INDEPENDENT AUDITOR' S REPORT
Honorable Mayor and Council
City of Prior Lake
Prior Lake, Minnesota
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 Prior Lake, Minnesota (the City), as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2008 ,which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial
statements based on our audit. The prior year comparative information has been derived from the City's 2007 financial statements
and, in our report dated May 5, 2008, we expressed unqualified opinions on the respective proprietary fund fmancial statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our 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, 2008, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows and the
respective budgetary comparison for the General fund thereof, for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
As Discussed in Note 6 to the basic financial statements, the City adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement
No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions for the year ended
December 31, 2008.
The Management's Discussion and Analysis on pages I through XV is not a required part of the financial statements but is
supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have
applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of
measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no
opinion on it.

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 fund financial statements, and statistical tables are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and
individual fund financial statements and schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken
as a whole. The introductory section and statistical tables have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
As management of the City of Prior Lake (the City), we offer readers of the City's financial statements this narrative overview
and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
Financial Highlights
• The City's bond rating of Aa3 was reaffirmed by Moody's Investor Service which places Prior Lake in the top ten
percentile of all Minnesota cities. Moody's recognizes Prior Lake for following prudent fiscal management practices and
credited the City for being progressive and anticipatory of its growth needs.
• The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $128,917,046 (net assets). Of
this amount, $20,403,510 (unrestricted net assets) maybe used to meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens and
creditors.
• The City's total net assets increased by $4,549,462.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of
$13,974,994, a decrease of $10,667,935 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 83 percent of this total
amount or $11,566,810 is available for spending at the City's discretion (unreserved fund balance).
• At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance for the general fund was $5,489,435, or 44 percent of
budgeted 2008 expenditures and transfers ($12,426,431)
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements. The City's 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 supplemental 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's finances, in a
manner similar to aprivate-sector business.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two
reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial
position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net assets changed during the most recent fiscal
year. All changes in net assets 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 expenditures 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 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 include general government, public safety, public works, culture and recreation, economic development and interest on
long-term debt. The business-type activities of the City include water and sewer utilities, storm water utility and transit
services.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 4 - 6 of this report.

Management's Discussion and Analysis -Continued

Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific
activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local government, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into two categories:
governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental
activities in the government-wide fmancial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements,
governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on
balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information maybe useful in evaluating a
government's near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to
compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in
the government-wide financial statements, by doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the City's
near-term fmancing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds
and governmental activities.
The City maintains 21 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, Debt
Service, Construction, Trunk Reserve, Water Storage funds which are the major funds. Data from the other 16 governmental
funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental
funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided
for the General fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 7 - 13 of this report.
Proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the
government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its water and sewer utilities, storm
water utility and transit services.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 14 - 21 of this report.
Notes to 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 22 - 52 of this report.
Other Information
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds and internal service funds are
presented immediately following the notes to financial statements. Combining and individual fund fmancial statements and
schedules can be found on pages 53 - 81 of this report.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case of the
City, assets exceeded liabilities by $128,917,046 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
The City's investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire
those assets that are still outstanding total 81 percent of total net assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide services
to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in its capital
assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from
other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

An additional portion of the City's net assets (3 percent) repres ents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how
they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets ($20,403,510) may be used to meet the City's ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal y ear, the City is able to report p ositive balances in all three categories of net assets, both for
the City as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities.
The increase in net assets in business-type activ ities was mainly from operating cash flow of the operations.

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows
and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular,
unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of
the fiscal year.
Activity in the City's major funds is discussed below.
Major funds
Fund Balance December 31
2008
2oa7
Increase
(Decrease)
General $ 5,489,435 $ 5,020,666 $ 468,769
The increase in the general fund was mainly due to a decrease in overall spending.
Debt Service 2,097,292 2,437,706 (340,414)
The debt service fund balance decreased $340 thousand. This was anticipated since the City manages cash flow in all debt
service funds and ensures adequate resources exist to fund future obligations.
Construction $ 744,631 $ 811,968 $ (67,337)
This major projects in this fund during 2008 were costs related to the County Road 21 project and proceeds from the 2008
Street bonds.
Trunk Reserve $ 1,026,109 $ 1,322,544 $ (296,435)
This fund is used to account for capital projects.
Water Storage $ 486,845 $ 9,912,602 $ (9,425,757)
The most significant costs were approximately $10 million to fund construction of the water treatment facility.

Management's Discussion and Analysis -Continued

General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Actual revenues were $405,000 less than budget in 2008. This is primarily due to reductions in development-related
revenues. In addition, the State cut the second half Market Value Homestead Credit (MVHC) which resulted in a reduction
of $113,000. Offsetting some of the reduced revenues was increased interest income earnings. Interest income was $135,000
over budget. During 2008, market yields declined significantly resulting in higher market prices. The increased interest
income includes the fair value adjustment for investments.
Actual expenditures were $874,000 less than budget in 2008. In anticipation of a reduction in revenues, the organizational
structure was modified and expenditures were reduced for all departments. In addition, the contingency reserve comprised
$185,000 of the savings.
The City's General Fund balance will have increased by an estimated net amount of $469,000 to a preliminary audited
position of $5.49 million. This General Fund balance amount represents a reserve of 44 percent based upon the 2008 annual
budget.
We anticipate that the regional building slowdown will continue another 24 months. Because of this market uncertainty it is
important that the City of Prior Lake exercise caution and continue to maintain its financial strength through a healthy
General Fund reserve.
Capital Assets. The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business type activities as of
December 31, 2008, amounts to $143,038,195 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes
land, buildings and system, improvements, machinery and equipment, park facilities, roads, highways and bridges.
A variety of street construction projects in new residential developments contributed to the overall recent residential growth.

The City's total debt decreased during the current fiscal year due to the scheduled retirement of outstanding bonds.
The City`s assigned rating from Moody's is Aa3 for general obligation debt.
The City's statutory debt limit is equal to three percent of estimated taxable market value of property located within the City.
The taxable market value totals $2,695,007,700, which calculates to a debt margin of $80,850,231. Debt financed partially or
entirely by special assessments is not applied against the City's debt limit, nor is debt fmanced by proprietary fund revenues.
Currently, the City has $11,065,000 of general obligation debt outstanding leaving a debt margin of $69,785,231.
Additional information on the City's long-term debt can be found in Note 3E on pages 37 - 43 of this report.

Management's Discussion and Analysis -Continued

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates
• The City adopted a general operating budget of $12,476,974 for fiscal year 2009, an increase of $50,543 or .41
percent over the 2008 budget. This budget reflects an anticipated reduction of $226,000 in Market Value Homestead
Credit from the State and a reduced level of staffing due to the reorganization that took place in 2008.
• The City approved a 5.51 percent property tax levy increase for 2009. This includes the levy required to meet the
debt service obligations and reflects a continued reduction in development-related revenues.
• The 2009 budget for the enterprise funds is $6.4 million, an increase of $433,000 over the 2008 budget. This
increase is primarily due to additional water quality improvement projects and transit contract services.
• Continued staged development of land with the 3,000 acres annexed in 2004 from Spring Lake Township will
provide the majority of the City's anticipated market value growth over the course of the next 10-15 years.
• Residential building activity is expected to continue its slowdown reflecting the metropolitan twin cities area
construction downturn.
• It's anticipated that 25 single family construction starts will occur in 2009.
• The design phase of the CR42/McKenna road improvement is scheduled to begin in 2009. Construction for the
CR21 extension to CSAH 169 project is scheduled to begin in 2009.
• The 7.5 MGD water treatment facility is scheduled for completion in 2009.
Financial management policies

standards serve multiple purposes:
(a) to serve as best practice measures to strengthen the City's financial position and maximize the return of the taxpayer
dollar
(b) to communicate the fiscal performance and condition of the City to residents in a consistent manner
(c) to facilitate the setting of policy and fmancial direction by the Council with resident input

RECONCILIATION OF THE BALANCE SHEET
TO THE STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008

current period and therefore are not reported as liabilities in the funds.
Long-term liabilities at year-end consist of:
Compensated absences
OPEB Liability
Bond principal payable
Less bond discount net of accumulated amortization
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources
are not reported as revenue in the fund financial statements.
Delinquent property taxes

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF
REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES (DEFICITS)
TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
Total net change in fund balances -governmental funds $ (10,667,935)
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement
of activities are different because:
Capital outlays are reported in governmental funds as expenditures. However, in the statement of
activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over the estimated useful lives as depreciation expense.
Capital outlay 16 176 974
Depreciation expense (2,619,080)
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while
the repayment of principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental
funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report
the effect of issuance costs, premiums, discounts and similar items when debt is first issued,
whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities.
Principal repayments 3,380,000
Debt issued or incurred, plus premium, less issuance costs and discount (2,245,000)
Bond issuance costs 50,223
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are not
reported as revenues in the funds.
Capital assets contributed by developers 296,912
Assets constructed in the governmental funds for the enterprise funds are eliminated in the
government-wide statements. (2,439,385)
Interest on long-term debt in the statement of activities differs from the amount reported in the
governmental fund because interest is recognized as an expenditure in the funds when it is due,
and thus requires the use of current financial resources. In the statement of activities, however,
interest expense is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due. 7,373
Governmental funds report debt issuance premiums and discounts as an other financing
sources or uses at the time of issuance. Premiums and discounts are reported as an
unamortized asset or liability in the government-wide financial statements. (23,342)
Delinquent property taxes receivable will be collected this year but are not available soon
enough to pay for the current period's expenditures and therefore are deferred in the funds. 93,671
Certain revenues are recognized as soon as earned. Under the modified accrual
basis of accounting certain revenues cannot be recognized until they are available
to liquidate liabilities of the current period.
Special assessments 164 714
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current
financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
Assets received from enterprise funds
Compensated absences and OPEB liability (94,417)
Change in net assets -governmental activities $ 2,080,708

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Prior Lake, Minnesota (the City), operates under "Optional Plan B" as defined in the State of Minnesota
statutes. Under this plan, the government of the City is directed by a Council composed of an elected Mayor and
four elected Council members. The Council exercises legislative authority and determines all matters of policy.
The Council appoints personnel responsible for the proper administration of all affairs relating to the City. The City
has considered all potential units for which it is financially accountable, and other organizations for which the nature
and significance of their relationship with the City are such that exclusion would cause the City's financial
statements to be misleading or incomplete. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has set forth
criteria to be considered in determining financial accountability. These criteria include appointing a voting majority
of an organization's governing body, and (1) the ability of the primary government to impose its will on that
organization or (2) the potential for the organization to provide specific benefits to, or impose specific financial
burdens on the primary government. The City has the following component unit:
Blended Component Unit
The Prior Lake Economic Development Authority (EDA) was created pursuant to Minnesota statutes 469.090
through 469.108 to carry out economic and industrial development and redevelopment within the City in accordance
with policies established by the Council. The five-member Board of Directors consists of the full Council. The
EDA may not exercise any of the powers enumerated by the authorizing statutes without prior approval of the
Council. The EDA is reported as a blended special revenue fund. Separate financial statements are not issued for
this component unit.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of changes in net
assets) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City and its component units. For the most part,
the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally
are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which
rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segments are
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.

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -CONTINUED
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned
and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes
are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue
as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current fnancial resources measurement focus and
the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and
available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon
enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be
available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are
recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as
expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be
susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of
special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as
revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when
cash is received by the City.
Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal value, is
recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. On a modified accrual basis, revenue is recorded in
the year in which the resources are measurable and become available.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City receives value without directly giving equal value in return, include
property taxes, grants, entitlement and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in
the year for which the tax is levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements and donations is recognized in the year in
which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which
specify the year when the resources are required to be used or the year when use is first permitted, matching
requirements, in which the City must provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure
requirements, in which the resources are provided to the City on a reimbursement basis. On a modified accrual
basis, revenue from non-exchange transactions must also be available before it can be recognized.
Deferred revenue arises when assets are recognized before revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Grants
and entitlements received before eligibility requirements are met are also recorded as deferred revenue. On the
modified accrual basis, receivables that will not be collected within the available period have also been reported as
deferred revenue in the fund financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

CITY OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -CONTINUED
The City reports major governmental funds that are calculated based on these criteria:
1) Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental or enterprise
fund are at least 10 percent of the corresponding total (that is, total governmental or total enterprise funds),
and
2) Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental fund or
enterprise fund are at least 5 percent of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds
combined.
The following major governmental funds meet the criteria described above:
The General fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the City,
except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Debt Service fund accounts for the resources accumulated to provide repayment of the City's general
obligation debt.
The Construction fund accounts for the resources accumulated and payments made for City projects.
The Trunk Reserve fund accounts for the resources to complete capital project development.
The Water Storage fund accounts for the resources to construct a new water treatment plant.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Water and Sewer Utilities fund accounts for the activities of the water distribution system the City
maintains and for the activities of the City's sewage collection operations.
The Storm Water Utility fund accounts for the costs associated with the City's storm water system, which are
financed by the storm water surcharge, and insure that user charges are sufficient to pay for those costs.
The Transit Services fund accounts for the City's transit services.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are
followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that those standards do
not conflict with or contradict guidance of GASB. Governments also have the option of following subsequent
private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. The
City has elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from government-wide financial statements.
Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City's water and sewer function and various other functions
of the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the
various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or
privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contribution, 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -CONTINUED
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and
expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a
proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City enterprise funds are
charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and
services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this
definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use restricted
resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity
Deposits and Investments
The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, commercial paper,
government securities and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of
acquisition.
Cash balances from all funds are pooled and invested, to the extent available, in authorized investments.
Investments are reported at fair value. Earnings from such investments are allocated on the basis of applicable
participation by each of the funds.
Minnesota statutes authorize the City to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, commercial paper, corporate
bonds, repurchase agreements, the State Treasurer's Investment Pool and shares of investment companies registered
under the Federal Investment Company Act of 1940 whose only investments are obligations guaranteed by the
United States or its agencies.
The 4M Fund is a customized cash management and investment program for Minnesota public funds. Sponsored
and governed by the League of Minnesota Cities since 1987, the 4M Fund is a unique investment alternative
designed to address the daily and long term investment needs of Minnesota cities and other municipal entities.
Allowable under Minnesota statutes, the 4M Fund is comprised of top quality, rated investments.
Investments for the City are reported at fair value. Earnings on investments are allocated to the individual funds
based upon the average of month-end cash and investment balances.

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -CONTINUED
The City's investment policy contains the following restrictions:
Investment Instruments
The City may invest in any type of security allowed by Minnesota Statutes as maybe amended from time to time.
The City has chosen to limit its allowable investments to those instruments listed below:
1. Bonds, notes, certificates of indebtedness, treasury bills or other securities now or hereafter issued by the
United States of America, its agencies and allowable instrumentalities;
2. Interest bearing checking and savings accounts, or any other investments constituting direct obligations of
any bank;
3. Certificates of deposit with federally insured institutions that are collateralized or insured in excess of the
$100,000 provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit;
4. Money market accounts that are invested in above referenced government securities.
5. Commercial paper meeting the following requirements
a. The corporation must be organized in the United States.
b. The corporation's assets must exceed $500,000,000.
c. The obligations at the time of purchase must be rated at the highest classifications by at least two of the
four standard rating services (Standard and Poor's, Duff and Phelps, Moody's and Fitch Investors
Service).
d. The obligations cannot have a maturity longer than 270 days.
e. The total investment in any one corporation cannot exceed 10 percent of that corporation's outstanding
obligations.
f. The total investment in any one corporation cannot be more than $2 million.
6. Investments may be made only in those savings banks or savings and loan associations the shares, or

risk of loss resulting in over concentration in a specific maturity, issuer, or class of securities. Diversification
strategies shall be determined and revised periodically by the City Finance Director. The diversification shall
be as follows:
a) Up to 100 percent of 1., but not less than 10 percent.
b) Up to 90 percent of 2. and C.3.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -CONTINUED
Duration
It is the policy of the City to require that all investment maturities shall not extend beyond ten (10) years in
length. Subject to market conditions and cash flow requirements, it is desirable for the city's investments to be
laddered over time in an effort to reduce interest rate market risk.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable include amounts billed for services provided before year end. The City annually certifies
delinquent water and sewer accounts to the County for collection in the following year. Therefore, there has been no
allowance for doubtful accounts established.
Property Taxes
The Council annually adopts a tax levy and certifies it to the County in December for collection in the following
year. The County is responsible for collecting all property taxes for the City. These taxes attach an enforceable lien
on taxable property within the City on January 1 and are payable by the property owners in two installments. The
taxes are collected by the County Treasurer and tax settlements are made to the City during January, June and
December each year.
Taxes payable on homestead property, as defined by Minnesota statutes, were partially reduced by a market value
credit aid. The credit is paid to the City by the State of Minnesota (the State) in lieu of taxes levied against the
homestead property. The State remits this credit in two equal installments in October and December each year.
Delinquent taxes receivable include the past six years' uncollected taxes. Delinquent taxes have been offset by a
deferred revenue liability for delinquent taxes not received within 60 days after year end in the governmental fund
financial statements.
Special Assessments
Special assessments represent the financing for public improvements paid for by benefiting property owners. These
assessments are recorded as receivables upon certification to the County. Special assessments are recognized as
revenue when they are received in cash or within 60 days after year end. All governmental special assessments
receivable are offset by a deferred revenue liability in the governmental fund financial statements.
Interfund Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the
fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or
"advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances
between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds." Any residual balances outstanding between the
governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as
"internal balances."

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -CONTINUED
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks,
and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the
government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost
of more than $5,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of three years. Such assets are
recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are
recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
In the case of initial capitalization of general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by governmental activities) the
City chose to include items dating back to June 30, 1980. The City was able to estimate the historical cost for the
initial reporting of these assets through backtracking (i.e., estimating the current replacement cost of the
infrastructure to be capitalized and using an appropriate price-level index to deflate the cost to the acquisition year
or estimated acquisition year). As the City constructs or acquires capital assets each period, including infrastructure
assets, they are capitalized and reported at historical cost. The reported value excludes normal maintenance and
repairs which are essentially amounts spent in relation to capital assets that do not increase the capacity or efficiency
of the item or extend its useful life beyond the original estimate. In the case of donations the City values these
capital assets at the estimated fair value of the item at the date of its donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets'
lives are not capitalized.
Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the
capitalized value of the assets constructed.
Property, plant and equipment of the City, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following
estimated useful lives:
Useful Lives
Assets in Years
Land improvements 20
Machinery and equipment 5 - 30
Vehicles 5 - 10
Infrastructure 10 - 65

Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick leave. Upon
separation, unused vacation and 50 percent of sick pay are paid to the employee if employed longer than five years.
Exempt employees who retire at age 55 or over have their sick leave paid into a Retirement Health Savings Plan
(HSA) according to the following schedule:
Years

15
Percentage

Vacation and sick leave are computed at year end. Accrued vacation and sick leave totaled $942,861 at year end.
Vacation and sick pay are accrued when incurred in proprietary funds and reported as long-term liabilities. The total
liability in the enterprise fund is $156,812. Vacation and sick pay of the governmental funds totaled $786;049 at
year end. The City has provided funding for these obligations with the severance compensation fund at a currently
computed level of 40 percent.
Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term
debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-
type activities or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Beginning January 1, 2003, bond premiums and
discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line
method in the government-wide and proprietary financial statements. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred
charges and amortized over the term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognized bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond
issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources.
Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are
reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are
reported as debt service expenditures.
Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for amounts that are not
available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Designations of
fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change.
Net Assets
Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets are displayed in three components:
a. Invested in capital assets, net of related debt -Consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation
reduced by any outstanding debt attributable to acquire capital assets.
b. Restricted net assets -Consist of net assets restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use
through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, laws or regulations of other governments.
c. Unrestricted net assets -All other net assets that do not meet the definition of "restricted" or "invested in
capital assets, net of related debt".

Comparative Data/Reclassifications
Comparative total data for the prior year have been presented only for individual enterprise funds in the fund
financial statements in order to provide an understanding of the changes in the financial position and operations of
these funds. Also, certain amounts presented in the prior year data have been reclassified in order to be consistent
with the current year's presentation.
Note 2: STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. Budgetary Information
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America for the General fund. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end. The City does not use
encumbrance accounting.
In June of each year, all departments of the City submit requests for appropriations to the Finance Director so that a
budget may be prepared. Before September 15th, the proposed budget is presented to the Council for review. The
Council holds public hearings and a final budget is prepared and adopted in early December.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. The City's department heads may make
transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers of appropriations between departments require the
approval of the City Manager. The legal level of budgetary control is the fund level. There were no budget
amendments during the year.

Note 3: DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS
A. Deposits and Investments
Custodial credit risk for deposits and investments is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City's deposits
and investments may not be returned or the City will not be able to recover collateral securities in the possession of
an outside party. In accordance with Minnesota statutes and as authorized by the Council, the City maintains
deposits at those depository banks, all of which are members of the Federal Reserve System.
Minnesota statutes require that all City deposits be protected by insurance, surety bond or collateral. The market
value of collateral pledged must equal 110 percent of the deposits not covered by insurance or bonds.
Authorized collateral in lieu of a corporate surety bond includes:
• United States government Treasury bills, Treasury notes, Treasury bonds;
• Issues of United States government agencies and instrumentalities as quoted by a recognized industry
quotation service available to the government entity;
• General obligation securities of any state or local government with taxing powers which is rate "A" or better
by a national bond rating service, or revenue obligation securities of any state or local government with taxing
powers which is rated "AA" or better by a national bond rating service;
• General obligation securities of a local government with taxing powers may be pledged as collateral against
funds deposited by that same local government entity;
• Irrevocable standby letters of credit issued by Federal Home Loan Banks to a municipality accompanied by
written evidence that the bank's public debt is rated "AA" or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or
Standard & Poor's Corporation; and
• Time deposits that are fully insured by any federal agency.
Minnesota statutes require that all collateral shall be placed in safekeeping in a restricted account at a Federal
Reserve Bank, or in an account at a trust department of a commercial bank or other financial institution that is not
owned or controlled by the financial institution furnishing the collateral. The selection should be approved by the
government entity.
At year end, the City's carrying amount of deposits was $999,450 and the bank balance was $1,805,797. The bank
balance was covered by federal depository insurance totaling $250,000. The remaining balance of $1,555,797 was
collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution's trust department or agent in the City's name.

A. Plan Description
$ 10,944,834
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City are covered by defined benefit plans administered by the
Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). PERA administers the Public Employees
Retirement Fund (PEKE) and the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF), which are cost-sharing, multiple-
employer retirement plans. These plans are established and administered in accordance with Minnesota statutes,
chapters 353 and 356.
PERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated Plan members are covered by
Social Security and Basic Plan members are not. All new members must participate in the Coordinated Plan. All
police officers, fire-fighters and peace officers who qualify for membership by statute are covered by the PEPFF.
PERA provides retirement benefits as well as disability benefits to members, and benefits to survivors upon death of
eligible members. Benefits are established by State statute, and vest after three years of credited service. The
defined retirement 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.

CITY OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008
Note 4: DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS -STATEWIDE -CONTINUED
Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERA's Coordinated and Basic Plan members. The retiring member
receives the higher of 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 percent of average salary for each of the first 10
years of service and 2.7 percent 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 10 years and 1.7 percent for each remaining year. Under Method
2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.7 percent of average salary for Basic Plan members and 1.7 percent for Coordinated
Plan members for each year of service. For PEPFF members, the annuity accrual rate is 3.0 percent for each year of
service. For all PEPFF members and PERF members hired prior to July 1, 1989 whose annuity is calculated using
Method 1, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equa190. Normal retirement age is 55 for
PEPFF members and 65 for Basic and Coordinated members hired prior to July 1, 1989. Normal retirement age is
the age for unreduced Social Security benefits capped at 66 for Coordinated members hired on or after July 1, 1989.
A reduced retirement annuity is also available to eligible members seeking early retirement.
There are different types of annuities available to members upon retirement. A single-life annuity is a lifetime
annuity that ceases upon death of the retiree--no survivor annuity is payable. There are also various types of joint
and survivor annuity options available which will be payable over joint lives. Members may also leave their
contributions in the fund upon termination of public service, in order to qualify for a deferred annuity at retirement
age. Refunds of contributions are available at any time to members who leave public service, but before retirement
benefits begin.
The benefit provisions stated in the previous 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.
PERA issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary
information for PERF and PEPFF. That report may be obtained on the Internet at www.mnpera.org, by writing to
PERA, 60 Empire Drive #200, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55103-2088 or by calling (651) 296-7460 or 1-800-652-9026.
B. Funding Policy
Minnesota statutes, chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. These statutes are
established and amended by the State legislature. The City makes annual contributions to the pension plans equal to
the amount required by Minnesota statutes. PERF Basic Plan members and Coordinated Plan members were
required to contribute 9.10 percent and 6.0 percent, respectively, of their annual covered salary in 2008. PEPFF
members were required to contribute 8.6 percent of their annual covered salary in 2008. That rate will increase to
9.4 percent in 2009. The City is required to contribute the following percentages of annual covered payroll: 11.78
percent for Basic Plan PERF members, 6.5 percent for Coordinated Plan PERF members and 12.9 percent for
PEPFF members. Employer contribution rates for the Coordinated Plan and PEPFF will increase to 6.75 percent
and 14.1 percent, respectively, effective January 1, 2009. The City's contributions to the PERF for the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 were $239,181, $201,251, and $160,106, respectively. The City's contributions
to the PEPFF for the years ending December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 were $230,692, $215,801, and $212,856,
respectively. The City's contributions were equal to the contractually required contributions for each year as set by
Minnesota statute.

The City of Prior Lake administers asingle-employer defined benefit healthcare plan ("the Retiree Health Plan").
The plan provides lifetime healthcare insurance for eligible retirees and their spouses through the City's group health
insurance plan, which covers both active and retired members. Benefit provisions are established through
negotiations between the City and the union representing City employees and are renegotiated each three-year
bargaining period. The Retiree Health Plan does not issue a publicly available fmancial report.
B. Funding Policy
Contribution requirements also are negotiated between the City and union representatives. The City contributes none
of the cost of current-year premiums for eligible retired plan members and their spouses. For fiscal year 2008, the
City contributed $0 to the plan. Plan members receiving benefits contribute 100 percent of their premium costs. In
fiscal year 2008, total member contributions were $1,745.

C. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The City's annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required
contribution of the employer (ARC). The City has elected to calculate the ARC and related information using the
alternative measurement method permitted by GASB Statement 45 for employers in plans with fewer than one
hundred total plan members. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to
cover normal cost each year and to amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not
to exceed thirty years. The following table shows the components of the City's annual OPEB cost for the year, the
amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the City's net OPEB obligation to the Retiree Health Plan:
Annual required contribution $ 20,382
Interest on net OPEB obligation -

D. Funded Status and Funding Progress
As of December 31, 2008, the actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $149,741, all of which was unfunded. The
covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $546,318, and the ratio of the
unfunded actuarial accrued liability to the covered payroll was 27.4 percent.
The projection of future benefit payments for an ongoing plan involves 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 the healthcare cost trend. 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 multi-year
trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to
the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.

Note 6: POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS -CONTINUED
E. Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for fmancial 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 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.
The following simplifying assumptions were made:
Retirement age for active employees -Based on the historical average retirement age for the covered group, active
plan members were assumed to retire at age 60, or at the first subsequent year in which the member would qualify
for benefits.
Marital status -Marital status of members at the calculation date was assumed to continue throughout retirement.
Mortality -Life expectancies were based on mortality tables from the National Center for Health Statistics. The
2004 United States Life Tables for Males and for Females were used.
Turnover -Non-group-specific age-based turnover data from GASB Statement 45 were used as the basis for
assigning active members a probability of remaining employed until the assumed retirement age and for developing
an expected future working lifetime assumption for purposes of allocating to periods the present value of total
benefits to be paid.
Healthcare cost trend rate -The expected rate of increase in healthcare insurance premiums was based on
projections of the Office of the Actuary at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. A rate of 7.0 percent
initially, reduced to an ultimate rate of 6.0 percent after six years, was used.
Health insurance premiums - 2008 health insurance premiums for retirees were used as the basis for calculation of
the present value of total benefits to be paid.
Inflation rate -The expected long-term inflation assumption of 3.3 percent was based on projected changes in the
Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) in The 2007 Annual Report of the
Board of Trustees of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance Trust Funds for an
intermediate growth scenario.
Payroll growth rate -The expected long-term payroll growth rate was assumed to equal the rate of inflation.
Based on the historical and expected returns of the City's short-term investment portfolio, a discount rate of 4.0
percent was used. In addition, a simplified version of the entry age actuarial cost method was used. The unfunded
actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on an open basis. The
remaining amortization period at December 31, 2008, was thirty years.

Note 9: OTHER INFORMATION
A. Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors and
omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters for which the City carries insurance. The City obtains
insurance through participation in the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT), which is a risk sharing
pool with approximately 800 other governmental units. The City pays an annual premium to LMCIT for its
workers compensation and property and casualty, auto and liability insurance. The LMCIT is self sustaining
through member premiums and will reinsure for claims above a prescribed dollar amount for each insurance event.
Settled claims have not exceeded the City's coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.
Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably
estimated. Liabilities, if any, include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNRs). The
City's management is not aware of any incurred but not reported claims.
B. Legal Debt Margin
The City's statutory debt limit is equal to three percent of estimated taxable market value of property located within
the City. The taxable market value totals $2,695,007,700, which calculates to a debt margin of $80,850,231. Debt
financed partially or entirely by special assessments is not applied against the City's debt limit, nor is debt financed
by proprietary fund revenues. Currently the City has $11,065,000 of general obligation debt outstanding leaving a
debt margin of $69,785,231

REPORT ON MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE
Honorable Mayor and Council
City of Prior Lake, Minnesota
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 Prior Lake, Minnesota (the City) as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2008, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated
April 11, 2009.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the
provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government, promulgated by the Minnesota Office of the
State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota statute, section 6.65. Accordingly, the audit included such tests of the accounting records
and such other auditing procedures, as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government covers seven main categories of compliance to be tested:
contracting and bidding, deposits and investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, claims and disbursements,
miscellaneous city provisions and tax increment financing. Our study included all of the listed categories.
The results of our tests indicate that for the items tested, the City complied with the material terms and conditions of applicable
legal provisions.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Council, management and the Minnesota Office of the State
Auditor and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
