Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of December 31, 2016, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the General fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. -11- THIS PAGE IS LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY -12- Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis starting on page 15 and the Schedules of Employer’s Share of the Net Pension Liability, the Schedules of Employer’s Contributions and the Schedule of Funding Progress for Other Post-Employment Benefit Plan starting on page 74, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory section and combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory section has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it. ABDO, EICK & MEYERS, LLP Minneapolis, Minnesota May 16, 2017 -13- THIS PAGE IS LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY -14- Management’s Discussion and Analysis As management of the City of Corcoran, Minnesota (the City), we offer readers of the City’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Financial Highlights The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $10,592,138 (net position). Of this amount, $1,476,749 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. The City’s total net position increased by $1,618,642. Governmental activities decreased by $732,102 and business-type activities increased $2,350,744. The decrease in governmental activities and increase in business-type activities is mainly due to the governmental activities contributing $1,757,646 to business-type activities during the year. As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $5,640,523, an increase of $800,005 in comparison with the prior year. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the General fund was $1,453,252 or 39.8 percent of total General fund expenditures and transfer out. The City’s total long-term liabilities increased $4,529,453 during the current fiscal year primarily as a result of 2016A bonds issued for $2,915,00 along with an increase in the pension liability of $1,742,478. -15- Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplemental information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide more detailed data. The statements are followed by a section of combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules that further explains and supports the information in the financial statements. Figure 1 shows how the required parts of this annual report are arranged and relate to one another. In addition to these required elements, we have included a section with combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules that provide details about nonmajor governmental funds, which are added together and presented in single columns in the basic financial statements Figure 1 Required Components of the City’s Annual Financial Report Management's Discussion and Analysis Basic Financial Statements Required Supplementary Information Government- wide Financial Statements Fund Financial Statements Notes to the Financial Statements Summary Detail -16- Figure 2 summarizes the major features of the City’s financial statements, including the portion of the City government they cover and the types of information they contain.

The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all of the City’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenue (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government, public safety, public works, culture and recreation, and interest on long-term debt. The business-type activities of the City include water and sewer utilities. The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary government), but also a legally separate Economic Development Authority for which the City is financially accountable. The Economic Development Authority, although legally separate, functions for all practical purposes as a department of the City, and therefore has been included as part of the primary government. The government-wide financial statements start on page 27 of this report. Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds. Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact by the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The City maintains 20 individual governmental funds, three of which are Debt Service funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for the General fund, Debt Service fund, Downtown Improvements fund, and the Hackamore Upgrade fund, which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other 13 governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation identified as other nonmajor governmental funds. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements or schedules elsewhere in this report. The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the General fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget. The basic governmental fund financial statements start on page 32 of this report. Proprietary funds. The City maintains one type of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its Water and Sewer funds. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary funds financial statements provide separate information for each of the enterprise funds which are considered to be major funds of the City. The basic proprietary funds financial statements start on page 40 of this report. -18- Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the City. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on page 43 of this report. Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements start on page 45 of this report. Other information. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds are presented following the notes to the financial statements. This report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the progress in funding its obligation to provide pension and other postemployment benefits to its employees. Required supplementary information can be found starting on page 74 of this report. The combining and individual fund statements and schedules are presented immediately following the required supplementary information starting on page 78 of this report. Government-wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the City, assets and deferred outflows exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows by $10,592,138 at the close of the most recent fiscal year. The largest portion of the City’s net position (63.4 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, infrastructure, machinery and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

Significant revenues items included: Capital grants and contributions amounted to over $2,100,000 between governmental and business-type activities. The majority of that amount is made up of special assessments, and connection fees and trunk charges. Property taxes increased in 2016 as a result of an increase in the General fund property tax levy. Significant expenses items included: Public safety expenditures increased $279,895 due to increased personal service for additional police officer and an increase building inspection charges due to development within the City. General government expenditures increased $214,612 due to adding an additional clerk in 2015 with full year of expense in 2016, elections supplies, and auditor/treasurer services. Overall business-type expenses increased $67,755. -20- The following graph depicts various governmental activities and shows the revenue and expenses directly related to those activities.

Business-type activities increased the City’s net position by $2,350,744. Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Governmental funds. The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $5,640,523, an increase of $800,005 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 24.9 percent of this total amount ($1,406,469) constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the City’s discretion. The remainder of fund balance ($4,234,054) is not available for new spending because it is either 1) nonspendable ($112,532), 2) restricted ($3,529,781), 3) committed ($34,560), or 4) assigned ($557,181). For further classification refer to Note 3E on page 62 of this report.

The Downtown Improvements fund also issued bonds for $2,607,675 to fund the improvement project. The remaining fund balance is restricted for future improvements and is expected to be spent in 2017. The General fund balance increased $455,128 during the year. The increase was due to a combination of revenues exceeded budget expectations by $311,672 and expenditures coming in $83,455 less than budget. The main reason for revenues exceeding budget was increased building permits due to development in the City. The Debt Service fund has a total fund balance of $310,360, all of which is restricted for payment of future debt service. The fund balance increased $144,583 from 2015 mainly due to resources collected from taxes and special assessmets exceeding scheduled bond payments.

CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because Total net change in fund balances - governmental funds 800,005$ Capital outlays are reported in governmental funds as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over the estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. Capital outlays 2,914,367 Depreciation expense (492,993) Assets constructed in the governmental funds for enterprise funds are eliminated in the government-wide statements.(1,757,646) Governmental funds report a gain (loss) on sale of capital assets to the extent of cash exchanged, whereas the disposition of the assets book value is included in the total gain (loss) in the statement of activities. Disposals (174,466) Depreciation on disposals 164,613 The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts amortized in the statement of activities. Bonds issued (2,915,000) Premium on bonds issued (85,106) Amortization of bond premium 5,322 Principal repayments 265,000 Interest on long-term debt in the statement of activities differs from the amount reported in the governmental funds because interest is recognized as an expenditure in the funds when it is due, and thus requires the use of current financial resources. In the statement of activities, however, interest expense is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due.(38,367) Certain revenues are recognized as soon as they are earned. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, they cannot be recognized until they are available to liquidate liabilities of the current period. Property taxes 6,913 Special assessments 829,746 Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.

Reporting entity The City of Corcoran, Minnesota (the City), operates under a Home Rule Charter form of government. The charter provides for citizen input for initiative, referendum and recall. Under this plan, the government of the City is directed by a City Council composed of an elected Mayor and four elected City Council members. The City Council exercises legislative authority and determines all matters of policy. The City Council appoints personnel responsible for the proper administration of all affairs relating to the City. The City has considered all potential units for which it is financially accountable, and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that exclusion would cause the City’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has set forth criteria to be considered in determining financial accountability. These criteria include appointing a voting majority of an organization’s governing body, and (1) the ability of the primary government to impose its will on that organization or (2) the potential for the organization to provide the specific benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on the primary government. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are in substance, part of the City’s operations and so data from these units are combined with data of the primary government. The City has the following component unit: Blended component unit The Economic Development Authority (the EDA) of the City was created pursuant to Minnesota statutes 469.090 through 469.108 to carry out economic and industrial development and redevelopment consistent with policies established by the City Council. The EDA may not exercise any of the powers enumerated by the authorizing statutes without prior approval of the Board of Commissioners. The activity of the EDA are blended and reported as a Debt Service fund due to the financial benefit/burden relationship. The EDA has no activity during the year. Separate financial statements are not issued for this component unit. B. Government-wide and fund financial statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. -45- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED C. Measurement focus, basis of accounting and financial statement presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues 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, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the City. Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal value, is recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. On a modified accrual basis, revenue is recorded in the year in which the resources are measurable and become available. Non-exchange transactions, in which the City receives value without directly giving equal value in return, include property taxes, grants, entitlement and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the year for which the tax is levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements and donations is recognized in the year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the resources are required to be used or the year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the City must provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are provided to the City on a reimbursement basis. On a modified accrual basis, revenue from non-exchange transactions must also be available before it can be recognized. Unearned revenue arises when assets are recognized before revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Grants and entitlements received before eligibility requirements are met are also recorded as unearned revenue. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. -46- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED The City reports the following major governmental funds: The General fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the City, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The Debt Service fund accounts for the resources accumulated and payments made for principal and interest on long-term general obligation debt of governmental funds. The Hackamore Upgrade fund tracks the Hackamore Upgrade project finances. The Downtown Improvements fund tracks the Downtown Improvements project finances. The City reports the following major proprietary funds: The Water fund accounts for costs associated with the City’s water system and ensures that user charges are sufficient to pay for those costs. The Sewer fund accounts for the costs associated with the City’s sewer system and ensures that user charges are sufficient to pay for those costs. Additionally, the City reports the following fund types: Fiduciary funds account for assets held by the government in a trustee capacity or as an agent of behalf of others. The agency fund is custodial in nature and does not present results of operations or have a measurement focus. Agency funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. This fund is used to account for assets that the City holds for others in an agency capacity. As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from government-wide financial statements. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. The City also recognizes as operating revenue the portion of tap fees intended to recover the cost of connecting new customers to the system. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. -47- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED D. Assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources and net position/fund balance Deposits and investments The City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The proprietary funds’ portion in the government-wide cash and temporary investments pool is considered to be cash and cash equivalents for purposes of the Statements of cash flows. Cash balances from all funds are pooled and invested, to the extent available, in certificates of deposit and other authorized investments. Earnings from such investments are allocated on the basis of applicable participation by each of the funds. The City may also invest idle funds as authorized by Minnesota statutes, as follows: 1. Direct obligations or obligations guaranteed by the United States or its agencies. 2. Shares of investment companies registered under the Federal Investment Company Act of 1940 and received the highest credit rating, rated in one of the two highest rating categories by a statistical rating agency, and have a final maturity of thirteen months or less. 3. General obligations of a state or local government with taxing powers rated “A” or better; revenue obligations rated “AA” or better. 4. General obligations of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency rated “A” or better. 5. Obligation of a school district with an original maturity not exceeding 13 months and (i) rated in the highest category by a national bond rating service or (ii) enrolled in the credit enhancement program pursuant to statute section 126C.55. 6. Bankers’ acceptances of United States banks eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System. 7. Commercial paper issued by United States banks corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries, of highest quality category by at least two nationally recognized rating agencies, and maturing in 270 days or less. 8. Repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements with financial institutions qualified as a “depository” by the government entity, with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System with capitalization exceeding $10,000,000, a primary reporting dealer in U.S. government securities to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or certain Minnesota securities broker-dealers. 9. Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GIC’s) issued or guaranteed by a United States commercial bank, a domestic branch of a foreign bank, a United States insurance company, or its Canadian subsidiary, whose similar debt obligations were rated in one of the top two rating categories by a nationally recognized rating agency. The City’s investment policy limits the term of investments to be less than five years. All other policy provisions are limited to Minnesota statutes. The broker money market investment pool operates in accordance with appropriate State laws and regulations. The reported value of the pool is the same as the fair value of the pool share. The City has the following recurring fair value measurements as of December 31, 2016: Brokered Certificates of Deposit of $1,493,178 are valued using a matrix pricing model (Level 2 inputs) -48- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Property taxes The City Council annually adopts a tax levy in December and certifies it to the County for collection in the following year. The County is responsible for collecting all property taxes for the City. These taxes attach an enforceable lien on taxable property within the City on January 1 and are payable by the property owners in two installments. The taxes are collected by the County Treasurer and tax settlements are made to the City during January, July and December each year. Taxes receivable includes the past six years’ uncollected taxes. Delinquent taxes have been offset by a deferred inflow of resources for taxes not received within 60 days after year end in the governmental financial statements. Accounts receivable Accounts receivable include amounts billed for services provided before year end. Amounts outstanding at year end are considered fully collectible. Special assessments Special assessments represent the financing for public improvements paid for by benefiting property owners. These assessments are recorded as receivable upon certification to the County. Special assessments are recognized as revenue when they are received in cash or within 60 days after year end. All governmental special assessments receivable are offset by a deferred inflow of resources in the fund financial statements. Interfund receivables and payables Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds”. Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a nonspendable fund balance account in the General fund or a restricted, committed or assigned account in applicable governmental funds to indicate the constraint on these resources. Prepaid items Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. Capital assets Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items) are, reported in the governmental activities column in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of five years. The City reports infrastructure assets on a network and subsystem basis. Accordingly, the amounts spent for the construction or acquisition on infrastructure assets are capitalized and reported in the government-wide financial statements. -49- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED In the case of the initial capitalization of general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by governmental activities) the City chose to include all such items regardless of their acquisition date or amount. The City was able to estimate the historical cost for the initial reporting of these assets through backtrending (i.e., estimating the current replacement cost of the infrastructure to be capitalized and using an appropriate price-level index to deflate the cost to the acquisition year). As the City constructs or acquires additional capital assets each period, including infrastructure assets, they are capitalized and reported at historical cost. The reported value excludes normal maintenance and repairs which are essentially amounts spent in relation to capital assets that do not increase the capacity or efficiency of the item or extend its useful life beyond the original estimate. In the case of donations the City values these capital assets at the acquisition value of the item at the date of its donation. Property, plant and equipment of the City are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Useful Lives Assets in Years Buildings and improvements 7 - 40 Infrastructure 15 - 50 Equipment and machinery 5 - 60 Vehicles 3 - 50 Roads and highways 20 - 40 Land improvements 5 - 30 Deferred outflows of resources In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The City has only one item that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, deferred pension resources, is reported only in the statement of net position. This item results from actuarial calculations and current year pension contributions made subsequent to the measurement date. Compensated absences It is the City’s policy to permit employees to accumulate a limited amount of earned but unused vacation, which is paid to the employee upon separation. A portion of unused sick leave may also be paid upon separation from City service. In governmental fund types the cost of these benefits are recognized when payments are made to the employees. The General fund is typically used to liquidate governmental compensated absences payable. Postemployment benefits other than pensions Under Minnesota statute 471.61, subdivision 2b., public employers must allow retirees and their dependents to continue coverage indefinitely in an employer-sponsored health care plan, under the following conditions: 1) Retirees must be receiving (or eligible to receive) an annuity from a Minnesota public pension plan, 2) Coverage must continue in group plan until age 65, and retirees must pay no more than the group premium, and 3) Retirees may obtain dependent coverage immediately before retirement. All premiums are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. The liability was actuarially determined, in accordance with GASB Statement 45, at January 1, 2016. The General fund is typically used to liquidate governmental other postemployment benefits payable. -50- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Long-term obligations In the government-wide financial statements long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the statement of net position. The recognition of bond premiums and discounts are amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bond issuance costs are reported as an expense in the period incurred. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognized bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. Pensions For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) and additions to/deductions from PERA’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by PERA. For this purpose, plan contributions are recognized as of employer payroll paid dates and benefit payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Deferred inflows of resources In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and fund financial statements will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The government has only one type of item, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting that qualifies as needing to be reported in this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from two sources: taxes and special assessments. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. The City has an additional item which qualifies for reporting in this category. The item, deferred pension resources, is reported only in the statement of net position and results from actuarial calculations. -51- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Fund balance In the fund financial statements, fund balance is divided into five classifications based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of resources reported in the governmental funds. These classifications are defined as follows: Nonspendable - Amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form, such as due from other funds. Restricted - Amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by creditors, grantors or contributors; or constraints imposed by state statutory provisions. Committed - Amounts constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed by formal action (resolution) of the City Council, which is the City’s highest level of decision-making authority. Committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Council modifies or rescinds the commitment by resolution. Assigned - Amounts constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed. In governmental funds other than the General fund, assigned fund balance represents all remaining amounts that are not classified as nonspendable and are neither restricted nor committed. In the General fund, assigned amounts represent intended uses established by the City Council itself or by an official to which the governing body delegates the authority. The City Council has adopted a fund balance policy which delegates the authority to assign amounts for specific purposes to the City Administrator. Unassigned - The residual classification for the General fund and also negative residual amounts in other funds. The City considers restricted amounts to be spent first when both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available. Additionally, the City would first use committed, then assigned, and lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund balance when expenditures are made. The City has formally adopted a fund balance policy for the General fund. The City’s policy is to maintain a minimum unrestricted fund balance of 35 percent of budgeted operating expenditures for cash-flow timing needs. Net position In the government-wide financial statements, net position represents the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources, and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. Net position is displayed in three components: a. Net investment in capital assets - Consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation reduced by any outstanding debt attributable to acquire capital assets. b. Restricted net position- Consist of net position balances restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, laws or regulations of other governments. c. Unrestricted net position- All other net position balances that do not meet the definition of “restricted” or “net investment in capital assets” When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. -52- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 Note 2: STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY A. Budgetary information Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for the General fund. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. The City does not use encumbrance accounting. In July of each year, all departments of the City submit requests for appropriations to the City Administrator so that a budget may be prepared. Before September 30th, the proposed budget is presented to the City Council for review. The City Council holds public hearings and a final budget is prepared and adopted in December. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. The City’s department heads, with the approval of the City Council, may make transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers of appropriations between departments require the approval of the City Council. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is the department level. The budget was not amended during the year. B.

Deposits and investments Deposits Custodial credit risk for deposits and investments is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposits and investments may not be returned or the City will not be able to recover collateral securities in the possession of an outside party. In accordance with Minnesota statutes and as authorized by the City Council, the City maintains deposits at those depository banks, all of which are members of the Federal Reserve System. Minnesota statutes require that all City deposits be protected by insurance, surety bond or collateral. The market value of collateral pledged must equal 110 percent of the deposits not covered by insurance, bonds, or irrevocable standby letters of credit from Federal Home Loan Banks. Minnesota statutes require that all collateral shall be placed in safekeeping in a restricted account at a Federal Reserve Bank, or in an account at a trust department of a commercial bank or other financial institution that is not owned or controlled by the financial institution furnishing the collateral. The selection should be approved by the City. Authorized collateral in lieu of a corporate surety bond includes: United States government Treasury bills, Treasury notes, Treasury bonds; Issues of United States government agencies and instrumentalities as quoted by a recognized industry quotation service available to the government entity; General obligation securities of any state or local government with taxing powers which is rated “A” or better by a national bond rating service, or revenue obligation securities of any state or local government with taxing powers which is rated “AA” or better by a national bond rating service; General obligation securities of a local government with taxing powers may be pledged as collateral against funds deposited by that same local government entity; Irrevocable standby letters of credit issued by Federal Home Loan Banks to a municipality accompanied by written evidence that the bank’s public debt is rated “AA” or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or Standard & Poor’s Corporation; and Time deposits that are fully insured by any federal agency. Minnesota statutes require that all collateral shall be placed in safekeeping in a restricted account at a Federal Reserve Bank, or in an account at a trust department of a commercial bank or other financial institution that is not owned or controlled by the financial institution furnishing the collateral. The selection should be approved by the City. At year end, the City’s carrying amount of deposits was $6,647,153 and the bank balance was $6,656,867. Of the bank balance, $504,043 was covered by federal depository insurance, and the remainder was covered by collateral held by the City’s agent in the City’s name. -54- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 Note 3: DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS - CONTINUED Investments As of December 31, 2016, the City had the following investments that are insured or registered, or securities held by the City or its agent in the City’s name.

(2) Interest rate risk is disclosed using the segmented time distribution method. N/A Indicates not applicable or unavailable. The investments of the City are subject to the following risks: Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. Ratings are provided by various credit rating agencies and where applicable, indicate associated credit risk. Minnesota statutes limit the City’s investments to the list on page 48 of the notes. Custodial Credit Risk. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The City’s investment policy does not address custodial credit risk but typically limits its exposure by purchasing insured or registered investments. Concentration of Credit Risk. The concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government’s investment in a single issuer. The City places no limit on the amount that may be invested in any one issuer. Interest Rate Risk. The interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. In accordance with its investment policy, the City manages its exposure to declines in fair values by limiting the maturity of its investment portfolio to less than five years.

Plan description The City participates in the following defined benefit pension plans administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA). PERA’s defined benefit pension plans are established and administered in accordance with Minnesota statutes, chapters 353 and 356. PERA’s defined benefit pension plans are tax qualified plans under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. General Employees Retirement Plan (GERF) All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City, are covered by the General Employees Retirement Fund (GERF). GERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated Plan members are covered by Social Security and Basic Plan members are not. The Basic Plan was closed to new members in 1967. All new members must participate in the Coordinated Plan. Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF) The PEPFF, originally established for police officers and firefighters not covered by a local relief association, now covers all police officers and firefighters hired since 1980. Effective July 1, 1999, the PEPFF also covers police officers and firefighters belonging to a local relief association that elected to merge with and transfer assets and administration to PERA. B. Benefits provided PERA provides retirement, disability and death benefits. Benefit provisions are established by Minnesota statute and can only be modified by the state legislature. Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. Increases are related to the funding ratio of the plan. Members in plans that are at least 90 percent funded for two consecutive years are given 2.5 percent increases. Members in plans that have not exceeded 90 percent funded, or have fallen below 80 percent, are given 1 percent increases. The benefit provisions stated in the following paragraphs of this section are current provisions and apply to active plan participants. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but are not receiving them yet are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their public service. GERF benefits Benefits are based on a member’s highest average salary for any five successive years of allowable service, age, and years of credit at termination of service. Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERA's Coordinated and Basic Plan members. The retiring member receives the higher of a step-rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1) or a level accrual formula (Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate for a Basic Plan member is 2.2 percent of average salary for each of the first ten years of service and 2.7 percent for each remaining year. The annuity accrual rate for a Coordinated Plan member is 1.2 percent of average salary for each of the first ten years and 1.7 percent for each remaining year. Under Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.7 percent of average salary for Basic Plan members and 1.7 percent for Coordinated Plan members for each year of service. For members hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal 90 and normal retirement age is 65. For members hired on or after July 1, 1989, normal retirement age is the age for unreduced Social Security benefits capped at 66. -63- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 Note 4: DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS - STATEWIDE - CONTINUED PEPFF benefits Benefits for the PEPFF members first hired after June 30, 2010, but before July 1, 2014 vest on a prorated basis from 50 percent after five years up to 100 percent after ten years of credited service. Benefits for PEPFF members first hired after June 30, 2014 vest on a prorated basis from 50 percent after ten years up to 100 percent after twenty years of credited service. The annuity accrual rate is 3 percent of average salary for each year of service. For PEPFF members who were first hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal at least 90. C. Contributions Minnesota statutes chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. Contribution rates can only be modified by the state legislature. GERF contributions Basic Plan members and Coordinated Plan members were required to contribute 9.10 percent and 6.25 percent, respectively, of their annual covered salary in calendar year 2015. Coordinated Plan members contributed 6.50 percent of pay in 2016. In calendar year 2015, the City was required to contribute the following percentages of annual covered payroll: 11.78 percent for Basic Plan members and 7.25 percent of Coordinated Plan members. In 2016, employer rates increased to 7.5 percent in the Coordinated Plan. The City’s contributions to the GERF for the year ending December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $52,496, $46,319 and $43,661. The City’s contributions were equal to the contractually required contributions for each year as set by Minnesota statute. PEPFF contributions Plan members were required to contribute 10.8 percent of their annual covered salary in calendar year 2016. The City was required to contribute 16.20 percent of pay for PEPFF members in calendar year 2016. The City’s contributions to the PEPFF for the years ending December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $93,418, $77,027, and $80,862 respectively. The City’s contributions were equal to the contractually required contributions for each year as set by Minnesota statute. D. Pension costs GERF pension costs At December 31, 2016, the City reported a liability of $860,667 for its proportionate share of the GERF’s net pension liability. The City’s net pension liability reflected a reduction due to the State of Minnesota’s contribution of $6 million to the fund in 2016. The State of Minnesota is considered a non-employer contributing entity and the State’s contribution meets the definition of a special funding situation. The State of Minnesota’s proportionate share of the net pension liability associated with the City totaled $11,305. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2015, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The City’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on the City’s contributions received by PERA during the measurement period for employer payroll paid dates from July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015, relative to the total employer contributions received from all of PERA’s participating employers. At June 30, 2015, the City’s proportionate share was 0.0106 percent which was an increase of 0.0004 percent from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2015. -64- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 Note 4: DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS - STATEWIDE - CONTINUED For the year ended December 31, 2016, the City recognized pension expense of $24,272 for its proportionate share of GERF’s pension expense. In addition, the City recognized an additional $3,371 as pension expense (and grant revenue) for its proportionate share of the State of Minnesota’s contribution of $6 million to the GERF. At December 31, 2016, the City reported its proportionate share of GERF’s deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources, and its contributions subsequent to the measurement date, from the following sources: Deferred OutflowsDeferred Inflows of Resourcesof Resources Differences between expected and actual experience2,987$ 71,758$ Changes in actuarial assumptions185,431 - Net difference between projected and actual earnings on plan investments 97,842 - Changes in proportion 16,603 45,988 Contributions to GERF subsequent to the measurement date 26,420 - Total 329,283$ 117,746$ Deferred outflows of resources totaling $26,420 related to pensions resulting from the City’s contributions to GERF subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ended December 31, 2017.

The City’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on the City’s contributions received by PERA during the measurement period for employer payroll paid dates from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 relative to the total employer contributions received from all of PERA’s participating employers. At June 30, 2016, the City’s proportionate share was 0.051 percent which was a decrease of 0.005 percent from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the City recognized pension expense of $194,484 for its proportionate share of PEPFF’s pension expense. The City also recognized $4,590 for the year ended December 31, 2016, as pension expense and grant revenue for its proportionate share of the State of Minnesota’s on-behalf contributions to the PEPFF. Legislation passed in 2013 required the State of Minnesota to begin contributing $9 million to the PEPFF each year, starting in fiscal year 2014. At December 31, 2016, the City reported its proportionate share of PEPFF’s deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources, and its contributions subsequent to the measurement date, from the following sources: DeferredDeferred OutflowsInflows of Resourcesof Resources Differences between expected and actual experience 515$ 226,180$ Changes in actuarial assumptions 1,208,412 - Net difference between projected and actual earnings on plan investments 170,034 - Changes in proportion - 108,038 Contributions to PEPFF subsequent to the measurement date 51,285 - Total 1,430,246$ 334,218$ Deferred outflows of resources totaling $51,285 related to pensions resulting from the City’s contributions to PEPFF subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ended December 31, 2017.

Actuarial assumptions The total pension liability in the June 30, 2015, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions: Inflation Active member payroll growth Investment rate of return 2.50% per year 3.25% per year 7.50% Salary increases were based on a service-related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees, survivors and disabilitants were based on RP-2014 tables for the GERF and RP-2000 tables for the PEPFF for males or females, as appropriate, with slight adjustments. Cost of living benefit increases for retirees are assumed to be: 1 percent per year for all future years for the GERF and PEPFF. Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2016 valuation were based on the results of actuarial experience studies. The experience study in the GERF was for the period July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2008, with an update of economic assumptions in 2014. The experience study for PEPFF was for the period July 1, 2004, through June 30, 2009. Experience studies have not been prepared for PERA’s other plans, but assumptions are reviewed annually. Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2016 valuation were based on the results of actuarial experience studies. The most recent four-year experience study in the GERF was completed in 2015The experience study for PEPFF was for the period July 1, 2004, through June 30, 2009. The following changes in actuarial assumptions occurred in 2016: GERF The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0 percent per year through 2035 and 2.5 percent per year thereafter to 1.0 percent per year for all future years. The assumed investment return was changed from 7.9 percent to 7.5 percent. The single discount rate was changed from 7.9 percent to 7.5 percent. Other assumptions were changed pursuant to the experience study dated June 30, 2015. The assumed future salary increases, payroll growth and inflation were decreased by 0.25 percent to 3.25 percent for payroll growth and 2.50 percent for inflation. PEPFF The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0 percent per year through 2037 and 2.5 percent per year thereafter to 1.0 percent per year for all future years. The assumed investment return was changed from 7.9 percent to 7.5 percent. The single discount rate was changed from 7.9 percent to 5.6 percent. The assumed future salary increases, payroll growth and inflation were decreased by 0.25 percent to 3.25 percent for payroll growth and 2.50 percent for inflation. -67- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 Note 4: DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS - STATEWIDE - CONTINUED The State Board of Investment, which manages the investments of PERA, prepares an analysis of the reasonableness return on a regular basis of the long-term expected rate of using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future rates of return are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce an expected long-term rate of return by weighting the expected future rates of return by the target asset allocation percentages. The target allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table: Asset Class Domestic stocks45.00 %5.50 % International stocks15.00 6.0 Bonds18.00 1.45 Alternative assets20.00 6.40 Cash 2.00 0.50 Total100.00 % TargetLong-Term Expected AllocationReal Rate of Return F. Discount rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50 percent, a reduction from the 7.90 percent used in 2015. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members and employers will be made at rates set in Minnesota statutes. Based on these assumptions, the fiduciary net position of the GERF was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. In the PEPFF, the fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members through June 30, 2056. Beginning in fiscal year ended June 30, 2057 for the PEPFF, when projected benefit payments exceed the funds’ projected fiduciary net position, benefit payments were discounted at the municipal bond rate of 2.85 percent based on an index of 20-year general obligation bonds with an average AA credit rating at the measurement date. An equivalent single discount rate of 5.60 percent for the PEPFF was determined that produced approximately the same present value of projected benefits when applied to all years of projected benefits as the present value of projected benefits using 7.50 percent applied to all years of projected benefits through the point of asset depletion and 2.85 percent after. -68- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 Note 4: DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS - STATEWIDE - CONTINUED G.

That report may be obtained on the Internet at www.mnpera.org. Note 5: POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS A. Plan description The City’s defined benefit healthcare plan (“the Retiree Health Plan”) provides healthcare insurance for eligible retirees and their spouses. The Retiree Health Plan is affiliated with the healthcare plan administered through LOGIS, an agent multiple-employer postemployment healthcare plan. LOGIS is a consortium of Minnesota local government units controlled by its members. LOGIS’ Board of Directors is composed of one representative from each agency. LOGIS issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the health plan. That report may be obtained by writing to LOGIS, 5750 Duluth Street, Golden Valley, MN 55422, or by calling (763) 543-2600. B. Funding policy The contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be amended by LOGIS’ Board of Directors. The required contributions are based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements. The City contributed $8,089 to the plan for the year ended December 31, 2016. As of January 1, 2016, the City has two retirees receiving health benefits from the plan. -69- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 Note 5: POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS - CONTINUED C. Annual other postemployment benefit cost The City’s annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC) of the City, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and to amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. The following table shows the components of the City’s annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the City’s net OPEB obligation: Annual required contribution 28,656$ Interest on net OPEB obligation 8,497 Adjustment to annual required contribution(7,371) Annual OPEB cost (expense)29,782 Contributions made (8,089) Increase in net OPEB obligation 21,693 Net OPEB obligation - beginning of year188,816 Net OPEB obligation - end of year 210,509$ The City’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB obligation for the fiscal years 2016 and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows: Fiscal YearAnnualNet OPEB EndingOPEB CostObligation 12/31/2016 29,782$ 27.0 %210,509$ 12/31/2015 33,658 25.0 188,816 12/31/2014 32,432 19.9 163,578 Trend Information Contributed Annual OPEB Percentage D. Funded status and funding progress As of January 1, 2016, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $210,509, all of which was unfunded. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $1,196,000, and the ratio of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability to the covered payroll was 27.0 percent. Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. -70- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016 Note 5: POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS - CONTINUED E. Methods and assumptions Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. In the January 1, 2016 actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used. The actuarial assumptions include a 4.50 discount rate, which is a blended rate of the expected long-term investment returns on plan assets and on the employer’s own investments. The initial healthcare trend rate was 9.0 percent, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of 5.00 percent after twelve years. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on an open basis. The remaining amortization period at December 31, 2016 was 30 years. Note 6: OTHER INFORMATION A. Risk management The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters for which the City carries insurance. The City obtains insurance through participation in the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) which is a risk sharing pool with approximately 800 other governmental units. The City pays an annual premium to LMCIT for its workers compensation and property and casualty insurance. The LMCIT is self-sustaining through member premiums and will reinsure for claims above a prescribed dollar amount for each insurance event. Settled claims have not exceeded the City’s coverage in any of the past three fiscal years. Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities, if any, include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNRs). The City’s management is not aware of any incurred but not reported claims. B. Legal debt margin The City’s statutory debt limit is computed as 3 percent of the taxable market value of property within the City. Long- term debt issued and financed partially or entirely by special assessments is excluded from the debt limit computation. The 2016 taxable value of property located in the City is $728,673,468 which calculated to a debt limit of $21,860,204. The City has $1,221,000 of debt subject to this limit. C. Commitment and contingencies Tax increment districts The City’s tax increment districts are subject to review by the State of Minnesota Office of the State Auditor (OSA). Any disallowed claims or misuse of tax increments could become a liability of the applicable fund. Management has indicated that they are not aware of any instances of noncompliance which would have a material effect on the financial statements. -71- THIS PAGE IS LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY -72- REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION CITY OF CORCORAN CORCORAN, MINNESOTA FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 -73- CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 Schedule of employer’s share of PERA net pension liability - General Employees Retirement Fund State's Proportionate City'sShare of Proportionatethe Net Pension Share of Liability City's Fiscalthe Net PensionAssociated withCovered Year Liability the City TotalPayroll Ending(a)(b)(a+b)(c) 06/30/160.0106 %860,667$ 11,305$ 871,972$ 658,533$ 132.4 %68.9 % 06/30/150.0102 528,617 - 528,617 601,092 87.9 78.7 the Net Pension Payrollof the Total Liability ((a+b)/c)Pension Liability Plan Fiduciary City's Liability as a Net Position Proportion of Percentage of as a PercentageCovered Required Supplementary Information City's Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Note: Schedule is intended to show 10-year trend.

Accordingly, had we performed additional procedures, other matters may have come to our attention regarding the City’s noncompliance with the above referenced provisions.

Our Responsibility under Auditing Standards Generally Accepted in the United States of America As stated in our engagement letter, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to express opinions about whether the financial statements prepared by management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your responsibilities. Our responsibility is to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement. As part of our audit, we considered the internal control over financial reporting of the City. Such considerations were solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control over financial reporting. We are responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures specifically to identify such matters. Significant Audit Findings In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. We did identify a certain deficiency in internal control that we consider to be a significant deficiency as described on the following page as finding 2016-001. -1- 2016-001 Preparation of financial statements Condition: As in prior years, we were requested to draft the audited financial statements and related footnote disclosures as part of our regular audit services. Auditing standards require auditors to communicate this situation to the City Council as an internal control deficiency. Ultimately, it is management’s responsibility to provide for the preparation of your statements and footnotes, and the responsibility of the auditor to determine the fairness of presentation of those statements. It is our responsibility to inform you that this deficiency could result in a material misstatement to the financial statements that could have been prevented or detected by your management. Essentially, the auditors cannot be part of your internal control process. Criteria: Internal controls should be in place to provide reasonable assurance over financial reporting. Cause: From a practical standpoint we do both for you at the same time in connection with our audit. This is not unusual for us to do with an organization of your size. Effect: The effectiveness of the internal control system relies on enforcement by management. The effect of deficiencies in internal controls can result in undetected errors in financial reporting. Recommendation: It is your responsibility to make the ultimate decision to accept this degree of risk associated with this condition because of cost or other considerations. As in prior years, we have instructed management to review a draft of the auditor prepared financials in detail for their accuracy; we have answered any questions they might have, and have encouraged research of any accounting guidance in connection with the adequacy and appropriateness of classification of disclosure in your statements. We are satisfied that the appropriate steps have been taken to provide you with the completed financial statements. While the City is reviewing the financial statements we recommend the City agree the balances in their financial software to the numbers reported in the financial statements. Management response: For now, the City’s management accepts the degree of risk associated with this condition and thoroughly reviews a draft of the financial statements. -2- Compliance As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. While our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion, it does not provide a legal determination on the City’s compliance with those requirements. As a result of our testing we noted no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under statutes set forth by the State of Minnesota. Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The City changed accounting policies during 2016 related to fair market value and application (GASB 72), accounting and financial reporting for pension and related assets not within the scope of GASB 68, including amendments to certain provisions GASB Statement No. 67 and No. 68 (GASB 73), and certain external investment pools and pool participants (GASB 79). We noted no transaction entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period. Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumption about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimate affecting the financial statements were depreciation on capital assets, allocation of payroll including compensated absences and other postemployment benefits, and the liability for the City’s pensions. • Management’s estimate of depreciation is based on estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method. • Allocations of gross wages and payroll benefits are approved by City Council within the City’s budget and are derived from each employee’s estimated time to be spent servicing the respective functions of the City. These allocations are also used in allocating accrued compensated absences payable. • Management’s estimate of its OPEB liability is based on several factors including, but not limited to, anticipated retirement age for active employees, life expectancy, turnover, and healthcare cost trend rate. • Management’s estimate of its pension liability is based on several factors including, but not limited to, anticipated investment return rate, retirement age for active employees, life expectancy, salary increases and form of annuity payment upon retirement. • The allocation of the pension liability related to Minnesota Public Employee Retirement Association (PERA) is based on the City’s proportionate share of employer contributions to the PERA cost-sharing multiple employer Coordinated pension plan. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these estimates in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The disclosures in the financial statements are neutral, consistent, and clear. Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit. Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion unit’s financial statements taken as a whole. -3- Disagreements with Management For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit. Management Representations We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated May 16, 2017. Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the governmental unit’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants. Other Audit Findings or Issues We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention. Other Matters We applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information (RSI) (Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the Schedules of Employer’s Share of the Net Pension Liability, the Schedules of Employer’s Contributions, and the Schedule of Funding Progress for Other Post-Employment Benefits Plan), which is information that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI. We were engaged to report on the supplementary information (combining and individual fund financial statements), which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves. We were not engaged to report on the introductory section, which accompany the financial statements but is not RSI. We did not audit or perform other procedures on this other information and we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it. Updating Previously Adopted Financial Guidelines During our audit we noted that the City has not had an update to its previously adopted financial guidelines outlining procedures and responsibilities since its adoption in 2012. The City has experienced turnover as well as restructuring of duties since the guidelines were prepared. It is also noted that in 2012, the City had yet to bill residents for utility bills which is a new item that we feel should be included in the financial guidelines. We recommend the City review the guidelines and adopt an updated report in 2017. -4- Financial Position and Results of Operations Our principal observations and recommendations are summarized below. These recommendations resulted from our observations made in connection with our audit of the City’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. General Fund The General fund is used to account for resources traditionally associated with government, which are not required legally or by sound principal management to be accounted for in another fund. The General fund balance increased $455,128 from 2015. The unrestricted fund balance of $1,753,252 is 42.3 percent of the 2017 budgeted expenditures. We recommend the fund balance be maintained at a level sufficient to fund operations until the major revenue sources are received in June. The City has a fund balance policy that sets a goal to maintain an unrestricted balance of not less than 35 percent of planned expenditures in reserve. At the current level, the fund balance is above the targeted level. A table summarizing the General fund balance in relation to budget follows: Unrestricted Unassigned General Fund Balance Fund Balance BudgetFund Year December 31December 31 Year Budget 2012 668,338$ 668,338$ 20133,175,544$ 21.0 %21.0 % 2013 961,389 961,389 20143,326,938 28.9 28.9 2014 1,085,355 1,085,355 20153,610,091 30.1 30.1 2015 1,393,881 1,250,986 20163,795,013 36.7 33.0 2016 1,753,252 1,453,252 20174,149,228 42.3 35.0 Percent of Unrestricted Fund Balance to Budget Percent of Unassigned Fund Balance to Budget Fund Balance as a Percent of Next Year’s Budget 21.0%28.9% 30.1% 36.7%42.3% 21.0%28.9%30.1%33.0%35.0% $3,175,544 $3,326,938 $3,610,091 $3,795,013 $4,149,228 $- $500,000 $1,000,000 $1,500,000 $2,000,000 $2,500,000 $3,000,000 $3,500,000 $4,000,000 $4,500,000 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Unresticted Fund Balance Unassigned Fund Balance Budget -5- The purposes and benefits of a fund balance are as follows: • Expenditures are incurred somewhat evenly throughout the year. However, property tax and state aid revenues are not received until the second half of the year. An adequate fund balance will provide the cash flow required to finance the governmental fund expenditures. • Expenditures not anticipated at the time the annual budget was adopted may need immediate City Council action. These would include capital outlay, replacement, lawsuits and other items. An adequate fund balance will provide the financing needed for such expenditures. • A strong fund balance will assist the City in maintaining, improving or obtaining its bond rating. The result will be better interest rates in future bond sales. A summary of 2016 General fund revenue and expenditures is as follows: Final Budgeted Actual Variance with AmountsAmounts Final Budget Revenues 3,733,112$ 4,044,784$ 311,672$ Expenditures 3,735,013 3,651,558 83,455 Excess of revenues over expenditures (1,901) 393,226 395,127 Other financing sources (uses) Transfers in 61,901 61,902 1 Transfers out (60,000) - 60,000 Total other financing sources (uses)1,901 61,902 60,001 Net change in fund balances - 455,128 455,128 Fund balances, January 1 1,410,656 1,410,656 - Fund balances, December 31 1,410,656$ 1,865,784$ 455,128$ • Revenues provided a positive budget variance of $311,672. The largest positive variances were in licenses and permits and special assessments which were $198,299 and $67,330 over budget, respectively. • Expenditures resulted in a positive budget variance of $83,455. The most significant variance was in public works with a positive variance of $59,417 due to less than expected expenditures in engineering costs, snow removal costs, and other supplies. -6- A more detailed comparison of General fund revenues for the last three years is as follows: Per 2014 2015 2016 Capita Taxes 2,816,660$ 2,919,160$ 3,106,071$ 75.7 %567$ Licenses and permits 132,407 320,160 406,549 9.9 74 Intergovernmental 272,939 296,271 263,874 6.4 48 Charges for services 163,830 162,313 94,441 2.3 17 Fines and forfeitures 42,278 41,988 48,952 1.2 9 Special assessments 20,295 - 67,330 1.6 12 Interest on investments 431 1,036 1,562 - - Miscellaneous 36,733 45,779 56,005 1.4 10 Transfers in - 21,205 61,902 1.5 11 Total revenues 3,485,573$ 3,807,912$ 4,106,686$ 100.0 %748$ Revenues Total Percent of The revenues and transfers summarized above are graphically presented as follows: Revenues $- $500,000 $1,000,000 $1,500,000 $2,000,000 $2,500,000 $3,000,000 $3,500,000 2014 2015 2016 Taxes Licenses and permits Intergovernmental Charges for services Other -7- A more detailed comparison of expenditures and transfers for the last three years is as follows: Peer Per Group Per 2014 2015 2016 Capita Capita General government 724,271$ 803,329$ 907,158$ 24.8 %166$ 133$ Public safety 1,360,744 1,394,409 1,507,309 41.3 275 236 Public works 1,168,598 1,183,838 1,138,291 31.2 208 112 Culture and recreation 55,494 63,503 59,744 1.6 11 59 Total current 3,309,107 3,445,079 3,612,502 98.9 660 540 Capital outlay 47,090 44,938 39,056 1.1 7 29 Transfers out 244,278 25,000 - - - - Total expenditures and transfers 3,600,475$ 3,515,017$ 3,651,558$ 100.0 %667$ 569$ Programs Total Percent of The above chart compares the amount the City spends per capita, in comparison to a peer group. We have compiled a peer group average derived from information we have requested from the Office of the State Auditor and then compiled data for Cities of the 4th class which have populations of 2,500-10,000. In 2014 and 2015, the average General fund balance as a percentage of expenditures was 75 percent and 78, percent, respectively. Based on comparison to the peer groups, the City’s General fund balance is below average. The expenditures and transfers summarized above are graphically presented as follows: Expenditures and Transfers $- $500,000 $1,000,000 $1,500,000 $2,000,000 $2,500,000 $3,000,000 $3,500,000 $4,000,000 2014 2015 2016 General government Public safety Public works Transfers out and other Total -8- Special Revenue Funds Special revenue funds include funds used to account for revenue derived from specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes.

Debt Service funds may have one or a combination of the following revenue sources pledged to retire debt as follows: • Property taxes - Primarily for general City benefit projects such as parks and municipal buildings. Property taxes may also be used to fund special assessment bonds which are not fully assessed. • Tax increments - Pledged exclusively for tax increment/economic development districts. • Special assessments - Charges to benefited properties for various improvements. In addition to the above pledged assets, other funding sources may be received by Debt Service funds as follows: • Residual project proceeds from the related capital projects fund • Investment earnings • State or federal grants • Transfers from other funds The following is a recap of the various Debt Service fund assets and related bond principal outstanding: Final Cash Total Outstanding Maturity Balances Assets Debt Date 309 G.O.

These revenues and other financing sources were used for capital related expenditures for the Downtown Redevelopment project. • The decrease in the Capital Equip-Cert fund was due to the purchase of two Police vehicles, a Mack truck, a generator, and the Snyder Field ball park scoreboard. -10- Enterprise Funds The Water and Sewer enterprise funds were created in 2013 and are accounted for in separate enterprise funds. Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent is that the costs of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. The results of the operations and the breakdown of the cash balances for the past two years are as follows: Water Operations 2014 2015 2016 Operating revenues -$ 14,069$ 36,316$ Operating expenses (300,717) (55,408) (140,995) Depreciation (31,140) (54,619) (54,683) Operating loss (331,857) (95,958) (159,362) Nonoperating expenses (54,146) 1,541 1,783 Interest expense (15,811) (52,595) (56,567) Loss before contributions and transfers (401,814) (147,012) (214,146) Capital contributions - from other funds - - 1,108,364 Capital contributions - connections and developer 643,457 360,077 730,853 Transfers out (125,887) - (30,951) Change in fund net position 115,756$ 213,065$ 1,594,120$ Cash and temporary investments 1,448,283$ 1,200,107$ 1,392,120$ Bonds and notes payable, net 2,080,728$ 1,668,289$ 1,725,090$ Water Cash Balances $(33,346) $1,448,283 $1,200,107 $1,392,120 $(200,000) $- $200,000 $400,000 $600,000 $800,000 $1,000,000 $1,200,000 $1,400,000 $1,600,000 2013 2014 2015 2016 Unrestricted Unspent bond proceeds -11- Sewer Operations 2014 2015 2016 Operating revenues -$ 4,415$ 26,858$ Operating expenses (543) (31,453) (15,018) Depreciation (35,115) (70,774) (70,872) Operating loss (35,658) (97,812) (59,032) Nonoperating expenses (42,030) (55,277) (49,654) Loss before contributions and transfers (77,688) (153,089) (108,686) Capital contributions from other funds - - 649,282 Capital contributions - connections 93,850 80,996 246,979 Transfers out (125,887) - (30,951) Change in fund net position (109,725)$ (72,093)$ 756,624$ Cash and temporary investments 744,980$ 529,206$ 513,099$ Bonds payable, net 1,375,227$ 1,701,430$ 1,626,183$ Sewer Cash Balances $(18,427) $744,980 $529,206 $513,099 $(100,000) $- $100,000 $200,000 $300,000 $400,000 $500,000 $600,000 $700,000 $800,000 2013 2014 2015 2016 Unrestricted Unspent bond proceeds Developer Agency Accounts In total, the City is maintaining $464,712 in cash in its developer funds. In addition to this balance the City is owed an additional $1,480 by accounts that are in deficit, which is current and related to timing of services provided and related escrow deposits near year end. City staff have appropriate procedures in place to monitor all current escrows and ensure that funds are collected in advance to cover the planning, legal, and engineering expenses. -12- Ratio Analysis The following captures a few ratios from the City’s financial statements that give some additional information for trend and peer group analysis. The peer group average is derived from information we have requested from the Office of the State Auditor for Cities of the 4th class which have populations between 2,500 and 10,000. In comparison to the peer group, it is important to remember the uniqueness of the City and it is really only comparable in size to the other Cities. The majority of these ratios facilitate the use of economic resources focus and accrual basis of accounting at the government-wide level. A combination of solvency (ability to pay its long-term obligations) and funding (comparison of financial amounts and economic indicators to measure changes in financial capacity over time) ratios are shown below.

It indicates the degree to which the City’s assets are financed through borrowings and other long-term obligations (i.e. a ratio of .50 would indicate half of the City’s assets are financed through outstanding debt). Bonded Debt per Capita (Funding Ratio) This dollar amount is arrived at by dividing the total bonded debt by the population of the City and represents the amount of bonded debt obligation for each citizen of the City at the end of the year. The higher the amount, the more resources are needed in the future to retire these obligations through taxes, assessments or user fees. Taxes per Capita (Funding Ratio) This dollar amount is arrived at by dividing the total tax revenues by the population of the City and represents the amount of taxes for each citizen of the City for the year. The higher this amount is, the more reliant the City is on taxes to fund its operations. Current Expenditures per Capita (Funding Ratio) This dollar amount is arrived at by dividing the total current governmental expenditures by the population of the City and represents the amount of governmental expenditure for each citizen of the City during the year. Since this is generally based on ongoing expenditures, we would expect consistent annual per capita results. Capital Expenditures per Capita (Funding Ratio) This dollar amount is arrived at by dividing the total governmental capital outlay expenditures by the population of the City and represents the amount of capital expenditure for each citizen of the City during the year. Since projects are not always recurring, the per capita amount will fluctuate from year to year. Capital Assets Percentage (Common-size Ratio) This percentage represents the percent of governmental or business-type capital assets that are left to be depreciated. The lower this percentage, the older the City’s capital assets are and may need major repairs or replacements in the near future. A higher percentage may indicate newer assets being constructed or purchased and may coincide with higher debt ratios or bonded debt per capita -14- Financial Management Plan Analysis City Multi-Year Financial Management Actual Plan Report Variance Governmental Funds - Fund Balances General Fund 1,865,784$ 1,230,918$ 634,866$ Tax Increment Financing - - - Hackamore Upgrade 850,516 - 850,516 Downtown Improvements 1,911,789 - 1,911,789 Debt Service Funds 310,360 237,502 72,858 Special Revenue Funds 61,619 41,781 19,838 Capital Project Funds 640,455 915,886 (275,431) Total governmental 5,640,523 2,426,087 3,214,436 Proprietary Funds - Net Position Water 2,799,951$ N/A N/A Sewer 1,583,919 N/A N/A Total 10,024,393$ 2,426,087$ 3,214,436$ City Multi-Year Financial Management Actual Plan Report Variance Governmental Funds General Fund 1,899,204$ 1,317,128$ 582,076$ Tax Increment Financing - 9,355 (9,355) Hackamore Upgrade 850,516 - 850,516 Downtown Improvements 2,020,213 - 2,020,213 Debt Service Funds 310,360 237,502 72,858 Special Revenue Funds 62,219 42,344 19,875 Capital Project Funds 684,682 959,942 (275,260) Total governmental 5,827,194 2,566,271 3,260,923 Proprietary Funds Water 1,392,120 2,349,337 (957,217) Sewer 513,099 798,569 (285,470) Total 7,732,413$ 5,714,177$ 2,018,236$ Cash Balances Comparison of Actual Results to the City's Multi-Year Financial Management Plan Report (Unaudited) December 31, 2016 Fund Balances/Net Position Starting in 2012 and updated in 2016, the City created and approved a multi-year financial management plan report adopted by the City Council.

This Statement results from a comprehensive review of the effectiveness of existing standards of accounting and financial reporting for all postemployment benefits (pensions and OPEB) with regard to providing decision-useful information, supporting assessments of accountability and interperiod equity, and creating additional transparency. This Statement replaces Statements No. 43, Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans, as amended, and No. 57, OPEB Measurements by Agent Employers and Agent Multiple-Employer Plans. It also includes requirements for defined contribution OPEB plans that replace the requirements for those OPEB plans in Statement No. 25, Financial Reporting for Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Note Disclosures for Defined Contribution Plans, as amended, Statement 43, and Statement No. 50, Pension Disclosures. Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions, establishes new accounting and financial reporting requirements for governments whose employees are provided with OPEB, as well as for certain nonemployer governments that have a legal obligation to provide financial support for OPEB provided to the employees of other entities. The scope of this Statement includes OPEB plans-defined benefit and defined contribution-administered through trusts that meet the following criteria: • Contributions from employers and nonemployer contributing entities to the OPEB plan and earnings on those contributions are irrevocable. • OPEB plan assets are dedicated to providing OPEB to plan members in accordance with the benefit terms. • OPEB plan assets are legally protected from the creditors of employers, nonemployer contributing entities, and the OPEB plan administrator. If the plan is a defined benefit OPEB plan, plan assets also are legally protected from creditors of the plan members. This Statement also includes requirements to address financial reporting for assets accumulated for purposes of providing defined benefit OPEB through OPEB plans that are not administered through trusts that meet the specified criteria. Effective Date and Transition This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2016. Earlier application is encouraged. -16- Future Accounting Standard Changes - Continued How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Financial Reporting The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting primarily through enhanced note disclosures and schedules of required supplementary information that will be presented by OPEB plans that are administered through trusts that meet the specified criteria. The new information will enhance the decision-usefulness of the financial reports of those OPEB plans, their value for assessing accountability, and their transparency by providing information about measures of net OPEB liabilities and explanations of how and why those liabilities changed from year to year. The net OPEB liability information, including ratios, will offer an up-to-date indication of the extent to which the total OPEB liability is covered by the fiduciary net position of the OPEB plan. The comparability of the reported information for similar types of OPEB plans will be improved by the changes related to the attribution method used to determine the total OPEB liability. The contribution schedule will provide measures to evaluate decisions related to the assessment of contribution rates in comparison with actuarially determined rates, if such rates are determined. In addition, new information about rates of return on OPEB plan investments will inform financial report users about the effects of market conditions on the OPEB plan’s assets over time and provide information for users to assess the relative success of the OPEB plan’s investment strategy and the relative contribution that investment earnings provide to the OPEB plan’s ability to pay benefits to plan members when they come due. GASB Statement No. 75 - Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other than Pension Summary The primary objective of this Statement is to improve accounting and financial reporting by state and local governments for postemployment benefits other than pensions (other postemployment benefits or OPEB). It also improves information provided by state and local governmental employers about financial support for OPEB that is provided by other entities. This Statement results from a comprehensive review of the effectiveness of existing standards of accounting and financial reporting for all postemployment benefits (pensions and OPEB) with regard to providing decision-useful information, supporting assessments of accountability and interperiod equity, and creating additional transparency. This Statement replaces the requirements of Statements No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions, as amended, and No. 57, OPEB Measurements by Agent Employers and Agent Multiple-Employer Plans, for OPEB. Statement No. 74, Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other than Pension Plans, establishes new accounting and financial reporting requirements for OPEB plans. The scope of this Statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for OPEB that is provided to the employees of state and local governmental employers. This Statement establishes standards for recognizing and measuring liabilities, deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and expense/expenditures. For defined benefit OPEB, this Statement identifies the methods and assumptions that are required to be used to project benefit payments, discount projected benefit payments to their actuarial present value, and attribute that present value to periods of employee service. Note disclosure and required supplementary information requirements about defined benefit OPEB also are addressed. In addition, this Statement details the recognition and disclosure requirements for employers with payables to defined benefit OPEB plans that are administered through trusts that meet the specified criteria and for employers whose employees are provided with defined contribution OPEB. This Statement also addresses certain circumstances in which a nonemployer entity provides financial support for OPEB of employees of another entity. In this Statement, distinctions are made regarding the particular requirements depending upon whether the OPEB plans through which the benefits are provided are administered through trusts that meet the following criteria: • Contributions from employers and nonemployer contributing entities to the OPEB plan and earnings on those contributions are irrevocable. • OPEB plan assets are dedicated to providing OPEB to plan members in accordance with the benefit terms. • OPEB plan assets are legally protected from the creditors of employers, nonemployer contributing entities, the OPEB plan administrator, and the plan members. -17- Future Accounting Standard Changes - Continued Effective Date This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2017. Earlier application is encouraged. How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Financial Reporting The requirements of this Statement will improve the decision-usefulness of information in employer and governmental nonemployer contributing entity financial reports and will enhance its value for assessing accountability and interperiod equity by requiring recognition of the entire OPEB liability and a more comprehensive measure of OPEB expense. Decision-usefulness and accountability also will be enhanced through new note disclosures and required supplementary information, as follows: • More robust disclosures of assumptions will allow for better informed assessments of the reasonableness of OPEB measurements. • Explanations of how and why the OPEB liability changed from year to year will improve transparency. • The summary OPEB liability information, including ratios, will offer an indication of the extent to which the total OPEB liability is covered by resources held by the OPEB plan, if any. • For employers that provide benefits through OPEB plans that are administered through trusts that meet the specified criteria, the contribution schedules will provide measures to evaluate decisions related to contributions. The consistency, comparability, and transparency of the information reported by employers and governmental nonemployer contributing entities about OPEB transactions will be improved by requiring: • The use of a discount rate that considers the availability of the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position associated with the OPEB of current active and inactive employees and the investment horizon of those resources, rather than utilizing only the long-term expected rate of return regardless of whether the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position is projected to be sufficient to make projected benefit payments and is expected to be invested using a strategy to achieve that return. • A single method of attributing the actuarial present value of projected benefit payments to periods of employee service, rather than allowing a choice among six methods with additional variations. • Immediate recognition in OPEB expense, rather than a choice of recognition periods, of the effects of changes of benefit terms. • Recognition of OPEB expense that incorporates deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB over a defined, closed period, rather than a choice between an open or closed period. GASB Statement No. 80 - Blending Requirements for Certain Component Units - an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 14 Summary The objective of the Statement is to improve financial reporting by clarifying the financial statement presentation requirements for certain component units. This Statement amends the blending requirements established in paragraph 53 of Statement No. 14, The Financial Reporting Entity, as amended. This Statement amends the blending requirements for the financial statement presentation of component units of all state and local governments. The additional criterion requires blending of a component unit incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation in which the primary government is the sole corporate member. The additional criterion does not apply to component units included in the financial reporting entity pursuant to the provisions of Statement No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units. -18- Future Accounting Standard Changes - Continued Effective Date The requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2016. Earlier application is encouraged. How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Financial Reporting The requirements of this Statement enhance the comparability of financial statements among governments. Greater comparability improves the decision-usefulness of information reported in financial statements and enhances its value for assessing government accountability. GASB Statement No. 81 - Irrevocable Split-Interest Agreements Summary The objective of this Statement is to improve accounting and financial reporting for irrevocable split-interest agreements by providing recognition and measurement guidance for situations in which a government is a beneficiary of the agreement. Split-interest agreements are a type of giving agreement used by donors to provide resources to two or more beneficiaries, including governments. Split-interest agreements can be created through trusts - or other legally enforceable agreements with characteristics that are equivalent to split-interest agreements - in which a donor transfers resources to an intermediary to hold and administer for the benefit of a government and at least one other beneficiary. Examples of these types of agreements include charitable lead trusts, charitable remainder trusts, and life-interests in real estate. This Statement requires that a government that receives resources pursuant to an irrevocable split-interest agreement recognize assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources at the inception of the agreement. Furthermore, this Statement requires that a government recognize assets representing its beneficial interests in irrevocable split-interest agreements that are administered by a third party, if the government controls the present service capacity of the beneficial interests. This Statement requires that a government recognize revenue when the resources become applicable to the reporting period. Effective Date The requirements of this Statement are effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and should be applied retroactively. Earlier application is encouraged. How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Financial Reporting This Statement enhances the comparability of financial statements by providing accounting and financial reporting guidance for irrevocable split-interest agreements in which a government is a beneficiary. This Statement also enhances the decision- usefulness of general purpose external financial reports, and their value for assessing accountability, by more clearly identifying the resources that are available for the government to carry out its mission. GASB Statement No. 82 - Pension Issues an Amendment of GASB Statements No. 67, No. 68, and No. 73 Summary The objective of this Statement is to address certain issues that have been raised with respect to Statements No. 67, Financial Reporting for Pension Plans, No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions, and No. 73, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and Related Assets That Are Not within the Scope of GASB Statement 68, and Amendments to Certain Provisions of GASB Statements 67 and 68. Specifically, this Statement addresses issues regarding (1) the presentation of payroll- related measures in required supplementary information, (2) the selection of assumptions and the treatment of deviations from the guidance in an Actuarial Standard of Practice for financial reporting purposes, and (3) the classification of payments made by employers to satisfy employee (plan member) contribution requirements. -19- Future Accounting Standard Changes - Continued Presentation of Payroll-Related Measures in Required Supplementary Information Prior to the issuance of this Statement, Statements 67 and 68 required presentation of covered-employee payroll, which is the payroll of employees that are provided with pensions through the pension plan, and ratios that use that measure, in schedules of required supplementary information. This Statement amends Statements 67 and 68 to instead require the presentation of covered payroll, defined as the payroll on which contributions to a pension plan are based, and ratios that use that measure. Selection of Assumptions This Statement clarifies that a deviation, as the term is used in Actuarial Standards of Practice issued by the Actuarial Standards Board, from the guidance in an Actuarial Standard of Practice is not considered to be in conformity with the requirements of Statement 67, Statement 68, or Statement 73 for the selection of assumptions used in determining the total pension liability and related measures. Classification of Employer-Paid Member Contributions This Statement clarifies that payments that are made by an employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are identified by the pension plan terms as plan member contribution requirements should be classified as plan member contributions for purposes of Statement 67 and as employee contributions for purposes of Statement 68. It also requires that an employer's expense and expenditures for those amounts be recognized in the period for which the contribution is assessed and classified in the same manner as the employer classifies similar compensation other than pensions (for example, as salaries and wages or as fringe benefits). Effective Date The requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2016, except for the requirements of this Statement for the selection of assumptions in a circumstance in which an employer's pension liability is measured as of a date other than the employer's most recent fiscal year-end. In that circumstance, the requirements for the selection of assumptions are effective for that employer in the first reporting period in which the measurement date of the pension liability is on or after June 15, 2017. Earlier application is encouraged. How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Financial Reporting The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by enhancing consistency in the application of financial reporting requirements to certain pension issues. -20- Future Accounting Standard Changes - Continued GASB Statement No. 83 - Certain Asset Retirement Obligations Summary This Statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for certain asset retirement obligations (AROs). An ARO is a legally enforceable liability associated with the retirement of a tangible capital asset. A government that has legal obligations to perform future asset retirement activities related to its tangible capital assets should recognize a liability based on the guidance in this Statement. This Statement establishes criteria for determining the timing and pattern of recognition of a liability and a corresponding deferred outflow of resources for AROs. This Statement requires that recognition occur when the liability is both incurred and reasonably estimable. The determination of when the liability is incurred should be based on the occurrence of external laws, regulations, contracts, or court judgments, together with the occurrence of an internal event that obligates a government to perform asset retirement activities. Laws and regulations may require governments to take specific actions to retire certain tangible capital assets at the end of the useful lives of those capital assets, such as decommissioning nuclear reactors and dismantling and removing sewage treatment plants. Other obligations to retire tangible capital assets may arise from contracts or court judgments. Internal obligating events include the occurrence of contamination, placing into operation a tangible capital asset that is required to be retired, abandoning a tangible capital asset before it is placed into operation, or acquiring a tangible capital asset that has an existing ARO. This Statement requires the measurement of an ARO to be based on the best estimate of the current value of outlays expected to be incurred. The best estimate should include probability weighting of all potential outcomes, when such information is available or can be obtained at reasonable cost. If probability weighting is not feasible at reasonable cost, the most likely amount should be used. This Statement requires that a deferred outflow of resources associated with an ARO be measured at the amount of the corresponding liability upon initial measurement. This Statement requires the current value of a government's AROs to be adjusted for the effects of general inflation or deflation at least annually. In addition, it requires a government to evaluate all relevant factors at least annually to determine whether the effects of one or more of the factors are expected to significantly change the estimated asset retirement outlays. A government should remeasure an ARO only when the result of the evaluation indicates there is a significant change in the estimated outlays. The deferred outflows of resources should be reduced and recognized as outflows of resources (for example, as an expense) in a systematic and rational manner over the estimated useful life of the tangible capital asset. A government may have a minority share (less than 50 percent) of ownership interest in a jointly owned tangible capital asset in which a nongovernmental entity is the majority owner and reports its ARO in accordance with the guidance of another recognized accounting standards setter. Additionally, a government may have a minority share of ownership interest in a jointly owned tangible capital asset in which no joint owner has a majority ownership, and a nongovernmental joint owner that has operational responsibility for the jointly owned tangible capital asset reports the associated ARO in accordance with the guidance of another recognized accounting standards setter. In both situations, the government's minority share of an ARO should be reported using the measurement produced by the nongovernmental majority owner or the nongovernmental minority owner that has operational responsibility, without adjustment to conform to the liability measurement and recognition requirements of this Statement. In some cases, governments are legally required to provide funding or other financial assurance for their performance of asset retirement activities. This Statement requires disclosure of how those funding and assurance requirements are being met by a government, as well as the amount of any assets restricted for payment of the government's AROs, if not separately displayed in the financial statements. This Statement also requires disclosure of information about the nature of a government's AROs, the methods and assumptions used for the estimates of the liabilities, and the estimated remaining useful life of the associated tangible capital assets. If an ARO (or portions thereof) has been incurred by a government but is not yet recognized because it is not reasonably estimable, the government is required to disclose that fact and the reasons therefor. This Statement requires similar disclosures for a government's minority shares of AROs. Effective Date The requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2018. Earlier application is encouraged. -21- Future Accounting Standard Changes - Continued How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Financial Reporting This Statement will enhance comparability of financial statements among governments by establishing uniform criteria for governments to recognize and measure certain AROs, including obligations that may not have been previously reported. This Statement also will enhance the decision-usefulness of the information provided to financial statement users by requiring disclosures related to those AROs. (1) Note.

City Administrator Martens presented the report noting the timeline of the receipt of the petition and the adoption of an assessment policy. City Administrator Martens noted the adopted assessment policy required a letter of benefit to be obtained and the proposed assessment would be 90 percent of the low median value of the benefit. Council discussed the implementation of the assessment policy, working with residents to find a web based system for gathering feedback, and financing mechanisms. Council discussed the opinion of the public works department on the condition of roads, the need for paving, increasing the maintenance program, obtaining a higher percentage of residents petitioning for the paving project and a cost estimate for the residents of a paving project. City Administrator Martens noted under the most recent letter of benefit received by the City, it is estimated the benefit of paving to be $12,000.00 to $15,000.00 per property. Under the current policy, 90 percent of the lower estimate of approximately $12,000.00 would be assessed to residents of a future paving project, leaving an estimated funding gap of $100,000.00 for the project. Council discussed interest in the project with a funding gap, obtaining a list of local road priorities and working with residents to keep them informed on the project. MOTION: made by Keefe, seconded by LaFave to take no action on the petition; direct staff to study Sundance Road for recommended improvements and rank local roads in paving priority. Voting Aye: Thomas, Dejewski, Keefe, and LaFave (Motion carried 4:0) 10. New Business a.

Voting Aye: Thomas, Dejewski, Keefe, and LaFave (Motion carried 4:0) b. RFP-Review – Fire Service Comprehensive Growth Plan Director of Public Safety Gottschalk presented the report noting the purpose for the study was to provide a tool for long term planning and ESCI’s proposal was the most comprehensive in meeting the requirements of the study. Council discussed costs, how it would fit into the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, and investigating a partnership with surrounding communities on the study. Director of Public Safety Gottschalk noted staff had considered partnering but wanted Corcoran to be the focus of the study, and when a study is expanded to others communities the outcome can be influenced by other stakeholders. Council discussed looking at reducing the cost and or content. City Administrator Martens noted he sees working with surrounding communities as a future step after the study is complete and staff could negotiate on costs.

Council Meeting: May 25, 2017 Prepared By: Jessica Beise Topic: 2017 Fee Schedule Amendment Action Required: Approval Summary: Attached to this report is an ordinance amending the 2017 fee schedule. The following changes are included: • Water and Sewer Hook Up/Connection Permit Fees o With new downtown water and sewer connections a plumbing review and connection inspection is required. This fee would also be applicable to other existing properties who would connect to municipal services. • Building Code Surcharges o The current surcharge allowed by state regulations is $1.00 but was inadvertently in the fee schedule at the previous $5.00 rate. All permits issued have been at the correct $1.00 rate; this is a clerical clean up. Financial/Budget: Minor costs will be incurred to publish the ordinance. Alignment with Values: This item relates to the following adopted values: EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY IN THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES We believe that service to the public is our reason for being and strive to deliver quality services in a highly professional, cost-effective, and friendly manner. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY We believe that fiscal responsibility and the prudent stewardship of public funds is essential for citizen confidence in government.

This year-long process was kicked off with a joint City Council/Commission work session on March 16th followed by a community open house on April 17th and a Parks and Trails Commission update on April 18th. The City Council will have a key issues work session on April 20th, followed by a key issues update at the Planning Commission on May 4th. The next public open house is scheduled for Night to Unite on August 1st. 2.City Code Amendments (city file 17-005). The City Council authorized staff to make several small and “clean up” ordinance amendments. The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval after a public hearing at the May 4th Planning Commission meeting. Council action is expected at the May 25th meeting. 3.Bass Lake Crossing Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning to PUD, Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD Development Plan for property at 19400 CR 10 (PID 25-119-23-13-0002 & 25- 119-23-13-0003) (City File 17-012). M/I Homes submitted the application on April 19, 2017 and staff is reviewing the application for completeness. If the application is complete, it will be scheduled for Parks Commission review on May 16th, a public hearing at the June 8th Planning Commission meeting and June 29th City Council action. 4.Ravinia 7th Addition PUD Final Plan and Final Plat (City File 17-013). Lennar has submitted a request for approval. Staff is reviewing for completeness, but we expect this item to be placed on the July 6th Planning Commission meeting and July 27th City Council agenda. Also, there are several projects that have been approved, but are still not filed and closed out: 1.Corcoran Business Park (City file 06-005). The City Council granted a one-year extension to the final plat approval, which expired on April 12, 2011. Staff has spoken to the applicant and is still working to close out this project. Staff has spoken to the applicant and will schedule a meeting when more information is available on the Loretto sewer project. 2.Hope Ministries Conditional Use Permit for Cemetery and Vacation of Drainage & Utility Easement at 19951 Oswald Farm Road (City file 12-002). Hope Ministries submitted a request for a conditional use permit to allow a cemetery west of the existing church. The application was approved by the City Council on March 22nd and site work had begun. The letter of credit for site improvements has been released, but we are holding the escrow pending completion of the approved landscaping.

TO: Corcoran City Council FROM: Kendra Lindahl, Landform D ATE: May 18, 2017 for the May 25, 2017 City Council Meeting RE: City-Initiated City Code Amendments (city file no. 17-005) 60-DAY REVIEW DEADLINE: N/A 1.Application Request At their March 23, 2017 meeting, the City Council directed staff to draft an ordinance amendment to the to make a number amendments to the City. These items are primarily clean up issues to bring the City Code into compliance with state law, make the Code consistent with City process or correct minor errors. 2.Planning Commission Review The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 4th. There was no one present to speak on this item. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposed amendments with one change to modify Section 81.06 (Section 4 of the draft ordinance) to delete references to private property. They felt that the nuisance ordinance could be applied in those cases. 3.Proposed Ordinance Amendments Staff and consulting staff regularly make note of statutory changes that require updates to our ordinances and other issues where the City Code should be updated. The list has grown to the point that staff believes that it is time for a clean-up. This effort was refined to include these items that we believe are truly clean up and not those issues that would lead to larger policy discussions. Staff recommends the changes as shown by deleting the material and adding the underlined material as shown in the attached ordinance. Specifically, we recommend: a.Amend Chapter 40 (Construction Regulations) to correct statute references and to clarify the process - Section 40.08 Subd. 3. Is modified to make the survey exemption language consistent with City practice and allow exemptions based on a site plan review as part of the building permit application process rather than an Administrative permit. We also recommend deletion of sections 40.05-40.07, which are addressed elsewhere. b.Amend Chapter 80 to clarify definitions of junk vehicles. Agenda Item 10a. Ordinance Amendment (city file 17-005) 2 May 25, 2017 c. Add a section requiring that pet owners clean up animal waste from public walks, recreational or private property. d. Correct typographic and numbering errors in the sign ordinance. e. Amend the area requirements sections in Section 1040 to ensure that the roadway classifications where the 100-foot setback are required are consistent with the terms used in the adopted Comprehensive Plan. The language change clarifies that the larger setback is required from all County roads (the ordinance continues to allow reduction in the setback with the addition of landscaping, which was used by Lennar to reduce the setback on CR 101). f. Amend Section 1030.010 Sub. 4. A. 2. to make driveway permit language consistent with City practice. The current language is somewhat vague and should be amended to clarify when a driveway permit is required, (i.e. new driveways, relocated driveways, modified driveways) and by whom the permit is issued. g. Amend Section 1030.020, Subd. 2 to clarify language regarding timing of construction of accessory structures. Clarifying this language will prevent accessory structures being constructed prior to principle structures. h. Bring the City Code into compliance with the 2015 Building Code changes to eliminate confusion. The State Building Code takes precedence and have different numbers in our code is confusing for residents: i. Amend Section 1060.080, Subd. 1(F) to allow fences up to 7 feet high without a permit (Change from 6 feet to 7 feet for consistency with the Building Code) ii. Amend Section 1030.020 to allow a 200-square foot accessory building without a permit (change from 120 square feet to 200 square feet for consistency with the Building Code) iii. Clarify when building permits are required. i. Amend Section 1060.080, Subd. 1(E) to be consistent with city approval process. The Code requires a survey and review, but does not specifically require a permit. The amendment would clarify that a permit is required. j. Amend Section 1060.060, Subd. 5 to clarify that driveways must be located outside of easements for consistency with engineering standards and city practice. k. Modify language in the CR district to be clear that outside storage is allowed as a permitted use accessory to Contractors Operations. l. Correct minor typographical errors. Ordinance Amendment (city file 17-005) 3 May 25, 2017 4. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following, as recommended by the Planning Commission: a. Ordinance 2017-348 Amending the City Code b. Resolution 2017-21 approving findings of fact for Ordinance amendment c. Ordinance 2017-349 approving Summary Publication of Ordinance Amendment Approval of the ordinance and resolution require a 3/5 vote of the City Council.

TO: Corcoran City Council FROM: Mary Matze through Kendra Lindahl, Landform DATE: May 17, 2017 for the May 25, 2017 City Council Meeting RE: Interim Use Permit for Community Solar Garden at 23850 County Road 50 (PID 1911923320001) (City File 17-007) 60-DAY REVIEW DEADLINE:Incomplete 1.Application Request Sunrise Solar dba SEV MN 2, LLC submitted a request for approval of an interim use permit for a community solar garden on approximately 80.02-acres at 23850 County Road 50. The application is technically incomplete because a survey and verification of the wetlands has not been provided; however, as the wetland delineation cannot be completed until mid-May, staff has agreed to process this application and make completion of these items a condition of approval. 2.Planning Commission Meeting Planning Commission reviewed the application and held a public hearing on May 4, 2017. The Planning Commission vote 3-2 to recommend approval (Jacobs and Russell voted nay). Ten people spoke at the public hearing. Comments were primarily from residents of Greenfield to west of the project. Staff has included letters that were submitted as attachments in the packet. The following concerns and questions were raised at the meeting: Will there be noise from the transformers? The applicant stated that the transformers reach a maximum of 65 decibels. According to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s “Guide to Noise Control” 60 decibels has the same noise equivalent of listening to a person speak from one meter away and 70 decibels has the same noise level as a vacuum cleaner three meters away. Staff notes that the proposed locations for the inverter boxes are several hundred feet away from the perimeter of the property and it is unlikely that the noise at 65 decibels can be heard from that distance. The appearance of the solar garden will impact my property value. Staff researched data related to solar farms / gardens related to property values and found that there is limited information available on the impact of solar gardens on adjacent property values. Studies are primarily limited to placing solar panels on the rooftops of homes. Rooftop solar is shown to increase property values. Staff found one appraiser commissioned Agenda Item:10b. Sunrise Solar IUP (17-007) 2 May 25, 2017 by the solar industry in North Carolina that evaluated solar gardens adjacent to residential and agricultural properties that found “no impact in sale price for residential, agricultural or vacant residential land that adjoins existing or proposed solar farms.” Planning Commissioners recommended that staff revise conditions so that the applicant is required to provide additional study points for glare along County Road 50 and County Road 19 and to require landscaping along the western boundary of the property even when mature trees exist. Planning Commissioners also recommended requiring a City staff person to walk the site with the applicant to identify those mature trees to be saved. The Commission also required that that the views along County Road 50 and from the north be screened by existing or proposed landscaping. 3. Revisions since the Planning Commission Meeting Since the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant has submitted a revised memo that includes renderings of what the panels and landscaping could look like, a preliminary survey, a revised landscaping plan, a landscape installation plan, a letter from an appraiser regarding the impact of solar panels on property values, and a letter from their attorney. The applicant has made several requests regarding landscaping and staff has incorporated a discussion of these requests in the report. 4. Context Level of City Discretion in Decision-Making The City’s discretion in approving or denying an interim use permit is limited to whether or not the proposed request meets the standards outlined in the City Code. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the interim use permit. Zoning and Land Use The property is guided Rural / Ag Residential and zoned RR (Rural Residential). Surrounding Properties The surrounding properties are guided Rural / Ag Residential and zoned RR (Rural Residential). Natural Characteristics of the Site The site is currently used for farming and there is a home with associated accessory buildings on site. The North Fork of Rush Creek terminates on the northern portion of the site, which is classified as a protected water and is subject to the Shoreland Overlay District standards. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan shows a Greenway Corridor Overlay in the middle of the property and a planned off-road trail. The Natural Resource Inventory Areas map in the Comprehensive Plan shows that the areas on this site have emergent and shrub wetland plant communities. Sunrise Solar IUP (17-007) 3 May 25, 2017 The applicant provided a wetland delineation report, but the wetland delineation will not be reviewed by Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission (ECWMC) until May. Background On August 25, 2016 City Council adopted a solar ordinance that allows multiple types of solar facilities in the City. Community solar gardens produce energy that is channeled into the local power grid. While the energy produced by the community solar garden is used locally, it is technically purchased by subscribers that reside in Hennepin County or a neighboring county. While the ordinance includes provisions for many types of solar installations, Community Solar Gardens are the largest scale systems that are allowed in the new ordinance. The ordinance allows the City to approve community solar gardens via an Interim Use Permit in the RR District. 5. Analysis of Request Staff has reviewed the application for consistency with Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance and City Code requirements, as well as City policies. The City Engineer’s comments are incorporated into this staff report. Interim Use Permit The applicant is requesting approval of an Interim Use Permit to allow construction and operation of a five megawatt (MW) community solar garden on approximately 80.02-acres at 23850 County Road 50. There is an existing home and several accessory buildings that will be removed for the installation of the panels. Section 1060.110 (Solar Energy Systems) of the Zoning Ordinance allows the City to approve Interim Use permits for Community Solar Gardens for property in the RR District if the ordinance standards are met. Zoning and Land Use The subject property is guided Agricultural / Rural and zoned Rural Residential (RR). Survey The plans provided by the applicant are based on aerial photos and Lidar data so that the survey work can be completed at the same time as the wetland delineation. The applicant has indicated that the field verification of the wetlands cannot be completed until May. While these two items make the application technically incomplete, there is enough information available to determine whether or not the use is appropriate for the site. Staff has included a condition that the applicant provide a site plan using the boundary and topographic survey to staff for review and approval prior to building permit. Sunrise Solar IUP (17-007) 4 May 25, 2017 Glare Section 1060.110, Subd. 3, 4 of the Zoning Ordinance requires the applicant to submit a glare study from Sandia National Laboratories that analyzes the potential for temporary after-image resulting from placement of solar panels. The tool categorizes the potential for eye damage into three categories: “low potential for temporary after-image,” “potential for temporary after-image” and “potential for permanent eye damage.” If the results of the study demonstrate that there is “potential for temporary after-image”, the ordinance requires that the applicant install panels with anti-reflective coating or textured glass. If the results of the study demonstrate that the panels will result in potential for permanent eye damage, they are not permitted. The applicant provided a glare study that shows there will be “potential for temporary after-image” at several observation points, which were placed on adjacent residential homes, primarily immediately to the west of the solar garden, as shown in Figure 1. Since the time the ordinance was written, staff has completed further research about the types of panels that are available that mitigate for glare and found that the types of panels used in community solar gardens are typically high quality and are constructed to mitigate nuisance glare. The applicant has provided details about the panel types proposed and the specifications note that anti- reflective coating will be provided on the panels. Staff feels that glare has the most nuisance potential for residents that live nearby and for adjacent roadways. The effects of glint and glare may also be mitigated through the use of vegetation, which is provided along the eastern, western, and southern border of the parcel, but not along the northern border of the parcel. However, the panels are setback from the northern boundaries of the site due to the location of the wetlands. There is one additional home to the north of the property that does not have a study point. There does not appear to be any additional nearby homes or structures to the north of the property. However, property owners to the east could subdivide the land for residential units, and staff feels that additional study points on adjacent properties would provide a better understanding of the visual impacts of the panels on nearby properties. The code does not specify where the location of the study points should be. Planning Commission recommended that the applicant provide additional study points every 100 feet along County Road 50 and County Road 19 for review and approval. Figure 1- Location of Glare Observation Points Sunrise Solar IUP (17-007) 5 May 25, 2017 Power and communication lines The facility does not require any sewer or water connection and will connect to the existing electrical infrastructure. Section 1060.110, Subd. 3, 5 of the Zoning Ordinance provides standards for power and communication lines. Specifically, the standard notes that lines running between banks of solar panels and to electric substations or interconnections with buildings shall be buried underground and that all new power lines shall be buried consistent with Section 945.060 (Other Utilities) of the Subdivision Ordinance. Section 945.060, Subd. 1 states that whenever existing utility facilities are located above ground, except when existing on public roads and right-of-way, they shall be removed and placed underground. There is an existing power line along County Road 50. The plans show that the existing power line meets the point of interconnection several feet into the property, however, based on Google imagery it appears as though the existing power line does not step back several feet into the property. It is unclear from the submitted plans whether or not the point of interconnection will be buried or if power poles will be added to the site to connect to the existing power lines. Staff will verify the interconnection burial and location of existing power lines when a survey has been submitted. Staff has included a condition that the revised plans demonstrate that no additional power poles will be added to the site and that all power lines and the point of interconnection will be buried. Setback Standards Section 1060.110, Subd. 3. A. 6. of the Zoning Ordinance provides standards for solar setbacks. The proposed project meets or fails to meet these setbacks as follows: Dimensional standard Required (RR District) Proposed* From residential dwelling units 100 feet 75 feet Does not comply Principal Front Setback 50 feet 100 feet Complies Side 25 feet 25 feet Complies Rear 25 feet 25 feet Complies *estimated by staff On the southwest corner of the project site, there is a home on the adjacent parcel that appears to be less than 100 feet from the panel array layout. Staff has included a condition that the applicant must demonstrate compliance with the 100-foot setback from residential dwelling units and label the setback on the plans. Wetlands The applicant has submitted a plan showing several wetbacks on the project site, however, the wetland boundaries have not been confirmed in the field. Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission (ECWMC) will not review the delineation report until the wetland boundaries have been Sunrise Solar IUP (17-007) 6 May 25, 2017 reviewed and approved in the spring (normally after May 15th). Section 1050, Subd. 5 of the Zoning Ordinance requires wetland buffer strips and setbacks for lots of record created after March 23, 2004. Since the applicant is not subdividing, wetland buffers are not required by the City, however, they are strongly encouraged. The applicant will need to comply with Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission (ECWMC) standards for wetland buffers. Staff has included this as a condition of approval. An ecological report has been provided by the applicant showing that there will be no impact on biodiversity. This report is available at City Hall for review. Shoreland Overlay District The proposed lot is located in the Shoreland Overlay District, which includes all property within 300 feet of the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) of the creek. Section 1050.020, Subd. 5 requires a 100-foot setback from the OHWL for all structures. Plans show a 100’ buffer around the stream. However, since a survey and wetland delineation has not been completed, the OHWL has not been identified. Therefore, staff has included a condition that the OHWL be identified on the survey and that all panels comply with the setback requirements. Staff has included a condition that the applicant update plans to show the Shoreland Overlay District Boundary that is consistent with the OHWL and that should the OHWL change, panel layout should be revised to comply with the requirements of the Shoreland Overlay District. Section 1050.020, Subd. 11 of the Zoning Ordinance states that impervious surface coverage of lots must not exceed 25% of the lot area. According to the ECWMC review of the stormwater management report, 6.5 acres of impervious surface will be added to the site, which is 8% of the lot area. Staff finds that impervious surface coverage complies with the Ordinance. Floodplain A portion of the property is located in the Floodplain District. Map number 27053C0132F shows that a portion of the site is in the “Floodway” and a portion of the site is in the “Flood Fringe.” It appears from the site plan that no panels are proposed in either the Floodway or the Flood Fringe. Staff has included a condition that the floodplain areas be shown on the revised site plan. Panel Height The applicant provided a specifications sheet for a panel racking system indicating that the maximum panel height will be 54 inches or 4 ½ feet high, however, the applicant has stated that the assembled panel height will be approximately 10 feet high when at full tilt. This complies with ordinance requirements, which allows a maximum panel height of 12 feet. Staff has included a condition that the applicant provide a detail showing the final assembled panel and racking system. Screening/Landscaping Section 1060.110, Subd. 3. A. 8. of the Zoning Ordinance provides standards for landscaping. Applicants must install a mix of pollinator and native groundcover mix beneath panel arrays that provide native perennial vegetation and foraging habitat beneficial to gamebirds, songbirds, and pollinators and reduces stormwater runoff and erosion at the solar generation site, subject to the Sunrise Solar IUP (17-007) 7 May 25, 2017 standards of Minnesota State Statutes §216B.1642. The state statute specifically refers to the Minnesota DNR’s “Prairie Establishment & Maintenance Technical Guidance for Solar Projects” which provides general guidelines for plantings. The applicant’s landscape plans demonstrate compliance with the standards provided in the DNR’s manual. The solar ordinance also requires applicants to provide “a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs around the perimeter of the solar energy system” and “a minimum of one coniferous or shade tree per 15 lineal feet of security fence and one tall shrub or hedge material per 10 lineal feet of security fence to buffer the solar energy system from adjacent properties and public rights-of-way”. The Ordinance allows Council to grant exceptions to buffering standards if the existing natural landscape provides screening from public rights-of-way and neighboring properties. The applicant has provided a diagram that has been updated since the Planning Commission meeting showing that a mix of coniferous and deciduous trees and shrubs will be provided on the east, west and the entirety of the south side of the site, and is requesting that screening on the eastern side of the property be planted when the adjacent property is developed. Plans show that 258 coniferous trees and 480 shrubs have been provided on the plans along portions of the perimeter, but not along the fence located along the on the interior edges of the wetlands on the property. The plans also do not show any screening on the northern boundary of the security fence. While the Ordinance grants flexibility to the City when natural landscaping provides screening, the Ordinance is silent on wetlands that span across property lines and interior fencing. Staff estimates that there is approximately 10,720 lineal feet of security fence on site. The fence is provided all the way around the array instead of around the perimeter of the site. If the applicant were to provide one tree per 15 and one shrub per 10 lineal feet of fence, they would need to provide 715 trees and 1,072 shrubs. However, the ordinance did not consider that the facility would provide internal fencing on site. Internal fencing inflates the number of required trees and shrubs on site. The intent of the landscaping requirements in the Solar Ordinance was to screen the solar array from adjacent properties and to give the Council the discretion to provide flexibility with the natural landscape provided screening. Council could require additional screening on site. Staff finds that the proposed landscaping meets the intent of the code and recommends amending the ordinance to clarify the language of the code. Staff does not recommend allowing the installation of landscaping at different times, as this is difficult to enforce and will not provide the desired screening for residential homes when they are built. Planting standards for the wetland buffer areas specify a mix of grasses and shrubs and tree plantings are not addressed in the Zoning Ordinance. The Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission will allow trees to be planted in the wetland buffers. Therefore, Council may require additional tree screening in wetland buffers. Staff recommends approving the plans showing screening on the east, west and south sides of the site, and provide additional landscaping on the perimeter where there is no wetland. Staff has included a condition that additional screening on the northeast border of the site as well as screening on the northwest tip of the array layout on the west side of the site in areas where there is no wetland or wetland buffers. City Council has the discretion to require additional screening along the northern border of the property in the wetland buffer. Sunrise Solar IUP (17-007) 8 May 25, 2017 The plans appear to meet the required number of trees and shrubs for areas proposed to be screened. However, the final site plan must show the exact location of trees, shrubs, and locations where seed mix will be planted. The applicant will be required to provide a minimum of one coniferous or shade tree per 15 lineal feet of the property’s perimeter and one tall shrub or hedge material per 10 lineal feet along the property’s perimeter in locations where screening is required to buffer the solar energy system from adjacent properties and public rights-of-way. Section 1060.080, F. 3. states that fences over six feet in height shall meet all building setback requirements for the zoning district in which it is located. The location of the fence appears to be within the required front, side and rear setbacks. Section 110.31 of National Electric Code requires a 7-foot tall fence with one-foot barbed wire at the top for facilities operating at more than 600 V. Staff has included a condition that the applicant show compliance with the setback requirements for fencing. Erosion and Sediment Control The applicant is proposing limited site grading for the access routes. The City Engineer memo dated April 19, 2017 requests minor plan modifications in order to meet the requirements. Staff has included a condition that the applicant comply with the City Engineer’s memo. Decommissioning Plan Section 1060.110, Subd. 4 of the Zoning Ordinance requires the applicant to provide the City with a decommissioning plan prepared by a professional engineer or a contractor outlining the financial resources available to pay for decommissioning and system removal, means for disposing, re-using, or recycling project components, and site restoration. This section also states that “The city may at its discretion require the owner and/or operator of the commercial or utility scale system to provide financial security in the form of a cash escrow, bond, or irrevocable letter of credit in an amount to be determined by Council.” The applicant has provided a decommissioning estimate in the amount of $510,829 for demolition and site restoration for a previous application that has been withdrawn. They stated that the estimate for this site would be similar, but has indicated that the estimate may be revised. This estimate is consistent with the estimate provided by Minnesota Solar. Staff has included a condition that Sunrise Solar provide a performance bond for the full cost of estimated decommissioning. The applicant shall also submit a site-specific decommissioning estimate for this project. This is the same financial security that the Council required of Minnesota Solar. After the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant requested that the financial surety for decommissioning also include the performance guarantee for landscaping. Section 1070.050, Subd. 9 of the Zoning Ordinance requires a separate performance agreement and financial guarantee for site improvements secured through a site improvement performance agreement. The Ordinance stipulates that the applicant provide a separate performance agreement for landscaping improvements. As the work is completed, the City will release a portion of the financial guarantee Staff recommends that a financial security be provided for landscaping according to the standards of Section 1070.050, Subd. 9. Sunrise Solar IUP (17-007) 9 May 25, 2017 Access/Traffic The applicant is proposing an entrance on the southwest corner of the property from County Road 50 via the existing driveway that accesses the site. In order to avoid impacting the wetland, the applicant has provided a second access drive on the southeast corner of the site. Hennepin County reviewed the plans and provided comments in a memo dated April 19, 2017. The memo requests one site access from neighboring Rebecca Park Trail in Greenfield or that the site be accessed from the east of the wetlands. However, staff feels that the road locations proposed in the plan set is an appropriate solution because it avoids the wetland crossing impacts which would be required if only one access were to be provided. Given the low volume of traffic on this site, there is little benefit in re-routing they entrance as they have proposed. The County’s memo also requests the dedication of additional right-of-way on the site. It is the City’s policy to require right-of-way when the property is platted. Staff does not recommend requiring right- of-way dedication at this time. Parking and Driveway The proposed community solar garden will have no on-site employees and does not allow public access, therefore no on-site parking is required. The applicant’s narrative states that a 20-foot access road with 12-inches of gravel will be provided. The Public Safety Committee reviewed the plans on April 20, 2017 and provided several conditions related to the roads. Specifically, the memo noted that the access roads must be extended to the northernmost part of the panel layouts and gates be provided to allow access to the wetland areas in case there is a need to access the wetland areas in an emergency. Staff has included a condition that the applicant comply with the requirements of the Public Safety memo. Site Lighting The applicant is not proposing any lighting. Signage The applicant is not proposing any signage. However, the public safety review requires an address sign or other small sign identifying the location of the solar garden to be installed at the entrance of County Road 50. The sign installed must be in compliance with ordinance requirements. Maintenance The community solar garden will not have any employees on site. With the proposed native landscaping, minimal maintenance of the site will be required, and the applicant’s narrative states that the site will be visited on a regular basis by a technician to check the controls. Staff has included a condition that details about the maintenance plan, including how the perennial landscaping will be maintained throughout the life of the solar garden must be submitted for review and approval by the City prior to issuance of permits. Sunrise Solar IUP (17-007) 10 May 25, 2017 Interim Use Permit Standards Section 1070.030 of the Zoning Ordinance establishes standards for an Interim Use Permit as follows: A. Meet the requirements of a conditional use permit set forth in Section 1070.020, Subd. 3. Section 1070.020 Subd. 3 of the Zoning Code provides seven factors that City should consider when evaluating a conditional or interim use permit as follows: i. Compliance with and effect upon the Comprehensive Plan, including public facilities and capital improvement plans. The application demonstrates compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and with the goals for public facilities and capital improvement plans. Chapter 4, Section 8 of the Comprehensive Plan states that the “City of Corcoran will protect [solar] access by requiring minimum standards for lot sizes, amounts of open space, yard setbacks, and maximum height of buildings for urban residents that create the opportunity for all building owners to develop solar energy facilities if desired. The application demonstrates compliance with the Comprehensive Plan goals for solar access and with the goals for public facilities and capital improvement plans. ii. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use will promote and enhance the general public welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals or comfort. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the use will promote and enhance the general public welfare. The impact to the to public health, safety, morals or comfort of the community will not be detrimental. Community solar gardens do not produce nuisance conditions such as noise or pollution and need minimal maintenance. The community solar garden will enhance the general public welfare because the Zoning Ordinance requires the applicant to provide a mix of vegetation beneath the solar array that provides beneficial habitat for gamebirds, songbirds, and pollinators and that reduces stormwater runoff and erosion at the solar generation site. iii. The conditional use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. The use will have no known impact to property values on property in the immediate vicinity of the proposed location. Generally speaking, there is limited information available on the impact of solar gardens on adjacent property values. Studies are primarily limited to placing solar panels on the rooftops of homes. Rooftop solar is shown to increase property values. Staff found one appraiser commissioned by the solar industry in North Carolina that evaluated solar gardens Sunrise Solar IUP (17-007) 11 May 25, 2017 adjacent to residential and agricultural properties that found “no impact in sale price for residential, agricultural or vacant residential land that adjoins existing or proposed solar farms.” iv. The establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. The community solar garden will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. The surrounding properties are also in the RR District which is primarily agricultural uses today and can be developed with single family homes. v. Adequate public facilities and services are available or can be reasonably provided to accommodate the proposed use. The community solar garden does not require public facilities or services, therefore this condition is met. vi. The conditional use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. The use generally conforms to the applicable regulations of the RR District and to the performance standards of Section 1060.110 (Solar Energy Systems) and staff has included conditions to address any standards that are not met. vii. The conditional use and site conforms to performance standards as specified by this Chapter. The use and site conforms to the performance standards specified by this Chapter. B. The use is allowed as an interim use in the respective zoning district. Community solar gardens are allowed as an interim use in the RR District. C. The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty. The Zoning Ordinance requires that the Interim Use Permit expire 30 years from the date of issuance. D. The use will not impose additional unreasonable costs on the public. The use will not impose any additional costs on the public. E. The user agrees to any conditions that the City Council deems appropriate for permission of the use. Sunrise Solar IUP (17-007) 12 May 25, 2017 The draft resolution includes a number of conditions to ensure that the development would comply with the purpose and intent of the ordinance. 6.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the interim use permit at a duly called Public Hearing and recommends approval, and; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the request for an interim use permit, subject to the following findings and conditions: 1. An interim use permit is approved to allow a community solar garden, in accordance with the application received by the City on March 16, 2017 and revisions received on April 4, 2017, May 16, 2017, May 17, 2017 and May 18, 2017, except as amended by this resolution. 2. An interim use permit to SEV MN 2, LLC to allow for a community solar garden is approved, subject to the finding that the project meets the ordinance standards in Section 1070.020, Subd. 2 and Section 1060.110 of the Zoning Ordinance. Specifically: a. The application demonstrates compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and with the goals for public facilities and capital improvement plans. Chapter 4, Section 8 of the Comprehensive Plan states that the “City of Corcoran will protect [solar] access by requiring minimum standards for lot sizes, amounts of open space, yard setbacks, and maximum height of buildings for urban residents that create the opportunity for all building owners to develop solar energy facilities if desired. b. The application demonstrates compliance with the Comprehensive Plan goals for solar access and with the goals for public facilities and capital improvement plans. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the use will promote and enhance the general public welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals or comfort. Community solar gardens do not produce nuisance conditions such as noise or pollution and need minimal maintenance. The community solar garden will promote and enhance the general public welfare because the Zoning Ordinance requires the applicant to provide a mix of vegetation beneath the solar array that provides beneficial habitat for gamebirds, songbirds, and pollinators and that reduces stormwater runoff and erosion at the solar generation site. c. The use will have no known impact to property values on property in the immediate vicinity of the proposed location. Due to the passive nature of the solar farm (it City of Corcoran May 25, 2017 County of Hennepin State of Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. 2017-22 Page 2 of 5 does not generate noise, pollution, change in climate), there is limited data to suggest that property values would be negatively impacted. d. The establishment of the use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. The surrounding properties are also in the RR District which is primarily agricultural uses today and can be developed with single family homes. e. The community solar garden does not require public facilities or services. f. The use conforms to the applicable regulations of the RR District and to the performance standards of Section 1060.110 (Solar Energy Systems). g. The use and site conforms to the performance standards specified by the Solar Ordinance. 3. The Zoning Ordinance allows Community Solar Gardens as Interim Uses in the RR Zoning District. 4. No approvals are granted for impacts to wetlands. The applicant is responsible for coordinating with Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission for any required wetland of stormwater permits. 5. The applicant shall provide a revised glare study with points placed every 100 feet along County Road 50 from the western boundary of the property to County Road 19. In addition, additional glare study points every 100 feet shall be provided along County Road 19 to Salem Lane. 6. The applicant shall install photovoltaic panels that have an anti-reflective coating, textured glass or equivalent material and details on how the panel provides anti-glare properties that mitigate the “potential for temporary after-image.” 7. The application is subject to the review and approval by Hennepin County for access permits and impacts in County right-of-way. 8. Notwithstanding any provision in the zoning regulations to the contrary, the interim use for a community solar garden shall terminate upon any of the following events, whichever occurs first: a. The IUP shall terminate 30 years from the date of approval by City Council; b. Upon violation of the conditions under which the permit was issued; c. The redevelopment of the use and property upon which it is located to a permitted or conditional use as allowed within the respective zoning district; d. The solar garden is abandoned or ceases operation for a continuous period of 12 months. City of Corcoran May 25, 2017 County of Hennepin State of Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. 2017-22 Page 3 of 5 9.

Kate’s been in and out of our office and it fell off my radar that she had passed this to me to comment on! My only comment is that the burying of the utilities through the wetland will require a work in publics water permit. Additionally our regional assessment ecologist had these comments and asked that I send the attachments above: Wetlands/floodplain/public waters: Recommend incorporating larger buffers surrounding the adjacent wetlands, and not installing solar panels and associated equipment within the wetlands or floodplain. There have been several solar projects in the past year that have encountered problems with flooding during construction, long term this could be problematic for maintenance and operation of a solar facility. Fencing: The design notes barb wire will be used at the top of the fence per city code. Barb wire can pose a hazard to wildlife; the attached “commercial solar siting guidance” offers some alternatives suggestions to the use of barb wire (page 8). If barb wire must be utilized, consider placing reflectors at varied spaces to help birds leaving/entering the pond be better able to see the wires. The project notes that it will utilize pollinator friendly native vegetation groundcover for the site and that the seed mix is adapted from a pilot mix developed by BWSR for solar sites. Attached is DNR’s guidance (prairie solar tech guidance) which may be of help for seed mix development. As a reminder, seeds should be “certified weed free” and species utilized should be native to the county.

This 5 megawatt array of photovoltaic panels will generate electricity that will be purchased by Xcel Energy under a 25-year contract. The solar garden will not generate any carbon or other harmful emissions, will be created from an inexhaustible source, the sun, will help Xcel Energy meet the State’s mandate for use of renewable energy sources, and will align with the City’s goals for sustainability. In addition, Xcel customers may subscribe to a share of the electrical output from the project, thus supporting this clean source of energy. SEV MN 1, LLC will own and operate the development for its lifetime. It is important to us to be a good corporate citizen and work cooperatively with each local community. This helps us respond to any concerns with conditions that create a successful energy development while supporting the City’s community development objectives. Please give our application your approval so that we can all benefit from this wise new source of electricity for our homes and businesses.

The property identification number is 19-119-23-0001. The street address is 23850 County Road 50. The legal description is: The West Half of the Southwest Quarter of Section 19, Township 119 North, Range 22 West of the Fifth Principal Meridian. Figure 1: Site Location Interim Use Permit Application 1 City of Corcoran Comprehensive Land Use and Road Plans The 2030 Comprehensive Plan guides the site as Rural / Agricultural-Residential. The site is located approximately 1.5 miles north of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area. No arterial or collector roads are planned through the site. County Highways 50 (to the south) and 19 (to the east) are designated as A Minor Connectors. Figure 2: Land Use Plan 2030 Interim Use Permit Application 2 City of Corcoran Zoning Figure 3 indicates that the site is zoned Rural Residential District with a Shoreland Management Overlay District centered on Rush Creek and extending 300 feet to either side of the stream. In addition, the wetlands on the site are regulated by State and Federal regulations. Wetlands are addressed in more detail in a subsequent section. The Federal Emergency Management Administration has mapped flood plains on the site as shown by Figure 4. Finally, the City’s growth management system has allocated 8 Building Rights to this site, as shown by Figure 5. Figure 3: City of Corcoran Zoning Map Figure 4: FEMA Floodplains Map Figure 5: Building Rights Interim Use Permit Application 3 City of Corcoran Existing Conditions On‐Site and Nearby Land Use The site is undeveloped and used for farming and grazing. Approximately 40 percent of the site is devoted to wetland preservation. The farm house on the site is rented, and the fields and grazing operation are managed by a renter. Land uses near the site are agricultural, open or rural residential as shown by Figure 6. The pattern of nearby parcels is shown by Figure 7 on the next page. Figure 6: On‐Site and Nearby Land Use Interim Use Permit Application 4 City of Corcoran Figure 7: Nearby Land Parcels Topography The topography is gently rolling except along the western boundary, where there is a steep slope up to the nearby houses. Vegetation Trees on the site are limited to a few patches near the farmstead and a spotty windrow along the western border. Typical wetland vegetation is found within the wetland features. Soils for Solar Arrays Outside of the wetlands, the soils are sufficient to support the piers of a solar array. Soils for Farming The site is not prime for farming because of the size and configuration of the non-wetland fields. Interim Use Permit Application 5 City of Corcoran Site Plan The site development plan for the community solar garden is shown by Figure 8, below. Interim Use Permit Application 6 City of Corcoran Site Access and Internal Circulation Access to the site will be via two driveways along County Highway 50, Rebecca Park Trail. Driveway access permits will be obtained from Hennepin County and submitted to the City prior to obtaining a Building Permit. Internal Road The internal circulation and emergency access drives will be 20 feet wide and paved with 12 inches of aggregate material. Their density will be certified with a roll test after placement of materials as observed by the City Engineer. Soil borings will be provided. The corners have been designed to accommodate a 40-foot fire truck. Hammerhead turn-arounds, designed according to City specifications, will be included. The gates will be 20 feet wide. See also the section on page 13 titled Emergency Entry. Traffic Traffic to and from the community solar garden will consist of one pick-up truck per month with a technician to check the controls and a truck and trailer with a mower approximately three times per year. Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control The project will comply with any Watershed or MPCA requirements for stormwater. Emmons and Olivier Resources, Inc., will provide to the City with hydrologic modeling calculations for rate control, volume control and water quality, including proposed pond locations, if any. An exhibit will be submitted that identifies the off-site drainage flow paths. Existing flow paths will be maintained unless otherwise identified. Calculations will be provided for City approval. Grading for the community solar garden will be limited to creating grass-covered service roads among the blocks of arrays and pads for the electrical inverters. The solar arrays can conform to the slopes and do not require terraces because each solar array is installed by simply drilling or pounding posts into the ground. Normal steps will be taken to control erosion during and after the installation process, and these can be specified as conditions of the Permit. Grading will be absolutely minimized, and disturbed soils will be returned closely to their original contours. The final site will be seeded with fast-growing grasses and mowed as necessary to prevent woody or noxious species from establishing. Consequently, the rate, volume and quality of the surface water runoff is expected to be improved from the present values generated by a plowed field of row crops. Interim Use Permit Application 7 City of Corcoran Wetlands and Streams Federal and State Wetland Mapping The National Wetlands Inventory of the US Department of Interior shows approximately 33 acres of wetland on the 80 acre site, as illustrated by Figure 9. The major types of wetlands on the site are: PEM1A: Fresh or interior marsh, persistent vegetation, topographically high PEM1C: Fresh or interior marsh, persistent vegetation, topographically high PABG: Fresh or interior march, aquatic bed, intermittently exposed. Figure 9: National Wetland Inventory Map, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has also mapped two Public Waters Inventory basins on the site, numbered as 352W and 353W. Interim Use Permit Application 8 City of Corcoran Wetland Delineation Emmons and Olivier Resources, Inc., has conducted a field survey of the wetlands on the site. The results are depicted by Figure 10 and the full wetland report is submitted separately. EOR has also conducted a “desktop” review of hydrology, soils, topography and historic aerial photography of the site and will submit it to Elm Creek Watershed Management Organization (WMO) for review. The WMO will provide a written opinion on the field delineation results and whether any apparent wetlands exist in the cultivated fields. Prior to the start of construction, the Elm Creek WMO will issue a Wetland Conservation Act Notice of Decision on behalf of itself acting as the WCA Local Governing Unit. The wetland permitting process will be coordinated with the Army Corps of Engineers, which has regulatory authority for Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources may require permits through the Minnesota Public Waters program that they administer. Avoidance and minimization of all impacts to wetlands (if any) and public waters will be incorporated into the site design and implemented. Figure 10: Results of the Field Delineation of the Wetland Boundaries Interim Use Permit Application 9 City of Corcoran Visual Compatibility and Screening Per City of Corcoran requirements for solar garden construction, we propose to line the western, southern and eastern sides of the project site with coniferous trees and native shrubs to provide a visual screen between the proposed solar site and adjacent properties or the County Highway. Please see Figure 11 for the location of the screen plantings. A detailed planting plan has been submitted separately. Figure 11: Location of Screen Plantings The proposed solar panels would be set far south of the northern property line. The northern part of the site and some of the adjacent land is wetland. Therefore, we submit that it is not necessary or feasible to screen along the northern property line. The western edges of the project area will be buffered with Eastern Red Cedar trees planted 15 feet on-center, as well as a row of Glossy Black Chokeberry (a native deciduous shrub) planted 10 feet on-center. The Eastern Red Cedar is a native tree that will grow to a height of 30 to-60 feet. This is a hardy tree that requires little water or maintenance. It is especially deer- and drought-resistant, and will provide a dense visual and physical barrier around the site. Interim Use Permit Application 10 City of Corcoran Note: in the edge location opposite the house at the end of the Greenfield cul-de-sac where the existing screening is thin, we will plant 10-foot tall Cedars so they are effective sooner. On the south and east, a similar plan will include Black Hills Spruce coniferous trees planted 15 feet on-center and Glossy Black Chokeberry shrubs planted 10 feet on-center outside of the site fence. The Black Hills Spruce will grow to a height of 20 to 40 feet, and the Chokeberry will grow rapidly to 8 feet. The effect will be a dense visual and physical barrier on the southern and eastern sides. Approximate totals: Eastern Red Cedar: 58 Black Hills Spruce: 69 Black Chokecherry: 190 The Planting Plan, submitted separately, specifies a seed mix for the entire site that meets the City’s requirements for a pollinator-friendly native groundcover for solar sites. The seed mix is adapted from a pilot mix currently in development by the BWSR specifically for solar sites in Minnesota. The Planting Plan memo, submitted separately, also describes how the wetland buffer plantings will be handled per City Code 1050.10, Subd. 8. Interim Use Permit Application 11 City of Corcoran Figure 12: Typical Plan Solar Energy Panels The proposed solar energy panels will be built with a fixed, unmovable angle. Fixed-angle arrays are typically 10 to 12 feet tall. Typical solar arrays are illustrated below. Figure 13: Typical Fixed‐Angle Solar Panels Figure 14: Appearance of Typical Solar Panels in a Field Glare Analysis A glare analysis has been performed using the Forge Solar tool by Sandia Labs and is submitted separately. Power and Communication Lines; Connection to the Xcel Line All power and communication lines will be buried, including those running between banks of solar panels to electric substations or inverters on the site or to interconnections with buildings on site,. The proposed community solar garden will connect to the Xcel Energy grid at an existing distribution line that runs along County Highway 19. The interconnection point will be on the western end of the site. The poles and wiring for this connection will conform to the requirements of the County’s solar ordinance. A schematic diagram of the interconnection is shown by Detail A on the Site Plan drawing. (Please refer to the large print for readability.) Interim Use Permit Application 12 City of Corcoran Ground Cover A detailed description of the ground cover seed mix is included in the Planting Plan memo, which is submitted separately. These grasses and forbs will enhance local biodiversity, consistent with the Pollinator Protection Pledge of the local solar power industry. They will be especially helpful to pollinator species such as bees and butterflies. The ground cover will be kept mowed to a workable height, and noxious weeds will not be allowed to flourish and spread into nearby farm fields. Perimeter Fence A galvanized chain-link perimeter fence will be installed for safety and security. The fence will be 7 feet tall, topped with barbed wire, as required by the City. The fence alignment is illustrated by Figure 9, Site Plan. The fence will only encompass the facility and will be located toward the interior of the site relative to existing or proposed perimeter trees and shrubs in order to maintain that vegetation and obscure the view of the fence. The gate in the fence will be at least 20 feet wide. Duration The community solar garden will be operated fro fewer than 30 years, which is the limit stated in the City’s solar ordinance. There will be one year or less of construction, 25 years of power production under a contract with Xcel Energy and one year or less of decommissioning. Sign A sign will be installed near the entrance to the site. The sign will show the address in 6-inch numbers visible from County Highway 50. It will also include 24-hour site manager contact information. Emergency Entry A City-specified DAMA box will be installed at the gate entrance. The gate in the fence will be at least 20 feet wide. An emergency plan will be in place, including contact info, shut-off locations, first responder shut-down procedures and general site information. Interim Use Permit Application 13 City of Corcoran Construction Site Preparation Construction of the community solar garden will include stabilizing the construction entrances and exits and access road and establishing the parking and staging areas for vehicle and equipment storage / laydown and maintenance. The laydown areas will be used for pre- assembly of components and materials storage and staging. These areas will also provide construction worker parking. The site access roads will remain in place for the operational phase of the Project. The extent of grading will be determined during final design. Grading will be minimized to the extent practicable. Typically, grading will consist of small cut and fill areas needed to reshape slopes to allow for the fixed-tilt panels to be installed approximately 4 feet off of the ground. Some grading will also be required for structure foundations, but grading for access roads will be limited to removal of unsuitable soils since they will be designed and constructed at-grade when possible. Dust suppression on access roads will follow MPCA guidelines. During final design, the location of stripped and stockpiled topsoil may be removed during grading will be designated. Soil stockpiles could be as tall as 6 feet. During decommissioning, the stripped and stockpiled topsoil will be replaced following the de-commissioning plan. General facility grading will occur in entrance access areas and preparation of the staging / lay down area. The temporary staging / lay down areas will be about 4 to 5 acres and located at various locations within the facility. The staging/lay down areas will be used for storage of construction materials and shipped equipment containers, receiving construction deliveries, and temporary parking for Project related vehicles. A temporary construction office trailer will be located at the facility during construction. PV Equipment Installation Facility construction is designed for minimal site grading. Site grading and drainage will be conducted in accordance with the grading and drainage plan approved by the County and the State. The Project will be constructed using photovoltaic (PV) modules mounted on single axis trackers on embedded post foundations. Electrical Power Collection and Distribution System The solar panels will convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. The PV-generated DC power will be collected from each of the multiple rows of PV modules through one or more combiner boxes and conveyed to an inverter. The inverter will convert the DC power to alternating current (AC) power, which will then flow to a medium-voltage transformer that converts the output of the inverter to 480 volts. Multiple medium-voltage transformers will be connected in a daisy-chain configuration and power will be delivered to the onsite main distribution switch gear from separate 34.5kV circuits. This switch gear acts as the primary interconnection point, after which power is transmitted to the utility-owned grid via overhead power lines. Inverters, Transformers and switchgear will be mounted on poured concrete foundations. Interim Use Permit Application 14 City of Corcoran Interim Use Permit Application 15 City of Corcoran Heavy Equipment Sunrise Development estimates that there will be between 15 and 35 large trucks used daily for equipment delivery during construction. Light duty trucks will also be used on a daily basis for transportation of construction workers to and from each facility. Construction equipment such as scrapers, bulldozers, dump trucks, watering trucks, motor graders, vibratory compactors, backhoes and the following will be used during construction: Skid steer loader Vibratory post driver Medium duty crane All-terrain forklift Concrete truck and boom truck High reach bucket truck Truck-mounted auger or drill rig.

Regular NPDES / SWPPP inspection during and after construction. Provide to the City an as‐built drawing for the drainage improvements Solar Equipment Installation The solar energy system (arrays, collection and distribution systems) will be installed along with access roads after site preparation. The solar facility will be constructed in blocks, and multiple blocks will be constructed simultaneously. The Project will be constructed in approximately six months. Electrical testing and equipment inspections will be conducted prior to beginning commercial operations. As portions of the Project near completion, temporary staging and lay down areas will be vacated, and disturbed areas will be reseeded and re-vegetated. Once installation is complete, the primary staging areas will be reduced in size and the supply structure and associated permanent infrastructure will be constructed. All toilet facilities are temporary; no permanent restroom facilities or septic systems are needed for operation of the Project. After construction, temporarily disturbed areas within the Project will be restored to their pre- construction condition. The Project facility will be graded to pre-construction grades where possible, and soil will be loosened and seeded with low-growing perennial grass and forb species. Once construction is complete, the permanent access roads within the Project facility will be repaired and dressed as necessary to ensure their long-term function. Erosion control methods during and after construction will depend on the contours of the land, as well as requirements of relevant permits. Sunrise anticipates that the post-construction clean-up and Facility restoration activities will last approximately two to four weeks. Telecommunication Line and Other Construction A redundant set of telecommunication lines will be installed via an overhead utility pole to the facility. This will connect and interact with the Xcel’s electrical system. Sunrise coordinates with Xcel and/or the local telecommunications utility to arrange for a connection to the existing system. Interim Use Permit Application 16 City of Corcoran Operations and Maintenance The expected service life of the proposed facility is 25 to 30 years, and Sunrise estimates that the Project will result in one to two full-time-equivalent permanent positions to operate and maintain this Project along with other projects owned by Sunrise in the area. A maintenance plan will be created for the Project to ensure ongoing performance, including a scheduled check of the facility’s components and a predictive maintenance approach for the devices subjected to derating / degradation. Derating / degradation refer to the known process of components losing efficiency over the expected useful life. Like all technology and physical components, a certain amount, sometimes 20 percent, of this efficiency loss is unavoidable over the expected component life. Sunrise will plan for and maintain the facility to ensure the maximum performance over the expected life of the components. Once construction is complete, staff will be present on a daily basis, with potentially more personnel at the facility at intervals associated with the maintenance . All maintenance activities will be performed by qualified personnel during the day to the extent that they do not significantly disrupt energy production. Activities that have the potential for substantial noise generation will be performed during the day to minimize impacts to residents. It may be desirable to perform certain maintenance functions after sunset to minimize loss of power production. If a particular PV module, tracker row or tracker block within the community solar garden needs repairing, only that particular component will need to be disconnected and will be done by opening the combiner box circuit. The PV module can then be replaced and the combiner box circuit closed. Because of the modular way the that community solar garden components are assembled and controlled, a temporary shutdown such as this would result in only a minimal loss of energy production. Additionally, the power production circuits are separated from the tracking circuits. This allows the PV modules to operate during an unscheduled outage of the tracker system. A reserve of spare parts, components and tools for maintenance will be kept at a supply structure. Equipment Inspection Equipment inspection will occur at regular intervals, including: PV modules: visual check of the PV modules, tracking system and surrounding grounds to verify the integrity of the PV modules and racking structure, or the presence of animals and nests, etc.; Inverters, transformer and electrical panels: visual check of the devices including the connection equipment and the grounding network. Check for presence of water and dust; Electrical check: measurement of the insulation level and dispersion. Check of the main switches and safety devices (fuses); Noise: check of abnormal sounds; Cabling and wiring: visual check of electrical lines (where visible) and connection box to verify its status. Interim Use Permit Application 17 City of Corcoran Performance Monitoring Performance monitoring will consist of a real-time and continuous assimilation of the data acquired by the facility meteorological station, energy meter and SCADA system. Operators and or maintenance personnel will be immediately notified of abnormalities so timely corrective action such as repair or replacement on: modules, racking, the collection system, and etc., can occur. Facility Maintenance Routine maintenance of the Project will include road maintenance, fence and gate inspection, and lighting system checks. Module washing is not needed on a scheduled basis. Rain keeps the modules sufficiently clean and the site is vegetated to keep dust down so that washing modules would occur infrequently and only as determined by maintenance technicians. Snow and ice removal is not needed. The trackers and modules are designed to shed rain, snow and ice. Vegetation maintenance will include scheduled mowing and spot spraying weeds using registered herbicides. Maintenance Frequency The electrical and mechanical components of the community solar garden would be checked on a regular basis to ensure safety and reliability. The maintenance schedule would range from weekly to yearly depending on the component. Interim Use Permit Application 18 City of Corcoran De‐Commissioning, Restoration and Repowering At the end of commercial operation, Sunrise will be responsible for decommissioning by removing all of the arrays and equipment. Decommissioning of the Project at the end of its useful life, estimated to be approximately 25- 30 years. would include removing the arrays, inverters, transformers, above-ground portions of the electrical collection system, fencing, lighting, and supply structure from the Project. Standard decommissioning and restoration practices will be used, including dismantling and repurposing, salvaging, recycling or disposing of the solar energy improvements, and restoration. Land returned to agricultural production will be reclaimed to restore topsoil that may have been scraped and stockpiled from areas that are designated in the final design plan. Estimated Cost The cost of de-commissioning the project is estimated to be $510,829. A detailed cost estimate prepared by a knowledgeable professional in the field of solar energy project development is presented by Appendix A. Project Components The activities involved in the facility closure would depend on the expected future use of the site. Certain facility equipment and features such as transmission facilities, roads, and drainage features, may be left in place for future uses. The future use will be determined at the point that decommissioning is determined to be in order. The key Project components to be affected by decommissioning activities are discussed below. The general decommissioning approach would be the same whether a portion of the Project or the entire Project would be decommissioned. Decommissioning Preparation The first step in the decommissioning process would be to assess existing site conditions and prepare the site for demolition, access roads, fencing, electrical power, and other facilities will temporarily remain in place for use by the decommissioning workers until no longer needed. Demolition debris will be placed in temporary onsite storage area(s) pending final transportation and disposal and/or recycling according to the procedures listed below. Permits and Approvals Depending on the regulatory requirements at the time of decommissioning, permits or approvals may be required for the decommissioning activities. The project will not impact waters of the United States or Threatened or Endangered species, so no federal approvals are expected. Appropriate applications for approvals would be submitted and approves issued prior to decommissioning activities. Interim Use Permit Application 19 City of Corcoran Erosion Control Prior to commencement of decommissioning activities, erosion control measures would be implemented. The type and extent of these measures would be dictated by the regulatory requirements at the time of decommissioning. Health and Safety A Health and Safety Plan will be developed prior to decommissioning activities. The plan will be designed to ensure worker and public safety during decommissioning. A Health and Safety Manager will be assigned to the decommissioning activities to provide worker training and health and safety monitoring. PV Equipment Removal During decommissioning, Project components that are no longer needed would be removed from the site and disposed of at an appropriately licensed disposal facility. Above ground portions of the PV module supports will be removed. Below ground portions of the PV module supports will be removed entirely where practical. Those supports that are more firmly anchored (e.g., such as embedded in bedrock) may be cut off below grade, and the remaining support left in place. This will avoid impact of underground equipment on future farming activities. The demolition debris and removed equipment may be cut or dismantled into pieces that can be safely lifted or carried with the onsite equipment being used. The debris and equipment will be processed for transportation and delivery to an appropriately licensed disposal facility or recycling center. No hazardous materials or waste will be used during operation of the solar facility, and disposal of hazardous materials or waste will not be required during decommissioning. Electrical Power Connection/Distribution System All electrical equipment, including combiner boxes, inverters, transformers, and switchgear, will be de- energized and dismantled and removed. AC power equipment can be de-energized by the utility at point of interconnection and safely removed, and DC power can be de- energized by first operating the combiner box disconnects and then unplugging module leads. The cast-in-place concrete foundations will be broken up, removed and recycled. The underground distribution cables and raceways will be cut below grade and will remain in place. Roads On-site roads will remain in place to accomplish decommissioning at the end of the Project's life. At the time of decommissioning, if the City determines that some of these roads will be beneficial for future use of the site; those roads may remain after decommissioning. Roads that will not be used will be restored. Any gravel will be removed and shipped to an appropriate disposal site. Fencing Project site perimeter fencing will be removed at the end of the decommissioning project. to return the site to pre-project condition. Interim Use Permit Application 20 City of Corcoran Interim Use Permit Application 21 City of Corcoran Site Restoration Once removal of all Project equipment is complete, any excavated areas from post or equipment removal will be backfilled with native soil. Any areas backfilled or otherwise disturbed will be stabilized and reseeded. Future Land Use While the decommissioning plan is based upon the site being returned to a condition consistent with pre-construction use, the actual activities involved in the facility closure would depend on the actual future use of the site. Certain facility equipment may be used in the future, such as the transmission facilities and roads. Therefore, the actual extent of site closure activities would be determined at the time of the closure. Project Decommissioning Costs and Bonding For the purpose of bonding, an estimate of the cost of decommissioning the Project will be presented to the City. Funding mechanisms to cover the estimated cost of implementing this Decommissioning Plan shall be secured in the form of a corporate guarantee. Every ten years, over the life of the Project, an updated estimate of decommissioning costs will prepared by Sunrise to adjust for inflation. Decommissioning Schedule Decommissioning activities will be completed prior to expiration of the life of the community solar garden. Noise Emissions Noise Emitted by the Project During Project construction, noise will be emitted by the construction vehicles and equipment, including vibratory pile drivers for installation of piers. The equipment noise will in the 80 to 90s dBA range, which will vary based on the type of construction that is occurring on a given day. These noise impacts will be temporary during the Project construction phase. Since this is a solar photovoltaic facility, operational noise is generated during daylight periods. There will be limited maintenance noise after sunset. During Project operation, the main source of noise will be generated by the electric inverters, and to a lesser extent from the transformers and rotation of the tracking system. All electrical equipment will be designed to National Electrical Manufacturer Association (NEMA) Standards. Sunrise plans to use AE 1000NX, or equivalent, inverters. These inverters produce 65 dBA of sound at their source. The noise generated from the inverters at 30 feet away will be below the nighttime residential MPCA noise standards. Inverters are centrally located within the 1 MW-AC CSG; therefore, the noise levels from the Project equipment are not expected to be discernible from background noise levels at homes surrounding the Project. During final design, Sunrise will confirm that MPCA noise standards will be met at sensitive receiver (homes, parks, schools businesses, etc.). Mitigation Measures Noise will be mitigated during construction by maintaining engine mufflers following manufactures specifications. Sunrise plans to limit construction to daylight hours. During operation, no adverse noise impacts are anticipated. Therefore, no additional mitigation measures are proposed. Interim Use Permit Application 22 City of Corcoran May 15, 2017 Members of the Corcoran City Council 8200 County Road 116 Corcoran, Minnesota 55340 Dear Members of the City Council: We believe that our proposed solar garden at 23850 County Road 50 is worthy of your approval because it meets the requirements of the City Code for an Interim Use Permit as follows: 1. Compliance with and effect upon the Comprehensive Plan, including public facilities and capital improvement plans. The solar garden will not interfere with the growth of the city because the site is not expected to be within the sewered Urban Service Area for several decades, by which time the solar garden will have been removed. The Interim Use Permit will expire within 30 years. . No public facilities will be needed. A solar garden is an appropriate land use in a rural, agricultural area, and the City Council concurred with that when it adopted solar farms as an Interim Use in the Rural / Agricultural- Residential zoning district. There should be no concern about a proliferation of other 5 megawatt solar gardens. All 5 MW applications were due into Xcel Energy by September, 2015. So, any additional gardens will be limited to 1 megawatt. There are few locations in Corcoran where those are possible because of limitations posed by your zoning, the Xcel service territory and distance from a distribution line. Solar gardens would only be allowable in the two westerly Xcel service areas and w approximately one-hal mile of an Xcel distribution line (shown b ithin f y the dashed lines). Sunrise Energy Ventures Page 2 601 Carlson Parkway, Suite 1050, Minnetonka, Minnesota 55305 612‐293‐9900 dean@Sunriseenergyventures.com 2. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use will promote and enhance the general public welfare and will not be detrimental to public health, safety, morals or welfare. Water quality and other environmental conditions will be improved. There will be no soil erosion; no plowing; no use of fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides; and no cattle. Native ground cover species will protect the soil and provide habitat for pollinators, butterflies and insects. Electrical energy will be generated with no air pollution or greenhouse gases. Native ground cover plantings 3. The conditional use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. Empirical appraisals and appraisers’ opinions support our belief that there will be no loss of market value to nearby homes. No study based on sales data has substantiated loss of residential value near a solar garden. The City staff concurs In fact, a solar garden can enhance property values. We are working with a land owner in Winona County that wants us to develop a solar garden on his property because he wishes to market the balance of the site as housing and feels that the solar garden will be a positive sales point. The solar garden will generate almost no traffic, will emit no noise audible at the property line, and will not move. Traffic will be limited to about one pick-up truck per month and mowing two or three time per year. Sound from the DC-to-AC inverters at the property line has been calculated to be 44 to 50 decibels, which is much less than the State daytime standard of 60 decibels. Sound from the inverters would be decreased by vegetation, slopes and background noise. Fifty decibels is said to be the level of a library; 40 is considered to be the level of a bedroom. Glare is not a problem with contemporary solar panels, as they have an anti-reflective coating. Their appearance is either black or a blue luminance. They are no more reflective than the pond on the site. They do not create glint like cars. Sunrise Energy Ventures Page 3 601 Carlson Parkway, Suite 1050, Minnetonka, Minnesota 55305 612‐293‐9900 dean@Sunriseenergyventures.com 4. The establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property. We will screen and soften the view to the facility along the three houses to the west in Greenfield, along the farm field and house to the northwest, along County Road 50, and along the Mooney farmstead to the southwest. The following pages show images of the screened view from four locations. We request that we not screen the eastern (Gleason) farm field at this time but, instead, that we will screen that edge if housing is built there during the life of the solar garden. We request that the very large financial surety that the City has requested for decommissioning apply also to this screening.

The solar field would be in the upper left corner of the image where you can see a dark polygon. 5. Adequate public facilities and services are available or can be reasonably provided to accommodate the proposed use. . Necessary public facilities and services are already available and adequate. 6. The conditional use and site conforms to performance standards specified by this Chapter. City staff have confirmed that the proposed solar garden would conform to the performance standards of the City Code. 7. The use is allowed as an interim use in the respective zoning district. Solar gardens are allowed as an Interim use in the Rural / Agricultural-Residential zoning district. 8. The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty. The Zoning Ordinance requires that the Interim Use Permit expire 30 years from the date of issuance. 9. The use will not impose additional unreasonable costs on the public. City staff have confirmed that the solar garden will not impose any additional costs on the public because its demand on City services and facilities are so low. Sunrise Energy Ventures Page 7 601 Carlson Parkway, Suite 1050, Minnetonka, Minnesota 55305 612‐293‐9900 dean@Sunriseenergyventures.com 10. The user agrees to any conditions that the City Council deems appropriate for permission of the use. The draft resolution includes a number of conditions to ensure that the development would comply with the purpose and intent of the ordinance. If approved, we will: o Amend the site plan that extends the access drives to the northern end of the solar garden, increase the setback to the panels from the Hendel house to 100 feet, and combine the site plan with the boundary and topographic survey. o Obtain a wetland permit from the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission.

Date:Monday, May 1, 2017 10:32:00 AM Brad, I know you and Rep. Hertaus have spoken on this issue, but he asked me to pass this email along to you so that it can be included in the City Council and Mayor's committee packets. This is the email regarding the proposed solar farm between Greenfield and Corcoran. Rep. Hertaus tried to CC you on his original email, but it seems as though it didn't get through. Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions, Shiloh Larson Committee Legislative Assistant Rep. Matt Dean Rep. Jerry Hertaus HHS Finance Committee 651.296.4375 shiloh.larson@house.mn >>> Jerry Hertaus <rep.jerry.hertaus@house.mn> 4/30/2017 9:51 PM >>> Dear Mr. & Mrs. Hendel, Thankyou for your message concerning the proposed solar farm located within the City of Corcoran and immediately adjacent to your residence situated at the city line within Greenfield. I have contacted Mr. Brad Martens, city manager of Corcoran about this issue to learn more about the proposal, have copied him this message as well as one Greenfield council member and the Greenfield mayor. Mr. Martens stresses the importance of you and your neighbors participation in the public hearings on this matter scheduled in the coming days and weeks. It is my understanding that the agricultural zoning classification is proposed to be amended or already has been amended to permit solar farms in Corcoran. The proposal has not received final approval from the City of Corcoran at this time. It would be advisable to contact members of the Corcoran council and the mayor about your concerns. Although the long term development of Corcoran with respect to urbanized development patterns, would be most likely from east to west by the extension of sewer and water infrastructure taking decades to complete, Corcoran should be sensitive to such interim proposals deemed to not interfere with Corcoran's own long term development scheme. It's seemingly benign decision about this proposal at it's western fringe and how those interim uses/proposals will not impact it's own long term development plans but will impact already existing development in neighboring Greenfield, its residential property owners and their peaceful enjoyment of their property(ies) should be of great concern. It is apparent that this proposed Solar Farm use was NOT part of the Corcoran Agricultural zoning permitted uses at the time your Greenfield neighborhood was developed and when past conveyances from one owner to another may have occurred since. Residential uses within Ag zoning HAVE long been permitted uses in both Corcoran and Greenfield zoning ordinances. Therefore, anyone making a reasonably informed purchase decision about real property and potential future uses to neighboring or adjoining property, regardless of the fact it may be situated at a muncipal boundary would not unreasonably presume that the most intensive use of neighboring property would be either residential or agricultural use under the zoning of record at that time. Corcoran and its city council should give heavy consideration to the imposition of this location pressed at its western boundary upon property owners in neighboring Greenfield. The long term presence of this use immediately adjacent to already existing residential development will impose involuntary economic obsolescences upon these property owners through no fault of their own. Diminished valuations will result and potentially render resale of the affected properties impossible without significant price reductions or discounts in sale price inevitably necessary in order to overcome the visual and economic obsolescence. Further, decreased valuations will inevitably cause a shift of higher property taxes to others in the community resulting from loss of value. A recently approved proposal for a Wind Electric Generation District in an Ag zone in Ottertail County established placement of windmills in the center-most part of the district with a 1/2 mile buffer of no placement of windmills from the defined border of the proposed district. Should not Corcoran consider the necessity of establishing an adequate buffer distance and other mitigations necessary to prevent harm to its neighbors at the sole burden of the developer/applicant? This issue remains in the realm of local government and your active participation in the future Corcoran scheduled meetings is necessary in order to prevent or mitigate the immediate impact of any decision that may be made affecting your property. Please feel free to contact me or my legislative assistant Ms.Shiloh Larson at my office if I can be of further assistance to you in this matter. Kind Regards, Rep. Jerry Hertaus 661-296-9188 Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5. -------- Original message -------- From: S Hen <hendel.s11@gmail.com> Date: 4/28/17 10:24 AM (GMT-06:00) To: Jerry Hertaus <Rep.Jerry.Hertaus@house.mn>, sen.david.osmek@senate.mn Subject: Your immediate attention is greatly appreciated. Urgent matter. Good Morning. A week ago a few of us neighbors received a notice that the property we all reside next to, plans to sell the 80 acre parcel to a North Carolina Solar panel developer. We only just received the notice one week ago (April 19th, although the letter is dated 4/14/17) and some residents who will be affected never received any notice at all. I feel they are trying to pass this through the Corcoran City Council as quickly and quietly as possible. The Corcoran City Council meeting is May 4th at 7pm. We are at a loss and feel like we have NO representation. So far, we have not received any help from our local city office. As a matter of fact I was told by one person there to plant trees! That's all I can do she said. Others have not responded at all. We live in Greenfield, but our property line is Corcoran. It's the barbed wire fence line 30 ft from my backdoor! No one will listen to us as we are not residents of Corcoran! We need representation from someone. Last night we met with the solar company, Sunrise Energy Ventures. The few neighbors who were notified and attended the meeting are not pleased with the proposal. The company "smoothed talked" and made it appear as though the 25 year interim that the panels would be left on the property would be a good thing! I am not against solar energy for clean power, however the solar field does NOT belong right next to a neighborhood where families and wildlife lives! The property is currently labeled as agricultural.They are trying to change this. This area is not an industrial area at all. Come and see if you want to! We are homeowners, we have families, and most of us moved out to Greenfield to enjoy the quiet, private, and beautiful views and wildlife. We've lived here for 20 years now. Our property values and our scenery and the quietness will end if they have their way and install 35 acres, 100-300 ft of rows and rows of 7ft long x 10ft high glass panels right in our backyard! Although this has not passed the City of Corcoran's Board yet (next week is the meeting), we feel this is happening way too fast. Shouldn't there be studies done on effects of the solar panels to our groundwater, the wildlife, the trumpeter swans, many species of birds that use the wet lands and ponds on the property? How about property values? Who is going to want to purchase my home with the ugly panels staring at them right outside my window, and my neighbors windows, porches, decks? Please, please help us! We are devastated by this possibility. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Council Meeting: May 25, 2017 Prepared By: Brad Martens Topic: Action Steps to Retain and Attract Business Action Required: Direction Summary: At the April 27th City Council meeting, staff was provided direction on areas of interest in working towards the goal of retaining and attracting business. Attached to this report is a spreadsheet outlining various details for implementing the ideas generated at the meeting. Councilmember Bottema is looking into information related to re-activating the EDA and will have that available at a future meeting. It is requested that Council review the options and provide direction to staff on what items to work towards. A more detailed work plan will be established after receiving direction from the Council. Financial/Budget: The amount of investment required is dependent on the initiatives selected. Currently no funds are earmarked for this goal of retaining and attracting business. Alignment with Values: This item relates to the following adopted values: EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY IN THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES We believe that service to the public is our reason for being and strive to deliver quality services in a highly professional, cost-effective, and friendly manner. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY We believe that fiscal responsibility and the prudent stewardship of public funds is essential for citizen confidence in government. Options: 1. Provide direction to staff on preferred methods to attract and retain business. 2. Send back to staff for further review. Recommendation: Based upon the market analysis, staff recommends primary effort is placed on facilitating dialogue with existing properties and potential developers/brokers, as well as developing a marketing plan for the community. Council Action: Direct staff on preferred methods to attract and retain business. Attachments: 1. Action Steps to Retain and Attract Business Action Steps to Retain and Attract Business Item Background Pros Cons Effort Required Financial Commitment Required Timeframe Establish a new TIF District TIF enables the use of additional property taxes gerated by an improvement such as a redevelopment to pay for certain development expenses. Requires "but for" test meaning that we must believe the project would not have gone forward "but for" or without the use of TIF. Can spur economic development by assisting in paying for a portion of a project by capturing the increment and using it in the district. Increase in taxes collected from redevelopment does not bring the overall tax rate down as it is not applied to the entire City. Requires administrative oversight for establishment and monitoring. Primary effort would be from a consultant that would be hired to review the proposed project and draft necessary documents. Although a formal quote has not been obtained it is believed that an investment between $10,000 - $20,000 would be required. Establishing a TIF District is extremely complex and requires following specific steps in a proper order. It is anticipated that a time period of six to nine months would be required to establish a new TIF District. Market the Community Many communities choose to establish marketing materials/initiatives to encourage and attract new investment in the community. Possibilities range from website updates and use of social media to full blown marketing campaigns and community branding initiatives. Cities proactively marketing themselves can help to establish a brand rather than letting others establish the brand. Marketing can help attract new investment and create a buzz about the community. Requires a strong vision of who we are and who we want to be which takes time and dedication. A full community branding effort requires hiring a consultant. Council effort would be required to develop our “brand” and deciding who we want to market to; staff effort following would be to create materials (electronic and print) and to work with developers and organizations to get out our message. A low level marketing initiative could be done with little resources. A marketing group could be hired to assist in establishing our “brand” which would require a financial commitment; creating most materials could be done in-house however print items will incur costs Three to six months to establish our brand; materials created afterwards in 60 days Meet with existing business owners to learn from them Corcoran has dozens of successsful business owners who likely have advice to share with the City in regards to how the City could retain and attract business. Learn from existing business owners of challenges that exist and new ideas. Requires little financial commitment. Requires significant amount of time. Staff would work with Council to develop a questionnaire in advance of meetings; afterward meetings would be set up taking significant time between staff and Council Minimal costs associated with creating a questionnaire A questionnaire could be created within a month and meetings could be setup afterwards; a likely schedule would be two – four meetings per month Action Steps to Retain and Attract Business Item Background Pros Cons Effort Required Financial Commitment Required Timeframe Chamber of Commerce Chamber of Commerce groups assist businesses to become more successful and communities to attract and retain business. Chambers are good at connecting cities with businesses in an informal setting. Chambers often times also provide other support to organizations such as assisting in marketing efforts. Being an active member of the Chamber of Commerce takes time. Also, there are requirements to ensure it is a valid public expenditure. Some city attorneys have advised cities not to be members. Corcoran is already part of the I-94 West Chamber of Commerce however not very active. Staff could invite the Chamber in to better understand how they could assist us and how we could be more involved. Other Chambers also exist. Councilmember LaFave mentioned the North Hennepin Chamber of Commerce. Normal membership costs would apply, unsure of additional costs/opportunities A meeting could be set up in the near future with various Chambers presenting to the Council. Staff would recommend getting an opinion from the City Attorney before becoming more active. STAFF REPORT Agenda Item 12a. Council Meeting: May 25, 2017 Prepared By: Brad Martens Topic: Available Finances for Paving Gravel Collector Roads Action Required: Direction Summary: Staff is working towards recommending a preferred section of gravel collector road for paving as directed by the Council. Information needed as part of the decision making process is an understanding of what finances are available. Staff envisions utilizing the existing fund balance of Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds which is over $1 million. Additionally the following options are available to the City: Borrowing ahead on MSA funds o A city can borrow ahead on five years’ worth of MSA funds. This amount would be approximately $1.2 million Existing Asphalt Maintenance fund o An existing Asphalt Maintenance fund exists with a balance of approximately $70,000 Issuing general obligation debt o The city can choose to issue debt to be paid back over time by the general fund. Long range planning funds o Approximately $160,000 is uncommitted in the long range planning fund. These funds could be committed to paving. Council should provide direction to staff on what funds should be considered “available” in order to select a preferred section of collector gravel road to recommend. Financial/Budget: Utilizing MSA funds, existing asphalt maintenance fund, and long range planning funds would not impact the overall tax rate as those funds would not need to be levied. Issuing general obligation debt would need to be repaid by the general fund. Alignment with Values: This item relates to the following adopted values: EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY IN THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES We believe that service to the public is our reason for being and strive to deliver quality services in a highly professional, cost-effective, and friendly manner. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY We believe that fiscal responsibility and the prudent stewardship of public funds is essential for citizen confidence in government. Options: 1. Provide direction to staff on what funds should be considered “available” in order to select a preferred section of collector gravel road to recommend. 2. Send back to staff for further review. Recommendation: In order to complete the paving of a significant section of gravel collector road it is recommended that at minimum the existing MSA fund along with borrowing five years ahead be directed as available. Council Action: Provide direction to staff on what funds should be considered “available” in order to select a preferred section of collector gravel road to recommend. Attachments: None STAFF REPORT Agenda Item 12b. Council Meeting: May 25, 2017 Prepared By: Brad Martens Topic: Interim Ordinance – Community Solar Gardens Action Required: Approval Summary: At the direction of the Mayor, staff has drafted an interim ord inance that would place a one year moratorium on establishing community solar gardens in rural residential and urban reserve districts in Corcoran. The purpose of the moratorium is to allow the City Council to study the ordinance and discuss possible amendments prior to reviewing additional applications. Financial/Budget: There are minor costs associated with publishing the ordinance. Additional costs may be incurred amending the ordinance. Alignment with Values: This item relates to the following adopted values: EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY IN THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES We believe that service to the public is our reason for being and strive to deliver quality services in a highly professional, cost-effective, and friendly manner. TREATING THE CITIZEN AS OUR CUSTOMER We believe that citizens are our customers and should be treated with courtesy, respect, and deserve the best services we can provide. Options: 1.
