<br />GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
<br />As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
<br />position. The City of Lino Lakes' assets exceeded liabilities by $92,300,600 at the close of the most
<br />recent fiscal year, an increase of $2,220,256 from the previous year. This increase is primarily due an
<br />advance in Municipal State Aid (MSA) construction funds. The City received an advance on this funding
<br />source equal to 5 years of the annual allocation to the City.
<br />By far the largest portion of the City of Lino Lakes' net position (55 %) reflects its net investment in capital
<br />assets (e.g. land, buildings, machinery, equipment, and infrastructure. The City of Lino Lakes uses these
<br />capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future
<br />spending. Although the City of Lino Lakes' investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt,
<br />it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources,
<br />since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
