<br />State statutes limit the amount of net debt a Minnesota city may issue to 3 percent of total estimated
<br />market value.
<br />
<br />The net pension liability decreased from the prior year, due to the change in the City’s proportionate share
<br />of pension obligations for the Public Employees Retirement Association – General Employees Retirement
<br />Fund state-wide pension plan.
