CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31. 1976
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The City statements are shoran on both the accrual and modified accrual basis of
accounting. Transactions in the General, Special Revenue, and General Debt
Service funds are recorded on the modified accrual basis, all other funds are
shoc;1n on the accrual basis.
Funds maintained on the modified accrual basis (which is in accordance with
genc:r� ^11y accepted accounting principles, in certain circumstances) are those
funds which record transactions in the following manner;
(a) General property taxes - Revenue is recognized in the year of
anticipated collection;
(b) Interest expense on general bonded indebtedness and special assess-
ment bonds - Interest expense is recorded as an expenditure when
paid; interest is not accrued unless fully matured and not paid;
(c) Interest revenue on special assessments receivable - Interest
revenue is recognized in the year of anticipated collection of the
current principal installment;
(d) Construction contract; -• All contracts are recorded utilizing
encumbrances, with the related expenditures recognized as the
construction is incurred;
(e) Bond and interest payments due January 1 - Expenditures are recog-
nized when amounts are remitted to the fiscal agent (usually in
December) for payment of bonds and interest.
Investments - Investments are carried at cost which approximates market. Invest -
ment re,:anue is recorded as earned and is allocated to the respective funds.
Inventories - Inventories held by the Enterprise,,F'udd are-stated at cost, which
is lower than mark.et�ar
Property and equipment - Enterprise Funds - The property and equipment of the
Liquor Operating Fund are stated at cost. depreciation has been provided using
th.c so_aight -line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The
property and equipment of the [dater and Sewer Operating Funds are not recorded
by the City, consequently, depreciation is not recorded as an operating expense.
This is not in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
General. Long -term Debt - The general long -term liabilities, except for enterprise
and special. assessment funds, are not carried as a liability of a fund, but
rather are set up in a separate self-balancing group of accounts known as the
"general long; -term debt group of accounts ".
42
Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)
Note 2 - General Fixed Assets
' Cen- -oral fixed assets owned by the City are not included in the financial statements
since records thereof are not maintained. Generally accepted accounting principles
require their inclusion in the financial statements.
Note 3 - Water and Sewer Fund Property and Equipment_
The property and equipment of the Water and Sewer Funds are not included in the
financial statements since records thereof are not maintained. Depreciation has
consequently t ?.ot-t been recorded. The a,,iouat by which the financial statements
would chango if these items were included cannot be detter:?lined. This omission
is not in agr:erent with generally accepted accoutILIng principles.
Note 4 _ Metropolitan Waste Control Commissi.rnz
The receivable and corresponding reserve of the Sewer Operating Fungi'_ from the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission represents the City's share of equity in
the City's and Minneapolis "sewer sysizems which t7ere acquired by the Commission
' January 1., 1971. This receivable will. be paid tc, the City by issuing
annually through 1999, against future sev(�r billings from the Commission. T',.ies��
credits will be reflected in the statement- of income as received.
' Note 5 _ Pension Fun(!, _ Deficits
The City _ganually :levies taxes for the terr.efit of tI)e 'Poli-ce and Firemen's relied
' associations which are pension funds for tito� .restpective department employe�es.
Prior to 1972 full funding was not requi.reet ar_o. most municipal 1, v;.es ?a• >r ,
' insufficient to provide full funding for these. funds. As a resul.i: , the
liabilities became:
' Date of last
actuarial survey
July 31, 1973 Police Relies Association $80',.35
December 31, 1974 Firemen's Relief Association
State 'law now requires that municipalities levy t.ases annually in such a,t aacM,t a.s
wi_ -il freeze the deficit by 1980. To comi,ly with this requiremYnt the City ire 1977
will provide $66,300 for the Police Relief Association and $47,000 for the Firemen's
Relief_ Association.
Note 6 - Retirement Plan
The City participates in a state- -wide contributory pension plan under the Public
Employees' Reti.reraent Associ.atinTI, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353, which coves all
employees except certain volice, zir.e, temporary arrd seasonal employees. Th^ Yy'

The City Council

Columbia Heights, Minnesota 55421
Gentlemen:
During the course of our examination, we make certain observations which we feel
will be of interest to you,, These observations, of course, refer only to those
areas to which our audit work extended. -
It is our responsibility to comment on the internal control of operations.
Internal control is defined as the segregation of duties so that no one employee
has complete control over an entire transaction. Good internal. control suggasts
that the work of one employee becomes an automatic check on the work of another
employee.
The comments which follow are not criticisms of the present system, but rather
suggestions for improvement based upon both our experience and our observations
of similar situations in other governmental entities.
INTERNAL CONTROL AND RELATED MATTERS
Property Ledger 0
The City does not maintain a property ledger on its furniture and equipment.
Such a ledger can be useful for insurance purposes and for protection against
loss from pilferage. Effective control can be maintained by taking a physical
inventory annually and comparing assets with items listed in the ledger.
Identification would be made easier by affixed, prenumbered tags to the property,
with the tag numbers listed with the corresponding item in the ledger. Progress
has been made toward development of a complete ledger system, but it has not
been completed,
Utility Plant and Equipment
The City staff is in the process of setting up records of the utility plant
and equipment which includes the water and sewer distribution and collection
systems. This project_ was not completed in time for the utility systems to be
included in the 1976 audit report, when the project is completed the utility
system will be included in future audit reports. 4

Liquor Operations
Checks that are returned from the bank as N.S.F. or for other reasons are
redeemed by the store manager for cash from the change funds This reduces the
effective amount of the change fund. We feel better control would be established
over these items if all checks being returned by the bank were charged against
a special check clearing account.
During our count of cash at the Central Avenue store, we noted that there were
$70 in loans made to a customer and an employee. This situation was brought to
the attention of Mr, Watson. We understand the practice has ceased.
Cash overages and shortages increased significantly during 1976, A review of
the account showed several large shortages occurred. The liquor store employees
should be instructed as to the importance of properly recording sales and making
change. Any large cash shortages should be investigated.
We suggest that someone, not connected with the Liquor store operations, make
periodic surprise cash counts of the change funds.
OTHER MATTERS
During 1976, General Fund revenues exceeded expenditures by $298,501. Actual
revenues exceeded the budget estimate by $182,030 and expenditures were less
than the budget estimate by $115,766. The fund balance was $591,399 at
December 31, 1976, an increase of $298,501 over the December 31, 1975 balance.
The fund balance of $591,399 represents approximately 23% of the 1977 budget.
Special Revenue Funds
The City has separate funds to account for civil defense, State-aid maintenance
and CETA. These activities could be accounted for within the General Fund.
Council should consider consolidatir_g these funds into the General Fund.
We would be pleased to discuss these suggestions further with you and assist with
any changes you may wish to make. We also wish to express our thanks for the
courtesy and assistance extended to us during the course of our examination.
