GERF Pension Costs
At December 31, 2016, the City reported a liability of $6,763,547 for its proportionate share of the GERF’s net pension
liability. The City’s net pension liability reflected a reduction due to the State of Minnesota’s contribution of $6 million
to the fund in 2016. 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 $88,334. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2016,
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 proportion 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, 2015, through June 30, 2016, relative to the
total employer contributions received from all of PERA’s participating employers. At June 30, 2016, the City’s
proportion was .0833%, which was a decrease of .0002% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2015.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, the City recognized pension expense of $901,432 for its proportionate share of
the GERF’s pension expense.

2. PEPFF Pension Costs
At December 31, 2016, the City reported a liability of $11,236,887 for its proportionate share of the PEPFF’s net
pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2016, 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 proportion 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, 2015, through June 30, 2016, relative to the total employer contributions
received from all of PERA’s participating employers. At June 30, 2016, the City’s proportion was .280%, which was
a decrease of .011% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2015.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, the City recognized pension expense of $1,964,886 for its proportionate share
of the PEPFF’s pension expense. The City also recognized $25,200 for the year ended December 31, 2016, as pension
expense (and grant revenue) for its proportionate share of the State of Minnesota’s on-behalf contributions to the
PEPFF. Legislation passed in 2013 required the State of Minnesota to begin contributing $9 million to the PEPFF
each year, starting in fiscal year 2014.

D. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2015, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial
assumptions:
Inflation 2.50% per year
Active Member Payroll Growth 3.25% per year
Investment Rate of Return 7.50%
Salary increases were based on a service-related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees, survivors and
disabilitants were based on RP-2014 tables for males or females, as appropriate, with slight adjustments. Cost of
living benefit increases for retirees are assumed to be: on percent per year for all future years for the General
Employees Plan and Police and Fire Plan.
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2016, 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 2015. The experience
study for Police and Fire Plan was for the period July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2009.

City of Hopkins, Minnesota
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, (CONT.)
December 31, 2016
The following changes in actuarial assumptions occurred in 2016:
The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0% per year through 2035 and 2.5% per year
thereafter to 1.0% per year for all future years.
The assumed investment return rate was changed from 7.9% to 7.5%. The single discount rate was changed from
7.9% to 7.5%.
Other assumptions were changed pursuant to the experience study dated June 30, 2015. The assumed future salary
increases, payroll growth, and inflation were decreased by 0.25% to 3.25% for payroll growth and 2.50% for
inflation.
Police and Fire Fund
The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0% per year through 2037 and 2.5%
thereafter to 1.0% per year for all future years.
The assumed investment return was changed from 7.9% to 7.5%. The single discount rate changed from 7.9% to
5.6%.
The assumed future salary increases, payroll growth, and inflation were decreased by 0.25% to 3.25% for payroll
growth and 2.50% for inflation.
The State Board of Investment, which manages the investments of PERA, prepares an analysis of the reasonableness
on a regular basis of the long-term expected rate of return on a regular basis using a building-block method in which
best-estimate ranges of expected future rates of return are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are
combined to produce an expected long-term rate of return by weighting the expected future rates of return by the
target asset allocation percentages. The target allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each
major asset class are summarized in the following table:
Asset Class Target Allocation Long-Term Expected Real
Rate of Return
Domestic Stocks 45% 5.50%
International Stocks 15% 6.00%
Bonds 18% 1.45%
Alternative Assets 20% 6.40%
Cash 2% 0.50%
Total 100%
E. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2016 was 7.5%, a reduction from the 7.9% used in
2015. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan
members and employers will be made at rates set in Minnesota Statutes. Based on these assumptions, the fiduciary net
position of the General Employees Fund was 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, (CONT.)
December 31, 2016
In the Police and Fire Fund, the fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future
benefit payments of current plan members through June 30, 2056 and June 30, 2058 respectively. Beginning in fiscal
years ended June 30, 2057 for the Police and Fire Fund, when projected benefit payments exceed the funds’ projected
fiduciary net position, benefit payments were discounted at the municipal bond rate of 2.85% based on an index of 20-
year general obligation bonds with an average AA credit rating at the measurement date. An equivalent single
discount rate of 5.60% for the Police and Fire Fund was determined that produced approximately the same present
value of projected benefits when applied to all years of projected benefits as the present value of projected benefits
using 7.50% applied to all years of projected benefits through the point of asset depletion and 2.85% after.
F. Pension Liability Sensitivity
The following presents the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for all plans it participates in,

2. Hopkins Fire Relief Association (HFRA)
A. Plan Description
Firefighters of the City of Hopkins are members of the Hopkins Fire Department Relief Association. The
Association is the administrator of the single-employer defined benefit pension plan available to firefighters. The
plan was established in 1909 and is administered pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 69, Chapter 424A, and
the Association’s by-laws. It is governed by a Board of Trustees made up of six members elected by the members
of the Association for three year terms, and the Mayor, City Clerk and Fire Chief, who serve as ex-officio voting
members of the Board of Trustees. As of December 31, 2014, membership includes 40 active participants and 18
vested terminated employees entitled to benefit but not yet receiving them
The Association issues a publically available financial report that includes financial statements and required
supplementary information of the Hopkins Fire Relief Association. That report may be obtained by writing to the
Hopkins Fire Relief Association, 1010 First St S, Hopkins, MN 55343.

B. Benefits Provided
The Association operates under a defined benefit plan. The pension liability is calculated by the number of active
service years multiplied by a set benefit level. The Association’s current level is at $6,100 per active year. According
to the bylaws of the Association and pursuant to Minnesota statute 424A.02, subdivisions 2 and 4, members who retire
with less than 20 years of service and have reached the age of 50 years and have completed at least ten years of active
membership are entitled to a reduced service pension not to exceed the amount calculated by multiplying the
member’s service pension for the completed years of service times the applicable non-forfeitable percentage of
pension. The defined retirement benefits are based on members’ years of service. Vesting begins after the 10th year of
service with a 60% benefit increasing by 4% per year to 100% after the 20th year of service.
If a member of the Association shall become totally and permanently disabled, with a service related disability (injured
in the line of duty) to the extent that a physician or surgeon acceptable to the Board shall certify that such disability
will permanently prevent said member from performing said member’s duties in the Department, the Association shall
pay to such member the sum of the current pension amount for each year and fractions of a year that the member has
served as an active member of the Department, without regard to minimum or partial vesting requirements. If a
member who has received such a disability pension should subsequently recover and return to active duty in the
Department, any amount paid to said member as a disability pension shall be deducted from said member’s service
pension.
Upon the death of any member of the Association who is in good standing at the time of said member’s death, the
Association shall pay to the surviving spouse, if any, and if there is no surviving spouse, to child or children, if any,
and if no child or children survive, to the estate of such deceased member, the credited sum of said member’s pension.
C. Contributions
Minnesota Statues Chapter 424A.093 specifies minimum support rates required on an annual basis. The significant
actuarial assumptions used to compute the municipal support are the same as those used to compute the accrued
pension liability. The association is comprised of volunteers; therefore, there are no payroll expenditures (i.e. there are
no covered payroll percentage calculations). The minimum contribution from the City of Hopkins and state aid is
determined as follows:
Normal Cost for the Next Year
+ Amortization of Unfunded Actuarial Liability as Reported
in the Latest Actuarial Valuation
+ Administrative Expenses for the Prior Year Multiplied
by a Factor of 1.035
- Anticipated State Aid (Not to Exceed the Fire Aid Received
in the Prior Year Multiplied by a Factor of 1.035)
- Anticipated Contributions Required by the Association
Bylaws from Active Members of the Association
= Minimum Municipal Obligation
The Plan is funded in part by fire state aid and, if necessary, City contributions. The State of Minnesota distributed to
the City $99,843 in fire state aid and $4,000 in supplemental benefit reimbursements paid by the City to the Relief
Association for the year ended December 31, 2015. Required employer contributions are calculated annually based on
statutory provisions. The City’s statutorily-required contribution to the plan for the year ended December 31, 2015
was $32,166.

E. Actuarial Assumptions
The actuarial total pension liability was determined as of December 31, 2015, using the following actuarial
assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in
which best-estimates of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense
and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These asset class estimates are combined to produce the
portfolio long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by weighting the
expected future real rates of return by the current asset allocation percentage (or target allocation, if available) and by
adding expected inflation.
The best-estimate of expected future real rates of return were developed by aggregating data from several published
capital market assumption surveys and deriving a single best-estimate based on the average survey values. These
capital market assumptions reflect both historical market experience as well as diverse views regarding anticipated
future returns. The expected inflation assumption was developed based on an analysis of historical experience blended
with forward-looking expectations available in market data.

F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50%. Assets were projected using expected benefit
payments and expected asset returns. Expected benefit payments were discounted by year using expected assets 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 of return. The equivalent single rate is the
discount rate. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to
make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members.

At December 31, 2008, the City adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 45,
Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions. The City
engaged an actuary to determine the City’s liability for postemployment healthcare benefits other than pensions as of
January 1, 2016, for this single employer defined benefit OPEB plan.
1. Plan Description
The City, a single-employer postemployment benefit plan, provides benefits for retirees as required by Minnesota
Statute §471.61 subdivision 2b. Active employees, who were hired prior to July 1, 1993 and have been with the City
for at least ten years and are either (1) age 60 years or older or (2) eligible for full PERA retirement benefits.
Employees retiring by June 30, 2007 will receive full single health and life insurance coverage until age 65;
employees retiring between July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2009 will receive $500 per month towards the cost of
single health and life insurance until age 65; and employees retiring after December 31, 2009 will receive $15 per
month times years of service (maximum of $500 per month) towards the cost of single health and life insurance until
age 65. Currently 16 employees meet those eligibility requirements. As of December 31, 2016 there were
approximately 91 active participants and 17 retired participants receiving benefits from the City’s health plans.

4. Funded Status and Funding Progress
As of January 1, 2016, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the City’s unfunded actuarial accrued liability
(UAAL) was $1,534,346. The annual payroll for active employees covered by the plan in the actuarial valuation was
$8,171,262 for a ratio of UAAL to covered payroll of 18.78%.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about
the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment,
mortality, and healthcare cost trends. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual
required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past
expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required
supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about
whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued
liabilities for benefits.

5. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by
the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the
historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial
methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in
actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the
calculations.
In the January 1, 2016 actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used. The actuarial
assumptions included a 3.5% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses), which is a blended rate of the
expected long-term investment returns on plan assets and on the employer’s own investments calculated based on the
funded level of the plan at the valuation date. The initial healthcare trend rate was 6.75%, reduced by decrements to
an ultimate rate of 5% after six years. Both rates include a 2.5% inflation assumption. The UAAL is being
amortized over 30 years (2016 - 2047) as a level percentage of projected payrolls on an closed basis.
13. REHABILITATION LOANS RECEIVABLE
The City makes rehabilitation loans to residential and commercial entities within the City. Residential loans are
made for 20 year periods at 3% interest. A mortgage against the property improved is required and City staff is
responsible to follow-up any delinquent accounts. Loan repayments are made to Matrix Financial Services, a loan
service bureau, which charges a fee of $5.95 per month per loan. Principal and interest are forwarded to the City
monthly with loan collection and loan status reports. Rehabilitation loan activity is a function of the Economic
Development Fund, and the Hennepin County CDBG Funds. Loans become due in full upon sale of property.
Rehabilitation loans receivable amounted to $ 36,083 at December 31, 2016 and are recorded in the Hennepin
County CDBG non-major special revenue funds.
14. CLAIMS AND LITIGATION
The City had the usual and customary types of miscellaneous claims pending at year-end, which are of a minor nature
and usually all covered by insurance carried for that purpose. The City carries a $1,000,000 Public Official Liability
Insurance policy with public entity and employee endorsement.
15. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and
omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City participates in a public entity risk pool to mitigate
its exposure to these risks. Workers compensation and property and liability coverage are provided through a pooled
self-insurance plan with other cities. Settled claims have not exceeded insurance coverage in any of the past three
fiscal years and no significant reductions in coverage from the prior year. The City pays an annual premium based
on prior claims history for its workers compensation coverage. The public entity risk pool is responsible for the
payment of all associated claims. The City has a $20,000 deductible per occurrence with a maximum per year out of
pocket of $40,000, for its property and liability coverage. The public entity risk pool is responsible for all losses in
excess of $20,000 per occurrence and all losses occurring after the $40,000 maximum City out of pocket costs.

16. TAX ABATEMENTS
The City enters into property tax abatement agreements through the use of tax increment financing districts with local
businesses under various Minnesota Statutes. Under these statutes the City annually abates taxes collected above the
districts' base tax capacity which is established during adoption of the tax increment district. These agreements are
established to foster economic development and redevelopment through creating jobs, removing blight and providing
affordable housing. The City uses Minnesota Statutes 469.001 to 469.047 and 469.174 to 469.179 (The Tax
Increment Act) to create these districts.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, the City has five agreements established under Minnesota Statute 469.174 to
469.179 (The Tax Increment Act) which resulted in property taxes totaling $2,959,460 being abated. The following
agreement exceeded 10 percent of the total amount abated.
A pay as you go note to convert substandard property into an office complex. The abatement amounted to
$2,751,506.
17. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
At the April 18, 2017 meeting, the City Council approved issuance and sale of $11,795,000 General Obligation Street
Reconstruction Bonds, Series 2017A and $3,490,000 General Obligation Bonds, Series 2017B. Proceeds from the
2017A bonds will be used for the City’s 2017 road construction and 8th Avenue reconstruction projects and proceeds
from the 2017B bonds will be used for Burnes Park improvements and various improvements utility needs. Both
issuances were offered for sale on June 20, 2017.

Note: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. This schedule shows the
portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of the City. This process
recognizes that, when considering the City's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and
businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and therefore responsible for repaying
the debt, of each overlapping government.
(a) The percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using the taxable market values. Applicable percentages were estimated by
determining the portion of the county's and school district's taxable market value that is within the City's boundaries.
(b) City of Hopkins direct debt includes long-term debt instruments of the City which are bonds and capital leases of the government.
(c) Net Debt Outstanding excludes revenue bonds.
