BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION
DATE: May 22, 2023
TIME STARTED: 5:32 PM
TIME ENDED: 5:59 PM
MEMBERS PRESENT: Councilmembers Ruhland, Lyden, Stoesz,
Cavegn, and Mayor Rafferty
Staff members present: City Administrator Sarah Cotton; Clerk Jolleen Chaika.
Anoka County Assessor Staff present: Jason Dagostino, Residential Appraiser Supervisor, and
Shawn Halligan, Appraiser.
Councilmember Ruhland reconvened the meeting at 5:32 PM.
Anoka County Shawn Halligan and Jason Dagostino were present to update on residential
appeals.
- PID 28-31-22-32-0027: Mr Halligan stated that he was scheduled to meet with Ms. Jie
Sun on May 10, 2023 but Ms. Sun didn’t show; he called her and she said just to forget it.
He offered to reschedule but she declined. Without seeing the interior of the home, he
recommends no change.
Discussion was held related to the classification of lakes and how that translates to
property valuation. Mr. Dagostino explained how assessors at the county reviewed water
properties, that all water properties in the entire county have increased in value, and that
the Minnesota Department of Revenue required all counties increase on-water properties
this assessment period – had the county not done so, while allowing residents an
opportunity to appeal, the state would have.
Some further discussion was held on tax amount versus assessment amount. Mr.
Dagostino clarified that he and his staff do not assign tax amounts, they are only
responsible for valuation.
- PID 05-31-22-24-0010: Mr. Halligan reviewed his on-site meeting with Ms. Carol
Featherstone to further evaluate her property. He said that when he walked through her
property, the following improvements were noted: new hardie board siding, new
windows, fully remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. He noted that there were no permits
pulled for the kitchen or bathrooms. As Ms. Featherstone indicated concerns with other
recent sale prices when she made her appeal to the board on May 8, 2023, Mr. Halligan
reviewed those other sales. He found there were comparatively less square footage in
those sales and that one of the sales Ms. Featherstone had referenced was a family sale so
it closed at a much lesser sale price than current market value. He also advised the Board
that had there been permits pulled for the kitchen and bath projects, the proposed
2
LOCAL BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZTION
valuation would have been approximately $15,000 higher. He had recommended to the
Featherstone’s to leave the valuation where it was originally set; the Featherstone’s
agreed. No change is recommended.
The following two (2) properties were referenced at the May 8, 2023 meeting and the residents
had reserved their appeal rights:
- PID 19-31-22-21-0024: This property was further reviewed along with comparable sales:
the County was too high so the valuation was reduced. Mr. Halligan noted that the
resident was pleased with the outcome.
- PID 25-31-22-41-0026: This valuation had previously included a fireplace that was not
actually installed in the home. After a walk-through, the valuation was reduced and the
resident was pleased with the outcome.
1) Motion to: Accept Anoka County Assessor’s Report
2) Motion to: Adjourn
The meeting was adjourned at 5:59 PM.

Jolleen Chaika.
1. Text Amendment: Backyard Chickens.
City Planner Katie Larsen advised Council that the Planning and Zoning Board is interested in
pursuing a zoning text amendment to allow for chickens within residential neighborhoods; the
board is looking to see if there is Council support for such an action before staff is asked to begin
the work on a draft amendment.
Mayor Rafferty stated that chickens are already allowed in much of the city and does not feel it is
necessary to expand the areas where chickens are allowed; he is not interested in a change at this
time. Councilmember Stoesz concurred that he is not interested in any change at this time either.
Councilmembers Cavegn and Lyden noted that they would be open to further discussion on the
topic. Councilmember Ruhland would be open to consideration of an amendment if there is
community support, shown through a poll or petition but that at this time, he does not believe
there is support to move an amendment forward.
Planning and Zoning Board Chair Michael Root was present at the Work Session and addressed
Council. He advised that a neighbor of a board member had approached with the question of why
hens/chickens are not allowed on residential lots in the city so the member brought the question
to the board. The board voted in favor 6-1 of bringing Council the request to consider an
amendment.
3/5 Councilmembers were not in favor of further consideration of a zoning text amendment at
this time.
2. Review Regular Agenda
Items 3A: Human Resources Director Meg Sawyer briefly reviewed her forthcoming hiring
recommendation for a Parks Maintenance Worker; she noted that the recommended hire, Bryce
Shannon, has experience with Anoka County Parks.
Item 5A: City Engineer Diane Hankee reviewed the two quotes received for the trail project.
Councilmember Ruhland asked of the paving machine that was recently purchased by the city
COUNCIL MINUTES
and whether or not this could be used rather than contracting for the project. Public Services
Director Rick DeGardner stated that the machine would not be conducive to the sizable paving
project contemplated under the proposed contract.
Item 5B: Public Services Director Rick DeGardner briefly reviewed the recommendation to
approve the contract with PlayPower LT Farmington, Inc. for the park in the Watermark
development. Several community members were present and noted their support for the project
but asked that further consideration be given to rubberized ground covering. The community
members planned to further address Council at the regular meeting.
Item 6A: Community Development Director Michael Grochala briefly discussed his staff report
and noted that a purchase agreement has been reached with the property owners for the land to
be used for the new water treatment plant.
Items 6B: Community Development Director Michael Grochala highlighted the proposed
ordinance amendment outlined in his staff report. He noted that the purpose of the amendment is
to preserve water quality in the city by requiring storage requirements and standards for deicing
materials. Councilmember Stoesz asked if there would be any costs to the city once the
ordinance is implemented. Director Grochala stated that the city’s supply of salt is already stored
in accordance to the recommended methods so no expenses are anticipated.
Item 6C: City Engineer Diane Hankee briefly highlighted her staff report and noted that
approval of the resolution will result in additional designated miles of state aid roads which make
the city eligible for more state funding.
The Council Work Session ended at 6:18 PM.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Public Comment was opened at 6:33 PM.
Mr. Rick Wagner, 169 Glenview Avenue, addressed Council with concerns regarding his
membership at the Rookery. He said that when he signed up for his annual membership, he was
told that his grandchildren could join him at open swim on the weekends for free. Mr. Wagner
advised that he has brought his grandchildren with him to swim 15 times with no issues;
however, last Sunday when they arrived he was told he would need to pay $7 per child. He said
he spoke with the manager on duty who confirmed that there is no free admission but that each
member is granted four (4) guest passes so he was able to utilize that option last Sunday. He later
spoke with Lisa, the Rookery director, who told him that the rules state no free admission. He
asked Council for information about this as he feels he was misled. Mayor Rafferty asked Mr.
Wagner to provide his phone number to staff so that further follow-up could be conducted.
Mr. Fred Headwater, 8105 Diane Street. He inquired if the city was still considering an
apartment building in the vicinity of Lake Drive and Main Street. Mayor Rafferty advised that
developer considering the project has walked away from the concept at this time. Community
Development Director Michael Grochala also noted that the property remains for sale.
No further public comment was received and Public Comment was closed at 6:37 PM.

B) Consider Resolution No. 23-17, Approving Contract with PlayPower LT
Farmington, Inc. for Watermark Park Playground Equipment, Rick
DeGardner
Public Services Director Rick DeGardner reviewed his staff report and recommended
approval of Resolution 23-17, approval of a contract with PlayPower LT Farmington, Inc,
for the park at the Watermark Development. Director DeGardener noted that the funding
for this contract is from the parks fund.
Mayor Rafferty opened the floor for public comments related to the agenda item.
Mr. Matt Bekel, 7300 Watermark Way, addressed Council to state that he would like to
see expansion of rubber ground cover, especially to the swingset area to increase
accessiblity and inclusivity. He would also like to see ramps included on the play
equipment as well.
Ms. Britta Kleinwolterink, 7348 Crane Drive, said that she and her husband along with
their son, Levi, have lived in the Watermark neighborhood for one year. Levi is about to
turn two years old and has been diagnosed with ocular motor apraxia which effects the
way his eyes move. He has worked hard in phsycial therapy and is working on walking
but currently must use a walker. She said that she is here to advocate for her son and other
children with similar challenges or sensory sensitivities as her son cannot play on a
playground that does not have a rubber surface. She does not want to leave the city to
have to find a safe, inclusive place for her son to play.
Director DeGardner said that staff will be working with the company to see about
expansion of the rubber surface. He also recalled that in February a discussion was held
with Council regarding accessiblity and ADA standards; he said that this project exceeds
the ADA standards though he realizes this does not fully make it accessible and inclusive
for all children. He said that further discussions should be held regarding development of
a fully inclusive playground. With the number of neighborhood parks in the city, it
becomes a balance act with the budget. He said that to completely rubberize Watermark
Park, the cost would be $160,000-$180,000; typically playground structures for
neighborhood parks is in the $80,000-$90,000 range. He does feel that some significant
improvements have been made at Watermark Park.
Councilmember Stoesz noted that he would like the vendor to provide input into the color
of the rubberized mulch so that the product is one that doesn’t fade. Director DeGardner

noted that there is quite a bit of time before we get to that point but that they will get that
information.
Councilmember Lyden noted appreciation for staff and community members coming
together to have these conversations. He also said that often times the cost of doing
something right the first time for more money is a better investment.
The project is slated for spring of 2024.
i) Motion to: Approve Resolution 23-17
6. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT
A) Consider Resolution No. 23-43, Approving Agreement for the Acquisition of
Property – Water Treatment Plant
Community Development Director Michael Grochala presented his staff report and noted
that a purchase price has been agreed upon; execution of the purchase agreement is
underway and has been signed by property owners.
Mayor Rafferty thanked staff for the hard work on this project.
Councilmember Lyden inquired of the size of the land for this project. Director Grochala
noted that there is enough land for the plant with a little room for expansion and that this
plant and the land it is to be developed on will take care of water treatment plant needs
through 2040.
i) Motion to: Approve Resolution 23-43
B) Consider 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 02-23, Amending City Code Chapter
405 Regarding Bulk Deicing Material Storage
Community Development Director Michael Grochala presented the first reading of an
ordinance amendment proposal to include a provision related to bulk deicing material
storage and the reason for the proposed amendment. The MS4 Permit requires that this
provision is included in ordinance. This was brought forward back in December to begin

the conversation and the draft ordinance is step one to get this in place. This action

provision will be under Section 405, elicite discharge; any enforcement is typically a

TOPIC: Resolution 23-52 Approving the On-Sale/Sunday Sale
Liquor License Request for Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
BACKGROUND
Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes, a 55+ living community, is on track to open in July. An amenity to
residents of the community is an onsite restaurant and pub where they can enjoy meals and
drinks. As such, the board of directors at Lyngblomsten has applied for a full On-Sale
Intoxicating Liquor License and Sunday Sale license to accommodate the restaurant and patrons.
Lynblomsten’s restaurant/pub is eligible to apply for a liquor license as the onsite restaurant
meets the state definition of a restaurant in that it will be accessible by the public, though the
expectation is that it will predominantly be used by residents and their family members.
Lyngblmosten has submitted the requisite application, including site plan, insurance coverage
verification, and has also completed a background investigation. Staff has reviewed the
submitted application, the background investigations have been conducted, and applicant has
paid required fees. No disqualifying factors were identified for any of the applicants.
The full license application is on file in the Clerk’s Office and available for review.

CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 1J
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Hannah Lynch, Finance Director
MEETING DATE: June 12, 2023
TOPIC: Consider Not Waiving Monetary Limits on Municipal Tort
Liability Established by Minnesota Statute 466.04
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
As a part of the annual insurance renewal process, the City Council is being asked by the
League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust to update the Liability Coverage Waiver Form.
BACKGROUND
Each year, the City has the option of waiving its monetary limits on tort liability to the extent of
the coverage purchased. The decision to waive or not to waive the statutory limits has the
following effects:
If the city does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant would be able to
recover no more than $500,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total
which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort
limits apply would be limited to $1,500,000. These statutory tort limits would apply regardless
of whether or not the city purchases the optional excess liability coverage.
If the city does waive the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a
single claimant could potentially recover up to $2,000,000 on a single occurrence (under this
option, the tort cap liability limits are waived to the extent of the city’s liability coverage limits,
and the LMCIT per occurrence limit is $2,000,000). The total which all claimants would be
able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory limits apply would also be limited
to $2,000,000, regardless of the number of claimants.
If the city does waive the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single
claimant could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The
total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory
tort limits apply would also be limited to the amount of coverage purchased, regardless of the
number of claimants.
Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this
decision.
The city carries $1,000,000 in excess liability coverage ($1,000,000 per occurrence and annual
limit).
The City of Lino Lakes has never waived its’ monetary limits on tort liability.
RECOMMENDATION
The City does not wish to waive the monetary limits on municipal tort liability established by
Minnesota Statute, Section 466.04.

is eligible for consideration.
The application requires a resolution of support from the City. The preliminary request deadline

AGENDA ITEM 1N
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Sarah Cotton, City Administrator
MEETING DATE: June 12, 2023
TOPIC: Establishing Juneteenth as a Recognized City Holiday
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
The City Council is being asked to consider Resolution No. 23-57, Establishing Juneteenth as a
Recognized City Holiday.
BACKGROUND
June 19 is designated Juneteenth in recognition of the historical pronouncement of the abolition
of slavery on June 19, 1865, when the Emancipation Proclamation was said to have been read
publicly for the first time to Union Soldiers who were led by General Gordon Granger in Texas.
The announcement came 2.5 years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation
Proclamation. Juneteenth and emancipation celebrations have been commonplace in Minnesota
since 1889 as a result of community-based grassroots efforts.
A bill to establish Juneteenth as a state-recognized holiday was signed into law by Governor Tim
Walz in February 2023. The new law was set to go into effect on August 1, 2023; however, a
provision contained within the state and local government omnibus bill, changes the effective
date to make the new holiday effective June 19th of this year.
Per Minnesota State Statute, no public business shall be transacted on any holiday, except in
cases of necessity and except in cases of public business transacted by the legislature, nor shall
any civil process be served thereon.
Juneteenth is not yet recognized as an official City holiday, and to do so requires City Council
action.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 23-57, Establishing Juneteenth as a Recognized
City Holiday.
ATTACHMENTS
Resolution No. 23-57
CITY OF LINO LAKES

United States and is recognized annually on June 19th; and
WHEREAS, as of June 17, 2021, President Joseph Biden signed the Juneteenth National
Independence Day Act into law, making it a federal legal holiday; and
WHEREAS, Governor Tim Walz signed Senate File 13 amending Minnesota Statute 645.44,
Subdivision 5, Juneteenth as an official state holiday effective August 1, 2023; and
WHEREAS, a provision in HF1830, the state and local government omnibus bill, changed the
effective date to June of 2023, requiring that Juneteenth be observed in 2023; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statute 645.44, Subdivision 5, states that no public business shall be
transacted on any holiday, except in cases of necessity and except in cases of public business
transacted by the legislature, nor shall any civil process be served thereon; and

and

the Comptroller General of the United States. The auditors concluded that the City’s financial
statements presented fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City as of

certain laws, regulations, contracts, etc., our internal control structure, and management issues.
It should be noted that the City has received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States

Honorable Mayor
Members of the City Council
Citizens of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
Minnesota State law requires that cities over 2,500 population publish within six months of the close of
each fiscal year a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by a
firm of licensed certified public accountants and submit them to the State Auditor. Pursuant to that
requirement, we hereby issue the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Lino
Lakes, Minnesota for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City of Lino Lakes.
Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for 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 Lino Lakes 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 Lino Lakes’ financial statements in conformity with
GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City’s 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 Lino Lakes’ financial statements have been audited by Redpath and Company, Ltd., 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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, 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 an
unmodified opinion that the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, are
fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first
component of the financial section of this report.
GAAP require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview and analysis to accompany the
basic financial statements in the form of a 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 of
Lino Lakes’ MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.

Profile of the Government
The City of Lino Lakes, incorporated in 1955, is a growing community in the southeast corner of Anoka
County. It covers an area of 33 square miles and has a population of approximately 21,629. The population
has more than doubled from the 1990 census figure of 8,807 and has grown by 29% since 2000. Within the
City’s borders lies the 2,550 acre Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park. Access to St. Paul and
Minneapolis is provided by I-35W and I-35E.
The City Charter, as amended, establishes a mayor-council form of government and grants the City Council
full policy-making and legislative authority to the Mayor and four Council Members. 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 for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City. The City Council
is elected at-large on a non-partisan basis, with Council Members serving four-year terms and the Mayor
serving a two-year term. Elections are held every two years with two council seats and the Mayor being up
for election each election cycle.
The City provides a full range of municipal services. These services include: general government, public
safety (police, fire and building inspections), public works (street and fleet), culture and recreation (parks
and recreation), conservation of natural resources (environmental, solid waste abatement, forestry),
community development, public improvements, and providing and maintaining water, sewer, and storm
water infrastructure.
The annual budget is the foundation for the City of Lino Lakes’ financial planning and control. All
departments are required to submit appropriations requests to the City Administrator for review and
consolidation into a proposed budget. The City Administrator is responsible for submitting the proposed
annual budget to the City Council in August of each year. The City Council is required to hold a public
hearing on the proposed budget and to adopt by resolution a final budget and certify it no later than
December 30. The budget amounts cannot increase beyond the estimated receipts except to the extent that
actual receipts exceed the estimate. Department Directors may make transfers of appropriations within a
department, but transfers of appropriations between departments require council approval. Budget-to-actual
comparisons for the General Fund and The Rookery Activity Center Fund, the only funds for which an
annual budget has been adopted, are provided in Statements 10 and 11, respectively.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from
the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City of Lino Lakes operates.
Local economy. Commercial and industrial sectors remain strong with few vacancies and new commercial
projects underway on both the 35W and 35E Corridors. The 62 lot Nature’s Refuge project began home
construction in 2022 and the City’s largest residential development, the 864 lot Watermark project,
expanded into its fourth addition. Commercial interest continues to grow with the expansion of the Otter
Crossing and Belland Farms developments along the Main Street.
The 35E corridor also gained additional attention through a partnership with Anoka and Washington
Counties, neighboring cities, and Connexus Energy, to establish the Minnesota Technology Corridor. Over
1,000 acres are available along the corridor with strong transportation, fiber and utility infrastructure to
serve the growing data and tech fields.
4
Factors Affecting Financial Condition (Continued)
Overall, the City continued to see substantial development activity in 2022. The City issued building
permits for over 300 residential units including the Lyngblomsten and Northpoint Garden Estates senior
communities. Total building permit valuation was approximately $103 million. These represent both the
highest residential unit numbers in over 20 years and the highest new construction valuation on record.
Approximately $90 million was related to residential construction.
Long-term financial planning. The City’s current financial plan identifies capital equipment purchases
and building and infrastructure improvements totaling $107 million over the five-year period. These
improvements are anticipated to be funded through a number of funding sources, including tax levies,
special assessments, fund reserves, bond proceeds, and intergovernmental grants. The plan is currently
being revised to reflect the anticipated activity through fiscal year 2028.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awards the
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting (COA) to cities that meet certain criteria.
The City of Lino Lakes received this award for its ACFR for the year ended December 31, 2021. This marks
the twenty-seventh consecutive year the City has received this prestigious award. A governmental unit must
publish an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR, the contents of which conform to program
requirements. This report must satisfy both GAAP and applicable legal requirements.
The COA is valid for a period of one year. The City is submitting the 2022 report to GFOA for consideration
of the COA. We believe our current report continues to conform to the high standards of the program.
The timely preparation of this report could not have been accomplished without the dedicated services of
the Finance Department, auditors and other city staff. I want to express my appreciation to the Mayor and
City Council for their support for maintaining the highest standard of professionalism in the management
of the financial operation of the City.
Respectfully submitted,
Hannah Lynch

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
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 Lino Lakes, Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of Lino Lakes,
Minnesota's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
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 of Lino
Lakes, Minnesota, as of December 31, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position,
and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
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.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are
required to be independent of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota and to meet our other
ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our
audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinions.
13
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, and for 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.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are
conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City
of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond
the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise
substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor's report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance
but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards
will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial
likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by
a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and
Governmental Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the
audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota's
internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
14
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the
aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota's
ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain
internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.
Change in Accounting Principle
As described in Note 17 to the financial statements, the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
adopted new accounting guidance for the year ended December 31, 2022, Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 87, Leases. Our opinion is not modified with
respect to this matter.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management’s discussion and analysis, the budgetary comparison schedules, and the
schedules of OPEB and pension information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to
supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of
management and, 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.
15
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota's basic financial statements. The
combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are presented for
purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing
and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves,
and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund
financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other
information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic
financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial
statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form
of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other
information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to
be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected
material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our
report.
16
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
June 1, 2023, on our consideration of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’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
solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness
of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota's 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 of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s internal
control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As management of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota (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, 2022. We encourage readers to consider the
information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished
in our letter of transmittal, which can be found in the introductory section of this report.
Financial Highlights
The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $138,938,475 (net
position). Of this amount, $35,652,617 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the
City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors in accordance with the City's fund
designations and fiscal policies.
The City’s total net position increased by $4,094,495.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $33,545,198, a decrease of $382,128. Of this amount, $8,248,742 is
restricted by external constraints established by creditors, grantors, contributors, or by state
statutory provisions.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the general fund balance was $8,086,517. Unassigned
fund balance for the general fund was $7,509,721, or 66% of total general fund expenditures
and other financing uses.
Total outstanding debt decreased by $2,399,069 during 2022. No new debt was issued, while
regularly scheduled principal payments were made during the year.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is 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 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’s finances, in a manner similar
to a private-sector business.
19
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets and deferred
outflows of resources, and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference
between the two 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 is improving or
deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City’s 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 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,
conservation of natural resources, and community development. The business-type activities
of the City include water, sewer, and storm water utilities.
The government-wide financial statements are statements 1 and 2 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, 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
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 and outflows 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 government’s near-term financial 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 financial decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and
governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and change in fund balance provide a
reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental
activities.
20
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The City maintains seven individual major 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 balance for the following major funds:
General Fund
The Rookery Activity Center Fund – Special Revenue Fund
G.O. Improvement Note of 2009A – Debt Service Fund
G.O. Improvement Bonds of 2016B – Debt Service Fund
Building and Facilities – Capital Project Fund
Area and Unit Charge – Capital Project Fund
MSA Construction – Capital Project Fund
Data from the other 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 basic governmental fund financial statements are statements 3 through 6 of this report.
The City adopts annual appropriated budgets for the General Fund and The Rookery Activity
Center Fund. Budgetary comparison schedules are presented as statements 10 and 11 of this
report.
Proprietary funds. The City maintains three enterprise funds as a part of its proprietary
fund type. 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, sewer, and storm water utilities.
The proprietary fund statements 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, and Storm Water Funds, which are
considered to be major funds of the City.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements are statements 7 through 9 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 following statement 9.
Other information. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-
major governmental funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary
information. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules are presented as
statements 19 through 26.
21
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
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, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $138,938,475 at the close of the most recent
fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City’s net position ($93,084,896, or 67%) reflects its net
investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, equipment, and infrastructure) less any
related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. 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.

Governmental Activities Business-Type Activities Totals
Of the City’s net position, $10,200,962 represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position
($35,652,617) may be used to meet ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in all three
categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate
governmental and business-type activities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
Governmental Funds. The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information
on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $33,545,198. Approximately 25% of this total amount ($8,248,742)
constitutes fund balance restricted by external constraints established by creditors, grantors,
contributors, or by state statutory provisions. Of the remaining fund balance, $670,234 is not
in a spendable form, $313,065 has been committed, $19,492,211 has been assigned, and
$4,820,946 is unassigned.
The General fund balance decreased by $61,233. The decrease was a result of transfers out
and unrealized losses on investments. Transfers out funded capital equipment and comp plan
updates. Unrealized losses on investments overshadowed interest on investments due to
rising interest rates.
The Rookery Activity Center opened to the public in May 2022. Of the $2,884,961 of current
expenditures, $1,609,067 or 56% accounts for spending of Federal ARPA grant dollars to
reopen the former YMCA facility as a City facility. The Rookery fund balance decreased by
$324,097 in 2022 due to operating expenditures (personnel, maintenance supplies, utilities,
etc.) incurred while membership grew.
The G.O. Improvement Note of 2009A fund was established to service the debt issued by
Anoka County as the City’s financial commitment for the I-35E interchange project. The
City prepaid the remaining balance of the note in 2017 using MSA funds. As deferred
special assessments are received, MSA funds are replenished. The fund began and ended the
year with a fund balance of $141 and $1,353, respectively, and transferred $757,433 to the
MSA Construction fund.
The G.O. Improvement Bonds of 2016B fund balance increased by $130,779. The 2016B
series bonds were issued to refund the 2005A series bonds and fund the Legacy at Woods
Edge improvements. The bonds matured in 2021 and future tax increment is expected to
cover the interfund loan payable.
The Building and Facilities fund has a total fund balance of $2,717,074, all of which is
assigned for financing future facility maintenance and improvements. The fund balance
increased by $117,058 due to lease revenues in excess of expenditures. The fund accounts for
cellular tower antenna and ambulance lease revenues. Future tax increment is expected to
cover the interfund loan receivable.
The Area and Unit Charge fund has a total fund balance of $9,059,894, all of which is
assigned for financing capital improvements. The fund balance during the current year
decreased by $600,036 due to Hodgson Road/County Road J Lift Station project costs.
26
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The MSA Construction fund has a total fund balance of $3,819,453, all of which is assigned
to capital improvements for City MSA designated roadways. The fund balance during the
current year increased by $684,606 primarily due to Municipal State Aid received.
The combined fund balance of other governmental funds decreased by $330,417 during
2022. Primary reason for the decrease is unrealized losses on investments.
Proprietary funds. The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information
found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.
The Water Fund has total net position at year-end of $32,657,480, of which $4,834,564 is
unrestricted. The increase in net position of $1,199,257 was primarily due to capital
contributions from private sources as a result of residential development.
The Sewer Fund has total net position at year-end of $31,454,327 of which $9,484,680 is
unrestricted. The increase in net position of $2,920,932 was primarily due to capital
contributions from private sources as a result of residential development.
The Storm Water Fund has total net position at year-end of $255,159 of which all is
unrestricted. A Storm Water Utility was established in 2022 to fund the operation and
management of the City’s storm water infrastructure.
Budgetary Highlights
General Fund
There were amendments to the original budget in 2022. The expenditure and transfers out
budget was decreased by $101,113 to total $11,563,649. Amendments to the budget resulted
in a budgeted use of reserves of $398,887, in which the use of $500,000 of reserves was
included in the original budget.
Revenues were $197,504 over budget for the year primarily due to less than anticipated
unrealized losses on investments. Expenditures came in under budget by $140,150 primarily
due to lower than expected personal services costs mostly driven by vacant positions.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assets. The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-
type activities as of December 31, 2022, amounted to $113,064,408 (net of accumulated
depreciation), an increase of $8,370,137 from the prior year. This investment in capital
assets includes land, wetland credits, construction in progress, buildings, equipment,
vehicles, and infrastructure.
27
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The 2021 Street Reconstruction Project, drainage improvements in the NE Area of the city,
hard court facility at Tower Park, and Woods of Baldwin Lake park improvements were
completed. The city has continued to work to complete trunk utility improvements at 49&J,
East Shadow Lake Drive sanitary sewer replacement, and I35E storm pipe crossing.
Developer lead infrastructure improvements at various stages of completion include Belland
Farms, Lyngblomsten, Nature’s Refuge, Otter Crossing, and Watermark 2nd, 3rd, and 4th
additions.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES,Statement 6
EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE OF
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
For The Year Ended December 31, 2022
Net change in fund balance - total governmental funds (Statement 5) ($382,128)
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:
Capital outlay 3,582,771
Capital outlay not capitalized (460,779)
Depreciation (3,553,374)
Various other transactions involving capital assets increase (decrease) net position on
the Statement of Activities, but are not reported in governmental funds because they
do not provide (or use) current financial resources:
Contributions of infrastructure from private sources 4,307,265
Contributions of infrastructure to business-type activities (1,639,217)
Miscellaneous other differences related to capital assets (93,076)
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial resources
are not reported as revenues in the funds:
Change in delinquent taxes receivable (1,019)
Change in delinquent special assessments receivable (9,977)
Change in deferred special assessments receivable (4,218,260)
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds,
while repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources.
Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds
report the effects of bond premiums and discounts when the debt is first issued, whereas
amounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the debt in the Statement of Activities.
Repayment of principal 2,324,360
Amortization of bond premiums and discounts 74,709
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. Expenses reported in the Statement of Activities include the effects of the
changes in these expense accruals as follows:
Change in accrued interest payable 25,120
Change in compensated absences payable 66,720
Change in OPEB liability and related deferred outflows and inflows of resources 4,780
Pension expense in governmental funds is measured by current year employer contributions.
Pension expense in the Statement of Activities is measured by the change in the net pension
liability and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources. This is the amount by which
pension expense differed from pension contributions. (363,905)
Change in net position of governmental activities (Statement 2) ($336,010)

CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022
Note 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota (the City) is a public corporation formed under Minnesota Statute 410. As
such, the City is under home rule charter regulations and applicable statutory guidelines.
The basic financial statements of the City have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles as applied to governmental units by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
A. FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY
In accordance with GASB pronouncements and accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, the financial statements of the reporting entity include those of the City (the primary
government) and its component units. The component units discussed below are included in the City’s
reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships with the City.
COMPONENT UNITS
In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the
financial statements of the component units have been included in the financial report as blended
component units.
The Economic Development Authority (EDA) of Lino Lakes is an entity legally separate from the
City. However, for financial reporting purposes, the EDA is reported as if it were a part of the
City’s operation because the governing body is substantially the same as the governing body of the
City and a financial benefit or burden relationship exists between the City and the EDA. The EDA
does not issue separate financial statements. The Housing and Development Authority (HRA) of
Lino Lakes is an entity legally separate from the City. However, for financial reporting purposes,
the HRA is reported as if it were part of the City’s operations because the members of the City
Council serve as commission members and a financial benefit or burden relationship exists between
the City and the HRA. The HRA has not yet incurred any financial activity.
B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of
Activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government and its
component units. 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
business-type activity are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or business-type activity. 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 business-type activity and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted
to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or business-type activity.
Taxes and other items not included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
The fund financial statements are provided for governmental and proprietary funds. The emphasis of
governmental and proprietary fund financial statements is on major individual governmental and
enterprise funds, with each displayed as separate columns in the fund financial statements. All
remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.
47
CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions
associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party
receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and
investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or incidental activities.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the
general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Rookery Activity Center accounts for the activities relating to The Rookery Activity Center.
General Obligation Improvement Note of 2009A Fund accounts for the accumulation of resources
for, and the payment of, interest, principal and related costs on general long-term debt. The note
was used to finance improvement projects at the I-35E and County Road 14 interchange.
General Obligation Improvement Bonds of 2016B Fund accounts for the accumulation of resources
for, and the payment of, interest, principal and related costs on general long-term debt. The bonds
were used to fund the Legacy at Woods Edge improvements.
Building and Facilities Fund accounts for the activities associated with the maintenance and
replacement of municipal buildings and facilities.
Area and Unit Charge Fund accounts for the collection of water and sewer unit charges to be used
for debt payments and construction of governmental infrastructure.
MSA Construction Fund accounts for the financing of future reconstruction of state aid eligible
streets.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Water Fund accounts for customer water service charges which are used to finance water
system operating expenses.
The Sewer Fund accounts for customer sewer service charges which are used to finance sanitary
sewer system operating expenses.
The Storm Water Fund accounts for customer storm water charges which are used to finance storm
water system operating expenses.
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
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.
48
CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the
current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the
City considers all revenues, except reimbursement grants, to be available if they are collected within 60
days of the end of the current fiscal period. Reimbursement grants are considered available if they are
collected within one year 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, special assessments, intergovernmental revenues, charges for services 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.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are transactions that would be treated as revenues,
expenditures or expenses if they involved external organizations, such as buying goods and services or
payments in lieu of taxes, are similarly treated when they involve other funds of the City. Elimination
of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions
concerned.
Proprietary Funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in
connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of
the water and sewer 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.
D. BUDGETS
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for the General Fund and the Rookery
Activity Center special revenue fund. Budgeted expenditure appropriations lapse at year-end.
Budgeted amounts are reported as originally adopted and as amended by the City Council.
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the
expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the appropriation, is not employed
by the City because it is at present not considered necessary to assure effective budgetary control or to
facilitate effective cash management.
49
CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022
E. LEGAL COMPLIANCE – BUDGETS
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
1. The City Administrator submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget (including the
General Fund and The Rookery Activity Center Fund) for the fiscal year commencing the
following January 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of
financing them.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. The budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution on a departmental basis and can
be expended by each department based upon detailed budget estimates for individual
expenditure accounts.
4. The City Administrator is authorized to transfer appropriations within any department budget.
Additional interdepartmental or interfund appropriations and deletions are or may be
authorized by the City Council with fund (contingency) reserves or additional revenues.
5. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for
the General Fund.
6. Legal debt obligation indentures determine the appropriation level and debt service tax levies
for the Debt Service Funds. Supplementary budgets are adopted for the Proprietary Funds to
determine and calculate user charges. These debt service and budget amounts represent
general obligation bond indenture provisions and net income for operation and capital
maintenance and are not reflected in the financial statements.
7. A capital improvement program is reviewed annually by the City Council for the Capital
Project 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.
8. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the department level unless
approved by the City Council. Therefore, the legal level of budgetary control is at the
department level (i.e. administration, community development, public safety, public services,
and other).
9. The City Council may authorize transfers of budgeted amounts between City funds.
F. CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Cash and investment balances from all funds are pooled and invested to the extent available in
authorized investments. Investment income is allocated to individual funds on the basis of the fund's
equity in the cash and investment pool.
Investments are stated at fair value, except for investments in external investment pools that meet
GASB 79 requirements, which are stated at amortized cost. Interest earnings are accrued at year-end.
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the proprietary funds consider all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All of the
cash and investments allocated to the proprietary fund types have original maturities of 90 days or less.
Therefore, the entire balance in such fund types is considered cash equivalents.
Permanently restricted cash and investments represents the principal and earnings portion of resources
received that must be retained in a permanent fund. Only earnings from these funds may be used for
purposes that support environmental maintenance and improvements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022
G. PROPERTY TAX REVENUE RECOGNITION
The City Council annually adopts a tax levy and certifies it to the County in December (levy/assessment
date) of each year for collection in the following year. The County is responsible for billing and
collecting all property taxes for itself, the City, the local School District and other taxing authorities.
Such taxes become a lien on January 1 and are recorded as receivables by the City at that date. Real
property taxes are payable (by property owners) on May 15 and October 15 of each calendar year.
Personal property taxes are payable by taxpayers on February 28 and June 30 of each year. These taxes
are collected by the County and remitted to the City on or before July 15 and December 15 of the same
year. Delinquent collections for November and December are received the following January. The City
has no ability to enforce payment of property taxes by property owners. The County possesses this
authority.
Within the government-wide financial statements, the City recognizes property tax revenue in the period
for which taxes were levied. Uncollectible property taxes are not material and have not been reported.
Within the governmental fund financial statements, the City recognizes property tax revenue when it
becomes both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. In practice,
current and delinquent taxes received by the City in July, December, and the following January are
recognized as revenue for the current year. Taxes collected by the county by December 31 (remitted to
the City the following January) are classified as due from county. Taxes not collected by the county by
December 31 are classified as delinquent taxes receivable. Delinquent taxes receivable are fully offset
by deferred inflows of resources because they are not available to finance current expenditures.
The City's property tax revenue includes payments from the Metropolitan Revenue Distribution (Fiscal
Disparities Formula) per State Statute 473F. This statute provides a means of spreading a portion of the
taxable valuation of commercial/industrial real property to various taxing authorities within the defined
metropolitan area. The valuation "shared" is a portion of commercial/industrial property valuation
growth since 1971.
H. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT REVENUE RECOGNITION
Special assessments are levied against benefited properties for the cost or a portion of the cost of special
assessment improvement projects in accordance with state statutes. These assessments are collectible
by the City over a term of years usually consistent with the term of the related bond issue. Collection of
annual installments (including interest) is handled by the County Auditor in the same manner as
property taxes. Property owners are allowed to (and often do) prepay future installments without
interest or prepayment penalties.
Once a special assessment roll is adopted, the amount attributed to each parcel is a lien upon that
property until full payment is made or the amount is determined to be excessive by the City Council or
court action. If special assessments are allowed to go delinquent, the property is subject to tax forfeit
sale and the first proceeds of that sale (after costs, penalties and expenses of sale) are remitted to the
City in payment of delinquent special assessments. Generally, the City will collect the full amount of
its special assessments not adjusted by City Council or court action. Pursuant to state statutes, a
property shall be subject to a tax forfeit sale after three years unless it is homesteaded, agricultural or
seasonal recreational land in which event the property is subject to such sale after five years.
Within the government-wide financial statements, the City recognizes special assessment revenue in the
period that the assessment roll was adopted by the City Council. Uncollectible special assessments are
not material and have not been reported.

CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022
Within the fund financial statements, the revenue from special assessments is recognized by the City
when it becomes measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current fiscal period. In
practice, current and delinquent special assessments received by the City are recognized as revenue for
the current year. Special assessments are collected by the County and remitted by December 31
(remitted to the City the following January) and are also recognized as revenue for the current year. All
remaining delinquent, deferred and special deferred assessments receivable in governmental funds are
completely offset by deferred inflows of resources.
I. INVENTORY
For governmental funds, the original cost of materials and supplies are recorded as expenditures at the
time of purchase. These funds do not maintain material amounts of inventories.
Inventories of the proprietary funds are stated at cost, which approximates market, using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method.
J. PREPAID ITEMS
Certain prepayments 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.
K. LEASES RECEIVABLE
Leases receivable are measured at the present value of lease payments expected to be received during
the lease terms.
A deferred inflow of resources is recorded for the lease at the commencement of the lease in an amount
equal to the initial recording of the lease receivable and is recognized as revenue over the lease term.
L. INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods
provided or services rendered. Interfund services provided and used are accounted for as revenues,
expenditures or expenses. Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures /
expenses initially made from it that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as
expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund
that is reimbursed.
The City provides temporary advances to funds that have insufficient cash balances by means of an
advance from another fund. Such advances are classified as “advances to/from other funds.” Long-
term interfund loans are classified as “interfund loan receivable/payable.” Any residual balances
outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the
government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.” All other interfund transactions are
reported as transfers.

M. CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g. roads, sidewalks,
drainage systems, water and sewer systems, 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 estimated useful life in excess of one year, which have
an individual value equal to or greater than the capitalization thresholds for each asset class as follows:
Land $10,000
Buildings and building improvements $50,000
Improvements other than buildings (land improvements) $25,000
Machinery and equipment $10,000
Infrastructure and other improvements $100,000
Other assets $10,000
Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed.
Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation. All existing City
infrastructure has been capitalized regardless of date placed in service.
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. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are
capitalized as projects are constructed.
Depreciation on exhaustible assets is recorded as an allocated expense in the Statement of Activities
with accumulated depreciation reflected in the Statement of Net Position. Capital assets are depreciated
using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Since surplus assets are sold for an
immaterial amount when declared as no longer needed for City purposes, no salvage value is taken into
consideration for depreciation purposes. Useful lives vary from 5 to 40 years for buildings, office
furniture and equipment, vehicles, machine shop and equipment and other assets, and 15 to 50 years for
infrastructure and other improvements.
N. COMPENSATED ABSENCES
It is the City’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation, PTO (Personal
Time Off), extended leave and sick pay benefits. All vacation pay and PTO and the portion of sick pay
allowable as severance is accrued in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements.
The current portion is calculated based on historical trends.
O. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements,
long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental
activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type Statement of Net Position. Bond premiums
and discounts are amortized over the life of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts
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.

P. DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows and inflows of resources, and
pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees Retirement
Association (PERA) and additions to and 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.
Q. DEFERRED OUTFLOWS AND INFLOWS OF RESOURCES
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position reports a separate section for deferred outflows
of resources. This separate financial statement element represents a consumption of net assets that
applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until that
time. The City has two items that qualify for reporting in this category. Pension related deferred
outflows of resources are reported in the government-wide statement of net position and the proprietary
funds statement of net position. OPEB related deferred outflows of resources are only reported in the
governmental activities column of the government-wide statement of net position as amounts applicable
to business-type activities are immaterial.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position reports a separate section for deferred
inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents an acquisition of net assets
that applies to future periods, and therefore, will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue)
until that time. Lease related deferred inflows of resources are reported in the government-wide
statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet. Pension related deferred inflows of
resources are reported in the government-wide statement of net position and the proprietary funds
statement of net position. OPEB related deferred inflows of resources are only reported in the
governmental activities column of the government-wide statement of net position as amounts applicable
to business-type activities are immaterial. The City also has a type of item, which arises only 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 revenue from the following sources: property taxes and special assessments
not collected within 60 days from year-end.
R. FUND BALANCE CLASSIFICATIONS
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance in classifications that disclose
constraints for which amounts in those funds can be spent. These classifications are as follows:
Nonspendable - consists of amounts that are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items and
corpus of any permanent fund.
Restricted - consists of amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by creditors,
grantors or contributors; or constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
Committed - consists of internally imposed constraints. These constraints are established by a
resolution approved by the City Council, and committed amounts cannot be used for any other
purpose unless the City Council removes or changes the specified use by resolution.
54
CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022
Assigned - consists of internally imposed constraints for the specific purpose of the City’s intended
use. These constraints are established by the City Council and/or management. The City Council
passed a resolution authorizing the Finance Director to assign fund balances and their intended
uses.
Unassigned - is the residual classification for the general fund. The general fund is the only fund
that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds, if
expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed or
assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that
fund.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to first use
restricted resources, and then use unrestricted resources as they are needed. When committed, assigned
or unassigned resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use resources in the following
order: 1) committed 2) assigned and 3) unassigned.
The City formally adopted a fund balances policy for the general fund. The policy establishes an
unassigned fund balance range of 40% - 50% of general fund operating expenditures.
S. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) requires management to make estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
Note 2 DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
A. DEPOSITS
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, the City maintains deposits at those depository banks authorized
by the City Council. All such banks are members of the Federal Reserve System.
Minnesota Statutes require that insurance, surety bonds or collateral protect all City deposits. The
market value of collateral pledged must equal 110% of deposits not covered by insurance or bonds.
Securities pledged as collateral are required to be held in safekeeping by the City or in a financial
institution other than that furnishing the collateral. Minnesota Statue 118A.03 identifies allowable
forms of collateral.
Custodial Credit Risk – the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposits may not be
returned to it. The City has no additional deposit policies addressing custodial credit risk.
At December 31, 2022, the bank balance of the City’s deposits with financial institutions was
$9,234,256 and the carrying amount was $8,963,723. All deposits were covered by federal depository
insurance or by collateral pledge and held in the City’s name.
B. INVESTMENTS
Subject to rating, yield, maturity and issuer requirements as prescribed by statute, Minnesota Statutes
118A.04 and 118A.05 authorize the City to invest in United States securities, state and local securities,
commercial paper, time deposits, temporary general obligation bonds, repurchase agreements,
Minnesota joint powers investment trusts and guaranteed investment contracts.

accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy Note is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the
fair value of the asset. The hierarchy has three levels. Level 1 investments are valued using inputs that
are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 investments are valued using
inputs that are based on quoted prices for similar assets or inputs that are observable, either directly or
indirectly. Level 3 investments are valued using inputs that are unobservable.

Fair Value Measurement Using
The 4M fund is an external investment pool investment which is regulated by Minnesota Statutes and
the Board of Directors of the League of Minnesota Cities. It is an unrated pool and the fair value of the
position in the pool is the same as the value of pool shares. The pool is managed to maintain a portfolio
weighted average maturity of no greater than 60 days and seeks to maintain a constant net asset value
(NAV) of $1 per share. The pool measures its investments at amortized cost in accordance with GASB
Statement No. 79. The 4M Plus fund requires funds to be deposited for a minimum of 14 calendar days.
Withdrawals prior to the 14-day restriction period are subject to penalty equal to 7 days interest on the
amount withdrawn.
The First American Government Obligation money market fund is an external investment pool. The
fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value (NAV) of $1 per share. The securities held by the fund
are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Shares may be redeemed without penalty on any business
day.

C. INVESTMENT RISKS
Custodial Credit Risk – Investments – For investments in securities, custodial credit risk is the risk
that in the event of failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the City will not be able to recover
the value of its investment securities that are in the possession of an outside party. Investments in
investment pools and money markets are not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or book
entry form, and therefore are not subject to custodial credit risk disclosures. The City’s investment
policy requires its brokers be licensed with the appropriate federal and state agencies. A minimum
capital requirement of $5,000,000 and at least five years of operation is mandatory. Investments in
securities are held by the City’s broker-dealers. The securities at each broker-dealer are insured
$500,000 through SIPC. Each broker-dealer has provided additional protection by providing
additional insurance. This insurance is subject to aggregate limits applied to all of the broker-
dealer’s accounts.
Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect
the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the
sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. The City’s policy to minimize
interest rate risk includes investing primarily in short-term securities and structuring the investment
portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations.
Credit Risk – Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to
the holder of the investment. The City’s policy to minimize credit risk includes limiting investing
funds to those allowable under Minnesota Statute 118A, annually appointing all financial
institutions where investments are held, and diversifying the investment portfolio. This is measured
by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
Concentration of Credit Risk – Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss that may be attributed
to the magnitude of a government’s investment in a single issuer. The City places no limit on the
amount it may invest in any one issuer. At December 31, 2022, no individual investments
exceeded 5% of the City’s total investment portfolio.

The City leases a portion of its water towers for cellular tower antenna sites. These leases are non-
cancelable for a period of 5 years, with two to four renewal periods of 5 years each at the lessee's
option. The City considers the likelihood of these options being exercised to be greater than 50%. The
agreements call for monthly lease payments between $1,855 and $3,528, with increases of either 4%
annually or 7.5% upon exercising renewal options. The lease receivables are measured at the present
value of the future minimum lease payments expected to be received during the lease term at a discount
rate of 5% which is based on the rate available to finance equipment over the same time periods.
The City leases space within its City Hall Complex to New Creations Child Care and Learning Center.
The lease expires June 30, 2029, however, effective August 1, 2024 the City has the option to terminate
the lease with at least 12 months written notice. The City considers the likelihood of cancelling the
lease agreement to be less than 50%. The agreement calls for monthly lease payments of $6,785, with
annual increases of 3% through the end of the lease term. There are no renewal options stated in the
lease agreement. The lease receivable is measured at the present value of the future minimum lease
payments expected to be received during the lease term at a discount rate of 5% which is based on the
rate available to finance equipment over the same time periods.

from special assessments levied on the properties benefiting from the improvements. However, some issues are
partly financed by ad valorem levies.
Utility Revenue Bonds – the Bonds were issued to finance various improvements in the water fund and will be
repaid primarily from pledged revenues derived from the constructed assets.

DEFERRED AD VALOREM TAX LEVIES – BONDED DEBT
All long-term bonded indebtedness is backed by the full faith and credit of the City, including special assessment
and revenue bond issues. General Obligation bond issues are financed by ad valorem tax levies and special
assessment bond issues are partially financed by ad valorem tax levies in addition to special assessments levied
against the benefiting properties. When a bond issue to be financed partially or completely by ad valorem tax
levies is sold, specific annual amounts of such tax levies are stated in the bond resolution and the County Auditor
is notified and instructed to levy these taxes over the appropriate years. The future tax levies are subject to
cancellation when and if the City has provided alternative sources of financing. The City Council is required to
levy any additional taxes found necessary for full payment of principal and interest.

Note 7 DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS – PERA
A. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The City participates in the following cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans
administered by 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 (with the exception of employees covered by PEPFF) and certain part-time employees
of the City are covered by the General Employees Retirement Fund (GERF). GERF members
belong to the Coordinated Plan. Coordinated Plan members are covered by Social Security.
2. Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF)
The PEPFF, originally established for police officers and firefighters not covered by a local relief
association, now covers all police officers and firefighters hired since 1980. Effective July 1, 1999,
the PEPFF also covers police officers and firefighters belonging to local relief associations that
elected to merge with and transfer assets and administration to PERA.
B. BENEFITS PROVIDED
PERA provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are established by state
statute and can only be modified by the state legislature. 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 members. Members hired prior to July 1, 1989 receive the higher
of Method 1 or Method 2 formulas. Only Method 2 is used for members hired after June 30, 1989.
Under Method 1, the accrual rate for Coordinated members is 1.2% for each of the first ten years of
service and 1.7% for each additional year. Under Method 2, the accrual rate for Coordinated Plan
members is 1.7% for all years of service. For members hired prior to July 1, 1989 a full annuity is
available when age plus years of service equal 90 and normal retirement age is 65. For members
hired on or after July 1, 1989, normal retirement age is the age for unreduced Social Security
benefits capped at 66.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. The postretirement increase is
equal to 50% of the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) announced by the SSA, with a minimum
increase of at least 1% and a maximum of 1.5%. Recipients that have been receiving the annuity or
benefit for at least a full year as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase will receive
the full increase. For recipients receiving the annuity or benefit for at least one month but less than
a full year as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase will receive a reduced prorated
increase. For members retiring on January 1, 2024 or later, the increase will be delayed until
normal retirement age (age 65 if hired prior to July 1, 1989, or age 66 for individuals hired on or
65
CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022
after July 1, 1989). Members retiring under Rule of 90 are exempt from the delay to normal
retirement.
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 members who were first hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full annuity
is available when age plus years of service equal at least 90.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. The postretirement increase is
fixed at 1%. Recipients that have been receiving the annuity or benefit for at least 36 months as of
the June 30 before the effective date of the increase will receive the full increase. For recipients
receiving the annuity or benefit for at least 25 months but less than 36 months as of the June 30
before the effective date of the increase will receive a reduced prorated increase.
C. 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
Coordinated Plan members were required to contribute 6.5% of their annual covered salary in fiscal
year 2022 and the City was required to contribute 7.5% for Coordinated Plan members. The City’s
contributions to the GERF for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $272,865. The City’s
contributions were equal to the required contributions as set by state statute.
2. PEPFF Contributions
Police and Fire Plan members were required to contribute 11.80% of their annual covered salary in
fiscal year 2022 and the City was required to contribute 17.70% for Police and Fire Plan members.
The City’s contributions to the PEPFF for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $524,594. The
City’s contributions were equal to the required contributions as set by state statute.
D. PENSION COSTS
1. GERF Pension Costs
At December 31, 2022, the City reported a liability of $3,389,774 for its proportionate share of
GERF’s net pension liability. The City’s net pension liability reflected a reduction due to the State
of Minnesota’s contribution of $16 million. The State of Minnesota is considered a non-employer
contributing entity and the state’s contribution meets the definition of a special funding situation.
The State of Minnesota’s proportionate share of the net pension liability associated with the City
totaled $99,480.

The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2022, 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, 2021 through
June 30, 2022, relative to the total employer contributions received from all of PERA’s
participating employers. The City’s proportionate share was 0.0428% at the end of the
measurement period and 0.0391% for the beginning of the period.
City's proportionate share of the net pension liability $3,389,774

proportionate share of the GERF’s pension expense. In addition, the City recognized an additional
$14,865 as pension expense (and grant revenue) for its proportionate share of the State of
Minnesota’s contribution of $16 million to the GERF.
At December 31, 2022, the City reported its proportionate share of the GERF’s deferred outflows
of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

2. PEPFF Pension Costs
At December 31, 2022, the City reported a liability of $10,300,249 for its proportionate share of the
PEPFF’s net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2022 and the
total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial
valuation as of that date. The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability was based on
the City’s contributions received by PERA during the measurement period for employer payroll
paid dates from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, relative to the total employer contributions
received from all of PERA’s participating employers. The City’s proportionate share was 0.2367%
at the end of the measurement period and 0.2234% for the beginning of the period.
The State of Minnesota also contributed $18 million to PEPFF during the plan fiscal year ended
June 30, 2022. The contribution consisted of $9 million in direct state aid that meets the definition
of a special funding situation and $9 million in supplemental state aid that does not meet the
definition of a special funding situation. The direct state aid was paid on October 1, 2021.
Thereafter, by October 1 of each year, the state will pay $9 million to the PEPFF until full funding
is reached or July 1, 2048, whichever is earlier. The $9 million in supplemental state aid will
continue until the fund is 90% funded, or until the State Patrol Plan (administered by the Minnesota
State Retirement System) is 90% funded, whichever occurs later.
The State of Minnesota is included as a non-employer contributing entity in the PEPFF Schedule of
Employer Allocations and Schedule of Pension Amounts by Employer, Current Reporting Period
Only (pension allocation schedules) for the $9 million in direct state aid. PEPFF employers need to
recognize their proportionate share of the State of Minnesota’s pension expense (and grant revenue)
under GASB 68 special funding situation accounting and financial reporting requirements. For the
year ended December 31, 2022, the City recognized pension expense of $797,745 for its
proportionate share of the Police and Fire Plan’s pension expense. The City recognized an
additional $87,304 as pension expense (and grant revenue) for its proportionate share of the State of
Minnesota’s contribution of $9 million to the PEPFF.
The State of Minnesota is not included as a non-employer contributing entity in the Police and Fire
Pension Plan pension allocation schedules for the $9 million in supplemental state aid. The City
recognized $21,303 for the year ended December 31, 2022 as revenue and an offsetting reduction
of net pension liability for its proportionate share of the State of Minnesota’s on-behalf
contributions to the Police and Fire Fund.

E. ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2022 actuarial valuation was determined using an
individual entry-age normal actuarial cost method and the following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.25% per year
Investment Rate of Return 6.50%
The long-term investment rate of return is based on a review of inflation and investment return
assumptions from a number of national investment consulting firms. The review provided a range
of investment return rates deemed to be reasonable by the actuary. An investment return of 6.50%
was deemed to be within that range of reasonableness for financial reporting purposes.
Benefit increases after retirement are assumed to be 1.25% for the GERF. The PEPFF benefit
increase is fixed at 1.00% per year and that increase was used in the valuation.
69
CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022
Salary growth assumptions in the GERF range in annual increments from 10.25% after one year of
service to 3.0% after 27 years of service. In the PEPFF, salary growth assumptions range from
11.75% after one year of service to 3.0% after 24 years of service.
Mortality rates for GERF were based on the Pub-2010 General Employee Mortality Table.
Mortality rates for PEPFF were based on the Pub-2010 Public Safety Employee Mortality tables.
The tables are adjusted slightly to fit PERA’s experience.
Actuarial assumptions for GERF are reviewed every four years. The most recent four-year
experience study for GERF was completed in 2019. The assumption changes were adopted by the
Board and become effective with the July 1, 2020 actuarial valuation. The most recent four-year
experience study for PEPFF was completed in 2020 and adopted by the Board and became effective
with the July 1, 2021 actuarial valuation.
The following changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions occurred in 2022:
General Employees Fund
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions:
The mortality improvement scale was changed from Scale MP-2020 to Scale MP-2021.
Police and Fire Fund
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions:
The single discount rate was changed from 6.50% to 5.40%.
The mortality improvement scale was changed from Scale MP-2020 to Scale MP-2021.
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 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:
Target Long-Term Expected
Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return
Domestic equity 33.5% 5.10%
International equity 16.5% 5.30%
Fixed income 25.0% 0.75%
Private markets 25.0% 5.90%
Totals 100%

F. DISCOUNT RATE
The discount rate for the GERF used to measure the total pension liability in 2022 was 6.5%. The
projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan
members and employers will be made at rates set in Minnesota Statutes. Based on these assumptions,
the fiduciary net position of the GERF 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.
In the PEPFF, the fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future
benefit payments of current plan members through June 30, 2060. Beginning in fiscal year ended June
30, 2061, projected benefit payments exceed the funds' projected fiduciary net position. Benefit
payments projected after were discounted at the municipal bond rate of 3.69% (based on the weekly rate
closest to but not later than the measurement date of the Fidelity "20-Year Municipal GO AA Index").
The resulting equivalent single discount rate of 5.40% for the PEPFF was determined to give
approximately the same present value of projected benefits when applied to all years of projected
benefits as the present value of projected benefits using 6.5% applied to all years of projected benefits
through the point of asset depletion and 3.69% thereafter.

the plan. As of December 31, 2022, the plan covered 19 active firefighters and two vested terminated
fire fighters whose pension benefits are deferred. The plan is established and administered in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353G.
B. BENEFITS PROVIDED
The Volunteer Firefighter Plan provides retirement, death, and supplemental benefits to covered
firefighters and survivors. Benefits are paid based on the number of years of service multiplied by a
benefit level approved by the City. Members are eligible for a lump-sum retirement benefit at 50 years
of age with five years of service. Plan provisions include a pro-rated vesting schedule that increases
from 5 years at 40% through 20 years at 100%.
C. CONTRIBUTIONS
The Volunteer Firefighter Plan is funded by fire state aid, investment earnings and, if necessary,
employer contributions as specified in Minnesota Statutes, and voluntary City contributions. The State
of Minnesota contributed $147,799 in fire state aid to the plan for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Required employer contributions are calculated annually based on statutory provisions. The City’s
statutorily-required contributions to the Volunteer Firefighter Fund for the year ended December 31,
2022 were $0. The City’s contributions were equal to the required contributions as set by state statute,
if applicable.

E. ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS
The total pension liability at December 31, 2022, was determined using the entry age normal actuarial
cost method and the following actuarial assumptions:
Retirement eligibility at the later of age 50 or 20 years of service
Investment rate of return of 6.0%
Inflation rate of 3.0%
There were no changes in actuarial assumptions in 2022.
F. DISCOUNT RATE
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.0%. The projection of cash flows
used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions to the Volunteer Firefighter Fund will be
made as specified in statute. Based on that assumption and considering the funding ratio of the plan, the
fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of
current active and inactive members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan
investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension
liability.
G. PENSION LIABILITY SENSITIVITY
The following presents the City’s net pension asset for the Volunteer Firefighter Fund, calculated using
the assumed discount rate as well as what the City’s net pension asset would be if it were calculated
using a discount rate 1% lower or 1% higher than the current discount rate:

H. PLAN INVESTMENTS
1. Investment Policy
The Minnesota State Board of Investment (SBI) is established by Article XI of the Minnesota
Constitution to invest all state funds. Its membership as specified in the Constitution is comprised
of the governor (who is designated as chair of the board), state auditor, secretary of state and state
attorney general.
All investments undertaken by the SBI are governed by the prudent person rule and other standards
codified in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 11A and Chapter 353G.
Within the requirements defined by state law, the SBI, with assistance of the SBI staff and the
Investment Advisory Council, establishes investment policy for all funds under its control. These
investment policies are tailored to the particular needs of each fund and specify investment
objectives, risk tolerance, asset allocation, investment management structure and specific
performance standards. Studies guide the on-going management of the funds and are updated
periodically.
2. Asset Allocation
To match the long-term nature of the pension obligations, the SBI maintains a strategic asset
allocation for the Volunteer Firefighter Plan that includes allocations to domestic equity,
international equity, bonds and cash equivalents. The long-term target asset allocation and long-
term expected real rate of return is the following:
Target Long-Term Expected
Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return
Domestic Stocks 35% 5.10%
International Stocks 15% 5.30%
Bonds 45% 0.75%
Cash 5% 0.00%
100%
The 6% long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a
building-block method. Best estimates for expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net
of inflation) were developed for each asset class using both long-term historical returns and long-
term capital market expectations from a number of investment management and consulting
organizations. The asset class estimates and the target allocations were then combined to produce a
geometric, long-term expected real rate of return for the portfolio. Inflation expectations were
applied to derive the nominal rate of return for the portfolio.
3. Description of Significant Investment Policy Changes During the Year
The SBI made no significant changes to their investment policy during fiscal year 2022 for the
Volunteer Firefighter Fund.

I. PENSION PLAN FIDUCIARY NET POSITION
Detailed information about the Volunteer Firefighter Fund’s fiduciary net position as of June 30, 2022,
is available in a separately-issued PERA financial report that includes financial statements and required
supplementary information. That report may be obtained at www.mnpera.org.
Note 9 POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS (OPEB)
A. PLAN DESCRIPTION
In addition to providing the pension benefits described in Notes 7 and 8, the City provides post-
employment health care benefits, as defined in paragraph B, through its group health insurance plan (the
plan). The plan is a single-employer defined benefit OPEB plan administered by the City. The
authority to provide these benefits is established in Minnesota Statutes Sections 471.61 Subd. 2a and
299A.465. The benefits, benefit levels, employee contributions and employer contributions are
governed by the City and can be amended by the City through its personnel manual and collective
bargaining agreements with employee groups. No assets are accumulated in a trust that meets the
criteria in paragraph 4 of GASB Statement No. 75. The plan does not issue a stand-alone financial
report.
B. BENEFITS PROVIDED
The City is required by State Statute to allow retirees to continue participation in the City’s group health
insurance plan if the individual terminates service with the City through service retirement or disability
retirement. Active employees, who retire from the City when over age 50 and with 20 years of service,
may continue coverage with respect to both themselves and their eligible dependent(s) under the City’s
health benefits program until age 65.
The City provides health coverage for peace officers or firefighters disabled or killed in the line of duty
in accordance with Minnesota Statute 299A.465. The amount of coverage provided is equal to the
employer portion of health insurance premiums that would have otherwise been paid if the officer or
firefighter was an active employee.
All health care coverage is provided through the City’s group health insurance plans. The retiree is
required to pay 100% of their premium cost for the City-sponsored group health insurance plan in which
they participate. The premium is a blended rate determined on the entire active and retiree population.
Since the projected claims costs for retirees exceed the blended premium paid by retirees, the retirees
are receiving an implicit rate subsidy (benefit). The coverage levels are the same as those afforded to
active employees. Upon a retiree reaching age 65, Medicare becomes the primary insurer and the City’s
plan becomes secondary.
C. PARTICIPANTS
As of the January 1, 2021 actuarial valuation, participants of the plan consisted of:
Active employees 60
Inactive employees or beneficiaries
currently receiving benefits 3

Balance - end of year $463,737
The OPEB liability will be liquidated by the general, rookery activity center, water, sewer, and storm
water funds.
E. ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND OTHER INPUTS
The total OPEB liability in the January 1, 2021 actuarial valuation was determined using the following
actuarial assumptions and other inputs, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless
otherwise specified:
Inflation 3.00%
Salary increases 3.00%
Discount rate 4.31%
Investment rate of return N/A
Healthcare cost trend rates 6.00% for 2022, decreasing 0.25% per year
to an ultimate rate of 5% for 2026 and beyond
Retirees' share of benefit-related costs 100%
Since the plan is funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, both the discount rate and the investment rate of return
was based on the 20-year AA rated municipal bond rate as of December 31, 2022, obtained from
https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/indices/fixed-income/sp-municipal-bond-20-year-high-grade-rate-
index/#overview.
Pre-retirement mortality rates were based on the RP-2014 Total Dataset Mortality with Improvement
Scale MP-2020. Post-retirement, disability retirement, and survivor retirement mortality rates were
based on the RP-2014 White Collar Mortality with Improvement Scale MP-2020.
Based on past experience of the plan, 50% of future retirees are assumed to continue medical coverage
until age 65. 15% of future pre-Medicare retirees are assumed to select spousal coverage. No spousal
coverage is assumed for other future retirees. 25% of police/fire employees are assumed to retire at age
60, the balance at age 65. 8% of other City employees are assumed to retire at age 62, the balance at age
65.

grants. The disbursement of funds received under these programs generally requires compliance with
the terms and conditions specified in the grant agreements and is subject to audit by the grantor
agencies. Any disallowed claims resulting from such audits could become a liability of the applicable
fund. However, in the opinion of management, any such disallowed claims will not have a material
effect on any of the financial statements of the individual fund types included herein or on the overall
financial position of the City at December 31, 2022.

Note 16 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.
Workers compensation coverage is provided through a pooled self-insurance program through the League of
Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT). The City pays an annual premium to LMCIT. The City is subject to
supplemental assessments if deemed necessary by the LMCIT. The LMCIT reinsures through Workers
Compensation Reinsurance Association (WCRA) as required by law. For workers compensation, the City is not
subject to a deductible. The City’s workers compensation coverage is retrospectively rated. With this type of
coverage, final premiums are determined after loss experience is known. The amount of premium adjustment, if
any, is considered immaterial and not recorded until received or paid.
Property and casualty insurance is provided through a pooled self-insurance program through the LMCIT. The
City pays an annual premium to the LMCIT. The City is subject to supplemental assessments if deemed
necessary by the LMCIT. The LMCIT reinsures through commercial companies for claims in excess of various
amounts. The City retains risk for the deductible portion of the insurance policies and for any exclusions from
the insurance policies. These amounts are considered immaterial to the financial statements.
The City continues to carry commercial insurance for all other risks of loss, including disability and employee
health insurance.
There were no significant reductions in insurance from the previous year or settlements in excess of insurance
coverage for any of the past three fiscal years.
Note 17 ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The City implemented GASB Statement No. 87, Leases, for the year ended December 31, 2022. As a result,
leases receivable and deferred inflows of resources related to leases are recorded within the governmental funds
balance sheet and the government-wide statement of net position. Comparative amounts for the year ended
December 31, 2021 have been restated within the management’s discussion and analysis as a result of
implementation. There was no impact on net position or fund balance due to implementing the standard.
In addition, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, for the

DEBT SERVICE FUNDS
Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment
of, interest, principal and related costs on general long-term debt. The City’s Debt Service Funds
account for four types of bonded indebtedness:
General Debt Bonds – are repaid primarily from property taxes.
Improvement Bonds and Notes – are repaid primarily from special assessments.
Public Facility Lease Revenue Bonds – are repaid primarily from lease revenues received
from the EDA leasing the buildings to the City of Lino Lakes and other tenants.
Revenue Bonds – these bonds were issued to finance various improvements and will be
repaid primarily from pledged revenues derived from the constructed assets.
Capital Note – this note was issued to finance cable communications equipment and will
be repaid from revenues derived from franchise fees.

*For debt repaid with property taxes, the percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed
property values. Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of another governmental unit's taxable
assessed value that is within the City's boundaries and dividing it by each unit's total taxable assessed value.
Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. This schedule
estimates 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.

COMMUNICATION WITH THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Lino
Lakes, Minnesota (the City) for the year ended December 31, 2022. Professional standards
require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally
accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform Guidance,
as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have
communicated such information in our letter to you dated December 19, 2022. Professional
standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our
audit.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The
significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial
statements. As described in Note 17 to the financial statements, the City adopted new
accounting guidance for 2022, Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 87,
Leases. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is
a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been
recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by
management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and
current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are
particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of
the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected.
The most sensitive estimates affecting the City’s financial statements are the estimated
present value of the lease receivable, and estimates used to calculate the net pension liability,
the pension related deferred outflows and inflows of resources, and pension expense. These
estimates are based on the City’s estimated incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2022
and actuarial studies. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the
estimates in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken
as a whole.
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
Communication With Those Charged With Governance
Page 2
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance
to financial statement users. Determining sensitivity is subjective, however, we believe the
disclosures most likely to be considered sensitive are Note 3 – Receivables, Note 6 – Long-
Term Debt and Note 10A – Deficit Fund Balances.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing
our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified
during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the
appropriate level of management. There were no corrected or uncorrected misstatements
identified during the audit.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting,
reporting or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be
significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no
such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the
management representation letter dated June 1, 2023.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a
consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the City’s financial statements
or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements,
our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine
that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such
consultations with other accountants.
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
Communication With Those Charged With Governance
Page 3
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles
and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors.
However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship
and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the management’s discussion and analysis, the
budgetary comparison information, and the schedules of OPEB and pension information,
which are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial
statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of
preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s
responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained
during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not
express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial
statements and schedules, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With
respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and
evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the
information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the
information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements.
We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting
records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the introductory or statistical sections, which accompany
the financial statements but are not RSI. Such information has not been subjected to auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not
express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial
statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and
the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s basic financial statements, and
have issued our report thereon dated June 1, 2023.
In connection with our audit, we noted that the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota failed to
comply with provisions of the claims and disbursements section of the Minnesota Legal
Compliance Audit Guide for Cities, promulgated by the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota
Statute § 6.65, insofar as they relate to accounting matters as described in the Schedule of
Findings and Responses as item 2022-001. Also, in connection with our audit, nothing came
to our attention that caused us to believe that the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota failed to
comply with the provisions of the contracting – bid laws, depositories of public funds and
public investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, miscellaneous provisions, and
tax increment financing sections of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Cities,
insofar as they relate to accounting matters. However, our audit was not directed primarily
toward obtaining knowledge of such noncompliance. Accordingly, had we performed
additional procedures, other matters may have come to our attention regarding the City of
Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s noncompliance with the above referenced provisions, insofar as

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN
AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial
statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and
the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota, as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota's basic financial statements, and
have issued our report thereon dated June 1, 2023.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City of
Lino Lakes, Minnesota's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis
for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of
expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota's internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Lino Lakes,
Minnesota's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not
allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material
weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there
is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will
not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a
material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance.
1
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control
that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during
our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be
material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist
that were not identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s
financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements,
noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial
statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an
objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of
our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness
of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in
considering the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s internal control and compliance.
Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR
PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE AND REPORT ON
SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS REQUIRED BY THE
UNIFORM GUIDANCE
To Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s compliance with the types of compliance
requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a
direct and material effect on each of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s major federal programs
for the year ended December 31, 2022. The City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s major federal
programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule
of findings and questioned costs.
In our opinion, the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota complied, in all material respects, with the
types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect
on each of its major federal programs for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the
audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform
Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further
described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota and to meet our other
ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a
legal determination of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s compliance with the compliance
requirements referred to above.
3
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the
requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements
applicable to the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s federal programs.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with
the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and
express an opinion on the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s compliance based on our audit.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is
not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material
noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from
fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance
with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial
likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a
reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s
compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government
Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the
audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error,
and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures
include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City of Lino Lakes,
Minnesota’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
• Obtain an understanding of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s internal control over
compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in
accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s internal control over
compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control
over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal
control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on
a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control
over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in
the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed
to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses
or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during
our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we
consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of
our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the
requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other
purpose.

Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform
Guidance
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Lino
Lakes, Minnesota as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s basic
financial statements. We issued our report thereon dated June 1, 2023, which contained
unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of
forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial
statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for
purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is not a required part of
the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was
derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare
the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the 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 schedule of expenditures of federal
awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a
whole.

TOTAL 4.53 4.52 acres
Since there is no underlying preliminary plat and development plans for Outlot A, the
outlot will need to be preliminary and final platted in the future.
The preliminary plat notes noted an overlap in the legal description with the two parcels
noted on the northeast corner of the survey. The owner will has recorded quit claim deeds
of the two (2) parcels to the north property owners to eliminate the overlap.
Staff Comments:
1.All plan sheets shall be revised to reflect the correct lot lines after the quit claim
deeds have been recorded. Quit claim deeds have been recorded and lot lines are
accurately depicted.

Streets and Alleys
CSAH 12 (Apollo Drive) is an A-Minor Expander County road. Per the 2001 Joint
Powers Agreement between Anoka County and the City of Lino Lakes, access to Apollo
Drive shall be limited to four (4) access points. These four (4) access points currently
exist at 579 Apollo Drive, 519 Apollo Drive, 7641 Lake Drive, and 7621 Lake Drive. No
additional access points or driveway are allowed onto Apollo Drive in this section.
Therefore, access to the site will be from Lilac Street.
Lilac Street is a local road. Consistent with Anoka County access management and the
August 2020 CSAH 23 Preliminary Traffic Analysis, no additional access points are
allowed onto CSAH 23 (Lake Drive). Therefore, Lilac Street will not connect to CSAH
23 (Lake Drive).
There are no other public roads being proposed with the development. A shared
driveway from Lilac Street serving Lot 1 and Outlot A is proposed. A shared driveway
agreement will be required.
Easements
Standard drainage and utility easements at least 10 feet wide have been provided over the
lot lines and stormwater management facilities.
Public Land Dedication
The City will collect the following cash fee in lieu of land dedication for commercial
development for final plat Lot 1, Block 1 Milestones Addition.

Grading Plan and Stormwater Management
Per the City Engineer Memo dated May 3, 2023 June 1, 2023:
Stormwater from the existing 4.22 acre vacant lot area drains to storm sewer along
Apollo Drive (CSAH 12), which eventually drains to a city maintained pond in the
northwest quadrant of the Apollo Drive (CSAH 12) and Lilac Street intersection.
The project is proposed to add approximately 1.02 0.98 acres of impervious surface for
the childcare facility, parking lot, and entrance drive, according to the Stormwater
Management Plan. The applicant is proposing two infiltration basins to meet the runoff
rates and water quality standards.
A geotechnical evaluation report prepared by Chosen Valley Testing, Inc. was submitted
with the application. The report included soil borings which indicated that the soils in the
area consist of poorly graded sand with silt. Groundwater was not observed in the
borings.
The applicant used a HydroCAD model based on the Atlas 14, 24-hour storms to design
the storm sewer and infiltration basins. The proposed improvements are designed to
reduce site runoff rates for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year rainfall events. Runoff rates for the
10-day snow melt event were not provided at this time and are not required as basin
outlets are below the 100-year HWL.

The day care facility will be municipally served by a 21” sanitary sewer main and a 12”
watermain located along Apollo Drive.
The subject site is located in Utility Staging Area 1A (2018-2025) and Sanitary District 2
(Sub-District 2B). Flow from this area is collected southward to MCES Meter M211 and
Gravity Interceptor 8361 along North Road which passes southwest through Circle Pines.
Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards
The Environmental Coordinator and Environment Board reviewed the tree preservation
and landscaping requirements. The following comments are from the updated April 26,
2023 Environmental Board staff report. Additional comments are provided in the
attached May 1, 2023 June 1, 2023 memo.
A tree survey was performed that identified:
The majority of the trees planned for removal are in the Basic Use Area, not in
Environmentally Sensitive Areas, and will not require mitigation trees.
Several trees marked for saving are invasive. Siberian elms that should be removed.
Mitigation trees will not be required for these removals.
Updates required to the tree survey and preservation plan will be included in the
recommendations.
There will be 7 mitigation trees required. The 4 existing trees that will be preserved
provide 12 trees worth of credit. These 4 trees to preserve will require tree protection
zones to be installed in accordance with the City Tree Protection Fence Detail.
No additional mitigation trees will be required.
Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards have been met.
The applicant’s updated tree survey indicates 47 mitigation trees will be required. The
Basic Use Area should include 20 feet outside of the fence on the east building perimeter
as well. This reduces the total number of mitigation trees required to 34.
Of the 10 trees that are categorized as “Saved”, 8 are invasive species (Siberian elm) and
2 are not on the current project site. These trees will not provide existing tree credit.
32 trees planted in open space around buildings and ponds will also qualify as mitigation
trees. There an additional 2 mitigation trees required to meet the standard.
Tree preservation and mitigation standards have not been met.
Total Trees 133 141
Total Trees Removed 117 131
Total Trees Saved 16 10

Provided: 31 33 large trees
56 large shrubs
Open Areas Landscape Standards have been met.
Buffer and Screen Standards
The buffer and screen standards call for a 30-inch double triangulated row of plants for
the north parking lot perimeter.
There are 46 36 large shrubs planned for the north parking lot perimeter. These shrubs
are in a single row double triangulated row. A double triangulated row is needed to meet
the requirement. It appears that the requirement could be met by adjusting the placement
of these 46 shrubs without adding additional plants.
Buffer and Screen Standards have not been met.
Canopy Cover
Vehicular hardscape planned: 23,000 sq. ft.
Canopy cover requirement: 9,200 sq. ft.
Canopy cover provided: 9,450 9,350 sq. ft.
Canopy cover requirements have been met.
The Preliminary Plat for Milestones Addition shows a future parking lot west of the
proposed daycare facility. This would impact the placement of 4 trees currently
providing canopy cover. To account for future development of Outlot A in Milestones
Addition, it is recommended that these 4 trees have been moved to areas that will not be
impacted by future construction. The entrance road and south infiltration basin seem to
have ample space to accommodate these 4 trees.
The tree in the north island on the west parking lot perimeter should be moved to the west
side of the access drive at the south of the site to avoid conflicts with light pole and fire
hydrant.
Canopy cover standards have been met.
Foundation Landscaping
Staff estimated 340 linear feet of foundation that the standard will apply to.
Large Trees Large Shrubs (or equivalents)
Required 7 20
10
Provided 14 46
The foundation landscape requirements have been met.
Four shrubs at the northeast building corner near Play Area C should be removed to
prevent conflicts with Fire Department Connection at building.
Sod and Ground Cover Standards
All areas not otherwise improved in accordance with the approved site plans shall have a
minimum depth of 4 inches of topsoil and be sodded including boulevard areas. Seed
may be provided in lieu of sod in certain cases, including when the area is adjacent to
natural areas or wetlands.
The Turf Establishment Plan calls for Mn DOT 32-261 for the infiltration basins and Mn
DOT 25-131, a low-maintenance, salt, shade, and drought tolerant mix for the rest of the
turf on site. Mn DOT 32-261 should be changed to Mn DOT 33-261.
Six (6) inches of topsoil are planned for all turf establishment areas.
Category 3 erosion control blanket is noted for the areas with steeper slopes on the east
portion of the site. This should be updated to reflect the 2020 Mn DOT specifications to
ensure that there is no confusion. The City requires natural net erosion blanket.
Requested changes to the plan have been made.
Sod and ground cover standards have been met.
Signage
A separate Sign Permit Application with detailed sign information is required for any
permanent or temporary signage.
Impervious Surface Coverage
The allowed maximum impervious surface coverage per lot in the GB, General Business
District is 75%. Per Sheet C2.1, Site Plan, Lot 1 has 52% impervious surface and is
compliant.
Traffic Study
In August 2020, Anoka County Highway Department completed a CSAH 23 Preliminary
Traffic Analysis from Lexington Avenue to Main Street. The analysis included the
intersection of CSAH 23 and Apollo Drive. The intersection currently operates at a Level
of Service (LOS) D and is expected to operate the same in 2040. Per the applicant’s
narrative, the daycare typically has 150 cars in the morning and 150 cars in the afternoon
during pick up and drop off. Drop off/Pick Up occurs typically from 7-8:30AM and 4-
6PM.

The project is located east of the intersection of Apollo Drive (CSAH 12) and Lilac Street,
with frontage along both Apollo Drive (CSAH 12) and Lilac Street. Apollo Drive is a
County State Aid Highway and is identified as an A-Minor Arterial Expander in the 2040
Comprehensive Plan. Lilac Street is a local road adjacent to the property and a minor
collector roadway west of Apollo Drive (CSAH 12). Both Apollo Drive (CSAH 12) and
Lilac Street can handle the traffic volume and loads from the proposed childcare center.
Future development of Outlot A may require a traffic study.
Access to Apollo Drive (CSAH 12) is restricted per the Joint Powers Agreement with
Anoka County. The applicant is proposing an entrance drive on Lilac Street and a parking

Re: Environmental Board Comments/April 26th, 2023/Lil Explorers Childcare Center
The Environmental Board, at their April 26th, 2023 meeting, had the following
recommendations for Lil Explorers Childcare Center:
Applicant responses from 5-19-23 in red.
Environmental responses from 6-01-23 in blue.
1.The Tree Survey must be updated to match the Tree Inventory. The Preservation
and Mitigation standards will be applied to the updated Tree Survey. Additional
mitigation and preservation trees may be required as a result of this update. The
current survey and inventory should match
Ok.
2. The following updates are needed to the Tree Survey and Preservation Plan:
Environmental Memo
Attachment 2: City Engineer Memo dated June 1, 2023
Page 2
The Tree Mitigation and Preservation standards have not been met. The notes are
explanatory only. Changes were made
Ok.
3.The City Tree Protection Fence Detail must be added to the Details (Sheet C10).
All trees planned for preservation will require tree protection fence to be installed
in accordance with this detail. Also, the Tree Protection Zones (TPZs) must be
shown on the Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan (Sheet C5). The TPZs
must be in place prior to issuance of grading permit and will be reviewed by staff
concurrently with inspection of sediment and erosion control measures. Plan
changes required additional trees along the east line to be removed. Also, the
distance of the proposed saved trees to the construction limits is too close to meet
the TPZ criteria. The trees that do not meet that criteria will be indicated as
remove on the plans but we will try and save what we can.
Ok.
4. Canopy Cover: To account for future development of Outlot A in Milestones
Addition, it is recommended that the 4 trees along the west perimeter of the
parking lot be moved to areas that will not be impacted by future construction.
The entrance road and south infiltration basin seem to have ample space to
accommodate these 4 trees. Landscape plan comment
Ok.
5.Final placement of fire hydrants along west parking lot perimeter may necessitate
relocation of 2 trees in the islands. Landscape plan comment
The tree in the southern island can remain in place if the fire hydrant there will be
removed. The tree in the northern island on the west parking lot perimeter should
be moved to the west side of the access road across from the south stormwater
basin.
6. Buffer and Screen: The north perimeter of the parking lot requires a double,
triangulated row of plants. It appears that the standard could be met by adjusting
the placement of the 46 large shrubs shown into the required configuration.
Landscape plan comment
Ok.
7. Maintain a 10 foot radius free of shrubs around tree trunks on north parking lot
perimeter to prevent competition. Landscape plan comment
Ok.
8.A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan must be submitted that meets
requirements. This will include a concrete washout location, a note that
stabilization must be completed within 7 days of construction activity ceasing
(due to proximity to impaired waters), and contact info and credentials for the
Page 3
project inspector. The SWPPP will be submitted as a separate document with the
final construction plans. The above notes will be included in the SWPPP.
Ok.
9.The Turf Establishment Plan must be updated to match the seeding on the
Landscape Plan. Verify that correct Mn DOT seed mix numbers are used. The
landscaping plan has been prepared to represent final plantings and turf. The turf
establishment cites the landscaping plan as the preferred plan for turf
establishment.
Ok.
10. The Turf Establishment Plan calls for Mn DOT Seed Mixture 32-261. This
should be changed to Mn DOT 33-261. Typo was corrected
Ok.
11. Category 3 erosion control blanket is noted for the areas with steeper slopes on
the east portion of the site. This should be updated to reflect the 2020 Mn DOT
specification numbers to ensure that there is no confusion. The City requires
natural net erosion blanket. The category was changed to category 20
Ok.
12.Verify that the trash enclosure is properly sized to accommodate both trash and
recycling containers. Architect plan comment
Ok.
13.Applicant may want to consider organics recycling for this site. Assistance and
grants to establish a recycling program on site may be available through Anoka
County’s AnokaBizRecycle Program. Owner comment
Ok.
14.The mitigation tree requirement has been recalculated to reflect the updated tree
survey and inventory. 34 mitigation trees are required. The proposed landscape plan
provides 32 mitigation trees in open space around buildings and ponds. 2 additional
mitigation trees will be required to meet standards.
15.Remove 4 shrubs from northeast corner of building (circled in blue below) to prevent
conflicts with Fire Department Connection on building.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM 6B
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: June 12, 2023
TOPIC: Consider 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 02-23, Amending Chapter
405 Related to Bulk Deicing Material Storage
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council approval to amend City Code Chapter 405 to establish minimum
requirements for the storage of deicing material.
BACKGROUND
Section 18.6 of the City’s General Permit for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
requires that the City adopt a regulatory mechanism (Ordinance) that requires proper salt
storage at commercial, institutional, and non-NPDES Permitted industrial facilities. At a
minimum the ordinance must require the following:
a. Designated salt storage areas must be covered or indoors;
b.Designated salt storage areas must be located on an impervious surface; and
c.Implementation of practices to reduce exposure when transferring material in
designated salt storage areas (e.g., sweeping, diversions, and/containment).
Deicers used to reduce ice and snow on roads, parking lots, and sidewalks often include salt,
which contains chloride. Chloride is easily transmitted into lakes, streams, and groundwater.
This has the potential to impact drinking water supplies, as well as the health of freshwater fish
and other aquatic life. Once in the water, there is no easy way to remove it.
The draft ordinance establishes minimum requirements for the safe storage of deicer materials.
The requirements are applicable to all commercial, institutional and industrial properties in the
City. Typically, these are uses that have large parking areas and routinely use deicers as part of
their snow removal procedures. The threshold of 5 tons equates to approximately one dump
truck load of material. Staff is not aware of any facilities, other than public works, that has this
amount of deicer stored. Staff contacted one local construction company that had previously
provided winter snow removal services. They indicated they no longer provide those services
and do not stockpile salt on the property.
The City Council approved the 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 02-23 on May 22, 2023
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of the 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 02-23.

ORDINANCE NO. 02 - 23
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 405 OF THE LINO LAKES CITY CODE,
RELATING TO NUISANCES, BY ADDING REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING BULK
DEICING MATERIAL STORAGE
The City Council of Lino Lakes Ordains:
Section 1. Section 405.02 of the Lino Lakes City Code is amended by adding the following
definitions:
Anti-icing means the application of liquid deicer prior to the onset of a snow event.
Bulk Storage means the storage of any deicing material (liquid or solid used for deicing
during winter conditions that is more than five tons in solid form (or 1,000 gallons in liquid
form).
Deicer means any substance used to melt snow and ice or used for its anti-icing effects (i.e.
salt, treated salt, etc.).
Section 2. Renumbering. Sections 405.05 through 405.09 are hereby renumbered as follows:
405.05 06 NPDES Permits Compliance
405.06 07 Prohibited Discharge, Action Required
405.07 08 Entry Upon Private Property
405.08 09 Suspension of Storm Sewer System Access
405.09 10 Enforcement
Section 3. Section 405.05 is inserted to read as follows:
405.05 DEICER STORAGE REQUIREMENTS. The following section applies to all
indoor and outdoor bulk deicer storage facilities (temporary and permanent) including salt piles,
salt bag storage, salt/sand piles and other storage of deicing materials on commercial,
institutional, and non-NPDES permitted industrial properties within the City.
(1) Indoor operations for the storage of deicing materials must be provided wherever possible
in order to prevent such materials from being affected by rain, snow and melt water.
(2) All salt, salt/sand mix and other deicing materials stored outdoors must be covered at all
times.
(a) When not using a permanent roof, a waterproof impermeable, flexible cover must be
placed over all storage piles (to protect against precipitation and surface water runoff).
(b) The cover must prevent runoff and leachate from being generated by the outdoor
storage piles.
(c) The cover must be secured to prevent removal by wind or other storm events. Piles
must be formed in a conical shape and covered as necessary to prevent leaching.
(3) Facility Siting.
(a) Outdoor storage of deicing materials must be located on an impervious surface.
(b) Each facility must be located outside of floodplains and 75 feet from lakes, rivers,
streams, ditches, wetlands and any other areas likely to absorb runoff.
(c) The property must be sloped away from the facility's deicer storage area.
(d) Practices must be implemented in order to reduce exposure (e.g., sweeping, diversions,
and/or containment) when transferring deicing material.
Section 4. This ordinance shall be in effect 30 days after publication.
Adopted by the Lino Lakes City Council this 12th day of June, 2023.
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing ordinance was introduced by Councilmember
_____________and was duly seconded by Councilmember ___________ and upon vote being
