CITY OF CENTERVILLE, MINNESOTA
<br />NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
<br />DECEMBER 31, 2015
<br />Note 6: OTHER INFORMATION - CONTINUED
<br />B. Legal debt margin
<br />In accordance with Minnesota statutes, the City may not incur or be subject to net debt in excess of 3 percent of the
<br />market value of taxable property within the City. Net debt is payable solely from ad valorem taxes and, therefore,
<br />excludes debt financed partially or entirely by special assessments, Enterprise fund revenues or tax increments. The
<br />market value of taxable property is $320,597,000 which leaves a debt margin of $9,617,910. Currently the City has
<br />$330,000 of general obligation debt outstanding, leaving a debt margin of $9,287,910.
<br />Note 7: CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
<br />During 2015, the City implemented several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Governmental Accounting
<br />Standards Board (GASB), including Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions - an
<br />Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27 and Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to
<br />the Measurement Date - an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 68, for the year ended December 31, 2015. These
<br />standards required a retroactive implementation which resulted in the restatement of beginning balances in the December
<br />31, 2014 financial statements. Changes related to these standards are reflected in the financial statements and schedules
<br />and related disclosures are included in Note 4.
<br />As a result of the restatement of beginning balances, the following schedule reconciles the previously reported
<br />December 31, 2014 balances to the December 31, 2015 financial statements:
