Minneapolis, City of General Agency Reserve State of Minnesota Julie Blaha State Auditor ________________________________________________________________________ City of Minneapolis General Agency Reserve Fund System Minneapolis, Minnesota Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 Description of the Office of the State Auditor The mission of the Office of the State Auditor is to oversee local government finances for Minnesota taxpayers by helping to ensure financial integrity and accountability in local governmental financial activities. Through financial, compliance, and special audits, the State Auditor oversees and ensures that local government funds are used for the purposes intended by law and that local governments hold themselves to the highest standards of financial accountability. The State Auditor performs approximately 100 financial and compliance audits per year and has oversight responsibilities for over 3,300 local units of government throughout the state. The office currently maintains five divisions: Audit Practice – conducts financial and legal compliance audits of local governments; Government Information – collects and analyzes financial information for cities, towns, counties, and special districts; Legal/Special Investigations – provides legal analysis and counsel to the Office and responds to outside inquiries about Minnesota local government law; as well as investigates allegations of misfeasance, malfeasance, and nonfeasance in local government; Pension – monitors investment, financial, and actuarial reporting for Minnesota’s local public pension funds; and Tax Increment Financing – promotes compliance and accountability in local governments’ use of tax increment financing through financial and compliance audits. The State Auditor serves on the State Executive Council, State Board of Investment, Land Exchange Board, Public Employees Retirement Association Board, Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, and the Rural Finance Authority Board.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes 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. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City of Minneapolis’ preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City of Minneapolis General Agency Reserve Fund System as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the changes in its financial position and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Emphasis of Matter As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the financial statements present only the General Agency Reserve Fund System and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City of Minneapolis as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, or the changes in financial position or cash flows of the City’s proprietary funds for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, 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. /s/Julie Blaha /s/Dianne Syverson JULIE BLAHA DIANNE SYVERSON, CPA STATE AUDITOR DEPUTY STATE AUDITOR April 28, 2021 Page 3 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS GENERAL AGENCY RESERVE FUND SYSTEM MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 (Unaudited) This section of the General Agency Reserve Fund System’s (GARFS) annual financial report presents our Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) of GARFS’ financial performance during the periods ended on December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019.

It's my understanding that would result in the new staff being hired on one-year temporary contracts and being ineligible for vacation or paid time off. That isn't compatible with building a sustainable public safety and wellness program, and it doesn't reflect the fair hiring practices that our city should provide all its employees, let alone those in positions as critical and demanding as this. I urge you to reconsider and support the original Safety for All plan points 1 and 2, as proposed by CMs Bender, Fletcher, and Cunningham. Thank you, Erika von Kampen 4519 Bryant Ave S, Apt 2 (Ward 13) Minneapolis, MN 55419 From: Chantra Hok To: Council Comment Subject: [EXTERNAL] #203 City Council Meeting 12-9-20 Date: Wednesday, December 9, 2020 7:41:10 PM Good evening, Here is the rest of my message from today's city council meeting: My name is Chantra Hok.
