City Council Members, Citizens and Others:
It is my privilege to present the 2021 budget for the City of Gem Lake. This budget, as adopted by
the City Council identifies how the City resources will be spent in 2021. This budget is the City's
financial management plan and has been designed to be responsive to public service demands and
for carrying out services over the coming year. The 2021 budget is the result of sound financial
management, and affords some protection for the future operation of the City. It is the City's intent
to submit and manage the budget in the most open and straightforward manner possible, which will
allow consistent and careful management of all resources. The City continually faces many
challenges, which draw upon the resources and value judgments of all of us.
The City budget focus has been to maintain services provided and existing infrastructure. Public
safety remains a priority for the City and this budget includes expenditures to funds to hire a
building/development inspector to ensure city codes are followed. Also for 2021, the City has
included increases to both the police and fire budgets and a contingency budget of $10,000, The Ice
and Snow Removal budget was decreased from 2020 budgeted expenditure levels. Finally, $25,000
is being budgeted to fund future capital projects in the City.
On the revenue side, the largest revenue source is property taxes, which make up almost 90.49% of
total revenues for the City. The 2021 property tax levy is increased 0.881 % and the City's tax
capacity also increase 14.369%, which results in a tax rate of 36.249% compared to 41.227% in
2020. Based on this most residents would see a decrease in their City property tax bills frorn 2020
to 2021.
As 2021 unfolds, the City is well positioned to meet current and future challenges through sound
fiscal management. It is our hope this budget will meet the expectations and need of Gem Lake
residents. My sincere thanks are extended to the City Council for their time and effort in the
preparation of this document.
Respectfully,
Tom Kelly
City Treasurer

FUND STRUCTURE AND BUDGET BASIS
The financial structure of City of Gem Lake is similar to other governments with the use of funds.
Funds are the control structures that ensure that public moneys are spent only for those purposes
authorized and within amounts authorized. Funds are established to account for different types of
activities and legal restrictions that are associated with a particular government function. The
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) defines a fund as..
A fiscal and accounting entity with a self -balancing set of accounts recording cash and other
financial resources, together with all related liabilities and residual equities or balances, and
changes therein, which are segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or
attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations.
Ail of the funds used by the City must be classified into one of seven "fund types." Four of these fund
types are used to account for the City's "governmental -type" activities and are known as "governmental
funds." Two of these fund types are used to account for a government's "business -type" activities and
are known as "proprietary funds." Finally, the seventh fund type is reserved for a government's
"fiduciary activities." The City currently does not operate any fiduciary activities.
Governmental Fund types are used to account for governmental -type activities. These are the
General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, and Capital Projects Funds.
The General Fund is used to account for most of the day-to-day operations of the City, which are
financed from property taxes and other general revenues. Activities financed by the General Fund are
those not accounted for in other funds. There can only be one General Fund.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for revenues derived from specific taxes or other
earmarked revenue sources, which, by law, are designated to finance particular functions, or activities
of the City and which therefore cannot be diverted to other uses. The Special Revenue Funds the City
operates are the Park and Playground Fund, which was established to purchase and develop parks
and trails in the City through the collection of park dedication fees on new developments or building
permits and new for 2015 is a fund to account for possible grants the City may apply for to help
redevelop its commercial district.
Debt Service Funds are used to account for the payment of interest and principal on general and
special obligation debts other than debt issued for and serviced by a governmental enterprise.
The Capital Projects Funds account for all resources used for the acquisition and/or construction of
capital equipment and facilities except those financed by Enterprise and Internal Service Funds.
Two Proprietary Fund Types are used to account for the City's business -type activities. These are
the Enterprise Funds and the Internal Service Funds.
The City's Enterprise Funds are the Sewer and Water Operating Funds. These funds are used to
account for the acquisition, operation and maintenance of these facilities and services, which are
entirely or predominantly self -supported, by user charges. The operations of the Sewer and Water
Operating Funds are accounted for in such a manner as to show a profit or loss similar to private
enterprises.
Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods and services provided by one
department to other departments of the City, on a cost -reimbursement basis. The City of Gem Lake
does not have any Internal Service Funds.
Fiduciary Funds are used when a government holds or manages financial resources in an agent or
fiduciary capacity. The City of Gem Lake does not operate any of these funds at the current time.
The Budget Basis used by the City of Gem Lake is the modified accrual basis of accounting for
governmental fund types (for example, the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service and
Capital Project Funds). Under this accounting method, revenues are recognized in the accounting
period in which they become available and measurable. Available means collectible within the current
period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Expenditures are
recognized in the period in which the fund liability is incurred, except for unmatured interest on general
long-term debt, which is recognized when due.
Enterprise Funds use the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis, revenues are
recognized when they are measurable and earned. Expenses are recognized in the period incurred, if
measurable. The budget basis for Enterprise and Internal Service Funds is also the accrual basis with
the exceptions noted below.
The City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) shows the status of the City's finances on
the basis of "generally accepted accounting principles" (GAAP). This conforms to the way the City
prepares its budget.
The CAFR shows fund expenditures on both a GAAP basis and budget basis for comparison purposes
BUDGET PROCESS
The budget process begins in August with the City Treasurer developing a draft budget. The Mayor
and Treasurer then meet in late August or early September to refine the draft budget. It is this budget
that is presented to the full City Council in a workshop session in early September. It is from this
workshop that a preliminary tax levy is presented and adopted no later than September 301h of each
year. Once adopted the preliminary levy is certified to Ramsey County. Over the next few months, the
Mayor and Treasurer develop a final draft budget and tax levy, which again is presented to the full City
Council for review in November. From the meeting a final budget and tax levy is developed and
presented in November. After the presentation the City Council votes to approve the budget and adopt
the final property tax levy. In late December, the final levy is certified to the County Auditor. During the
fiscal year, line items may be overspent as long as the total activity budget is not overspent. The Mayor
can recommend changes for activities' budget to the City Council. The Council can than approve or
disapprove the change, in the form of a budget amendment. Only with the City Council approval can an
activity be overspent and only if funding is available. However, the property tax levy cannot be
amended.

GENERAL FUND SUMMARY
FUND DESCRIPTION:
The General Fund accounts for the ordinary operations of the City, which are financed from taxes and
other general revenues, which are not accounted for in another fund. The modified accrual basis of
accounting is used in the General Fund. That is, expenditures are recorded at the time liabilities are
incurred and revenues are recorded when received.
BUDGET SUMMARY:
Property taxes are the largest revenue source, with the general government department as the largest
expenditure area planned for 2021. The 2021 General Fund budget of $492,385 is a 5.15% decrease
over the City's 2020 budget and is a balanced budget. The graphs below and on the next page
demonstrate the percentage breakdown of budgeted revenues by classification and expenditure by
department. Page 10 also shows this information numerically.

DESCRIPTION:
The Debt Service Funds repay the outstanding debt obligations of the City of Gem Lake. Debt service
funds use the modified accrual basis of accounting; however, the cash basis of accounting will be used
for budgetary purposes only. The cash basis is used for budgeting to ensure that sufficient cash will be
available to make required payments on the City's bonded indebtedness.
GOALS:
Retire all debt in a timely basis as scheduled.

DEBT LIMITATIONS:
All Minnesota municipalities (counties, cities, towns and school districts) are subject to statutory "net
debt" limitations under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.53. Under this provision, the
legal debt limit is 3.0% of the assessor's market value of the municipalities' tax base. Bond issues
covered by this limit are those that are financed by property taxes unless at least 20% of the annual
debt service costs are financed by special assessments or tax increments. At present, the City has one
bond issue that is subject to the debt limit: the 2015 G O. Refunding Bonds. The City's current legal
debt limit and debt margin is as follows.
Legal Debt Limit (3% of Estimated Market Value) $4,104,957
Less: Outstanding Debt Subject to Limit (530,000)
Legal Debt Margin as of January 1, 2021 $3,574,957
BUDGET COMMENTARY_
The City's debt consists of a capital improvement plan bond for the construction of Heritage Hall, which
is repaid from a property tax levy and was refunded with the 2015 G. O. Refunding Bond. In 2018, the
34
City issued improvement bonds with a principal of $660,000.00. In 2013, the City paid off the
outstanding principal balance of its 2004A and 2006A improvement bonds, which are included in this
document as the Funds still had activity to close out its balance in 2018.

ACTUAL ACTUAL ESTIMATED
12.65 12.75 15.67
The main revenue source is sewer revenues, which are based on the number of sewer connections,
past sewer usage and sewer rate. Sewer charges are estimated to generate revenues of $37,500
and currently no rate increase was used to estimate 2021 revenues; however, The City will review its
rates and adjust if needed to properly fund future sewer operations.
Interest income is another revenue source and is based on estimated interest earning,
On the expense side, the largest expense within Other Services and Charges are the M.C.E.S.
Charges for sewer treatment. These charges are based on actual sewer flows and sewer treatment
costs charged by the M.C.E.S. The City's flows have increased over the past year and the cost of
treating wastewater has increased. For 2021, the M.C.E.S. Charges have increased 14.52% to
$38,840.
Since sewer flows have been increasing over the past several years, the City is budgeting $25.000
to inspect sewer lines for infiltration of ground water into the system
The City also annually budgets to flush (clean) sewer lines to prevent sewer nacKups. For 2021,
$20,000 is budgeted to flush sewer lines.

SUMMARY OF TAX LEVIES, PAYMENT PROVISIONS,
AND MINNESOTA REAL PROPERTY VALUATION
The following is a summary of certain statutory provisions effective beginning 2011 relative to tax
levy procedures, tax payment and credit procedures, and the mechanics of real property valuation.
The summary does not purport to be inclusive of all such provisions or of the specific provisions
discussed, and is qualified by reference to the complete text of applicable statutes, rules and
regulations of the State of Minnesota.
Property Valuations (Chapter 273, Minnesota Statutes)
Assessor's Estimated Market Value
Each parcel of real property subject to taxation must, by statute, be appraised at least once every
five years as of January 2 of the year of appraisal. With certain exceptions, all property is valued at
its market value, which is the value the assessor determines to be the price the property to be fairly
worth, and which is referred to as the "Estimated Market Value."
Taxable Market Value
The Taxable Market Value is the value that property taxes are based on, after all reductions,
limitations, exemptions and deferrals. It is also the value used to calculate a municipality's legal
debt limit.
Indicated Market Value
The Indicated Market Value is determined by dividing the Taxable Market Value of a given year by
the same year's sales ratio determined by the State Department of Revenue. The Indicated Market
Value serves to eliminate disparities between individual assessors and equalize property values
statewide.
Net Tax Caoacit
The Net Tax Capacity is the value upon which net taxes are levied, extended and collected. The
Net Tax Capacity is computed by applying the class rate percentages specific to each type of
property classification against the Taxable Market Value. Class rate percentages vary depending
on the type of property as shown on the 101 page of the Appendix. The formulas and class rates for
converting Taxable Market Value to Net Tax Capacity represent a basic element of the State's
property tax relief system and are subject to annual revisions by the State Legislature.
Property taxes are determined by multiplying the Net Tax Capacity by the tax capacity rate, plus
multiplying the referendum market value by the market value rate.
Property Tax Payments and Delinquencies
(Chapters 275, 276, 277, 279-282 and 549, Minnesota Statutes)
Ad valorem property taxes levied by local governments in Minnesota are extended and collected by
the various counties within the State. Each taxing jurisdiction is required to certify the annual tax
levy to the county auditor within five (5) working days after December 20 of the year proceeding the
collection year. A listing of property taxes due is prepared by the county auditor and turned over to
the county treasurer on or before the first business day in March.
The county treasurer is responsible for collecting all property taxes within the county. Real estate

and personal property tax statements are mailed out by March 31. One-half (1/2) of the taxes on
real property is due on or before May 15. The remainder is due on or before October 15. Real
property taxes not paid by their due date are assessed a penalty which, depending on the type of
property, increases from 2% to 4% on the day after the due date. In the case of the first installment
of real property taxes due May 15, the penalty increases to 4% or 8% on June 1. Thereafter, an
additional 1 % penalty shall accrue each month through October 1 of the collection year for unpaid
real property taxes. In the case of the second installment of real property taxes due October 15, the
penalty increases to 6% or 8% on November 1 and increases again to 8% or 12% on December 1.
Personal property taxes remaining unpaid on May 16 are deemed to be delinquent and a penalty of
8% attaches to the unpaid tax. However, personal property owned by a tax-exempt entity, but which
is treated as taxable by virtue of a lease agreement, is subject to the same delinquent property tax
penalties as real property.
On the first business day of January of the year following collection all delinquencies are subject to
an additional 2% penalty, and those delinquencies outstanding as of February 15 are filed for a tax
lien judgment with the district court. By March 20 the county auditor files a publication of legal
action and a mailing notice of action to delinquent parties. Those property interests not responding
to this notice have judgment entered for the amount of the delinquency and associated penalties.
The amount of the judgment is subject to a variable interest determined annually by the Department
of Revenue, and equal to the adjusted prime rate charged by banks, but in no event is the rate less
than 10% or more than 14%.
Property owners subject to a tax lien judgment generally have five years (5) in the case of all
property located outside of cities or in the case of residential homestead, agricultural homestead
and seasonal residential recreational property located within cities or three (3) years with respect to
other types of property to redeem the property. After expiration of the redemption period,
unredeemed properties are declared tax forfeit with title held in trust by the State of Minnesota for
the respective taxing districts. The county auditor, or equivalent thereof, then sells those properties
not claimed for a public purpose at auction. The net proceeds of the sale are first dedicated to the
satisfaction of outstanding special assessments on the parcel, with any remaining balance in most
cases being divided on the following basis: county - 40%; Township or city - 20%; and school
district - 40%.
Property Tax Credits (Chapter 273, Minnesota Statutes)
In addition to adjusting the taxable value for various property types, primary elernents of Minnesota's
property tax relief system are. property tax levy reduction aids; the renter's credit, which relates
property taxes to incorne and provides relief on a sliding income scale; and targeted tax relief, which
is aimed primarily at easing the effect of significant tax increases. The circuit breaker credit and
targeted credits are reimbursed to the taxpayer upon application by the taxpayer. Property tax levy
reduction aid includes educational aids, local governmental aid, equalization aid, county program
aid and disparity reduction aid.
Debt Limitations
All Minnesota municipalities (county, cities, townships and school districts) are subject to statutory
"net debt" limitations under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.53. Net debt is
defined as the amount remaining after deducting from gross debt the amount of current revenues
which are applicable within the current fiscal year to the payment of any debt and the aggregation of
the principal of the following:
Obligations issued for improvements which are payable wholly or partially from the
proceeds of special assessments levied upon benefited property.

Levies for General Obligation Debt
(Sections 475.61 and 475.74, Minnesota Statutes)
Any municipality which issues general obligation debt must, at the time of issuance, certify levies to
the county auditor of the county(ies) within which the municipality is situated. Such levies shall be in
an amount that if collected in full will, together with estimates of other revenues pledged for payment
of the obligations, produce at least five percent in excess of the amount needed to pay principal and
interest when due. Notwithstanding any other limitations upon the ability of a taxing unit to levy
taxes, its ability to levy taxes for a deficiency in prior levies for payment of general obligation
indebtedness is without limitation as to rate or amount.
Metropolitan Revenue Distribution
(Chapter 473F, Minnesota Statutes)
"Fiscal Disparities Law"
The Charles R. Weaver Metropolitan Revenue Distribution Act, more commonly know as "Fiscal
Disparities" was first implemented for taxes payable in 1975. Forty percent of the increase in
cornmercial-industrial (including public utility and railroad) net tax capacity valuation since 1971 in
each assessment district in the Minneapolis/St. Paul seven -county metropolitan area (Anoka,
Carver, Dakota, excluding the City of Northfield, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, excluding the City of
New Prague, and Washington Counties) is contributed to an area -wide tax base. A distribution
index, based on the factors of population and real property market value per capita, is employed in
determining what proportion of the net tax capacity value in the area -wide tax base shall be
distributed back to each assessment district.
