June 16, 2025
To the Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Citizens of the City of Hastings:
It is my honor to present the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) to you. This
document is a thorough report of the City’s financial position, and I am pleased to affirm the City
is in a sound financial position and well positioned to continue to serve our constituents in a
fiscally responsible manner.
Minnesota state law requires that every city with a population in excess of 2,500 publish within
six months of the close of each fiscal year,a complete set of financial statements presented in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP)
and audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. This report is published to fulfill that
requirement for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of allthe information
presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations,
management of the City of Hastings established a comprehensive internal control framework
designed both to protect the City assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient
reliable information for the preparation of the City of Hastings’ financial statements in conformity
with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh the benefits, the City of
Hastings’ comprehensive framework of internal controls is designed to provide reasonable rather
than absolute assurance that financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As
management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is
complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City of Hastings’ financial statements were audited by BerganKDV, a firm of licensed certified
public accountants who issued an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the financial statements of the
City of Hastings for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The independent audit involved
examining,on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements; assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by
management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent
auditor concluded, based upon the audit, there was a reasonable basis for rendering an
unmodified opinion the City of Hastings’ financial statements for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2024, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The Independent Auditors’
Report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
4
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to
accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and should be read in
conjunction with it. The City of Hastings’ MD&A can be found immediately following the report
of the independent auditors.
City Profile
The City of Hastings is a municipal corporation, incorporated in 1857, in the State of Minnesota,
within the corporate limits and boundaries established by the Home Rule Charter of the City. We
are located approximately 20 miles south of St. Paul at the junction of the Mississippi and St. Croix
Rivers in the east central part of the state. As a riverfront community, the City of Hastings was
the birthplace of many early commercial enterprises and is the county seat of Dakota County.A
small portion of the City is located in Washington County. The City is empowered to levy a
property tax on both real and personal property located within its boundaries. The City also has
statutory authority to extend its corporate limits by annexation, which is done periodically when
deemed appropriate by the governing City Council.
As a part of the seven-county Minneapolis/St. Paul Metropolitan area, Hastings is within the
jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Council, a regional planning agency for the Twin Cities
Metropolitan region. The City's population continues to grow from 15,478 in 1990 to an estimated
22,477 in 2024. The Metropolitan Council projects that the city’s population will grow to 25,500
by the year 2030. The City encompasses an area of 12.05 square miles.
The City Charter declares the City operate under a “Mayor-Council Plan”form of government.
Policymaking and legislative authority are vested in the City Council, which consists of a mayor
and six other members, all elected on a non-partisan basis. The Mayor and Council members are
elected to four-year staggered terms with a two-year difference between at-large and ward
council seats. Four Councilmembers are elected from within their respective wards and the
Mayor and two Councilmembers are elected at-large. The Council is responsible, among other
things, for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing commissions and/or citizen
committees and hiring the City Administrator. The City Administrator is the chief administrative
officer of the City and is responsible to the Council for the administration of the City’s affairs set
forth in the City’s Charter. This includes carrying out the policies and ordinances of the City,
overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City, and the heads of various departments and City
employees.
The City of Hastings provides a full range of services, includingpolice and fire protection, advanced
and basic life support ambulance services, the construction and maintenance of highways, streets,
parks, infrastructure, recreational and cultural facilities and general administrative services. In
addition, the City provides enterprise activities such as: water,sewer and storm water services,
as well as hydroelectric power generation.The City operates the Hastings Family Aquatic Center
and Civic Arena, contributes to joint powers recreational operations, and supports several other
important community-based events and projects.
The Council is required to adopt a final budget no later than the close of the fiscal year. The annual
budget represents the financial plan and priorities of the City of Hastings.It is intended to clearly
communicate the City’s goals and how resources are allocated to those priorities in an easy-to-
5
understand manner. In essence, the budget process is ongoing,whereby priorities and goals are
established and funded in alignment with Council directives, strategic plan, and our CORE values.
All departments are required to submit requests for appropriation to the City Administrator, who
must balance the competing needs against available resources. Based upon direction from the
City Council and the requests made, a proposed budget is prepared with input from the City’s
Finance Committee (a three-member committee of the council) and submitted to the City Council.
The preliminary levy is adopted no later than September 30th. The City Council may only make
adjustments that reduce the final levy from the adopted preliminary levy and is required to adopt
a final budget no later than December 31st, the close of the City of Hastings’ fiscal year.
Department Heads are held responsible for their budget performance. Department Heads may
request transfers of appropriations within their departments. Transfers between departments
require City Council approval. Budget-to-actual comparisons are provided in this report for each
individual governmental fund for which an annual budget is adopted. For the General Fund, this
comparison is presented as part of the basic financial statements for the Governmental Funds.
For the governmental funds with annual budgets, other than the General Fund and the Fire and
Ambulance Special Revenue Fund,this comparison is presented in the Governmental Fund
subsection of this report, as noted in the table of contents.
Local Economy
The City continues to see economic growth and local indicators point to continued stability in this
area. The region has a varied manufacturing/industrial base. Major industries with headquarters
or divisions located within the City’s boundaries or in close proximity include an office and
stationery supplies manufacturer, flour and other grain mill producer, plastics producer, and
several financial and insurance institutions. The state, county and school district also all have a
major economic presence in the area, as we are home to the Dakota County main governmental
complex and Hastings’ Independent School District 200 offices.
We experienced a decrease in the number of permits and the overall value of work done from the
prior year for a second straight year.While these numbers declined from 2023, they still represent
the third highest value of permits in the City’s recent history. Below is a chart that gives a brief
building permit history.

Major Initiatives
In 2024,the City issued permits to construct 43 new residential units and 81 permits for
commercial and industrial expansion and development.Development included completion of two
apartment buildings that were completed in 2024.A 6,000 square foot auto repair building was
completed in 2024 as well.
The City received a total allocation of $2.5 million allocation through the federal government’s
ARPA grant to respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency. The remainder of these funds
will be spent toward repairing and preserving the historic City Hall Dome, as well as a new finance
system. The finance system was completed in 2024 and upgraded the City’s cybersecurity, while
also bolstering its financial management capabilities. The City Hall renovation is well underway,
with 2025 completion being the goal.
Long-Term Financial Planning
The City continues to focus on maintaining the quality of life in the City of Hastings in alignment
with our CORE Values—Communication, Optimal Service, Respect for Resources, and Enthusiasm.
These values drive the development of our strategic plan, our budget process, and our
communication strategy.
Council strategic planning goals and efforts center around Financial Resilience, Operational
Effectiveness, Responsive Community Development, Infrastructure Sustainability, and Strategic
Communication.
The Utility, Debt, and Capital plans were all reviewed internally to better position the community
for long-term fiscal health. As part of long-term planning efforts, the City has identified capital
equipment and facility improvement needs. The City updates its 5-year capital plan that is part
of the annual budget process.These Capital Improvement and Equipment Plans aid in scheduling
debt issuance, reserves, grant applications, and other funding sources for equipment and
infrastructure.
Beginning in 2021/2022, the City developed a five-year model to use as part of its budget planning
process. The City also conducts periodic rate studies to analyze water, sanitary sewer, and storm
sewer budgets, last updated in March 2025.
Relevant Financial Policies
The City continues to improve and update its Capital Improvement and Capital Equipment Plans.
Policies cover such areas as debt management, investments, capital reserves, and internal
controls. The most recent update the City adopted was updating the capital asset policy in 2021
to increase the threshold for capitalizing assets from $5,000 to $10,000, and to begin depreciating
all capital items except road construction and utility projects the first month of the year following
purchase.

The City of Hastings currently has a debt management policy in place in order to manage the City’s
debt. The Council has placed three limits on the issuance of debt. Annual debt service percentage
calculated below is shown for governmental fund debt.
Policy 2024 Year End
a.) Total annual debt service for G.O. debt obligations per

Assessor’s market value of taxable property..73%
c.) Gross bonded debt will not exceed $1,800 per capita.$911
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Hastings for its
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the year ended December 31, 2023. This was
the 26th consecutive year the City received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a
Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently
organized comprehensive annual financial report.This report must satisfy both generally
accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. The City believes that our
current comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement
Program’s requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for
another certificate.
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the dedicated services of
the City staff. I would like to express my appreciation to the City Council for their leadership and
foresight in maintaining our financial position, the City’s Management Team members for their
thoughtful and deliberate approach to developing and living within our annual budget, and
specifically to the Finance Department staff for their dedication and expertise throughout the
year.
Respectfully submitted,

Independent Auditor's Report
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Hastings
Hastings, Minnesota
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the City of Hastings, Minnesota, as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2024, and the related notes to financial statements, which collectively comprise the
City's basic financial statements as listed in the Table of Contents.
In our opinion,the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City of Hastings, Minnesota, as of December 31, 2024, and the respective changes
in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, and the budgetary comparison for the
General Fund, the Fire and Ambulance Special Revenue Fund and the Ice Arena Special Revenue Fund
for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City of Hastings
and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements
relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
The City of Hastings'management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, and for 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.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are
conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about City of Hastings'
ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date,
including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report
that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute
assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and
Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood
that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user
based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
•Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
•Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.
•Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 City of Hastings'internal control. Accordingly, no such
opinion is expressed.
•Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of
the financial statements.
•Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the
aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about City of Hastings'ability to continue as a going
concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal
control–related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
Management's Discussion and Analysis, which follows this report letter, and Required Supplementary
Information as listed in the Table of Contents be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the
basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), 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.
17
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Hastings' basic financial statements. The accompanying
supplementary information as identified in the Table of Contents is presented for purposes of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to
the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The
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 accompanying supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the Annual Comprehensive Financial
Report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not
include the basic financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic
financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any
form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and
the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement
of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 11,
2025, on our consideration of the City of Hastings' internal control over financial reporting and on our
tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements
and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of
internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to
provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting or on compliance.
That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards in considering the City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Hastings'basic
financial statements. The City of Hastings'basic financial statements comprise three components:
1) government-wide financial statements,2) fund financial statements,and 3) notes to financial
statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic
financial statements themselves.
Government-Wide Financial Statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed
to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Hastings'finances,in a manner similar to a
private-sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City of Hastings'assets and deferred
outflows of resources; and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources,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 of Hastings is improving or
deteriorating.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Overview of the Financial Statements (Continued)
Government-Wide Financial Statements (Continued). 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).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (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,health and sanitation,economic development and culture
and recreation. The business-type activities of the City include the following: water,sewer,storm,
and hydro-electric operations.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary
government),but also a legally separate Hastings Economic Development and Redevelopment
Authority (HEDRA). Financial information for this component unit is reported separately from the
financial information presented for the primary government itself.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 30-33 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts 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 function
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 financial 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 of 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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Overview of the Financial Statements (Continued)
Governmental Funds (Continued). The City maintains 22 individual governmental 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 of the general fund,the fire and
ambulance fund,the debt service fund,and the downtown redevelopment tax increment financing
fund,all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other 16 governmental funds are
combined into a single,aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor
governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the supplementary
information section of this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget. Budgetary comparison statements have been
provided for the general and special revenue funds to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 34-45 of this report.
Proprietary Funds. The City of Hastings maintains two different types 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 of Hastings uses enterprise funds to account for its
water,sewer,storm water,and hydro-electric operations. Internal service funds are an accounting
device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City of Hastings'various functions.
The City of Hastings uses internal service funds to account for its governmental vehicle expenses,
retiree health insurance costs,insurance expense,and compensated absences liability.These
services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type functions and have been
included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial
statements,only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate
information for each of the operations mentioned above,all of which have been reported as major
funds of the City. Conversely,the four internal service funds are combined into a single,aggregated
presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal
service funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the supplementary information
section of this report.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 46-52 of this report.
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 statement
because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City of Hastings'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 pages 54-55 of this report.
Notes to 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 can be found on pages 57-99 of this report.

Supplementary Information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes,
this report also presents certain supplementary information for the reader. The combining
statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds,internal service
funds,and fiduciary funds are presented immediately following the notes to the financial report.
Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 102-109 of this
report.
Government-Wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier,net position may serve as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In
the case of the City of Hastings,assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources by $101,842,030 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
By far the largest portion of the City's net position (72.4%)reflects its investment in capital assets
(e.g.,land,buildings,machinery,and equipment);less any related debt used to acquire those assets
that is still outstanding. The City of Hastings uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens;
consequently,these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City of Hastings'
investment in 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.

City of Hastings'Net Position (Continued)
At the end of 2024,the City of Hastings had positive balances in the categories of net position for the
government as a whole,as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities. The
unrestricted net position for the governmental activities continues to be positive due to positive
results in several funds'operations.
Governmental Activities. Governmental activities increased the City of Hastings'net position by
$4,177,080. The key elements of this increase were in revenues. State aid increased $564,831,
property tax revenue increased by $1.4 million,and local/county operating grants increased by
$562,200. Expenses increased by only 2%.

City of Hastings
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
Governmental Funds. The focus of the City of Hastings'governmental funds is to provide
information on near-term inflows,outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is
useful in assessing the City of Hastings'financing requirements. In particular,unassigned 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 of Hastings'governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $21,042,087. Approximately 25.5%of this total amount or $5,369,727
constitutes unassigned fund balance,which is available for spending at the government's discretion.
The remainder of fund balance is restricted or committed or assigned by the City Council to indicate
that it is not available for new spending. Activities such as Police activities,Debt service,and
Permanent Trust funds for the LeDuc Historic Estate are restricted or committed by council action.
Capital projects fund balance is assigned.
The City of Hastings governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance increase of
$952,660. The fund balance change is primarily due to the effect of the following factors:
•The General fund balance decreased by $467,093. The largest change was a decrease of
$1,182,195 in cash and investments. Some of this decrease was for one-time capital projects
funded by fund equity. In fact,capital outlay increased by $2,319,110 from 2023. Additional
reserves were spent on the City Hall renovation project,which was funded by the City's ARPA
allocation and General Fund reserves until the City received $1.9 million grant reimbursement
from the state of MN.
•The Ice Arena saw a fund balance increase of $1,599,455. This is due to bond proceeds
totaling about $5.4 million that are financing the Arena renovation capital project. The
project will be finished in 2025.
•The Park Projects fund saw a fund balance decrease of $557,306. This was due to grant
reimbursements not yet received for project work done in 2024,as well as approved use of
fund reserves made up from prior year allocations to complete projects.
•The Road Improvement Construction fund had a fund balance increase of $501,528 due to the
timing of capital projects and related debt issuances.
•The remaining governmental funds such as Fire and Ambulance,Debt Service,Aquatic,and
Cable TV had a cumulative decrease of $123,924.This was primarily associated with
scheduled debt service payments which were covered to a certain extent by existing fund
balance.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Hastings. At the end of the current fiscal
year,unassigned fund balance of the general fund was $7,181,073.
The Fire and Ambulance special revenue fund has a total fund balance of $1,176,349. This fund
accounts for the activities of the Fire and Ambulance department for the City of Hastings.
The Debt Service fund has a total fund balance of $5,543,447,most of which is restricted for the
payment of debt service.
The Downtown Revitalization Tax Increment Financing capital projects fund has a deficit fund
balance of $1,684,526. The Confluence opened in late 2023. It is hoped that the project will begin
reimbursing the City once the District begins collecting sufficient tax increment revenue.
27
City of Hastings
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds (Continued)
Proprietary Funds. The City of Hastings'proprietary funds provide the same type of information
found in the government-wide financial statements,but in more detail.Unrestricted net position in
the respective proprietary funds are:
Water 6,150,520$
Sewer 3,804,063
Storm 1,607,022
Hydro 516,993
The Water,Sewer and Stormwater fund's activities resulted in an increase in net position primarily
due to an increase in utility rates. All utility funds had rate increases due to the most recent utility
rate study in 2024 to maintain cash reserves to help meet capital equipment needs. The Sewer and
Hydro funds had slight decreases to total net position in 2024,primarily attributable to depreciation
expense.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Actual expenditures were lower than the amended expenditures budget by $1.33 million. The most
significant differences from the final budget amounts are due to the following:
•Timing of capital outlay,such as equipment being delivered and project work completion
resulted in this area being about $1 million under budget.
•The IT department was also under budget in non-capital equipment and personnel by
$102,825.
Actual revenues were lower than the amended revenue budget by $701,751. The difference from the
final budget amount is primarily due to the following:
•The largest variance was $1,889,447 in Facilities for intergovernmental aid. The budgeted
amount was expected reimbursement of a state grant for the City Hall Dome project. This
reimbursement of just over $1.9 million was not received until May 2025,so it had to be
recognized in 2025 under the 60-day rule related to collections subsequent to year-end.
•The Facilities revenue being under budget is partially offset by investment income being
$476,990 over budget and General Government departments being $355,677 over budget in
charges for services revenue.
Significant changes between original and final budgets were a result of:
•Increased spending authority for the City Hall Renovation -$1,889,000.
•Adding authority for several capital purchases after the City's available resources according to
the fund balance policy had been verified.
Capital assets. The City of Hastings'investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-
type activities as of December 31,2024,amounts to $104,667,755 (net of accumulated depreciation)
an increase of $7,433,913. This investment in capital assets includes land,buildings,improvements,
machinery and equipment,park facilities,and infrastructure.

Long-Term Debt.
At the end of the current fiscal year,the City of Hastings had outstanding G.O. Revenue debt of
$7,800,000 comprises debt backed by the full faith and credit of the government and $12,870,000 of
G.O. special assessment debt for which the government is liable in the event of default by the
property owners subject to assessment. The remainder of the City of Hastings'debt represents bonds
secured solely by specified revenue sources (i.e. revenue bonds) but still carries the City's backing
(government obligation).More detailed information on debt administration can be found in Note 7 on
pages 73-78.
Economic Factors
In 2024,the City experienced decreased levels in all building permit areas other than commercial
remodels from 2023.Still,the overall increase in taxable market value of residential and commercial
new construction was $52.5 million,which is the third-highest total ever after 2022 and 2023.The
City experienced an increase of tax capacity of $1,697,943 between pay year 2023 and pay year
2024.
Next Year's Budget
The 2025 budget included a levy increase of $1,400,000,or 7.507%. Because tax capacity growth was
virtually flat,95% of the increased revenue was derived from the property tax rate,which increased
by 3.34%. The City anticipates receiving $1,281,406 of Local Government Aid from the State of
Minnesota,which is dedicated to funding one-time expenditures. Cost of living and health insurance
increases as well as capital outlay made up the increase from 2024 to 2025.

Statement 4
Total fund balances - governmental funds 21,042,087$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not current financial resources and, therefore,
are not reported as assets in governmental funds.
Cost of capital assets 173,765,399
Less accumulated depreciation/amortization (103,855,362)
Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current period and,
therefore, are not reported as liabilities in the funds.
Long-term liabilities at year-end consist of:
Bonds payable (23,250,000)
Unamortized bond premium and discount (1,836,734)
Lease payable (150,473)
Net pension liability (7,713,266)
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial resources are deferred
in the funds.
Taxes and special assessments 2,398,513
Grants, state shared tax, and other 5,467,838
Deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources are created as a result of various
differences related to pensions that are not recognized in the governmental funds.
Deferred inflows of resources related to fire relief pensions (323,220)
Deferred inflows of resources related to city pensions (11,082,039)
Deferred outflows of resources related to fire relief pensions 272,270
Deferred outflows of resources related to city pensions 9,274,621
The Fire Relief Association net pension asset created through contributions to a defined benefit
pension plan which is not recognized in the governmental funds. 2,249,758
Governmental funds do not report a liability for accrued interest due and payable. (500,459)
Internal Service Funds are used by management to charge the costs of insurance and capital
equipment to individual funds. These assets and liabilities of the Internal Service Funds are
included in governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position. (448,990)

Principal payments on long-term debt are recognized as expenditures in the governmental funds
but have no impact on net position in the Statement of Activities.
Bonds and leases payable 2,648,332
Governmental funds report the effects of bond premiums and discounts when debt is first issued,
whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of Activities. (594,257)
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 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. (213,002)
Proceeds from long-term debt are recognized as an other financing source in the governmental
funds but have no impact on net assets in the Statement of Activities. (7,710,000)
Certain receivables will be collected in subsequent years, but are not available soon enough to
pay for the current period's expenditures and, therefore, are deferred in the funds.

Grants, state shared tax, and other 1,792,831
Internal Service Funds are used by management to charge the costs of insurance and capital

City of Hastings
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
NOTE 1 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A.Reporting Entity
The City of Hastings is a municipal corporation formed under the Home Rule Charter of the City and
operates under a Mayor-Council form of government. The seven-member Council and Mayor are
elected on rotating terms in each odd-numbered year. The accompanying basic financial statements
present the City and its component unit for which the City is considered to be financially
accountable. The Hastings Economic Development and Redevelopment Authority (HEDRA), a
discretely presented component unit is reported in a separate column in the government-wide
financial statements to emphasize that it is legally separate from the City.
Discretely Presented Component Unit. The City's HEDRA with Housing and Redevelopment Authority
(HRA)powers is a component unit that operates for the purpose of providing economic development
and redevelopment services to the City of Hastings. The governing body consists of a seven-member
board of commissioners appointed by the Hastings City Council. The HEDRA Board has the power to
levy taxes, issue debt and enter into contracts and agreements. The Hastings City Council can impose
its will upon the HEDRA board and has the ability to veto, overrule, or modify decisions made by the
HEDRA board. The HEDRA does not prepare separate financial statements.
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 City and its component unit.
For the most part, the effect of interfund activity was removed from these statements.
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. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from the legally
separate component unit for which the primary government is financially responsible.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment, are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers
or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, service 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 that
are properly not included in 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.
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 and fiduciary fund financial
statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is
incurred, regardless of the timing of the 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.
58
City of Hastings
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
NOTE 1 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C.Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
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,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.
Description of Funds:
Major Governmental Funds:
General Fund –This fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another
fund.
Fire and Ambulance –Special Revenue Fund accounts for resources and payments related to
the operations of the City's firefighting and ambulance services. Revenue sources are fire and
ambulance services, state aid, interest and tax levy.
Ice Arena –Special Revenue Fund accounts for the resources and payments related to
operations of the City's ice arena.
Debt Service Fund –This fund accounts for resources accumulated and payments for principal
and interest on long term general obligation debt and general obligation special assessment
debt.
Road Improvement Construction Fund –This fund accounts for the activities related to street
construction and improvements.
Downtown Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing Capital Projects Fund –This fund
accounts for the activities the Downtown Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District.
Parks Projects Capital Projects Fund –This fund accounts for revenues and expenditures
related to the construction, development, and improvements to the City's parks.
Proprietary Funds:
Water Fund –This fund accounts for the activities related to the operation of a water
distribution system.

C.Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
Description of Funds: (Continued)
Proprietary Funds: (Continued)
Sewer Fund –This fund accounts for resources and payments related to the operation of a
sanitary collection system.
Storm Fund –This fund accounts for resources and payments related to the operation of the
storm water system.
Hydro Fund –This fund accounts for the funds generated by the hydroelectric plant. These
funds are used to finance the hydroelectric operating expenses.
The City also reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds –This fund accounts for the retiree health insurance expenses and the
related liability,work comp insurance and related liability,the expenses for the compensated
absences paid out upon termination or retirement as well as, expenses for vehicle revolving
services provided to other departments, on a cost reimbursement basis.
Trust Fund –This fund accounts for a trust created for the Dakota County Library. Ruth
Doffing donated money to the City for the sole purpose of funding materials for the Dakota
County Library.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City's utility functions
and various other functions of the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs
and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
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 revenue of
the City's enterprise funds and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services.
Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and
services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not
meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use
restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as needed.
D.Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources, and Net Position or Equity
1.Deposits and Investments
Cash and investments include balances from all funds that are combined and invested to the
extent available in various securities as authorized by state law. Earnings from the pooled
investments are allocated to the individual funds based on the average of month-end cash and
investment balances.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
NOTE 1 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
D.Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources, and Net Position or Equity
(Continued)
1.Deposits and Investments (Continued)
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.
Minnesota Statutes § 118A outlines authorized investments for the City, including obligations of
the U.S. Treasury, agencies and instrumentalities, shares of investment companies whose only
investments are in the aforementioned securities, obligations of the State of Minnesota or its
municipalities, bankers'acceptances, future contracts, repurchase and reverse repurchase
agreements, and commercial paper of the highest quality with a maturity of no longer than 270
days and in the Minnesota Municipal Investment Pool.
Certain investments for the City as well as for its component unit are reported at fair value as
disclosed in Note 3. The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value
hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the
valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3
inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 79, the Minnesota Municipal Investment Pool securities
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. There are no restrictions or
limitations on withdrawals from the 4M Liquid Asset Fund. Investments in the 4M Plus must be
deposited for a minimum of 14 calendar days. Withdrawals prior to the 14-day restriction period
will be subject to a penalty equal to seven days interest on the amount withdrawn. Seven days'
notice of redemption is required for withdrawals of investments in the 4M Term Series withdrawn
prior to the maturity date of that series. A penalty could be assessed as necessary to recoup the
Series for any charges, losses, and other costs attributable to the early redemption.
2.Receivables
All trade and property tax receivables are shown at a gross amount since both are assessable to
the property taxes and are collectible upon the sale of the property.The City levies its property
tax for the subsequent year during the month of December. December 28 is the last day the City
can certify a tax levy to the County Auditor for collection the following year.
Such taxes become a lien on January 1 and are recorded as receivables by the City at that date.
The property tax is recorded as revenue when it becomes measurable and available. Dakota
County is the collecting agency for the levy and remit the collections to the City three times a
year. The tax levy notice is mailed in March with the first half of the payment due on May 15 and
the second half due on October 15. Taxes not collected as of December 31 each year are shown
as delinquent taxes receivable.
The County Auditor prepares the tax list for all taxable property in the City, applying the
applicable tax rate to the tax capacity of individual properties, to arrive at the actual tax for
each property. The County Auditor also collects all special assessments, except for certain
prepayments paid directly to the City.

(Continued)
2.Receivables (Continued)
The County Auditor submits the list of taxes and special assessments to be collected on each
parcel of property to the County Treasurer in January of each year.
All trade and accounts receivable are shown net of allowance for uncollectible accounts which is
determined by analysis of historical collection trends. The allowance for ambulance receivables is
equal to 88% of outstanding receivables at year end.
3.Prepaid Items and Inventories
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 using the
consumption method.Materials and supplies, if material, are recorded at cost using first in first
out (FIFO) method and reported under the consumption method in the Governmental Funds and
Activities.
4.Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position and balance sheet 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 assets that applies to a future
period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until
then. The City presents deferred outflows on the Statements of Net Position for deferred
outflows of resources relating to pensions and OPEB for various estimate differences that will be
amortized and recognized over future years.
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 represents an acquisitions of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and
so will note recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.
The City has three items that qualify for reporting in this category. The City presents deferred
inflows of resources on the Government Fund Balance Sheet as unavailable revenue and advanced
appropriations. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from four sources, taxes and
assessments, grants and other credits. The governmental funds report advanced appropriations
for state shared tax. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow in the period that
amounts become available. The City also presents deferred inflows of resources on the
statements of net position related to pensions and OPEB for various estimate differences that will
be amortized and recognized over future years. Deferred inflows of resources related to lease
receivable is reported in both the government-wide statement of net position and the
governmental funds balance sheet.

5.Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property,plant, equipment, intangible,and infrastructure assets
(e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental
or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets
are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $10,000 and an
estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or
estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. In the case of the initial capitalization of
general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by governmental activities) the government
chose to include all such items regardless of their acquisition date or amount. The government
was able to estimate the historical cost for the initial reporting of these assets through back
trending (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 or estimated
acquisition year). As the government constructs or acquires additional capital assets each period,
including infrastructure assets, they are capitalized and reported at historical cost. In the case of
donations,the government values these capital assets at the acquisition value of the item at the
date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend assets lives are not capitalized.Major outlays for capital assets and
improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the
construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the
capitalized value of the asset constructed.
Pursuant to GASB Statement 51, in the case of initial capitalization of intangible assets, the City
chose not to retroactively report permanent easements. The City had already accounted for
temporary easements and computer software at historical cost and therefore retroactive
reporting was not necessary. The amounts of these assets are not material to the financial
statements and therefore, have not been reported separately from other capital assets. The City
acquired no intangible assets for the year ending December 31, 2024,other than right to use
assets that are reported separately in Note 4.

6.Compensated Absences
The liability for compensated absences reported in the statement of net position consists of leave
that has not been used that is attributable to services already rendered, accumulates and is more
likely than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid in cash or settled through noncash
means. The liability also includes amounts for leave that has been used for time off but has not
yet been paid in cash or settled through noncash means and certain other types of leave.
7.Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations reported as liabilities in the
applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, and proprietary fund type statement
of net position. Bond premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized evenly over the life of
the bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.

(Continued)
7.Long-Term Obligations (Continued)
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize 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.
8.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 the fire relief association and additions to/deductions from
PERA's and the fire relief association's fiduciary net position are determined on the same basis as
they are reported by PERA and the fire relief association except that PERA's fiscal year end is
June 30th. 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.
9.Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balances in classifications that
disclose constraints for which amounts in those funds can be spent. These classifications are as
follows:
•Nonspendable –Portions of fund balance related to prepays, inventories, long-term
receivables, and corpus on any permanent fund which are not in spendable form.
•Restricted –These funds are constrained by external parties (statute, grantors, bond
agreements, etc.).
•Committed –These fund constraints are established and modified by a resolution approved
by the City Council prior to year-end.
•Assigned –These funds consists of internally imposed constraints. These constraints are
established by City Council and/or management. The City Council also delegates the
authority to assign fund balance to the Finance Manager or his/her designee.
•Unassigned –This is the residual classification for the General Fund and also reflects
negative residual amounts in other funds.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund
balance is available, it is the City's policy to use restricted first, then unrestricted fund balance.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which committed, assigned, and unassigned
amounts are available, it is the City's policy to use committed first, then assigned, and finally
unassigned amounts.

(Continued)
9.Fund Balance (Continued)
The City formally adopted a fund balance policy for the governmental funds. The policy
establishes a fund balance range of 35% -45% of the subsequent year's budgeted expenditures.
Any unassigned surplus exceeding 45% upon the completion of the previous year's audit, will be
available for the City Council to transfer to a capital project fund, or other special commitment
made for those funds.
10.Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources; and
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources in the government-wide financial statements. Net
investment in capital assets, consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced
by the outstanding balance of any long-term debt used to build or acquire the capital assets. Net
position is reported as restricted in the government-wide financial statement when there are
limitations on use through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or
regulations of other governments.
E.Use of Estimates
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
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and
expenditures/expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F.Endowment
On April 27, 1987, the City was a recipient of a $200,000 endowment for the LeDuc Historic Estate.
The net appreciation on the endowment as of December 31, 2024,was $949,911. Both the initial
endowment and the net appreciation are classified as restricted in the Statement of Net Position.
The net appreciation is allowed to be spent for the preservation, repair, and operating needs of the
LeDuc Historic Estate.
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 all governmental funds except Budget Stabilization and the Road
Improvement Capital Projects Funds, which adopt project-length budgets, Guardian Angels TIF, NAPA
TIF, Downtown Redevelopment TIF, Hudson Sprayers TIF,Schoolhouse Square Tax Increment
Financing,Public Works Cold Storage Building, Escrow, TIF 9 Block 28, 2025 Street Improvements and
the Permanent Fund, which are not budgeted. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end.

City of Hastings
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
NOTE 2 –STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY (CONTINUED)
A.Budgetary Information (Continued)
On or before mid-June of each year, all departments and agencies of the City submit requests for
appropriations to the City Administrator so that a budget may be prepared. Before September 15th,
the proposed budget is presented to the City Council for review and approval. By September 15th,
the proposed budget and tax levy must be submitted to the county auditor. The Council holds public
hearings,and a final budget and tax levy must be prepared, adopted,and submitted to the county
auditor, no later than December 28th.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund and department. The City's department heads may
request transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers of appropriations between
departments require the approval of the Council. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e.,the level
at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is at the department level. The Council
made several supplementary budgetary appropriations for the general fund and various special
revenue funds in 2024. Several of the budgets changed in total as a result of the Council-approved
appropriations.
B.Deficit Fund Equity
The Downtown Redevelopment TIF had a deficit of $1,684,526. The TIF 9 Block 28 had a deficit of
$60,030.The Capital Projects Fund had a deficit of $66,411. These fund's deficits are expected to be
covered from future tax increment revenues. The Compensated Absences internal service fund had a
deficit of $1,483,043. The Retiree health insurance internal service fund had a deficit of $2,091,224.
The G.O. Improvement Bonds 2013B had a fund deficit of $379. These funds’deficits are expected to
be covered from future transfers in from other funds.
NOTE 3 –DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
A.Deposits
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, the City maintains deposits at those depository banks
authorized by the City Council, 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% of the deposits not covered by insurance or
bonds.Minnesota Statutes require that securities pledged as collateral be held in safekeeping by the
City Treasurer or in a financial institution other than that furnishing the collateral. As of
December 31, 2024, the City was not exposed to custodial credit risk because deposits were fully
insured and collateralized. As of December 31, 2024, the City has the following deposits:

Interest Rate Risk –The City's investment policy requires the City to diversify its investment portfolio
to eliminate the risk of loss resulting from over concentration of assets in a specific maturity. The
policy also states that investments should be purchased to match expected cash flow needs,
minimizing the market risk associated with the early sale of investments.
Credit Risk –The City's investment policy is silent with regards to credit risk. Investments are rated
as noted above.
Concentration of Credit Risk –The City's investments in PGIM Total Return Bond, Ishares Core,Ishares
Core MSCI Emerging Markets,and Ishares Core US Aggregate Bond exceeds 5% of the City's nonpooled
investment portfolio.
Custodial Credit Risk –This is the risk that in the event of a failure of the counterparty, the City will
not be able to recover the value of its investment securities that are in possession of an outside
party. Investments in investment pools and money markets are not evidenced by securities that exist

NOTE 8 –RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of,damage to, and the destruction
of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees and natural disasters. The City participates in
the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT), a public entity risk pool for its general
property and casualty, workers'compensation, and other miscellaneous insurance coverage. The
LMCIT operates as a common risk management and insurance program for approximately 1,200
members. The city pays an annual premium to the LMCIT for insurance coverage. The LMCIT
agreement provides that the Trust will be self-sustaining through member premiums and will reinsure
through commercial companies for claims in excess of certain limits. The major reinsurance points
are generally $1,000,000 per occurrence for property loss or damage and $500,000 per occurrence
for workers'compensation. The City also carries commercial insurance for certain other risks of loss,
including employee health insurance. Settled claims resulting from these risks have not exceeded
commercial insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years. There were no significant
reductions in insurance from the prior year.
NOTE 9 –PENSION PLANS
The City participates in various pension plans. Total pension expense for the year ended
December 31, 2024, was $1,388,107, the discretely presented component unit's portion of this

related to pensions.
Public Employees'Retirement Association
A.Plan Description
The City of Hastings participates in the following cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit
pension plans administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA).
PERA's defined benefit pension plans are established and administered in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes Chapters 353, 353D, 353E, 353G, and 356. Minnesota Statutes Chapter 356 defines each
plan's financial reporting requirements. PERA's defined benefit pension plans are tax qualified plans
under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
General Employees Retirement Plan
Membership in the General Plan includes employees of counties, cities, townships, schools in non-
certified positions, and other governmental entities whose revenues are derived from taxation, fees,
or assessments. Plan membership is required for any employee who is expected to earn more than
$425 in a month, unless the employee meets exclusion criteria.
Public Employees Police and Fire Plan
Membership in the Police and Fire Plan includes full-time, licensed police officers and firefighters
who meet the membership criteria defined in Minnesota Statutes § 353.64 and who are not earning
service credit in any other PERA retirement plan or a local relief association for the same service.

B.Benefits Provided
PERA provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are established by state
statute and can only be modified by the state Legislature. 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.When a member is vested, they have earned enough
service credit to receive a lifetime monthly benefit after leaving public service and reaching an
eligible retirement age. Members who retire at or over their Social Security full retirement age with
at least one year of service qualify for a retirement benefit.
General Employees Plan Benefits
General Employees Plan requires three years of service to vest. Benefits are based on a member's
highest average salary for any 5 successive years of allowable service, age, and years of credit at
termination of service. Two methods are used to compute benefits for General Plan members.
Members hired prior to July 1, 1989, receive the higher of Step or Level formulas. Only the Level
formula is used for members hired after June 30, 1989. Under the Step formula, General Plan
members receive 1.2% of the highest average salary for each of the first 10 years of service and 1.7%
for each additional year. Under the Level formula, General Plan members receive 1.7% of the highest
average salary for all years of service. For members hired prior to July 1, 1989, a full retirement
benefit is available when age plus years of service equal 90 and normal retirement age is 65.
Members can receive a reduced requirement benefit as early as age 55 if they have three or more
years of service. Early retirement benefits are reduced by .25% for each month under age 65.
Members with 30 or more years of service can retire at any age with a reduction of .25% for each
month the member is younger than age 62. The Level formula allows General Plan members to
receive a full retirement benefit at age 65 if they were first hired before July 1, 1989 or a age 66 if
they were hired on or after July 1, 1989. Early retirement begins at age 55 with an actuarial
reduction applied to the benefit.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. The postretirement increase is
equal to 50% of the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) announced by the SSA, with a minimum increase
of at least 1% and a maximum of 1.5%. The 2024 annual increase was 1.5%. Recipients that have been
receiving the annuity or benefit for at least a full year as of the June 30 before the effective date of
the increase will receive the full increase. Recipients receiving the annuity or benefit for at least one
month but less than a full year as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase will
receive a reduced prorated increase. In 2023, legislation repealed the statute delaying increases for
members retiring before full retirement age.

Police and Fire Plan Benefits
Benefits for the Police and Fire Plan members hired before July 1, 2010, are vested after three years
of service. Members hired on or after July 1, 2010, are 50% vested after five years of service and
100% vested after 10 years. After five years, vesting increase by 10% each full year of service until
members are 100% vested after 10 years. Police and Fire Plan members receive 3% of highest average
salary for all years of service. Police and Fire Plan members receive a full retirement benefit when
they are 55 and vested, or when their age plus their years of service equals 90 or greater if they
were first hired before July 1, 1989. Early retirement starts at age 50, and early retirement benefits
are reduced by 0.417% each month members are younger than age 55.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. The postretirement increase is
fixed at 1%. Recipients that have been receiving the annuity or benefit for at least 36 months as of
the June 30 before the effective date of the increase will receive the full increase. Recipients
receiving the annuity or benefit for at least 25 months but less than 36 months as of the June 30
before the effective date of the increase will receive a reduced prorated increase.

E.Long-Term Expected Return on Investment
The State Board of Investment, which manages the investments of PERA, prepares an analysis of the
reasonableness on a regular basis of the long-term expected rate of return 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:
Domestic equity 33.5 %5.10 %

F.Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2024, actuarial valuation was determined using an
individual entry-age normal actuarial cost method. The long-term rate of return on pension plan
investments used in the determination of the total liability is 7.0%. This assumption is based on a
review of inflation and investments return assumptions from a number of national investment
consulting firms. The review provided a range of return investment return rates considered
reasonable by the actuary. An investment return of 7.0% is within that range.
Inflation is assumed to be 2.25% for the General Employees Plan and 2.25% for the Police and Fire
Plan. Benefit increases after retirement are assumed to be 1.25% for the General Employees Plan and
1% for the Police and Fire Plan.
Salary growth assumptions in the General Employees Plan range in annual increments from 10.25%
after one year of service to 3.0% after 27 years of service. In the Police and Fire Plan, salary growth
assumptions range from 11.75% after one year of service to 3.0% after 24 years of service.
Mortality rates for the General Employees Plan are based on the Pub-2010 General Employee
Mortality Table. Mortality rates for the Police and Fire Plan are based on the Pub-2010 Public Safety
Employee Mortality tables. The tables are adjusted slightly to fit PERA's experience.

F.Actuarial Methods and Assumptions (Continued)
Actuarial assumptions for the General Employees Plan are reviewed every four years. The General
Employees Plan was last reviewed in 2022. The assumption changes were adopted by the Board and
became effective with the July 1, 2023, actuarial valuation. The Police and Fire Plan was reviewed in
2024. PERA anticipates the experience study will be approved by the Legislative Commission on
Pensions and Retirement and become effective with the July 1, 2025 actuarial valuation.
The following changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions occurred in 2024:
General Employees Fund
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions
•Rates of merit and seniority were adjusted, resulting in slightly higher rates.
•Assumed rates of retirement were adjusted as follows: increase the rate of assumed
unreduced retirements, slight adjustments to Rule of 90 retirement rates, and slight
adjustments to early retirement rates for Tier 1 and Tier 2 members.
•Minor increase in assumed withdrawals for males and females.
•Lower rates of disability.
•Continued use of Pub-2010 general mortality table with slight rate adjustments as
recommended in the most recent experience study.
•Minor changes to form of payment assumptions for male and female retirees.
•Minor changes to assumptions made with respect to missing participant data.
Changes in Plan Provisions
•The workers'compensation offset for disability benefits was eliminated. The actuarial
equivalent factors updated to reflect the changes in assumptions.
Police and Fire Fund
Changes in Plan Provisions
•The State contribution of $9.0 million per year will continue until the earlier of 1) both the
Police and Fire Plan and the State Patrol Retirement Fund attain 90% funded status for three
consecutive years (on an actuarial value of assets basis) or 2) July 1, 2048. The contribution
was previously due to expire after attaining a 90% funded status for one year.
•The additional $9.0 million contribution will continue until the Police & Fire Plan is fully
funded for a minimum of three consecutive years on an actuarial value of assets basis, or July
1, 2048, whichever is earlier. This contribution was previously due to expire upon attainment
of fully funded status on an actuarial value of assets basis for one year (or July 1, 2048 if
earlier).

G.Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2024 was 7.0%. 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 positions of the General Employees and Police and Fire Plans were 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.

The City of Hastings Volunteer Fire Department participates in the Statewide Volunteer Firefighter
Retirement Plan (accounted for in the Volunteer Firefighter Fund), an agent multiple-employer lump-
sum or monthly defined benefit pension plan administered by the Public Employees Retirement
Association of Minnesota (PERA). The Volunteer Firefighter Plan covers volunteer firefighters of
municipal fire departments or independent nonprofit firefighting corporations that have elected to
join the plan. As of December 31, 2023, the plan covered active firefighters and vested terminated
firefighters whose pension benefits are deferred. The plan is established and administered in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353 G.
B. Benefits Provided
The Volunteer Firefighter Plan provides retirement, death, and supplemental benefits to covered
firefighters and survivors. Benefits are paid based on the number of years of service multiplied by a
benefit level approved by the City. Members are eligible for a lump-sum retirement benefit at 50
years of age with either five or ten years of service, depending on the vesting schedule selected.
Plan provisions include a pro-rated vesting schedule that increases from vesting schedule: (1) 5 years
at 40 percent through 20 years at 100 percent.
C. Contributions
The Volunteer Firefighter Plan is funded by fire state aid, investment earnings and, if necessary,
employer contributions as specified in Minnesota Statutes, and voluntary City contributions. The
State of Minnesota contributed $244,079 in fire state aid to the fund for the year ended December
31, 2023. Required employer contributions are calculated annually based on statutory provisions. The

actuarial cost method and the following actuarial assumptions:
•Retirement eligibility at the later of age 50 or when fully vested
•Investment rate of return of 6.0 percen

NOTE 9 –PENSION PLANS (CONTINUED)
F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was six percent. The projection of cash
flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions to the Volunteer Firefighter
Fund will be made at a rate equal to the actuarially determined contribution rate. Based on these
assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position 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.
G. Pension Liability Sensitivity
The following presents the City’s net pension asset for the Volunteer Firefighter Fund, calculated
using the assumed discount rate as well as what the City’s net pension asset would be if it were
calculated using a discount rate one percent lower or one percent higher than the current discount
rate:

H. Plan Investments
The Minnesota State Board of Investment (SBI) is established by Article XI of the Minnesota
Constitution to invest all state funds. Its membership as specified in the Constitution is comprised of
the governor (who is designated as chair of the board), state auditor, secretary of state and state
attorney general.
All investments undertaken by the SBI are governed by the prudent person rule and other standards
codified in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 11A and Chapter 353G.
Within the requirements defined by state law, the SBI, with assistance of the SBI staff and the
Investment Advisory Council, establishes investment policy for all funds under its control. These
investments policies are tailored to the particular needs of each fund and specify investment
objectives, risk tolerance, asset allocation, investment management structure and specific
performance standards. Studies guide the on-going management of the funds and are updated
periodically.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
I.Asset Allocation
To match the long-term nature of the pension obligations, the SBI maintains a strategic asset
allocation for the Volunteer Firefighter Plan that includes allocations to domestic equity,
international equity, bonds and cash equivalents. The long-term target asset allocation and long-
term expected real rate of return is the following:
Domestic stocks 35.0 %5.10 %
International stocks 15.0 5.30
Bonds 45.0 0.75
Unallocated cash 5.0 0.00
Total 100.0 %
Asset Class
Target
Alloocation
Long-Term
Expected Real
Rate of Return
The 6%long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a
building-block method. Best estimates for expected future real rates of return (expected returns,
net of inflation) were developed for each asset class using both long-term historical returns and long-
term capital market expectations from a number of investment management and consulting
organizations. The asset class estimates and the target allocations were then combined to produce a
geometric, long-term expected real rate of return for the portfolio. Inflation expectations were
applied to derive the nominal rate of return for the portfolio.
J. Description of significant investment policy changes during the year
The SBI made no significant changes to their investment policy during calendar year 2023 for the
Volunteer Firefighter Fund.
K. Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position
Detailed information about the Volunteer Firefighter Fund’s fiduciary net position as of June 30,
2023, is available in a separately-issued PERA financial report that includes financial statements and
required supplementary information. That report may be obtained at www.mnpera.org .
NOTE 10 -RETIREE HEALTH INSURANCE
A.Plan Description
The City provides a single employer defined benefit OPEB dependent health care plan to retirees
after (ten)years of service, that were hired prior to 1993. The benefit commences upon retirement
or age 55 (whichever is later) and terminates after ten years or upon reaching Medicare age,
whichever comes first. The expenditures for this benefit are accounted for within the internal
service fund.The Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB)plan is administered by the City. The
authority to provide these benefits is established in Minnesota Statutes §471.61 Subd. 2a, and
299A.465. The benefits, benefit levels, employee contributions and employer contributions are
governed by the City and can be amended by the City through its personnel manual and collective
bargaining agreements with employee groups. The Plan is not accounted for as a trust fund,and no
funds are accumulated in a trust as a trust fund has not been established to account for the plan.
The Plan does not issue a separate report.

NOTE 10 -RETIREE HEALTH INSURANCE (CONTINUED)
B.Benefits Provided
1.Retirees
In addition to the benefits described above, The City is required by State Statute to allow
retirees to continue participation in the City's group health insurance plan if the individual
terminates service with the City through service retirement or disability retirement. Eligibility for
continuing group health and dental insurance for City retirees is defined as follows:
a.Retirees who are at least 55 years of age and are PERA Basic, PERA Coordinated, or PERA
Defined Contribution eligible; or
b.Retirees who are members of the PERA Police and Fire Fund who are at least 50 years of
age and are PERA Police and Fire Pension eligible; or
c.Former employees approved for disability retirement by PERA.
Employees may obtain spouse coverage at retirement or add spouse coverage at the beginning of
an enrollment year. Covered spouses may continue coverage after the retiree's death.
All health care coverage is provided through the City's group health insurance plans. The retiree
is required to pay 100% of their premium cost for the City-sponsored group health insurance plan
in which they participate. The premium is a blended rate determined on the entire active and
retiree population. Since the projected claims costs for retirees exceed the blended premium
paid by retirees, the retirees are receiving an implicit rate subsidy (benefit). The coverage levels
are the same as those afforded to active employees. Retirees and spouses are eligible to remain
in the City-sponsored group health insurance plan until death or the obtainment of Medicare,
provided the applicable premiums are paid.
2.Disabled Police and Firefighter
In accordance with Minnesota Statute § 299A.465, the City is responsible to continue payment of
the City's contribution toward health coverage for police officers or the firefighters disabled in
the line of duty; or a surviving spouse and/or dependents of a police officer or the firefighters
killed in the line of duty. The contribution continues until the police officer, firefighters or
surviving spouse reaches age 65 or the dependent is no longer eligible under the contract.
C.Contributions
Contribution requirements are established by the City. The required contributions are based on
projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements. For year 2024, the City contributed $493,093 to the
plan, of this amount the discretely presented component unit was allocated $9,140. As of
December 31, 2024, there were 27 retirees receiving health benefits from the City's health plan.

as liabilities in the funds.
