CITY OF ST. ANTHONY, MINNESOTA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 S. COMPARATIVE TOTALS The basic financial statements, required supplementary information, combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules and supplementary financial information include certain prior-year summarized comparative information in total but not at the level of detail required for presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the City’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, from which the summarized information was derived. T. DEFERRED OUTFLOWS/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/ expenditure) until then. The City has two items that qualify for reporting in this category. They are the pension related deferred outflows of resources and the OPEB related deferred outflows of resources reported in the government- wide Statement of Net Position and the proprietary funds Statement of Net Position. 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 so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The government has pension and OPEB related deferred inflows of resources reported in the government-wide Statement of Net Position and the proprietary funds Statement of Net Position, and reports deferred inflows of resources related to leases in the government-wide Statement of Net Position and the governmental funds Balance Sheet. The government 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 fund balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from the following sources: property taxes, special assessments, tax increment and intergovernmental revenue. U. DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) and additions to/deductions from PERA’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by PERA except 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. 51
