Scope This report analyzes the financial operations of 1,656 towns in Minnesota that provided financial information to the Office of the State Auditor for the calendar year ended December 31, 2016. 2 The data used in preparing this report included annual town financial reporting forms, audits by certified public accountants, financial statements prepared by the town clerk or clerk-treasurer, county auditors reports of indebtedness, Minnesota Department of Revenue records. 3 Data received from the Department of Revenue includes state-shared tax distributions, grants, aids, taxable valuations, tax levies. In 2016, there were 1,781 towns compared to 853 cities 87 counties. The 2016 population estimates from the State Demographer show that 909,414 individuals reside in towns, representing about 16.4 percent of the state population. Town populations range from 11,078 in the Town of White Bear to 5 in the Town of Hangaard. Fifty-three percent of towns have a population of 300 or less. The data presented in this report reflects the activities of governmental funds enterprise funds. The governmental funds consist of the, Special Revenue, Capital Projects, Debt Service Funds. The enterprise funds are funds that report the financial operations of municipal public service enterprises, such as water or sewer utilities owned by the town. Tables 1 2 summarize the overall financial condition of Minnesota towns. More specifically, Table 1 displays governmental fund revenues, Table 2 shows governmental fund expenditures. Tables 3 4 present the data for governmental fund revenues expenditures by individual town, organized by county. Table 5 lists public enterprise funds, Table 6 details outsting bonded, other long-term, short-term debt of each individual town as of December 31, 2016. long-term debt refers to liabilities such as long-term lease agreements, installment purchase contracts, notes. Tables 7 8 provide a summary of town revenues expenditures by economic development region. This report does not analyze fund balances. The majority of towns use a cash basis of accounting, with the remainder using a modified accrual basis of accounting. Those towns using a cash basis of accounting report a single cash balance for all governmental funds at the end of the fiscal year. Towns using a modified accrual basis of accounting report separate fund balances for all of their governmental funds denote the amounts that fall under the following classifications: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, unassigned. Because of these differences among towns, a comparative analysis of fund balances is not appropriate. 2 While there were 1,781 Minnesota towns in 2016, a total of 125 towns failed to comply with the statutory reporting requirement. In the previous reporting period, 95 towns failed to comply with the reporting requirement. The difference in the number of towns reporting from 2015 to 2016 may skew comparisons between the two years. 3 The underlying databases for Office of the State Auditor reports are available for downloading through the Office of the State Auditor s website at www.auditor.state.mn.us. 3

Overview al Principal of The principal sources of revenues for towns in 2016 were: taxes (mainly property taxes) state grants. These sources of revenues accounted for 89.5 percent of town revenues in 2016. Figure 1 below shows the components of revenues as a percent of total revenues in 2016.

Ten-Year Trends Figure 4 below illustrates a long-term trend in total revenues in actual constant dollars. 4 As the chart shows, 2010 was the only year in which non-inflation adjusted revenues decreased during the ten-year period. Between 2007 2016, total town revenues in actual dollars increased 30.9 percent. In constant, or inflation-adjusted, dollars, total town revenues increased 9.4 percent over this ten-year period.

Figure 6 below displays the categories of expenditures for 2016. The roads bridges expenditures category, which is the primary service provided by towns, is more than three times the size of the next largest category, which is general government.

Current Five-Year Trends Minnesota towns reported total expenditures of $310.8 million in 2016. This amount represents an increase of 9.9 percent over the amount reported in 2015. Of total expenditures, $260.4 million (83.8 percent) was allocated to current expenditures, $39.1 million (12.6 percent) to capital outlay, $11.2 million (3.6 percent) to debt service payments. Over the five-year period of 2012 to 2016, town total expenditures increased 22.5 percent. Figure 7 on the following page illustrates total expenditures over the five-year period. 5 Current expenditures capital outlays for water sewer enterprises are included separately as enterprise fund activities in Table 5, pg. 151. 9

Capital Outlays Capital outlays are expenditures used for the acquisition or construction of capital assets, such as buildings roads. Capital assets have lives extending beyond a single reporting period. Town capital outlays totaled $39.1 million in 2016. This amount represents an increase of 22.4 percent over 2015 an increase of 28.6 percent over the five-year period beginning in 2012. The largest category of capital outlays for towns was roads bridges. Capital outlay expenditures for roads bridges increased 5.8 percent between 2015 2016 comprised 66.1 percent of total capital outlay spending in 2016. Debt Service Debt service expenditures are the principal interest payments on outsting indebtedness. Towns had debt service expenditures of $11.2 million in 2016. This amount represents a decrease of 7.8 percent from 2015. Over the five-year period of 2012 to 2016, debt service expenditures decreased 15.5 percent. Ten-Year Trends Figure 9 below shows the change in total expenditures in actual constant dollars from 2007 to 2016. In constant, or inflation-adjusted, dollars, total town expenditures increased 7.0 percent between 2007 2016. In actual dollars, total expenditures grew 28.0 percent over the ten-year period. 6 Figure 9: Growth in in Actual Constant Dollars, 2007-2016 $330 $310 (in Millions) $290 $270 $250 $230 $210 $190 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Actual Dollars Constant Dollars 6 Constant dollars will refer to data adjusted for inflation using the Implicit Price Deflator for State Local s, setting 2007 as the base year (N.I.P.A.

Primary Categories of Figure 10 below illustrates the ten-year trend in current expenditures, capital outlays, debt service as a percent of total expenditures from 2007 to 2016. The chart shows that current expenditures are the primary expenditure for towns. In addition, the chart shows that the share of total expenditures allocated to current expenditures has been increasing. The underlying data displayed in Figures 7 through 10 for the years 2007 through 2011 can be found in the town finance reports for previous years. Data displayed for years 2012 through 2016 is in Table 2 on page 23. 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% Figure 10: Components of as a Percent of, 2007-2016 0% 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Current Capital Outlays Debt Service Indebtedness Current Five-Year Trends Towns incur long-term debt through the issuance of bonds notes, certificates of indebtedness, tax anticipation certificates. Long-term lease agreements are also classified as long-term debt. Towns can borrow only as permitted by state law, generally to finance purchases or capital projects. The amount of outsting debt affects the amount available for current expenditures because towns must have sufficient funds available to make principal interest payments to service the debt. 12

Outsting indebtedness totaled $57.4 million in 2016. This represents an increase of 4.9 percent over 2015. Outsting bonded indebtedness totaled $35.5 million in 2016, which represents an increase of 5.5 percent over the $33.6 million outsting in 2015. long-term debt totaled $21.4 million in 2016, which was an increase of 3.3 percent over 2015. In addition, towns reported $592,540 in short-term indebtedness in 2016, which was an increase of 42.6 percent over 2015.
