To the Citizens of the City of Columbia Heights,
Mayor, Council Members, and City Manager
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Columbia Heights for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2010, is hereby submitted. The City’s management assumes responsibility
for both the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report, based on a
comprehensive framework of internal control that it has established for this purpose. Because
the cost of internal control should not exceed its anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide
reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material
misstatements.
HLB Tautges Redpath, Ltd., Certified Public Accountants, have issued an unqualified (“clean”)
opinion on the City of Columbia Heights financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2010. Their independent auditors’ report is located at the front of the financial section of this
report.
State law requires Minnesota cities to issue by June 30th of each year a complete set of audited
financial statements for the preceding fiscal year ended December 31st. In addition, state law
requires that Minnesota cities undergo an annual Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit. During the
year ended December 31, 2010, the City expended more than $500,000 in federal grant awards.
The City was therefore required to have an audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single
Audit Act of 1984 and the United States Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133 for
2010. Information related to the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit and the Single (A-133)
Audit, including the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is included in the Other
Required Reports Section at the back of this report.
Generally accepted accounting principals require that management provide a narrative
introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of
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 Columbia
Heights’ MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.
PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
The City of Columbia Heights, a suburb located north of the City of Minneapolis in Anoka
County in east-central Minnesota, was originally incorporated as a village in 1898. In 1921,
pursuant to the adoption of a home rule City Charter by the qualified voters of the City, a
council-manager form of government, was instituted.

The City Council consists of a Mayor and four Council Members. All are elected at-large, on a
non-partisan basis. The Mayor serves a two-year term and the Council Members serve four-year
terms. The City Manager is appointed by the City Council. The City covers an area of 3.52
square miles and currently has a population of 19,496. The City is empowered to levy a tax on
both real and personal property within its boundaries.
All City funds, departments, commissions and other organizations for which the City of
Columbia Heights is financially accountable, including all component units, are presented within
the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The Columbia Heights Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority
(EDA) are included in the reporting entity as blended component units of the City of Columbia
Heights due to the fact that the governing boards are substantively the same and the City is in a
relationship of financial benefit/burden with the authorities.
The City provides a full range of services to its citizens. These services include, but are not
limited to, police and fire protection; water and sanitation services; the construction and
maintenance of highways, streets, and infrastructure; library; recreational facilities; and general
administrative services.
LOCAL ECONOMY
The City is located within the varied and stable economic base of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul
greater metropolitan area, which is a major center for both the state and the Upper-Midwest. As
such, there has been a relatively stable level of employment for City residents and this is
expected to continue. In 2010, the largest employers located within the boundaries of the City
included Independent School District 13 and one division of Medtronic Inc., a medical device
manufacturer.
With its close proximity to the Minneapolis downtown area (4 miles), the City of Columbia
Heights offers opportunities for many people to live close to where they work, and this has
helped maintain demand for housing in the City. However, as an older, fully developed, inner-
ring suburb of the City of Minneapolis, the management and residents of the City of Columbia
Heights are faced with the problems of an aging infrastructure, crime, and dependency on state
aid to supplement local revenues. The recent sharp rise nation-wide in home mortgage
foreclosures has also been reflected locally. The City Council and the City’s management are
taking a proactive approach to dealing with these concerns, and they currently have a number of
initiatives in progress to address them. Some of these are described below.
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
The City has a planned Street Rehabilitation Program including, as needed, water mains, sanitary
sewer and storm sewer improvements. The program divides the City into seven street
rehabilitation zones and calls for approximately one zone to be rehabilitated every one to two
years. A portion of cost of street rehabilitation is charged to the benefiting properties in the form
of special assessments. In some cases, the City issues bonds to initially finance the project,
repaying the bonds with special assessments collected over a number of years.
6
Historically, local government aid (LGA) from the State of Minnesota has been a key component
of the City’s operating budget. In recent years, the amount provided by the state has been
unpredictable, significantly reduced, and sometimes reduced retroactively. To provide for more
stable operations, the City’s management has developed a multi-year financial plan that would
transition LGA out of the City’s operating budget by 2013. Thereafter, under the plan, LGA
would be used only to reduce the City’s bond levies and/or for capital outlay. The current City
Council has reached consensus of opinion in support of the plan. Implementation of this plan is
of course dependent on the annual property tax levy and operating budget actually adopted by
the City Council each year.
RELEVANT FINANCIAL POLICIES
By Council resolution, a portion of the unreserved fund balance in the general fund is designated
for working capital purposes. This is targeted at 45% of the general fund budget for the
following year. At December 31, 2010, there was sufficient unreserved fund balance in the
general fund to meet this goal.
The City’s policy is to budget and recognize license and permit revenues of the community
development function, such as building permit revenue, in the Community Development Fund, a
non-major special revenue fund. License and permit revenues of other functions are budgeted
and recognized in the general fund. For this reason, license and permit revenues in the general
fund are often lower than other comparable Minnesota Cities, which more commonly budget for
and recognize all license and permit revenues in the general fund.
CURRENT MAJOR INITIATIVES
As in much of the nation, home prices in the City have dropped sharply over the last few years.
Given this, plus the age of the City’s housing stock, the Economic Development Authority has
implemented a program of purchasing and demolishing substandard residential property to create
an inventory of redevelopment property available for resale when the housing market recovers.
As of December 31, 2010, twenty-three properties had been acquired under this program. A
majority of the buildings on these properties were also demolished by December 31, 2010.
In 2008, the City began construction of a new $12 million public safety facility, financed with
general obligation bonds. This project was completed in early 2010.
AWARD AND AKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Government Finance Officers' Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement
for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota for its
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Certificate
of Achievement is a prestigious national award that recognizes conformity with the highest
standards for preparation of state and local government financial reports. In order to be awarded
a Certificate of Achievement, a government unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently
organized Comprehensive Annual Financial Report whose contents conform to program
standards. The CAFR must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable
legal requirements.
7
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current
report continues to conform to the Certificate of Achievement program requirements, and we are
submitting it to the GFOA.
The preparation of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report on a timely basis was made
possible by the dedicated service of the entire staff of the Finance Department. Each member of
the department has our sincere appreciation for the contributions made in the preparation of this
report.
In closing, without the leadership and support of the City Manager and City Council, preparation
of this report would not have been possible.
Sincerely,
Joseph P. Kloiber
Finance Director - from June 1, 2011
Assistant Finance Director – to May 31, 2011

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As management of the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota (the City), we offer readers of the City
of Columbia Heights’ financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial
activities of the City for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. 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 of the City exceeded its liabilities at December 31, 2010, by $66,663,584 (net assets). Of
this amount, $29,867,917 or 45% are unrestricted net assets that 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.
During 2010, the City’s total net assets increased by $3,495,530 or 6% from the prior year.
Governmental activities provided $2,409,737 of this increase, and the City’s business-type activities
provided the remaining $1,085,793.
As of December 31, 2010, the combined fund balances of the City’s governmental funds were
$25,439,109. This is an increase of $315,773 or 1% from the prior year. This increase in
governmental fund balances is significantly less than the aforementioned increase in the net assets of
governmental activities, primarily due to the different treatment each requires for reporting current
year capital asset additions.
The portion of the combined governmental fund balances at December 31, 2010, that was both
unreserved and undesignated was $786,054.
As of December 31, 2010, the general fund balance of $5,342,239 included $77,204 reserved for
prepayments; $4,553,470 designated for working capital; $171,646 designated for certain program
purposes; and $483,446 unreserved undesignated.
During 2010, the City’s total bonded debt decreased by $1,318,000 to an end of year total of
$28,277,998. This decrease was from the payment of principal due in the current 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 are comprised of 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
15
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
business.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of the City’s assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may
serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net assets changed during
the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event
giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and
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 and community development. The
business-type activities of the City include water, sanitary sewer, refuse, storm sewer and liquor
operations.
The government-wide financial statements are presented as 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 three categories:
governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary 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 balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison
between governmental funds and governmental activities.
16
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental
fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for each major governmental
fund. The major governmental funds in 2010 are as follows:
• General fund
• 2008A taxable G.O. housing improvement area bonds fund
• Public safety center capital building fund
• Municipal state aid street fund
• Capital improvements general government buildings fund
• Capital equipment replacement general government fund
• Capital improvements-PIR fund
• Capital improvements development fund
Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation.
Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of
combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general and certain special revenue funds listed
in the notes to the financial statements. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for
these funds to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements are presented as Statements 3 through 5 of this
report.
Proprietary funds. The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are
used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide
financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its water, sewer, refuse, storm
sewer, and liquor operations. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and
allocate costs internally among the City’s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to
account for its central garage, information systems, insurance, and compensated absences services.
Because the central garage, insurance and compensated absences services predominately benefit
governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been included within governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. And also, because the information systems
services predominately benefit the business-type functions, it has been included within the business-
type activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds 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, refuse, storm sewer and liquor operations, all of which are considered to be major
funds of the City. Conversely, the internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated
presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service
funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements are presented as Statements 6 through 8 of this report.
17
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties
outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial
statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own programs.
The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds.
The basic fiduciary fund financial statement is presented as Statement 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.
Other information. Required supplementary information on funding for retiree health benefits is
presented immediately following the budgetary comparison referred to above. The combining
statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds and internal service
funds are presented immediately following the schedule of funding progress for the retiree health
plan. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules are presented as Statements 12
through 66 of this report.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted above, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial
position. At December 31, 2010, the City’s assets exceeded its liabilities by $66,663,584.
$34,323,362 or 51% of the City’s net assets, reflects its 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. It should be noted that, although net assets invested in
capital assets are reported net of related debt, 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.
In addition, a portion of the City’s net assets represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets, $29,867,917
or 45%, may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
At December 31, 2010, the City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net assets,
both for the City as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities.

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS' CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
Governmental Activities Business-Type Activities Totals

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Governmental activities. During the current year, governmental activities increased the City’s total
net assets by $2,409,737 or 4%. During the prior year, governmental activities increased the City’s
net assets by $2,219,659 or 4%. Key differences between the current and prior year change in net
assets of governmental activities include:
• Capital grants and contributions increased by $1.7 million or 90% in 2010, compared
to the prior year. This was primarily due to two federal grants for replacement of a
pedestrian bridge.
• All other changes in revenues of the governmental activities were approximately
offsetting. For example, a continuing decline in state aid revenue was offset by an
increase in general property taxes under the City’s multi-year plan to phase out
reliance on state aid for general operations. Also a decline in tax increment
collections in 2010, due to the expiration of certain tax increment districts, was
somewhat offset by the parcels from those expired districts now being subject to the
City’s general property tax levy.
• Expenses of the governmental activities increased by $1.3 million or 9% in 2010,
compared to the prior year. $881,247 of this expense increase was in the public
safety function, representing a 19% increase over the prior year. This public safety
increase was split roughly equally between increases in depreciation and operating
expenses of new facilities and equipment on the one hand, and personnel increases on
the other.
• The increase in public safety personnel expenses was a combination of two new
police officer positions funded by operating grant revenue, plus two factors that
affected all City functions:
o During 2009, a mandatory two-week furlough for all fulltime employees was
imposed as a one-time cost reduction measure.
o Certain council-approved cost of living increases occurred in 2010.
• The net transfers-in from the City’s business-type activities to its governmental
activities decreased by $291,946 or 76%. This net decrease primarily reflects the use
of tax increment collections from the governmental activities to improve a section of
the Central Avenue sanitary sewer. After completion, ownership of the portion of
this project paid by the governmental activities was transferred to the sewer function
within the business-type activities.

Business-type activities. In 2010, business-type activities increased the City’s total net assets by
$1,085,793 or 2%. In the prior year, business-type activities increased the City’s net assets by
$378,675 or less than 1%. The key differences between the current and prior year change in
business-type activities net assets were within the sewer function, including the following:
• As mentioned above, the portion of the 2010 Central Avenue sewer improvement paid by the
governmental activities was transferred in 2010 to the sewer function within the business-
type activities. This increased the net assets of the business-type activities by $234,668.
• Charges for sewer services increased $128,826 or 9% in 2010 compared to the prior year.
This reflects one-time sewer availability charges (SAC) from redevelopment.
• Sewer expenses decreased $258,616 or 15% in 2010 compared to the prior year. This was
primarily due to certain infrastructure-related sewer projects that were carried out in 2009,
but not in 2010. These projects did not reach the dollar threshold at which the City
capitalizes infrastructure. Consequently, all of these project expenses were recognized in
2009 instead of being depreciated over many years.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-
related legal requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-
term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing
the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful
measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
At December 31, 2010, the City’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of
$25,439,109. Of this total, $23,811,834 or 94% is unreserved fund balance. The remaining fund
balance is reserved, because $80,250 has already been committed for prepaid items and $1,547,025
represents real estate held for resale.
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City. In 2010, fund balance in the general fund
increased by $546,088 or 11%. In the prior year, fund balance in the general fund increased by
$1,040,194 or 28%. Key differences between the current and prior year change in the fund balance
of the general fund include the following:
• Total general fund revenue remained approximately same in 2010 as in the prior year. The
amount of market value homestead credit, an intergovernmental revenue received from the
State of Minnesota, decreased $281,493 or 62% in 2010, as compared to the prior year. This
decrease was offset by increases in most other revenue line items. The decrease in market
value homestead credit was imposed in 2010 as part of the state’s budget reduction measures.
• Total general fund expenditures increased $837,631 or 10% in 2010, as compared to the prior

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
year. The majority of this increase, $682,878 was in personnel expenditures. This personnel
increase was driven by most of the same factors listed above in the analysis of governmental
activities:
o During 2009, a mandatory two-week furlough for all fulltime employees was
imposed as a one-time cost reduction measure.
o Two new police officer positions funded by intergovernmental revenue were
added in 2010.
o Certain council-approved cost of living increases occurred in 2010.
o Staffing for elections occurred in 2010. No election was held in 2009.
• Transfers into the general fund from other funds, net of transfers out, increased by $310,808
or 172% in 2010, as compared to the prior year. This was primarily the result of one-time
transfers to close certain nonmajor governmental funds in 2010.
The changes in fund balance of the other major governmental funds in 2010, and key elements of
those changes, were as follows:
• The 2008A Taxable GO Housing Improvement Area Bonds Fund decreased by $61,328.
This primarily reflects the transfer of $37,500 to the General Fund and $37,500 to the
nonmajor governmental funds, which represents the administrative fees earned in prior years
by the City in this rehabilitation project.
• The Public Safety Center Capital Building Fund decreased by $135,058. This reflects the
2010 expenditure of funds received by this capital project in prior years.
• The Municipal State Aid Street Fund decreased by $126,644. This decrease reflects the 2010
transfer of revenue received in prior years to the nonmajor governmental funds for certain
debt service. 2010 revenues and expenditures were approximately equal in this fund.
• The Capital Improvements General Government Buildings Fund increased by $71,137. This
is the amount by which 2010 investment income and transfers-in for building improvements
exceeded 2010 building improvements.
• The Capital Equipment Replacement General Government Fund decreased by $298,608.
This is the amount by which 2010 equipment purchases exceeded 2010 investment income
and transfers-in for equipment purchases.
• The Capital Improvements PIR Fund decreased by $518,986. This primarily reflects the 2010
transfer of certain special assessments and other sources received by this fund in prior years
to the nonmajor governmental funds for debt service purposes.
• The Capital Improvements Development Fund increased by $770,019. This primarily reflects
several transfers and other 2010 interfund transactions designed to consolidate governmental
fund balance designated for redevelopment into a smaller number of funds than reported in
24
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
prior years.
The combined total fund balances of the nonmajor governmental funds increased by $69,153 or less
than 1% in 2010. Whereas in the prior year, combined total fund balances of the nonmajor
governmental funds increased by $1,785,636 or 21%. This difference involved numerous changes,
but the most significant elements included:
• Property tax revenue in the nonmajor governmental funds increased $705,186 or 52% in
2010, compared to the prior year. The majority of this increase was related to taxes levied to
pay debt service related to a new public safety building.
• Certain transfers into the nonmajor governmental funds in 2009 from the Municipal State Aid
Street Fund were one-time items only and totaled $737,270.
• One-time transfers in 2010 from the nonmajor governmental funds to the General Fund, the
Capital Improvements General Government Buildings Fund, and the Capital Improvements
Development Fund, were made in 2010 to close several small funds for efficiency.
Proprietary funds. The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information that is
found in the government-wide financial statements for business-type activities, but in more detail.
At December 31, 2010, net assets of the major proprietary funds included the following amounts of
unrestricted net assets (deficit):
• Water Fund $957,639
• Sewer Fund $2,473,141
• Refuse Fund $841,294
• Storm Sewer Fund $25,873
• Liquor Fund $1,679,714
The 2010 increases (decreases) in net assets of the major proprietary funds included the following:
• Water Fund $443,671
• Sewer Fund $320,142
• Refuse Fund $111,664
• Storm Sewer Fund $73,813
• Liquor Fund $157,382
Other factors concerning the finances of the proprietary funds are addressed above in the analysis of
the City’s business-type activities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Budgetary Highlights
General fund. The changes between the original and final 2010 general fund budget consist of:
• An increase of $47,047 to budgeted public safety expenditures, and an equal increase to the
combined amount budgeted for intergovernmental revenue and charges for services. This
reflects additional police and fire services and training funded by external entities after the
adoption of the original budget.
• A reclassification of $535,625 from tax revenue to intergovernmental revenue – market value
homestead credit. The City’s policy is to adopt the original budget using the classifications
required to certify the annual tax levy to Anoka County for collection. A portion of the tax
levy certified under this classification is never actually received from the County in the form
of tax revenue. This portion is received from the State of Minnesota as intergovernmental
revenue - the market value homestead credit. Each year, after the levy has been adjusted for
this item by Anoka County, an amendment to the original budget is recorded to reflect the
County’s adjustment.
Actual general fund revenues in 2010 were more than budgeted by $241,033 or 3%. This variance
was primarily the result of the following:
• Actual local government aid received from the State of Minnesota was $469,842 more than
budgeted for in 2010. This was however, offset by the actual amount of market value
homestead credit received from the State of Minnesota being $365,784 less than budgeted.
• The City received certain surplus amounts totaling $105,097 from various tax increment
financing districts in 2010. These amounts were not anticipated, and were not included in the
budgeted amount of property tax revenue.
Actual general fund expenditures in 2010 were less than budgeted by $480,740 or 5%. By far the
largest element of this variance was $212,434 in the parks and recreation departments:
• 2010 was the first year of operations at a new gymnasium facility. Actual expenditures were
less than budgeted by $63,135 for this facility. Limited information was available upon
which to estimate many first year costs. Significant seasonal staffing was budgeted for the
facility, but much of the actual staffing was achieved by relocating existing staff from
another facility.
• Other operations within parks and recreation used less seasonal and overtime staffing than
budgeted. Some of this reflects staff re-assigned to programs outside the general fund, and
some reflects a continuation of overall cost reduction measures implemented in 2009 in
response to state aid reductions and weak economic conditions in general.
• A full-time maintenance position in the recreation department was unfilled for part of 2010.
26
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The remaining $268,306 of the general fund expenditure budget variance was spread across all
departments of the general fund, other than police and engineering. To a large extent, this reflects a
continuation of cost reduction measures implemented in 2009 in response to state aid reductions and
weak economic conditions in general.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assets. The City’s capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of
December 31, 2010, amount to $57,462,145 net of accumulated depreciation. This investment in
capital assets includes land, buildings, equipment, infrastructure, and construction in progress. Note
that real estate that is only held for resale is not included here in the analysis of capital assets used in
governmental and business-type activities.
At December 31, 2010, the City had $482,000 of noncancellable contractual commitments for
construction in 2010. Significant capital asset activity during 2010 included the following:

Long-term debt. During 2010, the City’s total bonded debt decreased by $1,318,000 to an end of
year total of $28,277,998. This decrease was from the payment of principal due in the current year.
Bonded debt outstanding at year end included general obligation bonds, all of which are backed by
the full faith and credit of the City, and revenue bonds, for which only revenues from the related
projects financed are pledged for repayment. Some of the general obligation bonds have specific
revenue sources pledged other than property taxes, but in the event those other sources were
28
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
insufficient, the City would be required to fund the shortfall through property taxes.
State statute limits the amount of certain general obligation debt that a Minnesota city may issue to
3% of the taxable market value of property within a city’s taxing jurisdiction. At December 31, 2010,
the City’s debt limit under this statute was $38,979,705 and $13,855,000 of the City’s outstanding
debt was of the type to which this limit applies.
City of Columbia Heights’ Long-Term Debt
At December 31, 2010, the City’s general obligation bonds have an AA rating from Standard and
Poor’s and Aa2 rating from Moody’s. The outstanding revenue bonds of the business activities at
December 31, 2010, are repaid only with lease revenue and have an A1 rating from Moody’s. The
outstanding revenue bonds of the governmental activities at December 31, 2010, are repaid only with
tax increment and are unrated.
In addition to bonded debt, at year end there was long-term debt in the amount of $1,003,871 and
$30,661 respectively, for compensated absences and post-employment health insurance. Additional
information on the City’s long-term debt can be found in Note 6 to the financial statements.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget
In 2010, the average annual unemployment rate for Anoka County, which includes the City, was
7.5%. This is a decrease from a rate of 8.5% from the prior year. This compares to the average 2010
state and national rates of 7.2% and 9.0% respectively. Inflationary trends in the region compare
favorably to national trends. In 2010, there were a significant number of residential mortgage
foreclosures in the City. However, sufficient data is not available to compare this to the related state
and national foreclosure trends.
These factors were considered in preparing the City of Columbia Heights’ 2011 budget.

Fund balance reported above
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net assets are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources, and therefore, are not reported in the funds.
Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current-period expenditures and, therefore, are deferred in the funds.
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of garage, information systems, insurance and compensated
absences to individual funds. With the exception of the information systems fund which is a business-type fund, the assets and
liabilities of the internal service funds are included in the governmental activities in the statement of net assets.
Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in the funds.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES,Statement 5
EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
For The Year Ended December 31, 2010
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the
statement of activities (Statement 2) are different because:
Net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds (Statement 4)$315,773
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. The difference is the amount by which outlays for capital assets
exceeded depreciation in the current year.1,610,963
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to the governmental funds,
while repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of
the governmental funds. Neither transaction has any effect on net assets however. This
amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt.765,736
Interest that accrues in the prior year on long-term debt, that is paid in the current year,
consumes current financial resources, and is therefore reported in the governmental funds.
It does not reduce net assets however, and is not reported as an expense in the statement of
activities.21,961
Other postemployment employee benefits that accrue in the current year, but are not paid
in the current year, do not consume current financial resources, and are therefore not reported in
the governmental funds. They do reduce net assets however, and are reported as an expense
in the statement of activities.(10,520)
Revenue earned in prior years, that first becomes available in the current year, is reported in the
governmental funds. Whereas, this amount was reported in the statement of activities
in the prior year(s) in which it was earned.(351,036)
The net expenses of certain activities of internal service funds are reported within governmental
activities in the statement of activities.56,860
Change in net assets of governmental activities (Statement 2)$2,409,737
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010
Note 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota (the City) was incorporated in 1898. A Council composed of an elected
mayor and four council members governs the City. The Council exercises legislative authority and determines all
matters of policy. The Manager, appointed by the Council, is responsible for the proper administration of all affairs
relating to the City.
The financial statements of the City have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
as applied to governmental units by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The following is a
summary of the significant policies.
A. FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY
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.
The City has two component units - the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and the Economic
Development Authority (EDA). The HRA and the EDA are considered component units because the
governing boards are substantively the same as that of the City and because the City is in a relationship of
financial benefit or burden with each of the entities.
The financial position and results of operations of the HRA and the EDA component units are presented
using the blended method. These blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in
substance, part of the City’s operations. The component units include Governmental Funds using the
modified accrual basis of accounting, and as such are reported as Special Revenue Funds. Separate
financial statements for the HRA and EDA are not prepared.
B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of changes in
net assets) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its
component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these
statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental
revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees
and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a
specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or
segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital
requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not included among program
revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
51
CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds,
even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual
governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund
financial statements.
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT
PRESENTATION
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are
recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of
related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants
and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider
have been met.
The City’s only fiduciary funds are agency funds. Agency funds are custodial in nature and do not involve
measurement of results of operations.
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.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The 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 2008A taxable GO housing improvement area bonds fund was established to account for revenues
and expenditures associated with the 2008A series general obligation taxable bonds issued to finance
rehabilitation of the Sullivan Shores town homes development. These bonds will be repaid with
special assessments to the rehabilitated properties.

Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally
are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary-fund financial statements to the extent that those
standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
Governments also have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type

activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. The City has elected not to follow
subsequent private-sector guidance.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from 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.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services
or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions,
including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than
as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
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, sewer, refuse, storm sewer and liquor enterprise funds and of the internal service funds are charges
to customers for sales and services. Liquor fund sales are reported net of discounts. No other fund
provides discounts. For 2010, liquor sales discounts were $77,795. Operating expenses for enterprise
funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and
depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted
resources first, and then use unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. BUDGETARY DATA
The City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing
on January 1 of the following year. At least one special Council meeting is conducted to obtain public
comments as required by the State Truth in Taxation Law.
The City Council annually adopts budgets prior to January 1 for the General Fund and the following
special revenue funds:
Nonmajor special revenue funds:
Cable television fund
Police community programs fund
Library fund
Community development fund
Economic Development Authority (component unit):
Economic Development Authority administration fund
Housing and Redevelopment Authority (component unit):
Parkview villa north fund
Parkview villa south fund
54
CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010
The budgets are prepared by fund, function and activity. The budgets are adopted on a basis consistent
with generally accepted accounting principles and all appropriations lapse at the end of the budget year to
the extent that they have not been expended. Total expenditures appropriated in the budget resolution may
not legally exceed the estimated revenues available from various sources.
Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year. Budget
revisions between functions or activities may be made by the City Manager. Budget revisions at the fund
level are authorized by the City Council in accordance with the City Charter at the request of the City
Manager. The legal level of budgetary control is therefore at the fund level.
The City does not use encumbrance accounting.
E. CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Cash balances from all funds of the City are pooled and invested to the extent available in authorized
investments. Investments are stated at fair value, based upon quoted market prices. Investment income is
allocated to the individual funds on the basis of applicable cash balance participation by each fund using an
average of monthly beginning cash and investment balances.
The City provides temporary advances to funds that have insufficient cash balances by means of an
advance from another fund shown as interfund receivables in the advancing fund, and an interfund payable
in the fund with the deficit, until adequate resources are received. The interfund balances are eliminated on
the government-wide financial statements.
Investments are stated at fair value, based upon quoted market prices, except for investments in 2a7-like
external investment pools, which are stated at amortized cost. At December 31, 2010, the City had no
investments in 2a7-like external investment pools. Investment income is accrued at the balance sheet date.
F. RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods provided
or services rendered. Short-term interfund loans are classified as “interfund receivables/payables.” All
short-term interfund receivables and payables at December 31 are planned to be eliminated in the
subsequent year. 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.”
Because utility bills are considered liens on property, no estimated uncollectible amounts are established.
Uncollectible amounts are not material for property taxes, special assessments and other receivables, and
have not been reported.

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 7 and December 2 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.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City recognizes property tax revenue in the period for which the taxes were levied. Uncollectible
property taxes are not material and have not been reported.
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 are
recognized as revenue for the current year. Delinquent taxes that are collected by the County by December
31 (remitted to the City the following January) are also recognized as revenue for the current year. All
remaining delinquent taxes receivable in governmental funds are offset by deferred revenue.
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. 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. Proceeds of
sales from tax forfeit properties are allocated first to the County’s costs of administering all tax forfeit
properties. 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.

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.
GOVERNMENTAL FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 that are collected
by the County by December 31 (remitted to the City the following January) are also recognized as revenue
for the current year. All remaining delinquent and deferred special assessments receivable in governmental
funds are offset by deferred revenue.
I. INVENTORIES
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
The original cost of materials and supplies has been recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase.
These funds do not maintain material amounts of inventories. Real estate held for resale is valued at the
lower of cost or estimated net realizable value.
PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Inventories of the Proprietary Funds are stated at cost, which approximates market, using the first-in, first-
out (FIFO) method.
J. PREPAID ITEMS
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as
prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.
K. CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets, which include land, buildings, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, sidewalks,
water systems, sewer systems and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-
type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. The City defines capital assets as
assets with an estimated useful life in excess of one year and an initial individual cost of more than the
following:
Land $1
Buildings 25,000
Equipment 5,000
Infrastructure 250,000
Capitalization Threshold
57
CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010
Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed.
Infrastructure assets acquired prior to June 30, 1980 are not recorded. Donated capital assets are recorded
at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do
not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest
incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the
capitalized value of the assets constructed.
The City implemented GASB Statement No. 51, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Intangible Assets
effective January 1, 2010 which required the City to capitalize and amortize intangible assets. Pursuant to
GASB Statement No. 51, the City was required to retroactively report certain intangible assets. The City
had already accounted for computer software at historical cost and therefore retroactive reporting was not
necessary.
Property, plant and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, is depreciated
using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:
L. COMPENSATED ABSENCES
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits.
All vacation pay and the vested portion of sick pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and
proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only
if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. In accordance
with the provisions of Statement of Government Accounting Standards No. 16, Accounting for
Compensated Absences, no liability is recorded for nonvesting accumulating rights to receive sick pay
benefits.
Typically, resources from the compensated absences fund are used to liquidate the liability for
compensated absences.
M. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements,
long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental
activities, business-type activities or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums and
discounts, as well as issuance costs, are immaterial and are expensed in the year of bond issuance.
Buildings (and building components)10 - 50 years

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well
as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other
financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while
discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld
from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
N. FUND EQUITY
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for amounts not
available for appropriation or legally segregated for a specific future use. Designated fund balances
represent tentative plans for future use of financial resources.
O. INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
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. Interfund loans are reported as an
interfund loan receivable or payable which offsets the movement of cash between funds. All other
interfund transactions are reported as transfers.
P. 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.
Q. COMPARATIVE DATA/RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain comparative total data for the prior year has been presented in the government-wide financial
statements in order to provide an understanding of the changes in the City’s financial position and
operations. Certain amounts presented in the prior year data have been reclassified in order to be
consistent with the current year’s presentation.

1. EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENTAL FUND
BALANCE SHEET AND THE GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between fund balance – total
governmental funds and net assets – governmental activities as reported in the government-wide
statement of net assets. One element of that reconciliation states, “long-term liabilities, including
bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in the
funds.” The details of this ($21,654,629) difference are as follows:
Accrued interest payable ($374,218)
Other postemployment benefits payable (30,661)
Bonds payable (21,249,750)

funds - to arrive at net assets of governmental activities ($21,654,629)
2. EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENTAL FUND
STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE AND
THE GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance includes a
reconciliation between net changes in fund balance – total governmental funds and changes in net
assets of governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement of activities. One
element of that reconciliation states, “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. The difference is the amount by which outlays for capital
assets exceeded depreciation in the current year.” The details of this $1,610,963 difference are as
follows:
Total capital outlay in government fund financial statements $4,559,824
Capital asset contributed to business-type activities (234,668)
Adjustments to the carrying value of real estate held for resale (687,597)

Another element of that reconciliation states, “The issuance of long-term debt provides current
financial resources to the governmental funds, while repayment of the principal of long-term debt
consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction has any effect on
net assets however. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term
debt.” The details of this $765,736 difference are as follows:

C. INVESTMENT RISKS
The City's investment policy follows Minnesota State Statutes described above, which reduce the City's
exposure to credit, custodial credit and interest rate risks. Additional risk information for the City
is as follows:
a) Interest rate risk - Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments could
adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The City's investment policy requires the City to
diversify its investment portfolio to eliminate the risk of loss resulting from over concentration of
assets in a specific maturity. The policy also states the City's investment portfolio will remain
sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably
anticipated.
b) Credit risk - investments - Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment
will be unable to fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. As of December 31, 2010, the
City's investments in the Notes issued by U.S. government agencies were all rated AAA by Standard
& Poor's, and Aaa by Moody's Investors Service. The money market funds in which the City held
shares at December 31, 2010, were not rated, but are invested in U.S. Government Obligations and/or
securities guaranteed by the U.S. government, and those underlying securities are rated AAA by
Standard and Poors and Aaa by Moody’s Investor Service.
c) 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
the City may invest in any one issuer. The table above details the percentage of the City's investments
with each issuer at December 31, 2010.
d) Custodial credit risk – Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a failure of the counterparty,
the City will not be able to recover the value of its investment securities that are in the possession of an
outside party. As of December 31, 2010, investments in securities are held by the City’s three broker-
dealers in the City’s name, with $500,000 of those securities at each broker-dealer insured by SIPC.
Each broker-dealer has provided additional protection by providing additional insurance. This
additional insurance is subject to aggregate limits applied to all of the broker-dealer’s accounts.
Investments in 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.

Note 7 CONDUIT DEBT
From time to time, the City has issued Revenue Bonds to provide financial assistance to private-sector entities for
the acquisition and construction of facilities deemed to be in the public interest. The bonds are secured by the
property financed and are payable solely from private-sector entity revenues. Upon repayment of the bonds,
ownership of the acquired facilities transfers to the private-sector entity served by the bond issuance. The City, the
EDA, and the HRA, are not obligated in any manner for repayment of the bonds. Accordingly, the bonds are not
reported as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.
As of December 31, 2010, there were Revenue Bonds of this type outstanding with an estimated aggregate principal
amount payable of approximately $21,725,000.

Note 9 DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS - STATEWIDE
A. PLAN DESCRIPTION
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City are covered by defined benefit plans administered
by the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). PERA administers the General
Employees Retirement Fund (GERF) and the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF). These are
cost-sharing, multiple-employer retirement plans. These plans are established and administered in
accordance with Minnesota Statute, Chapters 353 and 356.
GERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated Plan members are
covered by Social Security and Basic Plan members are not. The City has no current employees that are
Basic Plan members. All new members must participate in the Coordinated Plan. All police officers and
firefighters who qualify for membership by statute are covered by the PEPFF.
PERA provides retirement benefits as well as disability benefits to members and benefits to survivors upon
death of eligible members. Benefits are established by state statute and vest after three years of credited
service. The defined retirement benefits are based on a member’s highest average salary for any five
successive years of allowable service, age and years of credit at termination of service.
For all PEPFF and GERF members that began service prior to July 1, 1989, a full annuity is available when
age plus years of service equal 90. For these members, benefits are calculated using the greater of the step
rate or level rate formulas. Only the level rate formula applies to members that began service after June 30,
1989. A reduced retirement annuity is available to eligible members seeking early retirement.
There are different types of annuities available to members upon retirement. A normal annuity is a lifetime
annuity that ceases upon the death of the retiree – no survivor annuity is payable. There are also various
types of joint and survivor annuity options available which reduce the monthly normal annuity amount,
because the annuity is payable over joint lives. Members may also leave their contributions in the fund
upon termination of public service in order to qualify for a deferred annuity at retirement age. Refunds of
contributions are available at any time to members who leave public service, but before retirement benefits
begin. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but are not receiving them yet are bound
by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their public service.
PERA issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required
supplementary information for GERF and PEPFF. That report may be obtained by writing to PERA, 60
Empire Drive #200, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55103-1855 or by calling (651) 296-7460 or 1-800-652-9026.

B. FUNDING POLICY
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. These statutes are
established and amended by the state legislature. The City makes annual contributions to the pension plans
equal to the amount required by state statutes. GERF Coordinated Plan members are required to contribute
6.0% of their annual covered salary in 2010. The PEPFF members are required to contribute 9.4% of their
annual covered salary in 2010. The City is required to contribute the following percentages of annual
covered payroll: 7.0% for Coordinated Plan GERF members, and 14.1% for PEPFF members. Employer
contribution rates for the Coordinated Plan GERF members will increase to 7.25% and rates for the PEPFF
members will increase to 14.4% effective January 1, 2011. The City’s contributions for the last three
years, which were equal to the contractually required contributions for each year as set by state statute, are
as follows:

Note 10 DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
A. FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION, PAID ON-CALL DIVISION
The Columbia Heights Fire Department Relief Association is the administrator of a single-employer pension
plan for the paid on-call members of the City of Columbia Heights Fire Department.
Through October 26, 1997, the association operated as a defined benefit plan. Effective October 27, 1997, the
Association amended its by-laws and converted to a defined contribution plan. The pension plan was fully
funded at the time of conversion.
Benefits and contribution requirements are established by the Association’s by-laws and can be amended by the
Association’s Board of Directors with approval from the City. All provisions are within limitations established
by Minnesota statutes.
Type of Benefit. The exclusive pension provided by the Association is a "Defined Contribution Lump Sum
Service Pension" as defined in Minnesota Statutes §424A.02, Subdivision 4.
Contributions Required and Contributions Made. No contributions are required from the plan members or the
City. The plan is funded through state aid, investment income and discretionary contributions from the City.
For 2010, state aid was contributed to the plan. This state aid revenue and the related contribution
expense/expenditure of $66,739 are recognized in the accompanying financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2010.

B. COUNCIL MEMBERS
Certain council members of the City are covered by the Public Employees Defined Contribution Plan (PEDCP),
a multiple-employer deferred compensation plan administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association
of Minnesota (PERA). The PEDCP is a tax qualified plan under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
and all contributions by or on behalf of the employees are tax deferred until time of withdrawal.
Plan benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings, less administrative
expenses. Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353D.03, specifies plan provisions, including the employee and
employer contribution rates for those qualified personnel who elect to participate. An eligible elected official
who decides to participate contributes 5% of salary, which is matched by the elected official’s employer. In
2010, plan members contributed $2,250 and the City contributed $2,250.
Note 11 POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS (OPEB)
A. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The City administers a single-employer defined benefit health care plan (the plan.) By state statute, the plan
provides an implicit rate subsidy for retired participants by allowing retirees under age 65 to purchase health
insurance at the premium rate available to active employees. In addition, by state statute, the plan provides
payment of insurance premiums, up to age 65, for public safety employees that retire with a qualifying
disability, equal to the current employer-paid portion of premiums for an active employee. The employer-paid
portion of premiums for an active employee is determined periodically by negotiation between the City and
collective bargaining units of city employees. The plan does not issue a publicly available financial report.
B. FUNDING POLICY
Participants under the implicit rate subsidy provision are required to contribute 100% of the stated premium
billed by the insurer. For 2010, participants under disabled public safety retiree provision were required to
contribute $0 for single coverage or a portion of the stated premium billed by the insurer for family coverage.
Total 2010 participant contributions were $55,909.
Under both provisions of the plan, the City is only required to contribute on a pay-as-go basis. This amount is
listed below for the current year.
The State of Minnesota, solely at its option, reimburses the City annually for a portion of the City’s costs under
the disabled public safety retiree provision. Historically, these reimbursements have approximated 60% of the
pay-as-go cost of this plan provision. These reimbursements are reported as revenue in the year received,
separate from OPEB expenses/expenditures.

C. ANNUAL OPEB COST AND NET OPEB OBLIGATION
The City’s annual OPEB cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution (ARC) determined by
periodic actuarial studies. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected
to cover the normal cost each year and to amortize the unfunded actuarial liability over a period not to exceed
thirty years. The components of the City’s OPEB cost for the current year and the changes in the City’s net
OPEB obligation to the plan are as follows:
Year Ended December 31, 2010
Annual required contribution$26,267
Interest on net OPEB obligation604

D. FUNDED STATUS AND FUNDING PROGRESS
As of December 31, 2008 (the first and most recent year for which a valuation was required) , the actuarial
accrued liability for benefits was $257,138; all of which was unfunded. Under the actuarial cost method used,
this actuarial accrued liability is not a function of the annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan
(the covered payroll).
Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability
of events far into the future. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as actual results
are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding
progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements,
presents multi-year trend information, beginning in 2008, about the whether the actuarial value of plan assets is
increasing or decreasing over time, relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits.

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010
E. METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS
The projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes is based on the type of benefits provided by the
substantive plan at each valuation date and the historical pattern of sharing benefit costs between the City and
the participants to that point. The methods used include techniques designed to reduce the effects of short-term
volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term
perspective of the calculations. The following methods and simplifying assumptions were used:
Actuarial cost method – Projected unit credit
Actuarial asset valuation method – Not applicable
Amortization of UAAL – Level dollar method over a thirty year closed period
Healthcare cost trend rate – 9% initially, declining to 5% after five years
Inflation rate assumed – less than 5% annual
Investment return assumed – 3% annual
Retirement age assumed - Public safety employees age 52, all others age 62
Turnover rate – based on actual experience for City for the years 2004-2008
Mortality – Life expectancies were based on the 2000 Retired Pensioners Mortality Rates for Male and
Female
Note 12 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters.
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 the actual worker wage base is known and
paid. The amount of premium adjustment, if any, is considered immaterial and not recorded until received
or paid.
Property, casualty and automobile insurance coverage are 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 portions.
These deductibles are considered immaterial to the financial statements.
The City continues to carry commercial insurance for all other risks of loss, including employee health and
disability 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.

B. LITIGATION
The City attorney has indicated that any existing and pending lawsuits, claims and other actions in which
the City is a defendant are either covered by insurance or development agreements; of an immaterial
amount; or, in the judgment of the City attorney, remotely recoverable by plaintiffs.
C. FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDS
Amounts received or receivable from federal and state agencies are subject to agency audit and adjustment.
Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable
funds. The amount, if any, of funds which may be disallowed by the agencies cannot be determined at this
time although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
D. TAX INCREMENT DISTRICTS
The City’s tax increment districts are subject to review by the State of Minnesota Office of the State
Auditor (OSA). Any disallowed claims or misuse of tax increments could become a liability of the
applicable fund. Management has indicated that they are not aware of any instances of noncompliance
which would have a material effect on the financial statements.
E. CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS
The City has entered into several contractual commitments for construction projects that are in process at
yearend. At December 31, 2010, the City’s obligation for such projects was approximately $482,000.
Additionally, under the terms of various tax increment financing agreements, the City has commitments to
reimburse developers for certain qualifying redevelopment costs plus interest. These future
reimbursements are limited however, to the future tax increment received from certain tax increment
districts. The amount to be paid under these agreements is not determinable at this time. The following

ENTERPRISE FUNDS
The authority for these types of funds is derived from Section 69(b) of the City Charter which
allows for Utility or other Public Service Enterprise Funds.
The Enterprise Funds are members of the Proprietary Fund Type category, and, as such, are
accounted for on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues in the Enterprise Funds are
recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when they are incurred.
The Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and/or operated in a
manner similar to private business enterprises or where the governing body has decided that
periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate
for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes.
Water Utility Fund – used to account for revenues and expenses associated with services to area
residents.
Sewer Utility Fund – used to account for revenues and expenses associated with sewer disposal
within the City.
Refuse Utility Fund – used to account for revenues and expenses associated with organized
collection of refuse and recycling in the City.
Storm Sewer Utility Fund – used to account for revenues and expenses associated with storm
water disposal.
Liquor Fund – used to account for revenues and expenses associated with the operation of three
off-sale municipal liquor stores.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing on a cost reimbursement basis of
goods or services provided by one department or agency to other departments or agencies within
the City.
Central Garage Fund – used to account for the costs of operating a maintenance facility for
automotive equipment used by other City departments. Such costs are billed to other
departments at actual cost plus a fixed overhead factor. The automotive equipment itself is
acquired by the various user departments, which are responsible for financing replacement
vehicles as necessary.
Information Systems Fund – used to account for the costs associated with information systems
within the City. All costs are recorded in the fund and are financed by transfers from user
departments.
Insurance Fund – used to account for certain costs of the City’s risk management services and to
build a reserve for catastrophic losses. All costs for premiums, claims and claims administration
are recorded in the fund and allocated to user funds based on a percentage risk factor.
Compensated Absences Fund – used to account for funds that have been set aside by the City
Council for compensated absences earned by employees’ services to the City’s governmental
funds. Funds set aside for the compensated absences earned by employees’ services to the City’s
proprietary funds are recorded directly in each particular proprietary fund.

(A)The category "Other Property" is substantially all commercial/industrial property, plus nomimal amounts of railroad and personal property.
(B)The Metropolitan Fiscal Disparities Act was first implemented for taxes payable in 1975 for the seven Metropolitan counties
of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington. Forty percent of the increase in
commercial-industrial (including public utility) valuation in each assessment district since 1971 is contributed to an area-wide
tax base. Using the factors of population and real property market value, a per capita distribution index is calculated. This
indexisemployedindeterminingwhatproportionofthevaluationshallbedistributedbacktoeachassessmentdistrict.
Note (E)
index is employed in determining what proportion of the valuation shall be distributed back to each assessment district.
( C)The Minnesota Legislature reduced some of the "class rates" used to calculate tax capacity value in fiscal years 1999 and 2001.
This reduced the amount of market value that converts to tax capacity value.
(D)For fiscal year 2002 and subsequent years, the Minnesota Legislature changed the formula by which state aid
to cities was determined, significantly decreasing the annual amount of state aid received by the City of Columbia Heights.
Some of this decrease was offset by the relatively higher City direct tax rates after 2001.
(E)Certain information on the components of tax capacity prior to 2003 is not available.

(A)These property tax rates are stated as a percentage of tax capacity value. Refer to Table 5 for tax capacity value.
Rates are determined by tax district. Within the Anoka County property tax system, the City is an individual tax
district. Thus the City direct rate is an individual rate, and is not comprised of component direct rates.
(B)Overlapping rates are those of local and county governments that apply to property owners within the City. Most,
but not all, overlapping rates apply to all City property owners. For example, although the school and county
property tax rates apply to all City property owners, special district rates apply only to the City property owners
whose property is located within each special district's geographic boundaries.
(C)Special districts include Metropolitan Council, Metropolitan Transit District, Metropolitan Mosquito Control
District, N.E. Metro School District 916, Rice Creek Watershed District, Anoka County Housing and
Redevelopment Authority, Anoka County Regional Rail Authority, County/City Radio, and the Columbia Heights
Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
(D)For fiscal year 2001 and subsequent years, the Minnesota Legislature enacted several provisions which
substantially reduced school district property tax levies, replacing the tax levy funds with state aid.
(E)For fiscal year 2002 and subsequent years, the Minnesota Legislature changed the formula by which state aid to
cities was determined, significantly decreasing the annual amount of state aid received by the City of Columbia
Heights. Some of this decrease was offset by the increase in the City direct tax rate shown above for 2002 and
subsequent years.

(B) Anoka County adjusts the property tax levy adopted by the City Council for certain items. These are primarily
excess tax increment reimbursements and rounding. Abatements or increases of tax to individual taxpayers are not
included in these adjustments.
( C) A portion of each gross property tax levy is paid to the City by the State of Minnesota, and referred to as a credit.
For the year 2001 this is the "Homestead and Agricultural Credit." For the years after 2001, this is the "Market
Value Homestead Credit." These credits are reported in the City's financial statements as intergovernmental revenue.
The remaining levy collections are remitted to the City by Anoka County. The County collections are the only portion
of the property tax levy reported as property tax revenue in the City's financial statements.

The estimated market value of property bears a stong relationship to the debt capacity of the City.
It should be noted however, that in the State of Minnesota, property tax revenue is dependent
on the tax capacity value of property. Tax capacity value is derived from estimated market value by a
set of class rates and other adjustments as determined by the State legislature. The historical relationship
between estimated market value and tax capacity value for property in the City is shown in Table 5.

(A)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
taxpayers 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 taxpayers should be taken into account.
(B)The percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using adjusted taxable net tax capacity values of property,
which is the tax capacity value after adjustments for captured tax increment value and area-wide allocations
(see Table 5) Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of each governmental unit's tax.
capacity value that is within the City's boundaries and dividing it by each unit's total tax capacity value.

Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota is responsible for establishing and
maintaining effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations,
contracts and grants applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we
considered the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota’s internal control over compliance with
requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program to
determine the auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and
to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over
compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of
Columbia Heights, Minnesota’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance 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 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 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.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance 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 deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses. We did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material
weaknesses, as defined above.
Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
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
Columbia Heights, Minnesota as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, and have issued
our report thereon dated June 16, 2011. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming our
opinions on the financial statements as a whole. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards
is presented for the purpose of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and
Budget Circular A-133, Audit of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and
is not a required part of the 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 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 financial statements or to the financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards

SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
For The Year Ended December 31, 2010
SECTION II – FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS
2010-1 Recreational Revenue Documentation
Criteria: Certain documentation needs to be created in the City’s files to substantiate that
proper procedures have been followed when recording recreational revenue.
Condition: Documentation is not created that provides for verifying the completeness of
recreation revenue.
Cause: Not determinable.
Effect: The City does not maintain an audit trail regarding recreational revenue.
Recommendation: In prior years, the City attempted to change procedures to enable
recreation revenue to be reconcilable. However, those changes did not resolve the problem
as planned. We suggest the City continue to develop procedures that will eventually allow
for proper reconciliation.
Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: In 2010, the City developed
additional procedures to address this condition. In 2011, the City plans to more fully implement
and test these additional procedures to determine if they have resolved the condition.

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA
SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
For The Year Ended December 31, 2010
2010-2 Assessment Roll Resolutions
Condition and Criteria: The City Council approved assessment rolls during 2010 by
adopting resolutions 2010-94, 2010-95 and 2010-96. The total amount of the assessments in
resolution 2010-94 and 2010-95 were not included in the body of the resolution.
Cause: Unknown.
Effect: By not including the specific assessment roll information in the body of the
resolution, there is not a sufficient “audit trail,” and there is an increased risk that errors in
implementation of the resolution may occur and not be detected.
Recommendation: We recommend the City strengthen its official record by including all
specific information in the body of the resolution.
Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: In the City’s judgment, its efforts in
2010 to address this condition did increase the percentage of new resolutions that complied with
the auditors’ recommendation, relative to prior years. In 2011, the City will work to further
increase compliance to the level necessary to eliminate the condition.
