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 $9,287,910. <br />Note 7: CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS <br />During 2015, the City implemented several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Governmental Accounting <br />Standards Board (GASB), including Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions - an <br />Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27 and Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to <br />the Measurement Date - an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 68, for the year ended December 31, 2015. These <br />standards required a retroactive implementation which resulted in the restatement of beginning balances in the December <br />31, 2014 financial statements. Changes related to these standards are reflected in the financial statements and schedules <br />and related disclosures are included in Note 4. <br />As a result of the restatement of beginning balances, the following schedule reconciles the previously reported <br />December 31, 2014 balances to the December 31, 2015 financial statements: <br />Fund <br />Governmental activities <br />Business -type activities <br />Business -type activities <br />Water <br />Sewer <br />Storm Water <br />Total business -type activities <br />December 31, 2015 <br />Net Position <br />January 1, 2015 <br />Net Position <br />as Previously <br />Prior Period January 1, 2015 <br />Reported <br />Restatement (1) as Restated <br />$ 10,622,139 $ (347,566) $ 10,274,573 <br />$ 11,322,608 $ (137,025) $ 11,185,583 <br />$ 5,775,889 $ (54,275) $ 5,721,614 <br />4,649,563 (54,290) 4,595,273 <br />897,156 (28,460) 868,696 <br />$ 11,322,608 $ (137,025) $ 11,185,583 <br />(1) To record beginning net pension liability, deferred inflows of resources and deferred outflow of resources at <br />January 1, 2015. <br />-68- <br />
