General Description and Form of Government
The City of Stillwater, incorporated in 1894, is a growing community located on the St Croix River in central Washington
County, approximately 20 miles east of Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. Stillwater encompasses an area of
approximately 4,891 acres serves a population of 18,638.
The City of Stillwater operates under the "Home Rule Charter" form of government under the provisions of State of
Minnesota Law. The Mayor is the president of the Council and together with the four -member City Council comprises
the governing body of the City. The City Council is responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances, adopting
the budget, appointing committees, and hiring a City Administrator. The City Administrator has the responsibility of
carrying out the policies and ordinances of the City Council and of overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City.
The Mayor is elected at -large and the Council Members are elected by Wards to serve four-year overlapping terms of
The City provides a full range of municipal services. These services include: general government, public safety (police
& fire), public works (streets & fleet), parks and recreation, public improvements, and providing and maintaining sanitary
sewer, storm sewer, signs & lighting and parking infrastructure.
Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity.
The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self -balancing accounts that comprise its assets,
liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures/expenses. Government resources are allocated to and accounted for
in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities
The budgeted funds of the City are grouped into two broad categories as follows:
Governmental Funds - Governmental Funds are used to account for the "governmental -type" activities of the
City (e.g. activities that receive a significant portion of their funding from property taxes, state aids, and various
grants). The Governmental Funds budgeted for the City are the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt
Service Funds, and Capital Project Funds.
Proprietary Funds - Proprietary Funds are used to account for the "business -type" activities of the City (e.g.
activities that receive significant portion of their funding through user charges). The Proprietary Funds budgeted
by the City are the Enterprise Funds.
Basis of Accounting and Budgeting
The Governmental Funds are budgeted and accounted for on a modified accrual basis. Under this method, revenues
are recognized when they are measurable and available. "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be
determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter (usually within 60 days
after the end of the year) to pay liabilities of the current period. Expenditures are recognized when a transaction is
expected to draw upon current spendable resources, rather than future resources.
The Proprietary Funds are budgeted and accounted for on a full accrual basis. Under this method, revenues are
recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time the liabilities are incurred.

history of predictability, stability or volatility. The estimation methods used are a combination of trend analysis and
forecasting from information provided by prior years actuals and City departments.

cost and benefits of each project/equipment and uses this information when preparing the annual budget.

Special Levys (Debt Service Tax Levy for Debt Service obligations and PERA Employer Contribution Rate Increase
Levy) . See Certified Levy on page 6. The levies are allowed by State Statutes, and are collected from property owners
by Washington County and distributed to the City in July, December, and January.
Truth -in -Taxation Public Hearing
Each year in November and early December, State Statutes require all counties, school districts, and cities with a
population over 2,500 hold a public meeting to discuss the proposed budget and property tax levies. As part of this
process, each property is sent by the County a Truth -in -Taxation notice, which shows the impacts of the proposed levies
on their individual property. The public meeting is set up as a forum for citizens to come and discuss their views on the
proposed budget and property tax levies with the public officials of each jurisdiction. The City of Stillwater held its public
meeting on Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at 7:00 p.m.

MARKET VALUE EXCLUSION
All homesteaded property under $413,800 in property value will receive a Homestead Market Value Exclusion. The
homesteaded property no longer receives a credit that reduces the property taxes paid. Instead, a portion of the
property's value will be excluded from taxation. The Homestead Market Value Excludes from taxation 40% of the value
on the first $76,000 of a property's value. The amount excluded is reduced as the value rises over $76,000 (the
exclusion reduction is equal to 9% of the value over $76,000). Homesteads that $413,800 in value will receive no
homestead exclusion. The chart below gives examples of the exclusion amount on various value homes:

HOW CITY PROPERTY TAXES ARE CALCULATED
Step 2. Calculate Individual Parcels City Property Tax
Formula: Property's Net Tax Capacity x City Property Tax Rate = Property's City Property Tax
NET TAX CAPACITY
The Net Tax Capacity is calculated by multiplying the Taxable Market Value less the Market Value Exclusion of the parcel by
the appropriate assigned Class Rate of the parcel.
- the Taxable Market Value (TIVIV) refers to the amount of value of the parcel that is used in calculating taxes. The TMV is
determined by Washington County Assessor's office and then reduced by the Market Value Exclusion.
- the Class Rate is based on the assigned use or classification of the parcel.
Class Rates are determined by the MN Legislature and a

YEARLY BOND RATINGS
Each year the City must borrow money on the open market for various types of projects/acquisitions. The better the
City's bond rating, the lower the interest costs the City pays on its debt obligations. The City receives its bond ratings
from Moody's Investor Services*.
Below are the City's bond rating for the past 10 years:

**For the fiscal year 2010, on April 21, 2010, Moody's upgraded the City's bond rating even though there were no
bonds issued during 2010. For the fiscal year 2013, the City issued bonds only for its componenent unit, the Board of
Water Commissioners.
*Moody's Investor Services municipal bond ratings are defined as follows:
There are nine basic rating categories for long-term obligations. They range from Aaa (highest quality) to C (lowest
quality). Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating classification from Aa to Caa. The
Modifier 1 indicates that the issue ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-
range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic category. (Note: for
ease of presentation, only a portion of the nine categories is presented).
Aaa Bonds that are rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, with minimal credit risk.
Aa Bonds that are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.
A Bonds that are rated A are considered upper -medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.
Baa Bonds that are rated Baa are subject to moderate credit risk. They are considered medium grade and as such
may possess certain speculative characteristics.
Ba Bonds that are rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial credit risk.
B Bonds that are rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.
Caa Bonds that are rated Caa are judged to be of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.
Ca Bonds that are rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of
recovery of principal and interest.
C Bonds that are rated C are the lowest rated class and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of
principal or interest.

SIGNS & LIGHTING
Fund Type: Enterprise Fund
Fund Number: bio
Fund Description:
The Signs & Lighting Fund was established to account for the operation and maintenance of the City's sign and
lighting infrastructure within the entire City.
Other Information:
The sign and lighting utility fee was approved and enacted by the City Council, pursuant to Ordinance #938, on June
17, 2003. The purpose of this ordinance was to "encourage the installation of street lighting (including signage)
throughout the City to promote the general health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City". Benefits from this
system for utility users do not just reside within the general neighborhood of the utility user, but also for the general
use of the entire sign and lighting system within the City limits.
Funding Source:
Expenses are solely supported by service fees charged to users.
Rates (established by Resolution No. 2003-151, 07/01/2003):
Single -Family and Duplexes: $8 per dwelling Commercial: $96 per acre
Multi -Family: $6 per unit Commercial with System: $128 per acre
Institutional: $24 per acre Active Open Space: $2 per acre
Interfund Obligation
* On August 5, 2003, Resolution Number 2003-173, the City Council approved the funding of the Industrial Park
Lighting Project (Engineering Project #2000-13) by the Sign & Lighting Fund. There were insufficient funds, at that
time, in the Sign & Lighting Fund to fund the $265,000 project. The Council authorized an interfund borrowing,
pledging future cash to be used to repay the interfund borrowing. In 2004, when the project was complete, the
Capital Project fund borrowed $165,470 to the Sign & Lighting Fund to cover the negative cash amount of the fund.
** As part of the feasibility report for the 2006 Street Improvement Project (Forest Hills), Council authorized $40,000 of
funding from the Signs & Lighting Fund to cover costs associated with installation of street lights in the project. The
existing lights in the project area were estimated to be over 40 years old. Another interfund borrowing from the
Capital Projects Fund was done to cover the deficit in the Signs and Lighting Fund. Future cash is pledged for the
repayment of the interfund borrowing.
**
The balance of the interfund borrowings is as follows:

expected use of those funds are as follows:

2015
Commitments approved and in progress:
OPH Street Improvement Project
Loan Repayment on Amory Land
Expected Balance less approved and future
commitments/additions:

(Bond Proceeds)
m o
The City funds its capital purchases with capital outlay bond proceeds which are issued every other and
repaid through the debt service tax levy. The City's policy is to maintain a level debt service (bond principal
and interest). This level debt service, in turn, provides for a level debt service levy. As part of the City's
planning process, the City's policy is to budget and fund (using capital outlay bond proceeds) for larger
projects over multiple years to reduce the impact on the bond issuance for any given budget year. Below is a
list of capital projects/funds that already have been budgeted and bonded for, and that have been set aside
(reserved) for future purchase (beyond 2014):
