INTRODUCTION
6 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
City Manager’s Message
I am pleased to present you the 2022-2023 biennial budget for the City of Edina. This budget is the culmination of
hundreds of hours of work by City employees, advisory commissioners and City Council Members. The budget is
built on the priorities of our City Council, which is based on their interactions with Edina’s residents, business
owners and taxpayers. Allocating public financial resources for specific city government services, programs and
projects is an most important policy statement from your elected and appointed city government officials. The
budget for 2022-2023 continues traditional city service levels in areas such as environmental protection, recreation
programming, building inspections, and public facilities maintenance, while ramping up service levels in public health,
emergency medical services, police protection, and street maintenance.
The City Council establishes the priorities for the biennial city budget through their interactions with residents, by
using informational tools such as bettertogetheredina.org and the biennial Quality of Life Survey, and by
collaborating with City staff on best practices and performance measures. The City Council’s priorities are also
instrumental in driving the City staff’s production of work plans designed to accomplish the City Council’s policy
priorities. The staff create fiscal projections for the work plans, which eventually become the primary outline of
our 2022-2023 City Budget. The work plans are where the budget becomes real and where priorities become
changes and improvements in the community.
Edina weathered the COVID-19 pandemic by meeting its many challenges directly. The sacrifices and
compromises that were necessary to get through our 2020-2021 budget period will help us achieve success in our
2022- 2023 City Budget and work plans. City officials will continue to do our best to lead and follow in a manner
that is responsive to our residents and elected officials on our City Council with the goal of sustaining our high
quality of life for Edina residents.
Scott H. Neal, City Manager
7 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
The 2022-2023 budget details the key priorities of City Council (pages 19-28) and the resources dedicated to achieve
results for Edina residents. The City strives to provide increased accountability and transparency into City operations
through the budget document itself. This budget is organized by fund and by department (pages 187-198). The fund
level section shows all expenditures by department and type. The departmental organization (pages 65-183) gives
insight into the types of services and programs that each one delivers, the departmental goals - in support of the City-
wide goals, and performance measures. The performance measures assist in identifying effectiveness of services and
programs. Many of the performance measures are based on the Quality of Life Survey that is administered every-other
year.
The budget document includes more than the numbers. This document is also a tool for communicating the City’s
service driven response to the needs of the community. The 2022-2023 biennial budget was adopted in an environment
of pandemic uncertainty, with respect to the virus itself and its impact on the economy, our residents and community.
However, Edina faces this challenging environment with a solid foundation of a strong, diverse and growing economy,
with an estimated market value of $13.8B in 2022. This strength is recognized by the rating agencies, who have
awarded the City with Aaa/AAA bond ratings.
Against this backdrop, the 2022-23 biennial budget aims to respond to uncertainty by focusing on public safety,
preserving and enhancing our strong local economy, keeping the City’s capital assets in good working order, preparing
the community for climate change, and investing in City employees. This focus is in support of the four budget pillars:
Strong Foundation, Livable City, Reliable Service, and Better Together.
Specific changes in the 2022-23 budget from 2021 include:
•Increasing public safety staffing.
•Promoting additional tree protection and planting by adding a position to the Forestry Division.
•Providing faster responses to public information requests and more dedicated support to elections
management.
•Strengthening attention to environmental protection and community infrastructure with street sweeping.
•Enhancing community pandemic recovery efforts by directing Federal, State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds
from the ARPA to the members of our community most impacted by the pandemic.
•Investing in additional information technology to ensure secure, reliable systems that protect against threats.
•Beginning conversion of street reconstruction funding from special assessments on property owners to a tax
levy.
•Continuing capital improvement and equipment levies to preserve the City’s assets and replace equipment at
the end of its useful life.
•Providing competitive employee compensation and benefits to attract and retain a skilled and high-
performing workforce.
Executive
Summary
8 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
The City’s consolidated annual budget is $140M and consists of diverse revenue sources, including taxes, license and
permit fees, sales from the business-like enterprises, and grants from federal and state governmental agencies.
The City’s governmental funds tend to be an area of high visibility, as it includes the City’s property tax levy. The City
levies for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund, Construction Fund, and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority

Highlights
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Comparing property taxes across jurisdictions is
difficult due to differences in the tax base, growth and
development status, and the quantity and quality of
services delivered. However, we believe Edina
compares favorably according to surrounding cities,
which tend to share many similarities with Edina. The
comparison chart here shows what the buyer of a
$400,000 home would pay to each city in annual taxes
if the buyer chose to live in that city.
The City receives 22% of property taxes paid by residents. The remainder is distributed to the Edina School
District, Hennepin County, and other taxing districts.

Finance, IT, and Risk Management) that are provided to all city departments. Internal services is how we
allocated the expenses to each department that benefits from these key business functions.

GOALS & PROCESS
14 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
The City of Edina operates under the Council-Manager form of government. Policy-making and legislative authority are vested
in a City Council (Council) consisting of the Mayor and four other members, all elected on a non-partisan basis. The Council is
responsible, among other things, for adopting the budget, approving ordinances, appointing committees and hiring the City
Manager. Council Members serve four-year terms, with two Council members elected every two years. The Mayor also
serves a four-year term. The Mayor and Council are elected at large.
The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the Council and for overseeing the day-to-day
operations of the City government. Edina is organized into six “operating” departments and four “supporting” departments.
The primary function of operating departments is to provide direct services to the public. The primary function of supporting
departments is to manage City-wide initiatives, coordinate resources across departments, and help departments meet their
service-goals in alignment with organizational strategy.
Organizational
Highlights
15 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
In the City of Edina, the operating budget is part of a comprehensive approach to performance management. The
principles of this performance system are outlined below:
PERFORMANCE SYSTEM PRINCIPLES
Systemic
Strategic objectives play an integral role in leadership decision-making, organization
planning and resource allocation.
Reflects Community
Goals
Community input is gathered to determine desired community goals and outcomes.
These goals are captured in a strategic plan that serves as the anchor for the
performance management system.
Aligned at All Levels
The City’s departmental plans/programs reflect community goals. Departments work
cooperatively across functional lines to achieve key outcomes. Employees understand
how their work ties to City’s mission, vision and strategy.
Outcome-Based
Success is measured through performance measures that tie as closely as possible to
customer outcomes. Performance data becomes an important factor in future planning.
Drives Budget
Resources are allocated according to strategic priorities. Successful programs, as
determined through performance measures, receive more resources.
Organizational
Performance
Edina has three critical sources of strategic guidance used to inform the creation of a two-year city-wide Budget Work
Plan and operating budget: Vision Edina, the Comprehensive Plan, and the Capital Improvement Plan.
16 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
VISION EDINA
Vision Edina is a long-term strategic framework that helps our community understand and guide the important decision
-making that will impact Edina’s future. Vision Edina was developed through a broad-based and inclusive community
visioning process conducted in 2014. This framework lays out the City’s vision and mission.
Vision: Edina holds a well-earned reputation as a city of choice. It is the model of a successful, mature, and
progressive urban community, that strives to lead in a modern and evolving world. We maintain our heritage and
attractiveness, and afford our residents the highest quality of life, while actively embracing the future. The features that
define our future community include:
Inclusive and Connected • Built-to-Scale Development • Sustainable Environment
Community of Learning • Future-Oriented
Mission: To provide effective and valued public services, maintain a sound public infrastructure, offer premier public
facilities and guide the development and redevelopment of lands, all in a manner that sustains and improves the health
and uncommonly high quality of life enjoyed by our residents and businesses.
ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan is meant to provide Edina with an outline for future development. Edina’s Comprehensive
Plan includes chapters on land use, transportation, wastewater, water supply, storm water management, housing and
parks and recreation. The Metropolitan Council requires every city in the seven-county metro area to have such a
plan and State law requires that it be updated every 10 years. Edina updated its Comprehensive Plan in 2018 and
2019. The process, established by the Edina City Council, included regular work sessions by the Planning
Commission Comp Plan Task Force, large-group public meetings, smaller community meetings in specific areas of the
City, listening sessions, intergenerational dialogue with residents and other stakeholders, as well as opportunity for
comment on the City’s website.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
In addition to pursuing the strategic focus areas outlined in Vision Edina, the City plans for more routine capital
maintenance and improvements by preparing a capital improvement plan (CIP). The CIP represents a framework for
planning the preservation and expansion of infrastructure, facilities, equipment and technology while at the same time
advancing towards our long-term vision. The CIP is the first step towards estimating the schedule, cost and sources of
revenues to pay for high priority projects. More information regarding the City’s CIP can be found on page 62.

ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE
BUDGET PILLARS
The City of Edina has four on-going budget pillars:
1. City infrastructure, facilities, technology, and equipment meets community needs now and in the future.
2. City services enhance the safety, wellbeing, and quality of life experienced in Edina.
3. City planning fosters healthy, connected, sustainable development that enriches the lives of current and
future residents.
4. City government fosters an inclusive, informed and engaged community. These four pillars guide the
budget making process, including the budget work plan.
20 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE
Pillar 1: City infrastructure, facilities, technology, and equipment
meets community needs now and in the future.
Infrastructure serves as the foundation for providing core city services such as transportation, clean drinking
water, sanitary sewer services, and flood protection. City facilities house the people and equipment that provide
public services, and the shared right of way, public places and parks are where people come together. Technology
and equipment support our ability to provide reliable service day to day or in emergencies.
Strong Foundation Objectives
Capital assets and infrastructure systems are managed to minimize risk and sustain service levels to be safe
and reliable.
Infrastructure design reduces risk of flooded structures, improves water quality (drinking and surface), and
increases filtered drinking water production.
Facilities, infrastructure assets, and equipment are maintained and replaced at the most cost effective time to
prevent emergency repair and avoid service disruptions.
Integrated project scope and decision-making processes partner with customers, stakeholders, and related
City services to deliver best value projects that stand the test of time.
Implement effective technology systems to easily maintain and locate data for the public and provide better
data for informed decision-making by elected officials and staff.
Create and manage secure and reliable technology systems that are protected against deliberate misuse and
work when they are needed most, at times of emergency or natural hazard.
21 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE
Pillar 2: City services enhance the safety, wellbeing, and
quality of life experienced in Edina.
City services including police, fire, inspections, water/sewer, and streets are critical to the safety of the community.
Parks, recreational facilities, and other City programs enhance the overall quality of life for those who live, work, and
visit Edina. The City recognizes that a skilled and engaged workforce is critical for the delivery of high-quality services.
The City needs to recruit and retain a strong workforce with the necessary skills, tools, and resources to accomplish
the work.
Reliable Service Objectives
•City facilities and property provide a safe and secure environment for employees and visitors.
•Appropriate and equitable response times effectively prioritize health and safety.
•Staffing, tools, equipment, resources, and training are aligned to meet expectations for service delivery.
•An engaging and respectful work culture values employee quality of life, physical and mental-wellbeing, and
work/life balance.
•Competitive employee compensation, benefits, and practices attract and retain a skilled and high-performing
workforce.

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT & MANAGEMENT ANNUAL BUDGET ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE
Pillar 3:
City planning fosters healthy, connected, sustainable development that
enriches the lives of current and future residents.
Ensuring a vibrant city requires forward thinking and preparation. Affordable, walkable neighborhoods that foster
mobility and interconnectedness improve the quality of life for current and future residents. Reducing the
community’s greenhouse gas emissions and responding to climate change through adaptive management of natural
assets such as trees, greenspace, and water is critical to the health of future generations.
Livable City Objectives
• Neighborhoods, businesses, and open spaces are connected with multi-modal transportation options.
• Installation of sidewalks and shared-use paths continues to connect neighborhoods per long-term strategies (e.g.,
Twin Loops implementation).
• There are a variety of housing options available for different incomes and life stages.
• Edina’s Climate Action Plan is implemented to meet climate mitigation and adaptation metrics.
• Edina community members can easily access broad-band from home, work, or transit-connected public places.
• Residents and workers can easily access City resources to ensure clean, safe housing and workplaces.
• Residents can safely and enjoyably access a park or open green space within a short walk from home.

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT & MANAGEMENT ANNUAL BUDGET ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE
Pillar 4: City government fosters an inclusive, informed and engaged
community.
The City wants to ensure that it works for all of the community. An inclusive and engaged community is one where
everyone feels welcome, has equitable access to government, and has a voice in decisions that affect them. City
government works best when residents are informed and have meaningful opportunities for engagement that include a
variety of diverse perspectives. The City will continue to learn and adapt to the multiple needs of all in the community,
while consistently applying an equity lens in all decisions and interactions.
BETTER TOGETHER OBJECTIVES
City Council, City staff, and members of the community treat each other with professionalism and respect.
• Residents can easily find and access information that affects them.
• Inclusive engagement methods provide a variety of ways for the public to participate in the decision-making process
and ensure all voices are heard and ensure the decision to be made and decision-making process is clearly defined.
o Individuals understand how and when they can participate.
o The City communicates what feedback is used and why.
o Residents are satisfied with the process, even if they disagree with the outcome.
• City government representatives, volunteers, and staff reflect the diversity of the people it serves.
• There is ongoing evaluation of City policies and practices to ensure they are equitable regardless of an individual’s
race, color, national origin, creed, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, economic status, or other
protected classes.

29 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
Budget
Process
The City implemented a two-year budget cycle beginning with the 2012-2013 operating budget. The objective is to take
an alternating year approach to the operating budget and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) processes. While both the
operating budget and CIP will be reviewed every year, the majority of the planning, focus and effort will alternate
between the two.
During odd-numbered years, the City’s focus is on the operating budget. Extra efforts by staff members are dedicated
to examining operating budgets and ensuring that they are sustainable and able to meet the goals of the City. The two-
year operating budget that is created during odd-numbered years will take effect on Jan. 1 of the following even-
numbered year. The CIP is reviewed, but only updated if necessary. The City’s long-range plan is updated during this
time as well.
During the spring and summer of 2021, the Finance Department worked with all City departments to create a budget
that was reflective of the goals and priorities that the City Council identified earlier in the year. During these meetings,
input was provided on trends and issues happening within each department and the City overall, especially as they
relate to the operating budgets of each City department.
During even-numbered years, the City’s focus will be on the CIP. Extra efforts are dedicated to reviewing the projects
in the CIP and prioritizing them based on information available at the time. The operating budget is reviewed, but only
updated if necessary. If an amendment is needed to the budget it is presented to the City Council for approval.

COMMUNITY PROFILE
32 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
Edina began as a small farming and milling community settled by Irish and Scottish families in the mid 1800s near
Minnehaha Creek. At that time, the area was part of Richfield Township, but in 1888, the residents voted to separate
from Richfield Township and incorporate as the Village of Edina.
The City is now a fully developed first-ring suburb of Minneapolis. The City occupies a land area of 16 square miles and
serves a population of just over 50,000 residents. Currently, 98 percent of the City is developed. Its first major period
of growth occurred in the 1950s as residents and businesses looked to move into suburban neighborhoods. The late
1960s and early 1970s were another significant period of growth. Today, the City is in a period of “redevelopment” as
aging structures (both commercial and residential) are being replaced with newer structures that better suit the needs
of today’s businesses and residents. Approximately 59 percent of Edina’s land area is attributed to developed
residential neighborhoods, 12 percent to commercial/industrial uses, 16 percent parks and open space with the
remainder used for local, county and state roadways.
Many major highways run through or are close to Edina, making it readily accessible to all within the Minneapolis
metropolitan area. Edina is a short, 15-minute drive from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
The City provides a full range of public services, including police and fire protection; ambulance service; construction
and maintenance of highways, streets, and other infrastructure; water and sewer services; and recreational and cultural
activities and events.

MARKET VALUE OF PROPERTY: LAST 10 FISCAL YEARS
Although the City has been nearly fully developed and borders haven't changed for many years, total market value of
properties in the City has grown. Like many communities, property values dropped somewhat after 2009, but the drop
in Edina was not as severe as many other places. Residential and commercial redevelopment in recent years has
contributed to the increase in the total market value of Edina.
a Property in the City is assessed annually. Assessed value is equal to market value, although taxable value may be different, as shown.
The City receives reports from Hennepin County showing total market value, but not separated by property classification.

BUDGET SUMMARY
40 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
CITY OF EDINA FUND ACCOUNTING
The City is required to account for revenues and expenditures in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) in the United States of America as applied to governmental units by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB). GAAP allows the City to set up different funds for different purposes. The City of Edina uses
two different types of funds; governmental and proprietary.
The relative size of an individual governmental fund is assessed based on its proportionate share of different financial
statement elements. If those financial statement elements are quantitatively significant, the City is required to report
the fund as a “major” fund. The City may also choose to evaluate qualitative factors to present additional funds as
“major” even when they don’t meet the quantitative definition. Edina currently has 9 major funds.
All of the following funds are appropriated.

TRANSFERS
Interfund transfers allow the City to reallocate assets to the funds where those assets can be used to achieve desired
outcomes. In Edina, excess income generated by the three municipal liquor stores has historically been transferred to
other funds and reinvested in the community. This tradition is expected to continue through 2023, as shown on the
next two pages.
Budgeted transfers in 2022 include:
1. $3M in total transfers out of the Construction Fund to the Debt Service Fund to provide financing for principal and
interest payments for special assessment bonds and equipment certificates.
2. $1M in total transfers from the Liquor Fund to Braemar Arena, Edina Art Center and Centennial Lakes Park to
help finance the operation of these funds.
3. Within the Utilities Fund is the $100,000 transfer to the Construction Fund as well as utility contributions to the
various City properties. To track the total cost of a facility, utilities are charged to city-owned facilities, but used
for informational purposes only and money is not moved from those funds to the Utilities Fund.

it is for informational purposes only and money is not moved from those funds to the Utilities Fund.
In addition to budgeted transfers, the City Council will periodically authorize interfund transfers mid-year. The most
common example of this is when the General Fund has an unassigned fund balance at year-end, according to the Fund
Balance Policy. Typically, this amount is known when the annual audit is finished around June, and the process to reach
a decision on where to allocate this money starts then. The Fund Balance Policy also states that, to the extent possible,
such excess funds should be transferred to the Construction Fund to support capital improvements and equipment.
In October 2021, the City Council approved the transfer of $4.5M of 2020 surplus to the Construction Fund ($4.2M)
and the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority ($300k) for housing assistance.

LEGAL DEBT MARGIN
Minnesota laws limit the amount of debt the City may issue to 3% of the assessor’s market value of the City’s tax base.
The assessor’s 3% market value less net debt is referred to as the legal debt margin. The following table shows the
legal debt margin at December 31, 2020.
According to this calculation, the City has the ability to issue over $349M in additional debt before reaching the
statutory limit. This level of capacity to issue new debt means that the City is in a secure financial position. Edina
currently holds a triple A bond rating from both Moody’s and S&P.
The City had four types of bonded debt outstanding on Dec. 31, 2020: general obligation (GO) bonds, special
assessment bonds, public project revenue bonds and enterprise revenue bonds.
GO bonds are payable from general property taxes. The special assessment bonds include permanent improvement
revolving (PIR) bonds that are payable from special assessments with any deficiency to be provided for by general
property taxes. Public project revenue bonds are payable from annual appropriation lease payments received from the
City pursuant to a lease between the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority and the City. Enterprise revenue
bonds are payable primarily from revenue from the City’s enterprise facilities with any deficiency to be provided for by
general property taxes.
Edina’s long-term debt is segregated between the amounts to be repaid from governmental activities and amounts to
be repaid from business-type activities in the table on the following page, which projects changes in debt levels for the
next two years.

The City of Edina has diverse sources of revenue. The City collects property taxes, franchise taxes and tax-increments,
which combined represent 41% of the City’s annual revenue. Property taxes account for $45.4M and $48M of the
City’s budgeted revenue in 2022 and 2023, respectively. The many parks enterprise facilities in the City generate
revenue, in addition to the Utility Fund and Liquor Fund. Special assessments and licenses and permits also contribute
to the City’s revenue. Other sources include aid from federal and state government agencies, police fines, investment
income, ambulance charges, park rentals and program registrations, donations, advertising sales, revenue earned from
providing dispatch services to other communities, and many others.
Budget
Factors
The City of Edina currently enjoys a favorable economic environment and local indicators point to continued stability.
The region, noted for strong retail and professional sectors, has enjoyed considerable redevelopment in recent years
and the employment base is populated with a healthy combination of retail, professional and light industrial businesses.
Because of that , the City does not rely solely on a single sector of employment and is able to weather fluctuations in
national and international economic changes better than most municipalities.
Following is a discussion of the City’s total revenues and expenses and key budget considerations. This is directly fol-
lowed by further narrative on the City’s economic outlook which contributes to the overall stability of the budget.

Edina's Revenue Sources
51 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
BUDGET FACTORS
Special assessments— Includes assessments levied against benefitting properties for various infrastructure
improvements and street reconstruction projects. Historically, benefitting properties have been assessed the full cost
of the street repairs. In 2021, the City Council approved an amendment to the City’s Special Assessment Policy to
phase out assessments over a 16 year period in favor of a tax levy. 2022 is the first year of this new levy. The City’s
Utility Fund typically pays for costs related to underground water and sewer infrastructure as well as curbs and
gutters.
Enterprise operating revenue—This is the largest source of City revenue. However, there are many smaller
sources of revenue that contribute to this category. The largest part of enterprise operating revenue ($27.6M in 2022)
comes from the utility fees for sale of water, sewer, stormwater and recycling services. The second largest part is
sale of “off-sale” liquor sales at the three municipally owned liquor stores, which are budgeted to combine for
$15.1M in annual sales in 2022. Operating revenue is also collected at the Aquatic Center ($1.1M), Braemar Golf
Course ($4.5M), Braemar Ice Arena ($2.6M), Art Center ($500K), Edinborough Park ($1.4M) and Centennial Lakes
Park ($820K). The City’s financial advisor prepared an update to a 2018 long-term rate study in 2021 that
recommends 5% annual increases to water and sewer rates, and an 8% increase to storm sewer rates in 2022. The
rate increases are primarily to cover increasing costs of rebuilding, maintaining, and improving existing infrastructure.
The stormwater increases at a higher rate to better align with increased capital costs associated with the storm sewer
system. These increases will ensure that Enterprise Funds are maintained in a healthy and sustainable manner.

Edina License and Permit History
Actual Budget
Licenses and permits—License and permit revenue is historically one of the most volatile revenue categories for
the City, so the City’s practice has been to budget for this revenue conservatively. License and permit revenue is col-
lected primarily from builders and developers for residential or commercial building projects, but also includes smaller
amounts for a variety of City-issued licenses, including liquor licenses, restaurant licenses, etc. The chart below shows
the history of license and permit revenue collected in the General Fund. Budget was $5M for 2020/21, increased to
$5.4M for 2022/23.
52 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
Federal & State Aid – To respond to and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, the City received and spent
$3.9M in federal CARES Act funding in 2020. In 2021, the federal Treasury Department allocated the City $4.9M
from the American Rescue Plan Act’s (ARPA) State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. At the time of the 2022
budget development, the City had not yet approved a spending plan for this allocation; therefore, the $4.9M is not
represented in the financial reports included in this budget document. In September 2021, City Council approved a
spending plan of approximately $2.5M, or 50% of the City’s total allocation, for spending in the priority spending
areas provided by the federal government, including: supporting public health response, addressing the negative
economic impacts cause by the public health emergency, serving the hardest-hit groups in our community, and
investing in broadband access. The City anticipates receiving the other half of the ARPA allocation in mid-2022.
Fine & Forfeitures – For the 2022/23 budget, the fines & forfeiture budget has been reduced $300k to be
comparable with 2020/21 collections.
Transfers – In April 2020, City Council approved the creation of the Budget Stabilization Fund to offset any
potential budget shortfalls from COVID-19. This fund was created from prior year budget surplus amounts.

Salary & Benefits – Salary and benefits combined increase an average of 5% annually. This includes changing cost in
health insurance and a competitive compensation package to attract and retain skilled staff. The budgeted salary
increase is 2% and 3% for 2022 and 2023, respectively. However, the City is not immune to staffing shortages and
increasing hourly wages in the market as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and therefore, has budgeted for
additional increases to hourly wages to be a competitive employer in the market.
Cost of goods for resale – The COVID-19 pandemic has touched so many areas of the organization including the
cost of inventory. Product costs have increased due to availability from shipping delays, staffing shortages impacting
availability of delivery drivers, and cost of raw ingredients in the final product. It is unclear how long product
shortages, staffing shortages and inflationary prices may continue. For 2021, the City did not pass on any price
increases at the liquor stores, but price increases will be needed to maintain profitability and support of other Parks
and Recreation enterprise funds.
On the Horizon
Local Option Sales Tax – The City of Edina received state legislative approval to propose using a Local Option
Sales Tax to fund infrastructure improvements at parks with regional significance. In November 2022, Edina residents
will vote on whether to impose a local sales tax to raise revenue and authorize the City to issue bonds supported by
the sales tax revenue to fund approximately $40M of improvements at Fred Richards Park and Braemar Park and
Arena.
BUDGET FACTORS
54 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
Major industries with headquarters or divisions within Edina include MHealth Fairview Southdale Hospital, Southdale
Center and Galleria regional malls, BI Worldwide, Lund Food Holdings and Edina Realty. Edina’s robust business
community is based in three primary nodes: 50th & France, Greater Southdale and a professional/industrial district
adjacent to Highway 100. Numerous employers in the medical, retail, service, manufacturing and distribution industries
are located in Edina. Edina is home to approximately 50,000 jobs that are expected to remain stable over the coming
years. The City also contains at least 2.5M square feet of retail space plus an amount more than twice that of general
commercial and industrial space.
As shown below, the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development estimates that Edina’s
unemployment rates are consistently lower than state and national rates. Except for the unprecedented spike in 2020
due to COVID-19, Edina’s unemployment rate has remained under 4% since mid-2013 (not seasonally adjusted).

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
In addition to commercial and industrial redevelopment, the City of Edina continues to remain relevant and desirable to
current and new residents. Edina has long been known for its residential housing stock, attractive neighborhoods and
high quality of life. Although the emphasis has changed over the years from exclusively single-family housing to a more
balanced mix of single and multi-family housing types, the City’s concern for overall quality in residential development
remains a top priority. The below chart shows the number of inspections and the related permit valuation:
Property values in Edina were more
stable than much of the rest of the
state and country during the past
several years. While the total
market value and tax capacity began
to fall around 2009, the declines
were more moderate compared to
some other communities. Beginning
in 2013, the values trend in the other
direction, with continued increases
estimated through 2022 according to
the preliminary tax capacity reports
from Hennepin County.

Tax capacity is a unique property taxing system that is equivalent to multiplying the taxable market value of a property
by its relevant class rate. The local tax rate of a taxing jurisdiction is determined by dividing the jurisdiction’s levy by
the jurisdiction’s taxable net tax capacity. Rates often move in the opposite direction of tax capacity as shown in the
chart above. Edina’s tax capacity rate is the lowest among our geographical neighboring communities.
The City’s tax capacity has grown in recent years and is expected to grow in the coming years. The net tax capacity
for the City of Edina grew by 2.8% from 2020 to 2021 and 7.6% from 2021 to 2022 after adjusting for tax–increment
valuation and fiscal disparities contribution and distribution. The estimated market value of the City of Edina increased
by 3.6% and 3.4% during the same time periods, from $12.9B in 2020 to $13.8B in 2022. This growth in estimated
market value and the tax capacity of Edina can be primarily attributed to redevelopment activities taking place in the
Southdale area, the decertification of the Southdale 2 TIF District, and several large scale multi-family residential
redevelopment projects.
A major source of revenue for the City of Edina directly related to economic conditions is the receipt of licenses and
permits from builders and developers of residential and commercial buildings. The City budgets conservatively due to
the volatile nature of the revenue source. Since 2016, the City has budgeted an average of $5M annually for license
and permit revenue. Actual revenue has historically exceeded the budgeted amount. The City has budgeted an
increase of 4% for 2022.
Like most large employers, the City buys many types of insurance; including property, auto, liability, worker’s
compensation, and health insurance. And, insurance coverage and benefits provided to employees are a significant
budget driver for the city. As such, the City periodically surveys the market to ensure the rates paid are competitive
for the coverage and services expected. However, in areas like health insurance, every provider is raising prices and all
employers are experiencing similar price pressures. The City mitigates some of the pressure by purchasing health
insurance together with a group of other cities to increase collective purchasing power. Also, the City shares the cost
of health insurance with our employees, who sometimes must make contributions to their monthly premiums,
depending on their benefit selections.

Long-Term Tax Levy Projection
The ten-year budget model was built to assist in long-term strategic planning and to detect any future structural
funding and property tax levy fluctuations. The property tax levy does not support the proprietary funds; thus,
proprietary funds are excluded from this projection. A separate rate study is performed every three years which
builds a projection for the utility funds. As with any forecast, it is built upon assumptions and new news will change
the future actual budgets.
This section looks at the property tax levy projections and the assumptions made in developing these projections.
Revenues
Licenses & Permits are dependent upon construction and remodeling projects in the community. Building permit
revenue has been strong in the past five years; however, a downturn in the economy could significantly impact this
line item. The 2022 budget for total General Fund licenses and permits is $5.4M and is conservatively held flat in
future years.
Other revenues (e.g., franchise fees, fines & forfeitures, etc.) are expected to remain relatively flat and are
projected at 0% growth.
Construction Fund levy is comprised of three pieces – capital improvement, equipment replacement for General
Fund departments and the new Street Special Levy.
Capital Improvement — The City is focused on maintaining its existing buildings and
infrastructure. In order to increase funding to keep the City’s existing infrastructure in good
working order, City Council has agreed to increase the Construction fund tax levy as capital
project debt levies expire. This will increase the capital improvement budget from $300k in
2019 to $4M in 2029 and out years.
Equipment Levy — The equipment replacement levy is projected at a 5% annual growth to
cover inflationary cost of replacing the General Fund equipment (e.g., police cars, snow plows,
etc.).
Street Special Levy — Historically, the City has used special assessments to fund
neighborhood street reconstruction. This levy enables the City to move to street
reconstruction being included in general property taxes.
Assessed valuation is assumed to increase at 3.77% annually based on the average of the past three years.
Median Value Home is assumed to increase 2.5% annually based on average of the past three years.
Long-term
Planning
58 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
LONG TERM PLANNING
Expenses
Salary & Benefits are projected at an annual increase of 5%. This percentage is based upon a five-year historical
average and includes new positions, market rate adjustments, annual progression or step increases, and benefit costs.
Contractual services and Commodities are projected to increase at an annual rate of 3%, which is also based on
a five-year historical average.
Tax Levy Projection
The model includes our two year budget and eight future years of projection for a total outlook of ten years. Based
on the above revenue and expense assumptions, the annual tax levy increase is expected to remain at about 5%. The
projection will be reviewed annually for changes to assumptions.

Capital
The City develops a six-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) every two years to provide a framework for planning the
preservation and expansion of infrastructure, facilities and equipment. The most recent CIP adopted by the City
Council was for the years 2021-2026, available at https://www.EdinaMN.gov/273/Finance. The City’s threshold for
projects or equipment to be included in the CIP is $20,000. Projects or equipment less than that are part of the
operating budget. The preparation of a long-range plan requires City staff to make material estimates about project
scope, costs of labor and materials, and other items. Generally, the estimates for earlier years are more precise than
later years. Actual results can differ significantly from such estimates.
Beginning with this CIP, the City implemented a formal departmental scoring process that standardizes priorities and
functions across departments. The departmental scoring is high, medium, low defined as:
High = Critical Medium = Important as funding available Low = Project can wait
Additionally, an asset preservation project was created to address immediate facility repair needs. Facility projects will
be evaluated semi-annually based on the following: • Health, Safety & Regulatory Compliance – mitigation of regulatory/
legal compliance, public health risk or safety hazard if present • Immediate Asset/Infrastructure Preservation – asset is
not functioning or at critical point • Expansion/Level of Service – impact on level of service ranging from significant
improvement in an existing/new service to avoidance of a decline in service
For both the CIP and the operating budget, it is the responsibility of City staff to gather information and develop a
recommendation for the City Council to consider. Council’s role is to guide City staff through the process and to
formally adopt a CIP near the end of every even-numbered year. The following illustrates City Council’s oversight
through the CIP process:
62 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
For projects prioritized in the first two years of the adopted CIP, City staff generally plan, develop and promote the
project until a contract is ready to be signed or a purchase over $20,000 is ready to be made. These types of
contracts/purchases receive final approval by the City Council. The City recognizes that circumstances and priorities
can change over time and in some cases may cause the timing of some projects to be moved after adoption of the CIP.
These changes are considered by the City Council on a case-by-case basis.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Significant recurring projects include street reconstruction, pedestrian/bike improvements and equipment
replacement.
Street reconstruction—Projects total $11.95M and $13.45M in 2022 and 2023, respectively, and are
funded principally through special assessments and utility fees. Significant projects for 2022-23 are along
Blake Road, Morningside, Prospect Knolls, and Southdale.
Pedestrian/bike improvements—Projects total $922,731 and $863,420 for 2022 and 23, respectively,
and are funded primarily through the City’s Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety (PACS) Fund. Pedestrian/bike
improvement projects for 2022-23 include France Avenue sidewalk, McCauley Trail shared-use path and
Hwy 169/Braemar Blvd shared-use paths.
Equipment replacement— Approximately $3.7M of equipment is expected to be replaced in 2022 and
2023. Equipment replacement for General Fund departments is funded by the equipment levy and resides in
the Construction Fund. The equipment includes police squad cars, ambulance fleet and public works
equipment.
Other projects include:
Facility improvements—In 2018, the City completed a three year review process of 117 buildings to create a
master database of physical buildings, plumbing, mechanical systems, fixtures and equipment to utilize in optimizing
long-term financial resources and sustainability goals. The 2022-23 Capital Plan funds $3.9M ($1.8M in 2022 and
$2.1M in 2023) for facility improvements to City Hall, liquor stores, facility efficiency upgrades and asset
preservation is funded through the Construction Fund, the Liquor fund and the Conservation and Sustainability
fund. One of the City’s Budget Pillars is “Strong Foundation” meaning that City infrastructure, facilities,
technology and equipment meets community needs now and in the future. The 2022-23 operating budget helps
to accomplish that.
Replacement of Public Safety 911 Dispatch and Records System—This next generation system from
Tyler Technologies will provide significantly enhanced capabilities and efficiencies to our public safety
operations. This includes greatly expanded capabilities for collecting and analyzing data about crime trends,
resource utilization, and community relations including demographic stop data. The new software will also allow
us to leverage the substantial advancements seen in recent years around GIS and mobile computing
technologies. This system will allow us to provide additional public safety software services to the City of
Richfield further enhancing our dispatch services partnership while offsetting some of our operational expenses.
This project was approved in our Capital Improvement Plan (Project # 17-054) and including the Richfield
Amendment is within the planned budget. Ongoing operations costs are within budget being equivalent to the
software we are replacing.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
New Paint Water Tower
Morningside Flood Reduction—The City of Edina’s Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan
(CWRMP), published in July 2018 identified the Morningside neighborhood as an area with a significant number of
structures at risk of flooding. This neighborhood is also planned for street reconstruction in 2022 and 2023
(reference (2)). Given both the need to reduce flood risk and the street reconstruction opportunity, the City began
planning for a flood risk reduction project.
Barr Engineering evaluated potential options for flood risk reduction in the Morningside neighborhood within the
City of Edina. The goal was to provide City staff and City Council with the information needed to make decisions
in 2021 aimed at implementing the most economical, advantageous, and optimized flood risk reduction project in
the Morningside neighborhood in coordination with the planned street reconstruction in 2022 and 2023.
Following an extensive community engagement to address flood risk reduction options in the Morningside
neighborhood, the City Council approved a budget modification to CIP Project No. 19-341 to include estimated
design professional services costs in 2021 of $1.4M, construction professional services in 2022 of $0.6M, capital
expenses of $9.5M in 2022, and $0.5M in 2023
Lift Station 6—This project proposes to replace Lift Station 6 (LS6) with a new lift station. LS6 is a key sanitary
sewer system component located near 72nd St West and Oaklawn Avenue that serves about two-thirds of the City
for trunk sanitary sewer. The station was built in the 1950’s. The prior 2019 recommendation was for major
refurbishment of the station for $900k. Staff assessed the asset condition for LS6 in preparation for the project and
recommended replacement. Due to the age of the asset, a major refurbishment was expected to cost >50% of the
replacement cost of the facility for only a 15-20 year extension in lifecycle. The new facility will provide a 60 year
design life at a reduced lifecycle cost from the refurbishment option. Funding for this project will come from the
Utility Fund.

Assessing Division
DIVISION OVERVIEW
The Assessing Division conducts field inspections (Minnesota Statute 273.08) and performs annual classification and
valuation of Edina’s 21,311 taxable and exempt real estate parcels. Accepted approaches (cost, market comparison and
income approach) to property valuation are considered in the appraisal process. The Assessing Division is also
responsible for certification and collection of special assessments.
Each year, all tangible changes to property that may affect value are physically inspected using building permits as an
informational source. Statistical analysis is performed on more than approximately 850 residential sales and existing
assessor’s market values each year, forming a basis for annual adjustments to value. Sales and the analysis of available
income and expense data help determine adjustments to commercial, industrial, and apartment values. The Division’s
work culminates each year with the Board of Appeal & Equalization. Hundreds of inquiries and reviews are handled
each year prior to the board meeting. Throughout the year, staff also manages appeals on commercial/industrial and
apartment properties in Minnesota Tax Court.

Economic Development/Housing & Redevelopment
Authority (HRA)
DIVISION OVERVIEW
The City strives to maintain a strong tax base and diversified mixture of land uses to compliment the many single-family
neighborhoods with employment opportunities, retail and service destinations, and multi-family housing options. The
Economic Development Division undertakes economic development projects to sustain and support an environment
where businesses can prosper and contribute to the desirable quality of life for which Edina is known.
The Edina HRA was established in 1974 for the purpose of undertaking urban redevelopment projects and assisting
with the development of affordable housing. The Edina HRA is an entity legally separate from the City with separate
taxing authority. However, for financial reporting purposes, the HRA is reported as if it were part of the City’s
operations because the members of the City Council serve as HRA commissioners and its activity is confined within
the city. The special revenue HRA Fund is used to account for revenues from several sources (tax-increment, bond
proceeds, investment earnings, etc.) that are designated for housing and redevelopment activities. Due to the
involvement of tax-increment financing (TIF) dollars, there are legal restrictions on how the money in this fund may be
spent.
2022-2023 DIVISION GOALS
Establish a new business accelerator program with a physical location in Edina.
Implement a marketing campaign to attract new businesses to redevelopment sites.
Identify private redevelopment efforts that require HRA assistance to proceed.
Secure site for new affordable housing.
Update economic development policies to incorporate additional City goals like sustainability and equity.

Edina uses Tax-Increment Finance (TIF) as a tool to promote high-quality economic development and redevelopment
in the city. Each TIF District has a district budget fund. This document includes details of the nine active TIF Districts as
well as two de-certified TIF Districts that retain a fund balance. A summary table of each TIF District and anticipated
expenditures follows.
This district was established in 1988 with the goal of attracting new investment to the underdeveloped portions of
Southeast Edina that had formerly been a gravel pit. The District was decertified in 2014 and retained a balance of
$7.3M as of 12/31/2020. The balance is intended to be invested in redevelopment projects over the next several years.

DIVISION OVERVIEW
The City operates three municipal stores. The liquor stores provide an exceptional service experience to customers.
Profits from the municipal liquor operation are first used to subsidize the City’s recreation enterprises, including

Capital Improvement Plan. Since its opening in 1948, it is estimated that Edina Liquor has generated revenue well over
$25M that has been used for property tax relief and investment in public infrastructure. Edina continues to be one of
the top-performing municipal operations in Minnesota. The four guiding objectives for Edina liquor are to:
Consistently provide funding to subsidize the City’s recreation enterprises and contribute to the City’s
Capital Improvement Plan.
Consistently provide the best customer service experience in the metro area.
Control the sale of alcohol to ensure that sales are not made to minors or other individuals as provided by

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Utilities Division
DIVISION OVERVIEW
The City’s Utilities Division ensures that there is clean, safe water. There are three main components of the Utilities
Division: pump, treat and distribute drinking water; sanitary sewer collection; and storm water collection.
The City of Edina operates two water systems: The Morningside water system and the Edina water system. The
Morningside system is supplied with treated surface water from the City of Minneapolis. While the water is from
Minneapolis, Edina’s Utilities Division maintains the system’s piping. The Edina system gets its water from 18 ground-
water wells. Once the water has been treated, it is distributed through a system of 200 miles of water main, four
water towers and a ground reservoir.
Sewage collection and flow is based on gravity and controlled by lift stations and pumps. The City collects and pumps
sewage from a neighboring community where it eventually goes to a wastewater treatment facility operated by the
Metropolitan Council.
The City also collects storm water. During and after a rain or melt event, it is crucial that water is removed quickly
from roadways so it doesn’t create a public safety issue. The water is routed to creeks, ponds, lakes and wetlands.
These highly visible areas serve as natural treatment facilities for storm water, create wildlife habitat and add to the
aesthetics of neighborhoods. The Utilities Division is responsible for managing, repairing and monitoring these water
systems.

2023 INTERNAL SERVICE FUND BUDGETS
199 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
Fund balance refers to the difference between assets and liabilities for governmental funds. Since all related assets and
liabilities are not reported for governmental funds, fund balance is considered more of a liquidity measure than a net
worth measure. Credit rating agencies monitor fund balance levels and consider fund balance when determining the
City’s creditworthiness.
GASB 54 defines five different classifications that the City may use to disclose constraints for how these amounts can
be spent. These classifications are as follows:
Nonspendable – Amounts that cannot be spent, such as prepaid items, inventory, and other long-term assets.
Restricted – Amounts subject to externally imposed constraints established by creditors, grantors, contributors,
or law.
Committed – Constrained by formal internal action, such as City Council resolution.
Assigned – Internally imposed constraints that do not meet the definition of Restricted or Committed.
Unassigned – Available to spend.
The schedule on the next page shows fund balance and net position trends for all of the City’s funds. The first year of
balances and activity shown represent actual amounts from the most recently completed annual audit. The second
year of balances and activity shown are projections compiled by City staff for the uncompleted balance of the current
fiscal year (the year this budget was written). The third and fourth years of balances and activity shown are continued
projections based on the annual revenue and expenditure/expense budgets contained in this document.

PROJECTED CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE—ALL FUNDS
NET POSITION—PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Net position refers to the difference between assets and liabilities for proprietary funds. Since proprietary funds
report more assets and liabilities than governmental funds, net position is a more accurate measure of net worth.
Credit rating agencies also consider fund net position when determining the City’s creditworthiness. Net position is
displayed in three classifications:
Net investment in capital assets – Capital assets less accumulated depreciation and debt, which cannot be spent
because the asset is not liquid.
Restricted – Amounts subject to externally imposed constraints established by creditors, grantors, contributors,
or law.
Unrestricted – Available to spend or allocate.

FUND DEFINITIONS
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
In general, governmental funds are used to account for traditional government services like Police, Fire, Public Works,
and Parks and Recreation. These activities are often, but not always, supported by a mix of taxes and user fees. The
City budgets and reports its governmental funds using the modified accrual basis of accounting, which is required by
GAAP. Currently the City has 10 governmental funds:
General Fund. This is the City’s primary operating fund. It records most of the City’s revenues and expenditures
from core City operations like Administration, Police, Fire, Parks and Recreation, etc. Any activities that are not
specifically reported in a different fund can be found in the General Fund. The General Fund is not used for debt
service or capital projects.
Housing and Redevelopment Authority Fund (HRA). The HRA is an entity legally separate from the City.
However, for financial reporting purposes, the HRA is reported in a special revenue fund as if it were part of the
City’s operations. This is done because the members of the City Council serve as HRA commissioners and its
activity is confined to the same geographic borders as the City of Edina.
Community Development Block Grant Fund (CDBG). This special revenue fund was established to
account for funds received under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
Police Special Revenue Fund. This special revenue fund was established to account for funds received for
specific purposes within the Police Department, including E-911 and forfeiture funds.
Braemar Memorial Fund. This account was created in 1976 and formally recognized as a separate special
revenue fund by the City Council in 2010. It is used to account for funds donated to the City for the purpose of
enhancing Braemar Golf Course with equipment and amenities that might not otherwise be affordable or viewed as
a necessity to the golf course.
Arts and Culture Fund. This special revenue fund was established in 2014 to account for funds donated to the
City for the purpose of enhancing public arts and culture related activities. It has been moved into the General
Fund in 2021.
Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety Fund (PACS). This special revenue fund was established in 2013 to account for
funds received from gas and electric franchise fees, which the City Council intends to use for pedestrian and cyclist
improvements included in future street reconstruction projects.
Conservation and Sustainability Fund (CAS). This special revenue fund was established in 2015 to account
for funds received from gas and electric franchise fees beginning in 2016. The City will use these funds to provide
a dedicated funding source for new conservation and sustainability functionality and programs.
Debt Service Fund. This fund accounts for the payment of principal and interest on the City’s governmental
debt.
Construction Fund. This fund accounts for the various special assessment and state aid projects throughout the
City. This fund also provides financing for the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and the Equipment
Replacement Program.
205 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
PROPRIETARY FUNDS
In general, proprietary funds are used to account for activities that the City intends to be mostly self-supporting. The
costs of providing these activities are often, but not always, recovered primarily through user charges, similar to private
businesses. Some of the activities we categorize as proprietary funds receive regular support from other City funds.
The City budgets and reports our proprietary funds using the full accrual basis of accounting, which is required by
GAAP. Currently the City has thirteen proprietary funds:
Utility Fund. This fund is used to account for water pumping, treatment and distribution as well as sanitary sewer
collection and disposal, storm water collection and recycling services to the City’s residents.
Liquor Fund. This fund accounts for the City’s off-sale liquor business, which Edina first started around 1948.
Today, there are three municipally owned liquor stores in Edina. Profits are generally transferred into other City
funds.
Aquatic Center Fund. This fund was established to account for the operations of the City’s outdoor municipal
pool.
Golf Course Fund. This fund was established to account for the City’s golf business when the 18-hole Braemar
Golf Couse opened in 1964. Today, the City operates Braemar Golf Course (a newly constructed 18-hole
championship course), a new 9-hole executive course and driving range, an indoor golf dome, and banquet room.
Arena Fund. This fund was created around 1966 when Braemar Arena was built. Today, there are three indoor,
regulation size ice sheets, including the original “West” arena.
Braemar Field Fund. This fund was created in 2013 to account for the revenues and expenses for Braemar Field
which was built in 2014.
Art Center Fund. This fund accounts for the revenues and expenses for the Edina Art Center.
Edinborough Park Fund. Edinborough Park’s finances were combined with Centennial Lakes Park in one fund
through 2011. A separate fund for each facility was created in budget year 2012.
Centennial Lakes Park Fund. Centennial Lakes Park’s finances were combined with Edinborough Park in one
fund through 2011. A separate fund for each facility was created in budget year 2012.
Risk Management Fund. This internal service fund was established to account for expenses related to the costs
of insurance, safety and prevention measures, and risk management programs across all departments.
Equipment Operations Fund. This internal service fund was established to account for expenses related to the
costs of maintaining and updating vehicles and equipment across all departments.
Information Technology Fund. This internal service fund was established to account for expenses related to
the costs of information technology equipment and services across all departments.
Facilities Management Fund. This internal service fund was established to account for expenses related to the
costs of maintaining and updating facilities across all departments.
FUND DEFINITIONS
206 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA F INANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES
PURPOSE
The City of Edina has a responsibility to provide quality services to its residents, and considers it important to do so in
a fiscally responsible fashion designed to keep services and taxes as consistent as possible over time. These financial
management policies are meant to serve as the framework upon which consistent operations may be built and
sustained.
OPERATING BUDGET POLICIES
Scope. It is the City’s policy to budget for all governmental and enterprise funds.
Accounting. The governmental funds use the modified accrual basis of accounting for budgeting and reporting
purposes. 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 for the current
period. 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. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred. However,
debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments are
recorded only when payment is due.
The Enterprise Funds use the accrual basis of accounting for budgeting and reporting purposes. 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 revenue 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.
Stakeholder Input. The annual budget process is intended to weigh all competing requests for City resources within
expected fiscal constraints. Requests for new programs made outside the annual budget process are discouraged. The
City will provide ample time and opportunity for public input into its budget process every year.
Balanced Budget Adoption. The operating budget for the General Fund will be balanced. The City will not use
internal or external short-term borrowing, asset sales, or one-time accounting changes to balance the General Fund
budget. The balanced budget will include a reasonable annual appropriation for contingencies.
Budgetary Controls. The legal level of budgetary control is at the department level within the General Fund even
though budgetary data is presented at lower levels (personal services, contractual services, commodities, and central
services). Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations by department unless offset by increases in revenues. All
unencumbered appropriations lapse at year-end.
The City Manager may approve budgetary transfers. The City Council may approve supplemental appropriations.
207 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES
Monitoring. Department Directors are responsible for administration of their respective department budgets. Such
responsibility includes reviewing monthly financial reports to detect errors and assess progress, staying within budget
authorization, and submitting requests for budget adjustments, when required.
REVENUE POLICIES
Policies. The City will endeavor to maintain a diversified and stable revenue system to shelter programs and services
from short-term fluctuations in any single revenue source.
Property Taxes. It is beneficial for residents and for the City to keep tax rates low and consistent from year to year.
The City will strive to proactively avoid large increases in the operating budget levy.
Fees and Charges. The City shall establish user charges and fees for General Fund program activities at a level
related to the full cost of providing the services. Components of the user charges shall include direct and indirect costs
of providing the service. The City will also consider policy objectives and market rates when setting fees.
Transfers. Transfers should not be used as a revenue source to balance the operating budget except for the annual
transfer from our liquor operations.
Investment Income. The City will reasonably budget for investment revenue in our operating budget based on the
conservative investment strategy outlined in our investment policy (under separate cover).
FUND BALANCE POLICIES
Definitions. The term fund balance describes the net assets of the City’s governmental funds calculated in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). GAAP further divides fund balance into five categories;
nonspendable fund balance, restricted fund balance, committed fund balance, assigned fund balance, and unassigned fund
balance.
Nonspendable fund balance consists of amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form, such
as prepaid items.
Restricted fund balance consists of amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by creditors,
grantors or contributors; or constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
Committed fund balance consists of amounts that are constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed
by formal action (resolution) of the City Council. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose
unless City Council removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action it employed to
previously commit those amounts.
Assigned fund balance consists of amounts intended to be used by the City for specific purposes but do not meet
the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. In governmental funds other than the general fund, assigned
fund balance represents the remaining amount that is not restricted or committed. In the general fund, assigned
amounts represent intended uses established by the City Council.
Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the general fund and also reflects negative residual amounts
in other funds.
208 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES
Policies. At the end of each fiscal year, the City will maintain nonspendable and restricted fund balance equal to the
amounts required by GAAP for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to: prepaid expenditures, park
dedication fees, E-911 funds, forfeiture funds, and other assets restricted by grantors, contributors, creditors, or
enabling legislation.
At the end of each fiscal year, the City will maintain committed fund balance constrained for specific purposes by City
Council.
At the end of each fiscal year, the City will maintain assigned fund balance in the General Fund for investments as
calculated by the difference between market value and amortized value of investments held by the City at year-end.
The City will also maintain assigned fund balance in the General Fund for Compensated Absences of 40% of the actual
full-accrual General Fund liability for compensated absences.
At the end of each fiscal year, the City’s goal is to maintain unassigned fund balance for Cash Flow in the General Fund
in a range equal to 42-47% of the subsequent year’s budgeted tax revenue. In the event that unassigned fund balance
falls above or below the desired range, the Finance Director shall report such amounts to the City Council as soon as
practicable after the end of the fiscal year. Should the actual amount of unassigned fund balance fall below the desired
range, the City shall create a plan to restore the appropriate levels. Should the actual amount of unassigned fund
balance fall above the desired range, any excess funds will remain unassigned pending the Council’s final decision
concerning transfer to another fund. It is the policy of the City that, to the extent possible, such excess funds will be
transferred to the Construction Fund to support capital improvements and equipment.
Available fund balances shall not be used for ongoing operating expenditures.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to first use restricted
resources, then use unrestricted resources as they are needed.
When committed, assigned, or unassigned resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use resources in the
following order: 1) committed, 2) assigned, and 3) unassigned.
CAPITAL OUTLAY POLICIES
Equipment Replacement Program. The City strives to maintain its physical assets at a level that minimizes future
repair and maintenance costs. To accomplish this goal, the City has established the Equipment Replacement Program to
annually budget and set aside funds for the timely replacement of City equipment.
The City’s Equipment Replacement Program includes equipment used for General Fund programs.
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The goal of the City’s CIP is to develop a comprehensive program for use by
decision makers to guide capital investments based on an assessment of the community’s needs, taking into account the
best use of limited resources while providing efficient and effective municipal services.
209 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The City will develop a six-year plan for capital improvements and update it annually. The CIP process includes
analyzing projects contributing to the public health and welfare, projects helping to maintain and improve the efficiency
of the existing systems, and projects that define a future need within the community.
The City will identify the estimated cost and potential funding sources for each capital project proposal in the CIP.
Purchase contracts for equipment and projects included in the CIP must still be properly authorized according to the
City’s Purchasing Policy.
The CIP will include equipment and projects from any City fund.
DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICIES
Policy Limits. The City will use debt only for capital improvement or projects that have a life of more than 4 years.
The City will avoid using debt for cash flow borrowing, operations, or repairs.
When possible, the City will not use debt to finance equipment purchases when it is possible to purchase the
equipment on a pay-as-you-go basis with equipment replacement program or capital improvement plan reserves.
The City shall use G.O. tax increment bonds only when the development merits special consideration.
The City’s capital improvement plan shall contain debt assumptions which match this policy and requires a commitment
to long-range financial planning which looks at multiple years of capital and debt needs.
Legal Limits. Minnesota Statues, Section 475 prescribes the statutory debt limit that outstanding principal of debt
cannot exceed 2% of taxable market value. This limitation applies only to debt that is wholly tax-supported. The type of
debt included is either general obligation debt of any size bond issue (G.O.) or lease revenue bond issues that were
over $1,000,000 at the time of issuance. However, there are also several other types of debt that do not count against
the limit. G.O. tax increment, G.O. special assessment, G.O. utility revenue, G.O. recreational facility revenue, and
HRA-issued debt are considered to have a separate revenue source other than just taxes and are excluded from the
legal debt limit calculation. Local ordinances do not limit the City’s ability to issue debt.
Issuance Practices. The City uses the competitive sale method for its general obligation bond sales unless factors
such as structure, size or market conditions compel the use of a negotiated sale.
The City may use an outside bond attorney, an independent financial advisor, and/or other service providers to assist
with the structuring and sale of the bonds.
Debt Structuring. The City’s collective debt shall amortize at least 50% of its principal within 10 years. In all cases,
the maturity shall be shorter than the life of the related assets.
Conduit Debt. The City may participate in conduit debt financings. Development proposals are reviewed to
determine if they meet program objectives and whether the proposals are financially feasible.
210 CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA
Variable Rate Debt. The City may use variable rate debt to provide debt structuring flexibility and potential interest
savings to the total debt portfolio. Variable rate debt should not constitute more than 20% of the City’s total debt
obligations.
Refunding. Current refunding bonds may be utilized when present value savings of 3% of refunded principal is
achieved or in concert with other bond issues to save costs of issuance.
Advance refunding bonds may be utilized when present value savings of 4% of refunded principal is achieved.
