Uh, I don't think we have anybody here for community comment tonight, right? Okay. Um, let's move on. Um, first item on the agenda for tonight is special recognition for mayor for the day essay participants. So, why don't you guys all come back up? There not are enough chairs there, but you guys can kind of stand there so that Christy can see you all. Helen, do you want to come up? Awesome. Um, so as you guys probably know, the League of Minnesota Cities does a Mayor for a Day contest annually, and it's open to kids in grades, I think, fourth through six, where you guys get to try to share your ideas on what we can do to make Carver an even better place. Um, and at one point when I wasn't sure how many folks would uh show up this evening, I thought it'd be cool to have you guys all read your essays. We're not going to do that. Um, but what I did do is I kind of um shared I have them all here and I'm going to kind of tell everybody the highlights and the high level stuff that your ideas were. So, um, let's see. Holland talked about a clean public space um, like the park, sidewalks and roads so that there would be less litter in our area. Abraham mentioned um a library and getting a book donation event and then also talked about a big open house with a movie and popcorn of course. Uh let's see. Spencer talked about planting more trees. Uh fixing up community park by adding a new skate park and a new pickle ball court. Um Spencer, do you know who's Spencer? Do you know that we're getting new pickle ball courts in Creekide Park? All right. Uh Declan talked about planting more trees for the earth. And then um last but not least, I said that Morgan talked about strengthening our parks department by um including an accessible playground and accessible spaces. So it's really cool. I will share I will leave these here for you guys to read as you see fit. But it's just kind of cool to see the world through your eyes and hear what you'd like to see more of and what you'd like to see less of. Um, could we have the students introduce themselves? Yeah. Why don't you guys go ahead? My name is Abraham. Go ahead. Somebody's got to go next. Yeah. My name is Spencer. My name is Dean. I'm Holland. What was Go ahead. My name is Holland. Good job. Thanks, Matthew. My name is Morgan. All right. Um, so we've got Carver Elementary kids and then you guys go to St. Hubert. Hubert's. Okay. Um, and let's see. So, what I did for you guys is I wrote a proclamation that I am going to read for you. says, uh, "Whereas the city of Carver believes in encouraging civic engagement and fostering leadership among our youngest residents, and whereas the League of Minnesota City's mayor for a day competition encourages students to think about civic engagement and leadership through the lens of being a mayor for the day." And whereas the mayor for a day competition offers youth the opportunity to share their ideas, visions, and hopes for the future of Carver. whereas and then your name it says in here uh wrote an essay for the mayor for the day contest which was uh which demonstrated creativity, thoughtfulness and a genuine desire for making the city of Carver an even better place to live, work and play. And whereas your essay uh reflects the spirit of innovation and community pride that define the city of Carver. And whereas the city of Carver recognizes the importance of supporting and celebrating the voices of our future leaders. Now therefore, be it resolved that I, Courtney Johnson, mayor of the city of Carver, share my appreciation for your participation in the mayor for a day contest. So, I have um proclamations to share with you all. We'll take a picture. I'm good. Spencer, come on. Sorry. There you go. I'm not sure. Let's take a picture. All right. Why did she look? I don't know. Congratulations. [Music] Please, please, please. There you go. Good job. Last, Abram. Why would you ever want to be last? All right. And then last, but certainly not least, Mr. Shaw. Love that sweatshirt. You know, I said that because I'm a fan. You guys want to take a big picture? Did any of us win? Sorry. So, I wasn't clear on that, you guys. So, the league does their um does their own judging and they determined the winners. Unfortunately, it wasn't anybody from Carver, but I thought it was really great that you guys wrote and did your own essay. So, have the kids go in the front if that's okay. Four of us. We're good. We're good. Okay, awesome. Thank you guys. Congratulations. [Music] You can uh take those certificates and get a free ice cream cone at Carver Crearyy. Actually, no, I'm kidding. Oh, that is That was cruel. That was cruel. But they're still open, so you can I think they're still open. Um Okay, they're open till 8. Yeah, put it on my tab. Um okay, thank you guys. Um, up next we have the 2024 audit. Mr. McDonald, we should let these kids know you do not have to stay. You You've got your proclamation. So, if you want to stay, you can. But this is get where it gets really exciting. It's up to you. This is going to be entertaining. If you're interested in a career in finance where we need more finance people in this world, this might be really good for you to listen in on. Abraham had a really good question. What's an audit? Well, then you want to stay. All right. You're gonna hear all about it. Yeah. It's a report card. I'm not going to hold you to it, though. Thank you. Well, good evening, Mayor, Council. Um, presenting the uh 2024 uh financial audit draft. I'll go through the management letter. Um, we've uh completed all of our fieldwork. The reason it's a draft is that we have one last piece that comes from the state related to the fire relief. So, it won't change any of the numbers, but um or at least in the the fund financial statements, but um we have to get that in before we finalize the report. So, uh we'll start here in overview. Um what I'm going to go through on the second page uh is uh we'll talk about the audit results. Um we hit some of the numbers with a highle look at all the funds uh including the general fund and all the governmental and enterprise funds. And then we have a few key performance indicators uh that we pull from data that we have from the state and um uh bring your numbers into that. Uh so overall our job in an audit is giving an opinion on the financial statements. Um we have a uh a program that we follow uh to ensure that the numbers are materially correct and the appropriate note disclosures have been made. And uh the opinion that we give is referred to as an unmodified opinion. So that's the highest level of assurance that you get on the financial statements. Um so overall met the um requirements in the testing that we did. Um we consider also the Minnesota legal compliance. There's um several areas that that we look at how you'd spend money. Um how you'd bid a project, bond a project, um the requirements for investing. uh those are areas that we also go through checklists and look at information inside the city and we didn't have any uh findings related to the state statutes. Um we also look at the internal control of the city. Um it helps us plan the audit. Uh areas that we uh would look at things like segregation of duties, those kind of things. If we have any comments, we make them here. And we do have three findings. And what I'd say is that those are the three most common findings uh that we have. First one 95% of our clients have and that's the preparation of financial statements. And what this really means is that um uh putting together the financial statements and getting all the note disclosures is very complicated and um it generally there's one person at the city that is responsible for all of those and that doesn't create adequate segregation of duties. um you use us to draft your financial statements and we can't be part of your internal control. So this is uh the compensating controls that you put in place is ensuring that the numbers are closely reviewed that all of the numbers that are in the audit match what's in your finance system. Um that there's a good read through of the financial statements and we're very confident that that's done. Um second one is an internal uh control finding that came out a result of one of the test uh tests that we did. Um we happened to look at journal entries and saw that there's really one person involved in initiating approving and posting a transaction. Now that's not bad but again it's more of a small city uh comment that we do run across. Important thing here is um when we bring that finding up the city looks at it says yes that's what happened here's what we're going to do going forward um I think that the the management response is really important in these and as you can read through those in the financial statements um you can see that management is looking at that how do we make it better and uh the last one is a material audit adjustment and this happens quite frequently um some transactions end up being relatively complicated. I think this one had to do with um MSA funds. Um and it it doesn't it the transaction was posted uh incorrectly to a balance sheet when it should have been a revenue. And um so when we go through our audit process, we see that and if we have to make a correction of a decision that uh was made internally, then that and it's material to the financial statements. We just have to make note of that. So again, these things happen. Like I said, these are the top three findings uh that we do run across in cities. I don't think they're at all a reflection of performance or anything like that. But um again, the important thing is what do we do going forward and I'm confident that city's taken the right steps to address those. Okay. Now getting into the numbers um you can see the summary of the general fund and the things we're looking at here. uh uh you have a target to maintain a fund balance reserve in the general fund of 40% of what you plan to spend in the following year and um you've been either at or above that target each of the years except for prior year and then you came back this year and hit that target. Um so consistent uh consistent performance there and another good thing about that policy it does give you a mechanism to look when we hit that 40% what are we going to do with amounts above and that's important to help build other capital reserves or fund projects or do those kind of things. So I find that a good proactive uh process to do. Now here's a summary of the uh general fund uh revenue and expenditures compared with budget. Uh you can see that we were positive in all categories of well major categories of revenue, expenditures, transfers. um revenue I believe related to uh uh FEMA um revenue that had come in and then on the expenditure side you had positive uh variances in uh the general government category which includes a lot of different things like administration in those areas and then public works was also under budget. So, um, and then we have a that that's fine. Um, the, uh, uh, major categories here, we're highlighting a three-year comparison of the major categories of revenue and expenditures. Um, consistent in on the revenue side, except for taxes, has um, grown over the last three years. On the expenditure side, the um, public safety number was up. I again I think because some of those FEMA expenses well that was probably over $100,000. So that uh provided a spike in 2024. Okay. Uh you have a few small funds that are classified as special revenue funds. Um you were carrying uh some ARPA funds that got closed out in 2024. Those were CO era uh dollars that were uh available for use. Um, so you've completed that and then a few other uh smaller uh special revenue funds that uh are consistently about those amounts. Um, capital project funds. Few things stand out here. Um, as you look at it, there's a uh three funds with uh deficits that seem relatively large. Now, what I'd say is that those are offset with receivables. Um, you have uh project funding for all of those, and that's really the key thing. um when you have a deficit is that there is a funding plan that everybody knows and understands. Uh on the debt side, um couple of highlights here. Uh in total, there's over 16 million of bonds outstanding at the end of the year. We're a few years away from completing uh the the debt service in in many of those funds. and it gives you an idea of what our ongoing commitment is over the next 10 years from the uh principal and interest commitments. Now we're into the enterprise fund. So water, sewer, storm water. Um we've hit a couple of highlights here that are intended to give you an idea on how the uh fund is overall performing. Um key thing for me when I look at these first is to see that operating revenue and operating expenses um or that operating revenue is exceeding operating expenses. So that orange bar compared to the yellow bar uh our receipts have exceeded our operating expenses. So we're generating positive cash flow. The green bar is the connection fees um that relate to new development. And then the dark or the black is um the debt payments that we have. So we're seeing coverage of uh the the um debt and operating expenses that we have here. Then on the next page um we're highlighting the cash balance. So, we set a uh the the dark line across is uh our our cash balance target and we we look at that um uh using whatever the next year's debt service is uh plus a portion of operating cost that would set a minimum threshold that really wouldn't provide for like major capital or those kind of things, but it gives you an idea on what you need to operate the system. And so, our cash balances have exceeded that. And one thing I'll point out with 2024, uh, as I was looking through this this afternoon, we're missing about a million dollars of unspent bond proceeds. So there should be a green bar across the top. So I saw that as I was going through things today. So the final will reflect that, but it gives you an idea of the green is stuff we're going to spend on capital. So um, it if when you see that kind of increase, you go, "Wow, we had a great year." But part of that is debt. Okay, sewer fund. Little tighter margins here. Um, but we do see that the operating receipts cover the operating expenses and um connection fees are smaller than we saw in the water fund. And our debt payments are also smaller, too. And then cash balance here, uh, we're still above our our target, um, but it it has been going down the last couple years. I believe you do a annual long-term plan and look at those. That's the key thing. Yeah. Um, as long as that long-term plan's in place, you have an idea on the direction that that fund is going, uh, I think that's that's critical, uh, to keep that up. Uh, storm water fund. Um, big growth in the operating receipts this year. I assume that's from rate increases, but, um, it's needed. You don't have a lot of operating expenses, but you have a lot of debt payments that are out there. So, uh, the operating receipts, yeah, you got to pay attention to that and make sure that the debt payments are covered. Okay. Cash balance has been consistent the last couple years. Uh, 560,000 and, um, again, consistent uh, able to pay the bills. And then cash and investment balances. Um, overall, this is if we add everything together, you have a a cash and investment portfolio of about 15 million. Um if you take all of the funds together, probably largest is the water fund. Um and overall that increase about a million of that is probably unspent bond proceeds and then the just the operating activity of the other funds contributed to the increase. Okay. Now some uh the key performance indicators and we break this down by cities that are your size which are referred to as class four cities. Um, and then we are able to pull information on cities in Carver County. So, it gives you some perspective of where you're at relative to your neighbors. So, tax rates, um, you had a a a really good decrease in the tax rate in 23 and 24, uh, inched up a little bit, but you can see relative to peer groups that your tax rate is less than um, cities your size in in the county. And then taxes per capita, uh, pretty consistent with the peer groups. So, uh, not not a lot more to say there, but, uh, generally been consistent year-toear. And then long-term debt, um, with the growth that you've had over the last 10 years, funding, some of that growth has come through bonds, and your debt per capita is generally higher uh, than cities your size. And that class four cities, you're going to have a mix of growth cities and stable cities and all those things. Um, so again, that long-term debt, you can see it flattening the last two years, but going down over a three-year period. And obviously, if you do really big projects or those kind of things, the debt per capita may go up, but um that's all part of the process. And then, uh, debt service expenditures is a percent of current. This is often a metric that bond rating agencies look at. Um, how much of our total spend is going to debt service? and consistent with that um debt per capita, yours is a little bit higher than um uh comparable cities. And then um on the uh good side on the current expenditures, you're spending less than uh your peer group cities. So, you know, just over $500 per person the last couple of years uh compared to the peer group. The last set of data we have is 22. So, they were $900 and my eyes are so bad I can't even see that. 690. Would I pass my I passed my driver's test a week ago. So, so that that's a quick walkthrough of all the highlights. Um, we had a great audit team out here this year. Uh, they did a great job. Lynn really did a fantastic job. We mentioned this is probably the earliest that we've presented the audit that I could ever remember. So that's a reflection of getting things uh getting things done, getting it done right, and uh we're able to get uh in and out in our scheduled time. So I appreciate the opportunity to answer any questions you might have, questions, comments, how does this the overall? Well, they look at so many different things. Uh the numbers itself are very important. Um, I'm sorry to interrupt. Does somebody not have their microphone on though? I couldn't hear the question. The question Christie was, how does this affect our rating, our credit rating? Uh, fund balance consistency is really important. um a lot of the metrics that I talk about from the um consistent uh debt service as a as a percent of your total expenses, but really it's like you've been through these probably a few times in the last couple years. Um a lot of it is the growth plans and um they I mean obviously the finance side has weighed very heavily. Uh and I assume you've had a pretty good rating. So maybe you just want to summarize what how the last ones went. Yeah, I can add on to what Steve had shared. The the feedback that we got last time was related to our general fund reserve balance because we did have that dip. And so we shared with them our plan to get that back up to 40%. And so we've hit that target. Uh the second half was a a more robust and dedicated uh capital improvement planning tool. Um and so Lynn has invested in some software. or the city's invested in some software that Lynn is working on. So, kind of a detailed answer to to Steve's kind of general view, it's that managing that growth and planning and making sure your documents align with what you're collecting for rates and taxes and that the council is fully invested in uh getting financial updates and our our strategic plan. So, I would say based on my anecdotal kind of experience with them, it's more forward looking than where you've been and that they want to know that you're on the right trajectory because they ask questions about tax base and new development. Um, and so it's kind of a whole list of things, but those handful of pieces were important on our last uh rating call. That's consistent with what I experienced with a few other cities where I participated. the forward-looking is really important. Um, and the growth plans and just the overall ability to umh serve the serve the community have a have a tax base that's growing because they're yeah they're issuing debt on the promise of future treatment. So So for our young new young leaders in the room, what I'm asking is the city wants an A+ as well. This kind of contributes to that score. what our grade actually is. Yeah, absolutely. And I think you know when it as I summarize things, the things that I also think really stand out again consistent general fund performance and enterprise fund reserves that are really strong and building some of those capital reserves. Um having a plan to build for future spend on capital always reflects reflects well. Any other questions, comments? a couple of questions if anyone if you're ready. Go ahead, Christie. I I sorry I couldn't hear if somebody else was ready to go. Nope, it's you have the floor. Okay. Um when we're looking at the the very first slide you had and this comes up many um many of the years we talked. So it's like the segregation of duties and things like that. We do hear that every year and the journal entries being one one person and we talk about that being the small city kind of inevitable issue. Does that hurt us in any way? Is there or is there any way that we can do anything to rectify that? Um, obviously having a smaller staff, but we we do hear the same thing every year. Is that hurting us? No, I think the preparation of financial statements is just I don't want to say just accept it. Um, you know, it's a costbenefit thing. You could hire somebody to review your financial statements, but I don't think that would be a great value. Um, I think the the key thing is just is matching numbers, making sure that the numbers that are reflected in the audit are consistent with your finance system. Um, you know, we implement new accounting standards every year. I have to go to my senior staff people to ask me what they mean sometimes. So, again, having that uh responsibility internally, one person generally can't do it. So, that's one I'm not really worried about. the the other one related to the journal entries. I think that's a a correctable one. Um again with Lynn is the one responsible to because she has the experience to understand what the entry is to post it in the system and uh to review it. There are things you can do so somebody else can enter it in the finance system and post it. uh Brent could review the the journal entry itself and again all he'd have to be able to understand is what was his journal entry intended to do and sign off on it. So like those would be some controls that I would consider putting in place. Um, and then the material audit adjustment. Those things just happen sometimes, but it comes down to when you're preparing for the audit, um, getting a second look at the workpapers because sometimes we put some things together and, um, we're I'm not saying this is a situation. This is what I run into sometimes. There's a rush um, and then we provide that detail. A good second look at it would be helpful, too. So those are some of the things that I would say uh would would eliminate these for next year, but probably you're going to live with the preparation of financial statements. Okay. Okay. Um can we go to the water fund slide, the cash or the operating? Uh let's this one. Yep. Yeah. Um so we're looking at this and we're talking about minimum target balances and then we have um cash balances that are raising significantly from you know from 2023. Do are we good there being that we're saying this is our minimum target balance but we have this much in the fund. Maybe you or Brent wants to talk a little bit about why we have that jump in there. I'm assuming it's because we're getting ready for bigger projects, but it just looks with the, you know, the minimum balance that goes across saying, "Well, this would be our minimum and then we're watching it go up and up." And we hear a lot about water rates and um different things in town. So, I just maybe think that's something that needs a little explanation. Yeah, that's a good question. Um, a couple of things that uh I me I mentioned that there's some unspent bond proceeds of about a million dollars. So that bar should be green for about um a fifth of that of that orange. That's money we're going to spend on a project that's been identified. And then the other thing that does you don't have a line of sight on from this would be your future plan capital spend. Um so maybe you want to speak on your your long-term plan or your enterprise rate studies. Yep. So, if you remember, we're slowly uh building capital in the water fund for our 2030 uh second water treatment facility. So, um we're hoping to pay a good chunk of that with cash. And that will be uh how big a project will that be? Oh, man. Um I think we're planning on paying 12 million maybe in cash at least. 18. Close to 30 million. 30 million. Yeah. Yeah. So again, like I think that idea that you're building for something uh is important to understand about those numbers too. Okay, thanks for the explanation in case somebody is watching and um that context isn't here for the slide so that we have that now. Um I have one other one. Can we go to the comparisons with the cities and I think it was the LA one of the last ones. Um can you go forward? Is there there's a one with percentages. There we go. Okay. So, this is looking at our debt service as a percent. So, when the rest of the slides that we had, when we looked at the comparison cities in class 4 and other cities in Carver County, we were all kind of in the same range. When we're looking at these, a lot of these are our percentages are doubled. Mhm. Can we talk about why it would be doubled if everything else is fairly consistent with the other cities on the other slides? Um, you issued a lot of debt for the growth. Um, so it it makes sense um relative to to other cities. Like I mentioned, the class class 4 cities is a mix of stable cities and growth cities. Um, so those percentages are a little bit less. Carver County also probably has a little bit of that mix, but you do have a lot of growth cities here. But when like we talked about with the water fund, there's some big projects that you've done that you've issued debt for. And I would add, council member Mock that the class four cities represent like that's a statewide view. So you're going to you might find a class four city of 7,000 in central Minnesota that's not going to be growing to any extent. So they're not adding infrastructure. Sure. The same goes for cities in Carver County. We're we're going to have more debt than New Germany and Norwood, Young America. Um, etc. Um, it's I would I would offer the example that we've talked about in a number of occasions. This is we're a growing family and our grocery bill is going to go up and there's just there's more projects to do. So, on the front end, we're going to we're just going to have debt. That's why we're trying to raise that capital. Mhm. Um but I think it's we're at a I would offer an undeniable point at right now where uh we're going to have to add that infrastructure to service that. Um and it and you've brought this up I think and it's well um heard is that part of the issue is we need some of the like without that growth we can't pay the connection fees that are uh required to pay that existing debt. And so it's not that uh we're promoting growth, but we're responding to it and planning for it. Um I I think in a a prudent way, but it's still a a topic that the council will have to manage and we'll facilitate those conversations uh by reviewing our long-term financial plan um on an annual basis. Okay. Well, thanks for all the context to um adding some information to these slides in conversation. And that's all I have for questions. Thank you. Thank you. That's all we have for you, Steve. All right. Thanks. Always enjoyable. All right. We need a motion to accept the audit. I would make a motion to accept the 2024 audit. Motion by Council Member Pasco. I'll second. Second by Council Member Kushman. Any further discussion? Make a roll call vote, please. Council member Mock. Council member Pasco. I. Council member Ser. I. Council member Persman. I. Mayor Johnson. I. Motion passes. All right. Have a good night. You too. Thank you. Uh we have no public hearings. Can I get a motion to consent agenda? I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda. Motion by council member Pchman. Second. Second by council member Pasco. Um I just had to change. Oh, that's okay. Sorry. No, you're fine. We're ready whenever you are, Brenda. Council member Mock, I. Council member Pasco, I. Council member Seer, I. Council member Persman, I. Mayor Johnson, I. Motion passes. Um, okay. No business items, communications, anything. I don't have any. I missed the last Southwest transit meeting Thursday. and this to flight. Sounds like a story for a different time. Lori, um, no updates tonight. All right, Kayla. Uh, we had planning commission last week. It went very well. We had a grand old time as usual. Very short meeting, but um, finished up the work on the sign ordinance. So, that should be ready to go for us here pretty soon. Great. Uh, let's see. Looking back on the last couple weeks, we had our strategic planning session on April 9th, but we were all there. We talked a little bit about Oh, sorry, Christy. I almost skipped over you. Sorry. Out of sight. Easily skipped over. All right. It's all right. You know, it's it's really easy. I don't have anything. Thank you. Well, that was all for not. Okay. Thanks, Christie. Sorry about that. I completely Thank goodness for Brent. Um, let's see. Strategic planning session. We talked a little bit about it in our work session this evening. Um, on April 10th, Idol League of Minnesota City's board meeting. Um, and that evening there was the Citizens League civic celebration. The Citizens League is who the league partnered with on that staffing survey that I sent to you guys. So, um, it was their annual event where they honored Peter Bell, uh, Sharon McMahon, and then the civic change maker award went to Anon Jones from Lit Literacy Minnesota. Um, last Friday night or two Friday nights ago was uh, Black Socks of Bingo, which was a good time if you've never been. Uh, on Monday I went to the Regional Council of Mayors where we heard from Met Transit and then uh, the League of Minnesota Cities, did an overview of um, kind of a legislative update of what's going on in St. Paul. Last Thursday on the 16th, I participated um, it may have been a Wednesday. Uh either way, on the 16th I participated in Emmer's monthly call where his staff kind of gives updates on what's going on in DC. Um connected with Jeff Thompson last Friday morning. He is on the Dolin Township board and was just kind of talking about our growth and what we've got planned and just good to make those kinds of connections with folks. And then last uh Saturday was the Carver Lions Easter egg hunt where it crossed paths with Andrew, met his wife and daughters. Um, and it is the quickest 90 seconds in the city of Carver, but it's always fun and the lions do such a great job in that. So, that is it for me.
