Subject: 3700 Chaska Blvd – Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
Applicant: Precision Yard Services (PYS)
Location: 3700 Chaska Boulevard
Case No.: 2026-14
Synopsis: Applicant seeks to obtain approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for open
storage area that exceeds a 2:1 land to building ratio for a landscape contracting
company
Prepared By: Elizabeth Hanson
Staff Recommendation: Motion to adopt resolution
BACKGROUND
The following exhibit below is intended to show the general site area and adjoining uses:
Figure 1: Existing Site & Adjoining Uses
Page 9 of 436Previous Approvals
The existing building (fka 850 Chaska Boulevard) was constructed in 1972 and was occupied by
Carver County Public Works. Carver County Public Works used the building for outdoor material
and truck and trailer storage related to road maintenance. See Aerials 2005, 2008, & 2011 in
Figure 2 for historic aerials of the site when Carver County occupied the building.
In 2017, the site was approved for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a brewery/taproom.
The brewery, Schramhaus (“Schram”), occupied the building until December 2025. Under the
brewery operations, the site was used for parking, storage of items, and events. City utilities
were also extended to the site. See Aerial 2024 in Figure 2 when Schram occupied the building.
Figure 2: Historic Aerials of 3700 Chaska Boulevard
Page 10 of 436CURRENT PROPOSAL
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit (CUP) for open storage/display area that
totals 75,000 square feet and exceeds a 2:1 land to building ratio for a landscape contracting
company, Precision Yard Services (PYS). The following is intended to summarize the applicant’s
request and staff’s analysis:
• Precision Yard Services (“PYS”)
PYS, is a family-owned lawn & landscaping company currently located in Jordan,
Minnesota – see Figure 3 below. The company provides lawn care and landscaping
services for both residential and commercial properties around southwest Minnesota. As
their business has grown and as their customer geographic area has solidified, PYS was
looking for a location in Chaska. A seven-year lease for the property has been signed
and begins July 1, 2026. PYS typical hours of operation are M-F 7am-7pm and 8am-
2pm on Saturdays. They do not have customers or retail sales.
Figure 3: Existing PYS in Jordan
• Existing Conditions
The existing lot is approximately 4.3 acres in size with an existing vacant building
totaling approximately 7,200 square feet. Access to the site is gained off one driveway
coming from Chaska Boulevard. There is no vehicular connection to the industrial
properties to the north. The site is
currently connected to sewer or water.
• Comprehensive Plan.
The comprehensive plan guides the site
as High Density Residential, which
conflicts with the current zoning (I-2).
The property owner has stated they are
committed to the goal of abiding to the
future use for the property.
Redevelopment of the site into High
Density Residential would likely need the Figure 4: 2040 Comprehensive Plan
collaboration of the other northern
properties in order to create efficient and improved access to the overall site. The
proposed use will allow continued use of the building and site without large capital
improvements, which would prolong redevelopment.
Page 11 of 436• Land Use
The property is currently zoned restricted industrial (I-2). The proposed use meets the
permitted uses in the zoning district, however, the amount of open storage exceeds a
2:1 land to building ratio which requires a CUP. Based on the size of the building
footprint (7,200 square feet) the property is permitted up to 14,400 square feet of open
storage. Open storage exceeding 14,400 square footage requires a CUP.
• Parking/Circulation
Parking will be provided and re-striped on site to accommodate 40 cars. The user
proposes to have 20 employees and no customer traffic. In terms of the parking count,
it appears that 40 stalls are an adequate amount of stalls to accommodate the use
based on employees and these parking requirements:
Uses Approx. Size Code Req. Est. Parking Req.
Landscape 7,200 sf 1ps/350sf 21 parking spaces
yard
(Industrial)
REQUIRED 21 parking spaces
PROVIDED 40 parking spaces
Figure 5: Proposed Parking Plan
• Open Storage
The user, PYS, proposes approximately 75,000 square feet of open (outdoor) storage on
the north side of the site. The open storage area consists of ~15 trucks and trailers,
small equipment and attachments, ~10 shipping and roll-off containers, inventory
Page 12 of 436storage, equipment loaders and skids, 4 hoop structures, and salt brine tanks and mixer.
The tallest items would be approximately 12 feet tall. The salt storage will be contained
and on impervious surface. The rest of the area is a mix of asphalt, concrete and sandy
gravel. The applicant states the grassy and dirt areas will not be used for storage. This
area will not be fenced in, but the equipment will be locked and security cameras will be
put in place. See Figure 6 below.
Figure 6: Proposed Open Storage
Page 13 of 436• Screening
The property sits roughly 30 feet higher than Chaska Boulevard. Because of this height
comparison, viewsheds into the site are minimal from Chaska Blvd. The applicant has
provided a few viewshed analyses – see Figures 7-9. The applicant has noted one area
of enhancement – see yellow circles in Figure 8. They propose to plant 7 black hill
spruce in that area – see Figure 10. Staff would also advise the addition of 8-10 black
hill spruce in the area denoted in red in Figure 10. This area will have storage closer
than where the former accessory building was on site so additional screening will be
needed – see Figure 9.

Figure 8: Viewshed Analyses – Part II
Page 15 of 436
Figure 9: Viewshed Analyses – Part III
Figure 10: Proposed Screening & Additional Screening Needed
• Utilities
The site is currently connected to city utilities.
• Grading/Drainage
No grading or improvements are proposed. The natural drainage patterns will continue.
Page 16 of 436CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
The applicant will be required to apply for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in order to have open
storage that exceeds a 2:1 building to land ratio.
A Conditional Use Permit may be granted by the City Council after demonstration by evidence
that:
a) The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will not be detrimental
to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort or general welfare.
• The proposed special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health,
safety, comfort or general welfare. The additional outdoor storage area,
maintenance and operation of PYC will not be detrimental to or endanger the
public health, safety, comfort, or general welfare of the public or the neighbors.
The neighbors are in the same zoning district and are businesses operating in a
similar manner, including outdoor storage.
b) The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the
immediate vicinity for the purpose already permitted, nor substantially diminish and
impair property values within the neighborhood.
• The proposed special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other
property in the immediate vicinity for the purpose already permitted, nor
substantially diminish and impair property values. The additional outdoor storage
area will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the
immediate vicinity and will not substantially diminish or impair property values
within the area. As noted above, the outdoor storage is no different than the
outdoor storage on the properties immediately north. Sight lines of the use will be
at a minimum due to the topography between other properties. The applicant is
proposing additional landscaping to screen the use from public view in areas that
do not naturally provide screening by way of topography. There is also no
abnormally high noise generated by PYS’s use.
c) The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly
development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the
district.
• The proposed special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and
improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. The
nearest adjacent properties are industrial uses with outdoor storage and the
proposed use should fit in well. The use will have its own entrance off of Chaska
Boulevard and will not impede normal traffic movements for the other uses
surrounding it.
d) Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and necessary facilities have been or will be
provided.
• Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and necessary facilities have been or
will be provided. The site is currently connected to City sewer and water. The
proposal is not planning to create any new access, drainage patterns or impervious
surfaces; they will use what is existing.
Page 17 of 436 e) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress or egress so designed
as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets.
• The access road into the site will be maintained, which provides for two-way traffic
movements. The site is a stand-alone site in terms of ingress/egress and thus
should not impact other uses/sites from traffic generated. The amount, frequency,
and type of traffic generated at this site will be reduced relative to previous uses of
the location. This will no longer be a taproom use, which was more retail in
nature. PYS typical hours of operation are M-F 7am-7pm and 8am-2pm on
Saturdays. They do not have customers or retail sales which add to frequency of
traffic in and out of the site. PYS uses smaller to mid-sized trucks and trailers, a
reduction in size to the County use of large dump truck and semi-truck use.
f) The special use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the
district in which it is located.
• The special use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of
the district in which it is located. The Restricted Industrial (I-2) district is intended
to provide for industrial uses with open storage. The use will be consistent with
the intention of this zoning district.
It appears that the applicant is meeting the intention of the zoning district that they are in, as
well as the standards set forth for a Conditional Use Permit.

RE: UPDATED BASED ON STAFF REVIEW FROM JUNE 16, 2026
3700 Chaska Blvd, Special Use Permit (SUP), Precision Yard Services, Additional
Outdoor Storage
Dear Elizabeth,
Introduction: With the recent closure of Schram Brewery (“Schram”) and termination of their
lease, we listed the property at 3700 Chaska Blvd for lease in search of a company that could
utilize the property in generally as-is condition, and that would fit within the underlying I-2
zoning. Precision Yard Services (“PYS”), is a family-owned lawn & landscaping company currently
located in Jordan Minnesota. As their business has grown and as their customer geographic
area has solidified, PYS was looking for a location in Chaska. A seven-year lease for the property
has been signed and begins July 1, 2026. Under the existing zoning, outdoor storage is
permitted, but when the ratios are applied, only about 20,000 sf of outdoor area is granted
under zoning. We are applying for a Special Use Permit (SUP) to increase the outdoor storage
area to approximately 75,000 sf, an increase of approximately 55,000 sf over what is currently
permitted. All other components and requirements of I-2 zoning accommodate the uses of PYS.
This request aligns with how the property was constructed and historically used for many years
prior to Schram Brewery’s Conditional Use Permit (CUP), but time has lapsed, and renewed
approval is required. Schram used this area for a combination of outdoor storage, event space
and overflow parking.
Background: Many of the Chaska community know the building as home to Schram Brewery.
We purchased the building in 2017 with the brewery as the proposed use and went through a
CUP process to include a brewery / taproom on a site that was otherwise zoned I-2. During this
period, the site hosted many events in addition to brewing and general taproom experiences.

The entire site was used for parking, storage of items related to the Schram business, and
events. We worked with the City of Chaska to bring new electric service, water and sewer into
the site for the enhanced use. For various reasons related to the micro-brewery industry as a
whole, demand for the product and taproom experience has declined, and many breweries have
had to close their doors.
Prior to Schram, Carver County Public Works used the building for outdoor material and truck
storage related to road maintenance. The County used the entire outdoor area for trucks,
trailers, and equipment storage year-round. We have submitted some historical aerials which
depict this prior use. The Carver County use fit within the underlying I-2 zoning, but we do not
believe that a SUP was ever required due to the start date and grandfathering of the use which
dates back many years. County records show that the building was built in 1972. Structurally
and aesthetically, the building is in good condition. The taproom space lends itself well as use as
a modern office environment with excellent natural lighting. The use of the brewery side of the
building will continue to align with traditional I-2 uses.
Special Use Permit: Although existing zoning of the property does permit for operation of the
PYS business, it does not permit for the amount of outdoor storage that is needed by the new
tenant, which is consistent with what the site has traditionally housed in the past. A Special Use
Permit will be required for the proposed 75,000 sf of outdoor storage required to make the
location successful for PYS.
The height of outdoor storage items would be reduced relative to prior County height uses. The
County uses included material piles and salt storage shed heights that exceeded 25’ in height.
The PYS outdoor use would be reduced to about half of that total height, or approximately 12’.
The County and Schram did a very good job of adding landscaping to soften the edge of the site
as well as screen outdoor use from the public. When we conducted our viewshed analysis for
additional opportunities to add landscaping as a permanent screening tool, we found one area
that should be enhanced. This area is identified in the previously submitted exhibits. As you
move further east on Chaska Blvd., the topography steepens and increases, providing for
virtually no physical view of the building or outdoor storage.
The amount, frequency, and type of traffic generated at this site will be reduced relative to
previous uses of the location. This will no longer be a taproom use, which was more retail in
nature. PYS typical hours of operation are M-F 7am-7pm and 8am-2pm on Saturdays. They do
not have customers or retail sales which add to frequency of traffic in and out of the site. PYS
uses smaller to mid-sized trucks and trailers, a reduction in size to the County use of large dump
truck and semi-truck use. Pictures of typical truck, trailer and storage configurations from their
current Jordan location have been included with this updated documentation. PYS currently
employs approximately 20 full-time and part-time employees. Parking for these employees will
2
Page 23 of 436
651.287.8888
mspcommercial.com
Richfield, MN 55423
be on the south side of the building as shown on the previously submitted exhibit. Parking lot
paint will be restriped with approval.
There are no major capital improvement projects associated with PYS’s use of the site, so no
construction period will be required. The goal, again, is to make minimal improvements to the
property, and to keep maintaining and repairing the building and grounds in a professional
manner.
Standards For Granting Conditional Use Permits: There are six standards for granting CUPs.
Our proposed increase to outdoor storage meets these standards, as detailed below.
1. The additional outdoor storage area, maintenance and operation of PYC will not be
detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, or general welfare of
the public or our neighbors. Our neighbors are like-kind businesses operating in a
similar manner, including outdoor storage.
2. As detailed in this narrative, the additional outdoor storage area will not be injurious
to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity and will not
substantially diminish or impair property values within the area. There is also no
abnormally high noise generated by PYS’s use. In addition, we are proposing
additional landscaping to screen the use from public view in areas that do not
naturally provide screening by way of topography.
3. The establishment of the additional outdoor storage area will not impede the
normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for
uses permitted in the district, which are I-2 to our north and low density residential
to our west. In addition, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan is addressed in our narrative.
4. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities are in place for our
proposed additional outdoor storage. The proposed area already exists from prior
approved uses of the property. Utility upgrades were installed with the Schram CUP.
5. Adequate ingress and egress is currently in use and has been used by prior I-2 users
in the past, as well as the more recent brewery / taproom use.
6. The additional storage area, shall in all other respects, conform to the applicable
regulations of the district in which it is located.
Comprehensive Plan: The 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides this area to be High Density
Residential, which conflicts with the current zoning I-2. We fully agree that the future of our
property and the neighboring properties to our north should be designated as High Density
Residential. We are committed to continued ownership of the property with the goal of abiding
to that plan for future use. The surrounding properties will need to collaboratively redevelop
and the timing of this redevelopment hinges on many aspects including future enhanced access,
a willingness of the three neighboring owners, and favorable market conditions for a robust
3
Page 24 of 436
651.287.8888
mspcommercial.com
Richfield, MN 55423
increase in demand for multi-family housing of this size. The best way for us to be in a position
for future redevelopment is to continue use of the building and site without large capital
improvements, which would prolong redevelopment.
Using this property as it has been historically used and similarly consistent with original
construction and subsequent remodels, is our best path forward.
Sincerely,
Alex Young

CHASKA CITY COUNCIL
July 20, 2026
Subject: SE Collector in SW Area – Savanna Way
Accepting Feasibility Report
Prepared By: Matt Clark, City Engineer
New developments, together with the SW community park, necessitate the next connection
outlined in the City’s comprehensive transportation plan for the SW Chaska collector road
network. The planned extension will link the existing Savanna Way roundabout at CSAH 44 (Big
Woods Boulevard) to CSAH 61 (Chaska Boulevard). To align with the timing of the Community
Park, High Point Vista additions, and the actively planned Pulte Development, construction is
scheduled to start later this year and finish in 2027.
The attached report examines both the feasibility and economic impact of building a new
collector roadway that stretches from County Road 44 (Big Woods Boulevard) southward to
CSAH 61 (Chaska Boulevard), just east of TH 212. Residential development is expanding at the
southern end of this area, with further growth anticipated—including a community park—at the
northern end. Trunk utility extensions have been designed within the roadway corridor to
accommodate ongoing and future development, and the report provides estimated costs for
these planned utilities.
Total project costs will be covered by a range of funding sources linked to area development.
These include utility area fees, utility connection charges, trunk utility funds, storm water area
fees, municipal state aid funds, and transportation assessments collected from nearby
developments. The improvements are set to be financed through bond proceeds, which will be
reimbursed by fees generated from development activities.
According to the report's schedule, construction is expected to begin later this fall, with the road
slated to be completed and open to traffic by summer 2027. The initial phase of approval
requires endorsing the feasibility study, which details overall costs for the proposed
improvements. Because the project involves transportation assessments for properties
benefiting from these upgrades, a public hearing is scheduled for August 31, 2026.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Adopt Resolution No. 2026-67, Approving the Feasibility Study, Authorizing Plans and
Specifications, and Scheduling the Public Improvement Hearing to be held on August 31st for the
SE Collector in SW Chaska

REQUEST FOR ACTION

Subject: Accepting Bids & Awarding a Contract for the 2026 Industrial Park
(Columbia Ct N) Watermain Replacement Project
Prepared By: Matt Clark, City Engineer
Public bids for the 2026 Industrial Park Watermain project were received by the city on July 15,
2026. The scope of this project encompasses the replacement of the watermain along Columbia
Ct N and an adjacent city alleyway serving part of the northern industrial park, which has
experienced an unusually high frequency of watermain failures leading to emergency outages
for local businesses.
A summary of submitted bids is attached for review. To expand the contractor bidding pool,
promote competitive pricing, and ensure timely completion this year, two pricing options for
contractors were provided. Both alternatives involve installing the watermain using trenchless
technology, which reduces project impact and maintains business accessibility during daily
operations.
Bituminous Roadways, Inc. submitted the lowest bid. Staff recommends awarding the contract
for Alternate 2 (horizontal directional drilling) at $591,225.00, as it minimizes installation risks
and improves maintenance, despite Alternate 1 being slightly less expensive. Further, that
Council authorize the City Administrator and City Engineer to execute a construction contract
with Bituminous Roadways, Inc., contingent upon review by the City Attorney. The proposed
schedule anticipates construction beginning in August, allowing completion within the current
season.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to adopt Resolution No. 2026-68 Authorize the City Administrator and City Engineer to
execute a construction contract with Bituminous Roadways Inc. for the 2026 Industrial Park
Watermain Project in the total bid amount of $591,225.00.

RE: Bid Results
Industrial Park Watermain Project
Project No.: 26X.142539

REQUEST FOR ACTION
CHASKA CITY COUNCIL
7/20/2026
Subject: 2025 Annual Financial Reports
Prepared By: Noel Graczyk, Administrative Services Director
Erica Mattice, Finance Division Director
Background
City staff has completed work with the City’s independent auditor on annual audits and financial
reports for both the City of Chaska and the Chaska Fire Department Relief Association (CFDRA)
as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Through a request for proposal process as completed in 2024, the City Council selected
CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP (CLA) to be the independent auditor commencing with the annual audit
of the 2024 calendar/fiscal year. Representing CLA at the meeting will be Mr. Christopher
Knopik, CPA, CPE, and Principal and Mr. Ezra Koetz, CPA, and Manager. Both Chris and Ezra
worked directly on the audit of the 2025 fiscal year. They will be available to review the
auditors’ reports as issued as well as any findings related to both the City of Chaska and the
CFDRA audits.
The following five enclosed reports relate to the completed audit for the City of Chaska:
1) City of Chaska - 2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR)
Included in the 2025 ACFR starting on page 11 is the Independent Auditors’ Report. This
report states that the financial statements “…present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position…of the City of Chaska, as of December 31, 2025,…” This is
considered an unmodified or “clean” audit report.
2) Independent Auditor’s Report of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting And On
Compliance and Other Matters Based On An Audit of Financial Statements Performed in
Accordance With Government Auditing Standards.
Governmental units that incur expenditures of more than $1,000,000 in Federal funding
in a fiscal year are required to have an independent auditor complete a Federal Single
Audit. Currently, work to complete the Federal Single Audit for Fiscal Year 2025
continues for submission that is required by September 2026. This is one of two reports
normally issued by the auditor each year. The auditors did not identify any deficiencies
in internal controls that they would consider to be a material weakness.
3) Independent Auditors’ Report On Minnesota Legal Compliance
This report addressed compliance with Minnesota State laws and Regulations and is the
second of two reports normally issued by the auditor each year when a Federal Single
Page 57 of 436 Audit is not required. The audit did not disclose any matters to be reported in
accordance with the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide.
4) City of Chaska - Required Communications
This report prepared by the auditors provides the City with the required communications
that address the role of the auditor as part of the audit. These communications also
include an overview of immaterial adjustments that in consultation with auditors were
not addressed by the City as part of the audit. These two uncorrected misstatements
were the result of a change in the level of materiality that was reduced in each of two
Project Funds from 2024 to 2025. These two items did not result in a disagreement
with the auditor that was not resolved to their satisfaction.
5) City of Chaska – 2025 Executive Audit Summary (EAS)
This report prepared by the auditors communicates in summary form information
relevant to the City’s financial operations and financial positions as well as insights
generated during the audit process. Included in this report is an overview of each the
operational funds included as part of the City’s annual budget.
The following four enclosed reports are related to the completed audit for the CFDRA:
1) CFDRA - 2025 Annual Financial Report (AFR).
The 2025 AFR for the CFDRA was prepared by Abdo Financial Services (AFS) as part of
accounting and reporting services under contract with AFS by the CFDRA. Included in
this AFR starting on page 6 is the Independent Auditor's Report. This report states that
the financial statements “…present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial
position…of the Chaska Fire Department Relief Association, as of December 31, 2025,
…” This is considered an unmodified or “clean” audit report.
2) CFDRA - 2025 Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Internal Controls)
The auditors identified two material weaknesses as reportable concerning internal
control procedures. The first addresses the lack of segregation of duties due to the small
size of the CFDRA staff. The second addresses the lack of complete receipt
documentation as part of fund-raising activities. These two comments are consistent
with comments from prior years and prior audits and have been accepted by the Office
of the State Auditor.
3) CFDRA - 2025 Significant Audit Findings or Issues
This report prepared by the auditors provides the CFDRA with the required
communications that addresses the role of the auditor as part of the audit. It also
discusses the audit findings and risks associated with a lack of segregation of duties as
part of the previous report on internal controls.
4) CFDRA – 2025 Minnesota Legal Compliance
One compliance finding (2025-001) was identified regarding the need to obtain and
submit an annual Statement of Economic Interest from each Trustee Board member.
Other than this one finding, this report on Compliance with Minnesota State Laws and
Regulations found the CFDRA complied with all material terms and conditions of
applicable legal provisions.
Page 58 of 436
In accordance with Minnesota State Statutes, the 2025 ACFR for the City of Chaska and all
associated reports issued by the auditor were submitted on June 30, 2026, to the Office of the
State Auditor (OSA). Also as required by State Statutes, a summary of the 2025 ACFR will be
published on July 26, 2026, in the Waconia Patriot, the City’s designated legal paper.
In compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requirements, the 2025
ACFR was submitted to EMMA (Electronic Municipal Market Access) as part of annual continuing
disclosure requirements by the City in accordance with reporting agreements for various
outstanding series of debt. The 2025 ACFR has also been provided to bond trustees, bond
rating agencies, bond insurance companies, various institutions holding City of Chaska debt,
and to other parties requesting detailed financial reports from the City.
The 2025 ACFR is avaible to the public on the City’s Web Site at www.chaskamn.gov and is also
available for public inspection at both Chaska City Hall and Chaska Library.
In accordance with State Statutes, the CFDRA has submitted the 2025 AFR and related audit
reports as issued by the auditors to the OSA. The annual required Fire Form submitted in
conjunction with the City has also been submitted to the OSA.
Recommendation
Adoption of the proposed motion is recommended by City staff.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to accept the 2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the City of

To the Citizens of the City of Chaska, Honorable Mayor and Council Members, and
Mr. Matt Podhradsky, City Administrator
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report of the City of Chaska, Minnesota, for the year ended December 31,
2025, is hereby submitted. The report was prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (GAAP) as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board and meets
the requirements of the Minnesota State Auditor’s Office.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City. Consequently,
management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the information presented in this
report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City has established a
comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the City’s assets from loss, theft, or
misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City’s financial statements in
conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City’s
comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable, rather than absolute
assurance that the 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’s financial statements have been audited by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA), a firm of licensed certified
public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial
statements of the City for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, are free of material misstatement. 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 significant estimates made by management; and
evaluating the overall financial presentation. Based upon the audit, the independent auditor concluded that there
was reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2025, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is
presented as the first item in the financial section of this report.
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 the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City of Chaska’s MD&A can
be found in the financial section of this report, immediately following the independent auditor’s report.

City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
City Profile
The City of Chaska was founded in 1851 and incorporated on March 3, 1891. The City is located in eastern Carver
County, with the Minnesota River bordering the City to the south. It encompasses 17.8 square miles and has an
estimated population of 31,105. The City operates under a Statutory Plan A form of government where
policymaking and legislative authorities are vested in the City Council. The City Council consists of a mayor and
four council members and is responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, and
appointing committees. The mayor is elected for a two-year term of office and four council members serve four-
year staggered terms, with two council members elected every two years. Non-partisan elections are held on the
Tuesday after the first Monday in November, of each even-numbered year.
The City Administrator is appointed by the City Council and also serves as the City Clerk. The City Administrator
is responsible for carrying out policies and ordinances of the City Council and overseeing daily operations of the
City. A City Attorney is retained and appointed by the Chaska City Council. The Administrative Services Director
serves as City Treasurer.
The City of Chaska provides a full range of services, including police and fire protection; building inspections;
construction and maintenance of highways, streets, and other infrastructure; recreational activities and cultural
events; and general administrative services. The City also operates nine enterprises: electric, water, sewer, and storm
water utilities, a community center, two golf courses, a turbine generator, along with a curling and event center.
The City is also financially accountable for the Chaska Economic Development Authority (EDA), which is included
in this report as a blended component unit. The Chaska City Council serves as the board of the EDA.
The primary focus of the City of Chaska is to enhance and maintain the high quality of life of its “shareholders”,
the citizens of Chaska. Consistent with this focus, the City will strive to maintain its unique historical small-town
image and sense of community while supporting well-planned, orderly growth. To achieve this focus, the City has
established six ongoing core strategies:
Enhance Chaska’s high quality of life
Plan orderly community development
Maintain a sense of community and small-town values
Assure that quality basic municipal services are provided
Maintain a commitment to excellence
Develop and maintain partnerships
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of Chaska’s financial planning and control. The objectives
of these budgetary controls are to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated
budget approved by the Chaska City Council. The activities of the General Fund and certain special revenue and
capital project funds are included in the annual appropriated budget. Debt service budgetary control is established
by bond sale resolution covenants. Project-length financial plans are adopted for capital project funds.
The level of budgetary control (that is, the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated
amount) is established at the fund level. Expenditures for departments or divisions that exceed appropriations are
not authorized unless additional revenue sources or fund balance are identified and available. Unused appropriated
expenditures lapse at year-end.

Letter of Transmittal
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
The City maintains stable financial operations due to a history of conservative budgeting, maintenance of healthy
reserves, and lack of reliance on state aid as a revenue source.
Economic Condition and Outlook
Since 2000, the City of Chaska has seen significant population growth and expects to continue growth through
2050.
Year Population* % Increase
2000 17,603
2010 23,770 35.0%
2020 27,810 17.0%
2024 29,830 7.3%
2025 Estimate 31,105 4.3%
2030 Projected 31,300 5.2%
2040 Projected 33,300 6.4%
2050 Projected 36,800 10.5%
*Source of Projected Population: Metropolitan Council
The increase in population between 2000 and 2010 is attributed to the addition of approximately 200 to 500 housing
units (both single family and multifamily units) per year from 2002 through 2005, as well as the addition of a
significant amount of commercial development in the community. This commercial development included both
small boutique stores and larger service centers such as Home Depot, Super Target, and Kohl’s.
Chaska saw the majority of its industrial development growth in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Nearly 8,000 jobs
were created, with now over 13,000 jobs in total in the community. The industrial park was near full capacity in the
1990s, with the exception of a few remaining sites. National and international companies such as Entegris, TEL-
FSI, Lake Region Manufacturing, and Beckman Coulter all offer several hundred jobs at each facility. Housing and
commercial development occurring after 2000 resulted directly from both a strong housing market and employment
opportunities available in Chaska.
As with other communities across the county, the City saw a drop in new housing development beginning in 2007.
The number of new single family home permits rebounded beginning in 2012. Between 2016 and 2025 the City
averaged 131 new single family permits annually.

Other development opportunities within the City include the following:
Industrial Parks
There are two existing industrial parks located within Chaska with a combined capacity of 679 acres. Currently
there are over one hundred enterprises occupying the parks, the largest of which include Lake Region
Manufacturing, TEL-FSI International Inc., Beckman Coulter, Bailiwick and Lifecore Biomedical. There are a few
remaining sites available within the industrial park.

City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Southwest Chaska Corporate and Industrial Development
The City has approximately 390 acres of corporate and industrial land that has started to develop along Highway
212. There is room for 5.5 million square feet of office and industrial space which will be marketed towards
bioscience and high-tech companies. When complete, it is expected to add between $300 and $500 million of
taxable market value as well as 4,000 to 6,000 quality jobs.
The first project in this new industrial area was United Health Group’s 250,000 square foot data center that began
operations in 2012. The second project was Stream Data’s 115,000 square foot data center that completed
construction in late 2014. The third project was the development of an approximately 100,000 square foot data
center facility for US Bank National Association completed in 2017.
Southwest Chaska Master Plan
Development of objectives outlined in the Southwest Chaska Master Plan began in 2017. The plan guides
development and land use for an undeveloped two square mile area in southwest Chaska along Highway 212. While
most of this area was originally determined to be residential, the new master plan allows for more corporate uses
and allows the residential development to be more consistent with market conditions.
The City received approval in late 2011 for the addition of an interchange off of U.S. Highway 212 at Carver County
Road 44. Substantial project completion occurred in 2020. This project enabled the City to expand industrial
development rapidly.
To support access to the southwest Chaska area, the City worked on extending Creek Road. Creek Road is a
connector to major development in Chaska that began in 2017. This $14.2 million dollar project is anticipated to
provide access to 5,000 new jobs in the area.
In 2021, the City began working on a joint State, County, and City cooperative project to reconstruct Minnesota
State Highway 41 and Carver County Road 61 through Chaska’s historic downtown area. This $31 million
reconstruction project took approximately 3 years to complete. The City, acting as the lead on the project, issued
$25.3 million of Temporary State Aid Street Bonds in 2022 to support project funding for the share of the project
not reimbursed to the City by the State of Minnesota Department of Transportation and Carver County. The City
issued permanent State Aid Street Bonds when the line of credit expired in 2024.
Tax Abatement
In order to encourage jobs, investment and essential services to Chaska, the City implemented a Business Incentive
Policy to assist developers with expansion projects and new development. Under this policy, the city provides tax
abatements for up to three times a new developer’s total property taxes. The City has entered into a number of tax
abatement agreements. The benefit to the City is development of underutilized properties, job creation, and
increased tax base in future years.
Long-Term Financial Planning
Each year the City develops a five-year financial forecast. The primary purpose of the forecast is to project available
revenues and anticipated expenditures for all operating funds supported by property tax levies. The forecast is also
used to establish the City’s maximum tax levy. In preparing the five-year forecast, every attempt is made to
accurately and conservatively estimate revenues and expenditures. The 2025 budget and five-year forecast were
both developed based on the following objectives:
5
Page 72 of 436
Letter of Transmittal
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
1. Support budget programs that help Chaska strengthen its mission of being “The Best Small Town in
Minnesota.”
2. Maintain existing high-quality service levels.
3. Limit tax levy growth to capture only new growth in the community and inflation. Only increasing levy
beyond this point if new service levels and/or assets are added.
4. Fully fund maintenance and replacement of vehicles, equipment, and physical assets on a regular schedule
to ensure sustainability of investments already made.
5. Fund new programs only after existing, necessary programs are funded.
6. Budget utilizing a plan that avoids draw-down of the City’s general fund reserves and builds these reserves
to a targeted level.
7. Fully fund levy needs of the Street Reconstruction Program.
8. Develop a budget plan that is sustainable from a resource perspective to support the service levels residents
expect.
Key factors which impact both the cost of providing services and the City’s revenue resources include changes in
Chaska’s population and households. The current 2025 – 2029 financial forecast strives to balance existing and
future service level demands within the forecasted revenues while at the same time maintaining a low property tax
rate.
The City’s tax rate decreased after the Great Recession in 2008 – 2009 due to declines in market value. Market
values have recovered allowing the City to implement a capital asset maintenance program while keeping property
tax rates relatively constant. The tax rate is 38.9 percent in 2025.

In 2018, the City updated its Comprehensive Plan, which is a requirement from the Metropolitan Council to make
local plans consistent with its updated Regional Development Framework. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides
the direction of the City in several major areas: land use, transportation, environment, parks and trails, and public
facilities. Each of these areas is examined in a comprehensive manner, in order to take advantage of opportunities,
avoid problems, and work toward building a stronger community.
Major Initiatives
One of the City’s main initiatives has been the development and implementation of its Downtown Master Plan.
Chaska has a historic downtown, with several commercial buildings and homes over 100 years old. A major focus
6
Page 73 of 436
Letter of Transmittal
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
of this initiative is to define how the City, businesses, and residents reinvest back into this unique area, to make it
economically viable in the future. The City continues its multi-year program to reconstruct streets in the historic
downtown core. This reconstruction has reinvigorated the coordination and planning efforts for the transformation
of another downtown block, which will be called City Square West.
Another major initiative for the City is the continuing capital asset maintenance plan. Key to this plan is $1 million
of levy annually dedicated to reinvesting in parks, streets, and trails.
The City also views its building program as a major initiative. In 2023, the City started increasing the tax levy by
$1,125,000 to fund renovation of four City Facilities. The first is a Public Safety facility where the Police and Fire
departments will be located. Construction of this building began in 2024. The next building is the Municipal Service
Building where Public works, Electric, Water, and Sewer personnel and services are located. After that, the Library
will be relocated from City Hall to a new building. The last building to be renovated will be City Hall. 2025 brought
forth the third year that the tax levy was increased to fund replacement of these buildings.
Certificate of Achievement
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 Chaska for its Annual Comprehensive Financial
Report for fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national award recognizing conformance with the highest standards
for preparation of state and local government financial reports. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement,
a government unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized Annual Comprehensive Financial
Report must satisfy both the generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. The City of Chaska has received a Certificate
of Achievement every year since 1989. We believe our current reporting continues to conform to the Certificate of
Achievement program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA.
Acknowledgements
The preparation of this report was made possible by the dedicated service of the City staff, and in particular,
members of the Administrative Services Department. Special recognition goes to Lisa Nelson, Controller. Her
contributions were essential in the preparation and production of this report.
We would like to express appreciation to Matt Podhradsky, the City Administrator, and to the Honorable Mayor
and Chaska City Council members for their interest and support in planning and conducting the financial operations
of the City.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Board of Directors
City of Chaska
Chaska, Minnesota
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Chaska, as of and for the
year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the City of Chaska’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Chaska, as of
December 31, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows
thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the General 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 Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City of Chaska 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.
Emphasis of Matter – Restatements
We draw attention to Note 17 of the financial statements, which describes the City’s restatement to
correct an error in prior year financial statements. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this
matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
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.
CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen LLP) is an independent network member of CLA Global. See CLAglobal.com/disclaimer.
11
Page 78 of 436 Board of Directors
City of Chaska
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 the City of Chaska’s 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.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 Chaska’s 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 Chaska’s 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 and the pension and OPEB schedules 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 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 GAAS, 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.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Chaska’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual
nonmajor fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are 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 GAAS. In our opinion, the combining
and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules are 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 report. The other
information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial
statements and our auditors’ 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.

City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
As management of the City of Chaska (the City), we offer readers of the City’s financial statements this narrative
overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the year ended December 31, 2025. We encourage
readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information we have furnished in
our letter of transmittal, published earlier in the report, and the City’s basic financial statements following this
section.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $299,068,577 (net position). Of that amount,
$36,721,505 is restricted for specific purposes (restricted net position) and $252,922,569 represents the net
investment in capital assets.
The City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $45,926,938. This is a decrease
of $34,133,149 from the prior year.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the General fund had a fund balance of $7,735,746. Although not
legally restricted, the City has committed $2,794,249 in fund balance, with $1,294,249 committed for
compensated absences and $1,500,000 for a stabilization arrangement. The City has assigned $480,638 in
fund balance for compensated absences. The City has $289,405 in non-spendable fund balance for prepaid
supplies and items, leaving $4,171,454 in unassigned fund balance.
Total bonds and premium payable decreased $8,725,259 during the year. At the end of the year, the City
reported $159,322,161 in bonds and premium payable.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements
comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes
to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic
financial statements themselves.
These financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary government), but also the Chaska
Economic Development Authority (EDA). The EDA has been presented as a blended component unit of the City’s
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Government-wide Financial Statements – The government-wide statements are designed to provide readers with
a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to private sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on the City’s assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows/outflows
of resources with the difference 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 is improving or deteriorating.
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
15

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
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 and earned, but
unused employee leave benefits).
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, Parks, Recreation and Arts, and
Economic Development. The business-type activities of the City include Electric, Water, Sewer, and Storm Water
utilities, along with the Community Center, The Loop at Chaska, Chaska Town Course, Turbine Generator, and
Curling Center operations.
Fund Financial Statements – A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is 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.
The City’s funds are reported in two categories: governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Governmental Funds – Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide
financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on the 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 financing 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 the 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
funds Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance provide a
reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains numerous individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental funds Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances
for the General Fund, Public Facilities Capital Improvement, and Public Improvement Projects Fund, which are
considered to be major funds. Data from the other 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 or schedules elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund, Mount Pleasant Maintenance & Care Fund,
Chaska EDA Fund, Local Affordable Housing Aid Fund, and Equipment Acquisition Fund. Budgetary
comparison statements have been provided for these funds to demonstrate compliance with the budget.
Proprietary Funds – The City 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 uses enterprise funds to account for its Electric, Water,
Sewer, and Storm Water utilities, along with the Community Center, The Loop at Chaska, Chaska Town
Course, Turbine Generator, and Curling Center operations.
16
Page 83 of 436 Management’s Discussion and Analysis
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Internal service funds are used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s various
functions. The City has one internal service fund that is used to account for the purchase of property,
liability, and worker’s compensation insurance. This internal service fund is included in the
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. The internal service fund is
presented in a single column in the proprietary funds financial statements.
Proprietary fund statements provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements,
only in more detail. Proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Electric, Water,
Sewer, Community Center, Turbine Generator, Storm Water, and Curling Center operations, all of which are
considered to be major funds of the City. Data from the non-major enterprise funds are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation.
Notes to the Financial Statements - The notes to the financial statements provide additional narrative and financial
information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial
statements.
Other Information - In addition to the basic financial statements, the financial section also presents required
supplementary information, and the combining and individual fund statements and schedules. These statements and
schedules are presented immediately following the notes to the financial statements.
A statistical section has been included to facilitate additional analysis and it is the final section of the report.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of the City’s financial position. For the City,
assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $299,068,577 at
the close of 2025.
By far, the largest portion of the City’s net position (84.6%) reflects its net investment in capital assets (e.g., land,
buildings, machinery, equipment, lease assets, subscription-based assets, and infrastructure), reduced by the
outstanding balance of any long-term debt used to acquire those assets and the outstanding balance of any capital
related payables, such as contracts and retainage payable. The City uses capital assets, including lease assets and
subscription assets, to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.
Although the City’s investment in its 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 capital assets themselves cannot be
used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the City’s net position represents resources that are subject to external restriction on how
they may be used. The amount of restricted net position is $36,721,505. After restrictions, the City is reporting an
unrestricted net position deficit of $9,424,503, an improvement of $10,782,284 from the prior year.

As a whole, the City had total revenues of $145,850,470, for the year ended December 31, 2025. This decreased
$11,837,158 from the prior year. This is due to a large reduction in capital grants and contributions from other
government entities for construction and various other capital projects.
The total cost of all programs and services was $118,394,157 which is $941,576 lower than the prior year. The
City’s expenses are predominantly related to providing services such as police, fire, building inspections, street
maintenance, snow removal, purchasing power for electric service, and other utility operations for the citizens of
Chaska. Recreation expenses include those related to the wide variety of opportunities offered through the
Community Center, Curling Center, golf courses and Park and Recreation programs. Other expenses include
economic development and interest on long-term debt.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Governmental activities – Governmental Activities revenue decreased $8,417,986 from the prior year and
expenses decreased $3,736,931. Significant components of revenue and expenses include:
Property Taxes were the largest source of revenue at $23,901,081 or 44%. Property Taxes for 2025 were
$3,282,399 more than the prior year due to increased tax levy based on growth, inflation, and enhanced
services.
Charges for Services made up 28.5% of total revenue, compared to 18.3% the prior year. Charges for
services were $3,949,673 higher than the prior year. The majority of this change was in the Public Works
revenue, which was $3,148,012 higher than last year due to increased water trunk fees. General Government
revenue was $772,944 higher due to administrative fees.
Operating Grants and Contributions for 2025 were $3,961,473 lower than the prior year, due to already
receiving reimbursements from the County and Federal Government for each agency’s share of public
improvement projects.
Capital Grants and Contributions were $6,177,614 and the third largest source of revenue in 2025. Revenue
in this category decreased $12,222,581 from the prior year. Special assessments, intergovernmental aid and
grants, and developer donated assets make up the majority of this revenue.
Total expenses for all programs and services were $40,317,245. Street maintenance/construction makes up
19.1% of this total. Public safety services also make up 33.4% of this total. Total expenses were $3,736,931
lower than the prior year.
The Public Works function decreased $4,516,502 from the prior year, due to several street projects
wrapping up construction in 2025. The majority of construction for some large projects occurred in 2023
and 2024.
Public safety expenses were $1,185,988 higher than the prior year due to increased personnel costs as fire
and police increase staffing to meet growth across the city.
General government expenses account for 20.7% of the total and were $602,391, or 7.8% higher than the
prior year due to various small changes across departments.
Interest on long-term debt decreased $376,021 for reducing value of interest payments.
Net transfers in 2025 include $4,755,811 in transfers from business-type activities to governmental
activities.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City of Chaska uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-
related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds - The focus of the City’s 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 Chaska’s
financing requirements. In particular, assigned and 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.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of
$45,926,938. Revenues for the City’s governmental funds were $50,314,126, while total expenditures were
$93,186,714. After other financing sources and uses, the net change in fund balances decreased $34,133,149.

The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund
balance of the General Fund was $4,171,454. Total fund balance increased $789,477 to $7,735,746 as of December
31, 2025.
Total revenues of $28,036,369 and transfers into the fund of $5,279,679 less total expenditures of
$27,979,125 and transfers out of $4,547,446, resulted in the $789,477 increase in fund balance. Total
revenues were $57,244 more than total expenditures. Overall revenues were $2,996,546 higher than the
prior year due to increases in tax revenue, intergovernmental revenue and administrative fees. Tax revenue
was higher due to the increased tax levy. Administrative fees increased based on services provided to
departments across the city. Expenditures were also higher than last year as new positions were added in
general government, police and fire.
The City has committed $1,294,249 in the general fund for compensated absences estimated to be used in
the next year based on a three-year average. The remaining balance of compensated absences has been set

aside as assigned. The remaining $1,500,000 in committed fund balance is set aside for working capital and
reserve needs.
The Public Facilities Capital Improvement Fund is used to account for the financing, improvements, and
construction of public facilities. The Public Safety campus, the first of four planned facility renovations, began
construction in 2024. Capital outlay and other expenditures were $40,340,844, mainly for construction of the new
facility. The city purchased land for the new municipal services building site in 2025. The fund ended the year with
a fund balance of $5,124,472.
The Public Improvement Projects Capital Project Fund is used to account for the revenues and expenditures for
various public improvement projects, many of which are in the southwest Chaska growth area. This fund received
$206,499 in Federal, State, and local governmental revenue for each agency’s share of major construction projects
where the City is the lead agency. Expenditures were $1,343,236 relating to construction of roads and other
infrastructure. The fund ended the year with a fund balance deficit of $12,427,382 which will be resolved as projects
receive final funding, assessment revenue, or bond proceeds.
Proprietary Funds – The City’s proprietary fund statements provide the same type of information found in the
government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.
The combined net position of all enterprise funds increased $9,033,125 to $136,122,806. Capital contributions for
the year were $1,972,888 which includes developer contributions of water, sewer and storm water infrastructure
assets. Other factors concerning the finances of these funds have been addressed in the discussion of the City’s
business-type activities.

supplemental appropriations that were approved by the City Council during the year. In 2025, the original budget
was not amended.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
The City’s final budget for the General fund anticipated that revenues and other financing sources would be equal
to expenditures and other financing uses. At year-end, revenues were $1,056,922 higher than the final budget, and
expenditures were $320,124 higher than the final budget. Other financing sources and uses were $52,679 higher
than the budget. For the year, the net change in fund balance was an increase of $789,477.
Budgetary variances – Revenues
Total General Fund property taxes were $15,751,404 which is $46,286 lower than the final budget of
$15,797,690. Taxes for the 2025 levy had a collection rate of 99.7%, which is typical for the City.
License and Permit revenue was $723,536 more than the final budget. The City budgets permit revenue
conservatively and for several years permit revenue has outperformed the budget due to the high volume
and value of construction. The 2025 revenue for licenses and permits was $2,328,552.
Investment earnings were $135,341 more than the final budget due to favorable interest rates on cash
deposits and general investments. The City budgets investment earnings conservatively due to the
possibility of economic fluctuations. A significant cash balance, along with higher interest rates, led to more
interest allocated to the fund.
Charges for services and other revenues were $202,398 and $112,026 higher than budget, respectively.
Recreation program participation led to higher than budgeted charges for services. Miscellaneous refunds,
reimbursements and contributions increased in the other revenue category. These revenues vary year-to-
year and are less predictable.
Budgetary variances – Expenditures
General government expenditures were $683,692 less than budgeted. Many departments were slightly
under budget contributing to the favorable difference. The information technology department was
significantly under budget for equipment acquisition costs. Budgeted contingency was not needed for
general government expenditures.
Public Safety expenditures were $721,114 higher than budgeted in the police department and fire
department. Police wages and benefits and costs for fuel and upfitting leased vehicles were over budget.
Fire department gear purchases, education and training costs, and payments remitted to the fire relief were
all over budget. The department updated older gear and continued to invest in training for new hires and
existing fire personnel.
Public Works expenditures were $107,801 under budget. Snow removal was $164,087 under budget due
lower than usual snowfall. Other public works departments were relatively close to budget.
Parks, Recreation and Arts expenditures were over budget by $273,466 largely due to park maintenance
costs for wages and benefits. Park maintenance employees allocate time between parks and storm water
based on service needs. In 2025, more hours were allocated to park maintenance activities resulting in
general fund activities being over budget and storm water activities under budget.

City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND RATES
The City uses a five-year financial forecast model for its General fund, enterprise funds, and certain other funds to
determine levels of service and to respond to short-term economic and financial changes to make decisions for the
long-term. The City models some funds out ten to twenty years to plan for capital improvements.
The City adopted a tax levy policy in 2014 which outlines that the tax levy is increased each year based on two
factors: new construction in the community and inflationary increases in the market. The tax levy is only increased
beyond this point if new services or assets are added.
City Council continues to commit funding to the multi-year Public Facility renovation program. The City is
dedicating an additional $1,125,000 in property tax levy and $590,000 in utility funds in 2026 to fund a series of
four City building renovations. Construction and renovation of facilities began in 2024 and will continue through
2030.
City operations at the Chaska Community Center and Chaska Curling and Event Center continue to rebound after
the pandemic. In 2024 and 2025 the Community Center began to see memberships improve from the initial loss
during the pandemic, although, not quite back to pre-pandemic levels. The City will continue to identify capital
improvements and annually plan for new equipment and repairs when budgeting for the Community Center to keep
it a facility that attracts new members. Membership and program rates will increase slightly in 2026 based on
comparative rates in neighboring communities. Curling Center operations include curling, an event center and
restaurant. Operations have rebounded after the pandemic, and the City continues to look for ways to increase
revenue through usage of the facilities during the least used time slots.
The City’s elected and appointed officials considered many factors when setting the fiscal year 2026 budget.
Considerations include:
The City will continue to prioritize ensuring General Fund reserve balances are sufficient for cash flow and
other needs, and to also maintain the City’s bond rating. The General Fund fund balance is projected to
increase $300,000 by year-end 2026. This will bring the total fund balance increase to $1,800,000 at the
end of 2026.
The City will continue to fully fund the established Capital Asset Maintenance Program. The City dedicated
$1,400,000 of tax levy each year for reinvestment back into existing governmental assets such as roads,
trails and parks. 2026 projects include street overlay of Bavaria Road.
The City will use the remaining balance of one-time public safety aid received from the State to support
police and fire services.
In the 2023 Legislative session, the State created a Metro Sales Tax with a portion of sales tax coming back
to each metro area city for the purpose of supporting affordable housing stock. The city’s allocation in 2025
was approximately $340,000 with the expectation that 2026 revenue will be similar.
Building permit revenue is expected to be similar to 2025 based on the market for commercial and industrial
projects as well as residential housing.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Population continues to increase steadily as a result of the number of residential units being built each year.
The city anticipates a population of approximately 31,300 by the end of 2030.
Electric revenue continues to increase due to economic development activity occurring in recent years,
including data center development and additions to existing industrial businesses, driving up this usage.
This has had a positive impact on electric funds right-of-way transfers to the General fund.
The City completed a staffing study in 2019 that identified a gap of 16 employees needed to sustainably
provide city services at expected levels. In 2024, the city completed the program with all anticipated
positions now added. In 2026, the City is now focused on completing a compensation study to stay
competitive in the employment market.
The City will be in the fourth and final year of implementing the building improvement program to support
public facility renovations. The fourth year of the program includes an additional $1.125 million in tax levy
and $590,000 in transfers from the Enterprise Utility Funds to support the construction and renovation of
the City’s Public Safety Campus, Municipal Services Building, City Hall, and a new Library.
Market values across the community increased by an average of 7.51% for taxes payable 2026 with 4.1% driven by
new construction and 3.4% driven by changes in existing property values. For the third year in a row, the strongest
growth has been in the category of apartments. Tax capacity is slated to grow at a slightly faster rate of 9.1%
compared to 6.6% in 2025.
The City property tax levy is increasing from $20,806,116 for taxes payable in 2025 to $23,746,345 for taxes
payable in 2026, which, along with other property tax factors, resulted in an increase of the City tax rate from 38.9%
to 39.3%. The Chaska EDA property tax levy is increasing from $231,440 for taxes payable in 2025 to $249,217
for taxes payable in 2026. The EDA tax rate will remain unchanged at 0.42% for taxes payable in 2026. Annual
taxes on the median value home are projected to increase from $1,520 in 2025 to $1,705 in 2026.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES
OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025
Total net change in fund balances - governmental funds $ (34,133,149)
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities,
the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation
and amortization expense. Further detail on increases and decreases can be found in the note on
capital assets. (Increases include donations of capital assets.)
Capital Outlay 56,262,304
Less: Depreciation and Amortization Expense (6,066,117)
Net Book Value of assets sold or disposed (2,934,287)
Under modified accrual basis of accounting, certain revenues cannot be recognized until they are
available to liquidate liabilities of the current period. Under the full accrual basis of accounting, these
revenues are recognized when earned.
Delinquent Taxes 107,403
Special Assessments (369,385)
Notes Receivable (2,780)
Intergovernmental Grants 1,362,255
Long-term debt and other long-term liabilities provide current financial resources to governmental
funds, while the repayment of long-term debt and liabilities consume the current financial resources
of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Further detail on
the additions and reductions can be found in the note on long-term liabilities.
Additions to long-term liabilities (10,927,982)
Reductions to long-term liabilities 15,193,128
Net pension, OPEB, and deferred amount on refunding activity is not recognized in the governmental funds
expense/revenue is incurred in the Statement of Activities.
Deferred Outflows - Pension Plan Deferments (2,286,489)
Deferred Inflows - Pension Plan Deferments 1,845,188
Deferred Outflows - OPEB Deferments 5,491
Deferred Inflows - OPEB Deferments 77,049
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 the 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. (345,483)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of property and liability
insurance to individual funds. The net revenue of certain activities of internal service funds
is reported with governmental activities. 636,042
Internal service fund loss allocated to business-type activities. (12,338)

City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The City of Chaska (the City) operates under the Optional Plan A form of government pursuant to applicable
Minnesota laws and statutes. The Plan A form of government prescribes an Administrator-Council form of
organization. The Council consists of an elected mayor and four council members. The City provides services such
as public safety, highways and streets, culture-recreation, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general
administration. The City operates electric, water, sewer, and storm water utilities in addition to a community center,
two golf courses, a gas turbine generator, and a curling and event center.
The financial statements of the City have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (GAAP), as applied to governmental units by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB). In order to enhance the usefulness of the financial statements to the reader the following
is a summary of the City’s significant accounting policies.
A) The Financial Reporting Entity
These financial statements present the City (primary government) and its component units. The City includes all
funds, organizations, institutions, agencies, departments and offices that are not legally separate from such.
Component units are legally separate organizations for which the elected officials of the City are financially
accountable and are included within the basic financial statements of the City because of the significance of their
operational or financial relationship with the City.
The City is considered financially accountable for a component unit if it appoints a voting majority of the
organization’s governing body and it is able to impose its will on the organization by significantly influencing the
programs, projects, activities, or level of services performed or provided by the organization, or there is a potential
for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on, the City.
As a result of applying the component unit definition criteria above, one organization has been defined and is
presented in this report as follows:
Blended component unit – The Chaska Economic Development Authority (Chaska EDA) was established in 1987
by Resolution No. 87-25 of the Chaska City Council. The Chaska EDA is included in these financial statements
because the Chaska EDA Board is comprised of City Council members. Activities of the Chaska EDA are financed
by a tax levy of the City for that purpose. There are no other statements for the Chaska EDA other than those
presented in this report.
B) Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The basic financial statements include both government-wide financial statements and fund financial statements.
Government-wide financial statements (Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities) report information
based on the City as a whole. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been 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.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is
offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or
segment. Direct expenses also include allocated expenses to functional programs from centralized expenses reported
45
Page 112 of 436
Notes to the Financial Statements
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
in the Self Insurance fund. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or
directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function, 2) operating grants and
contributions that are restricted to meet the operational requirements of a particular function and 3) capital grants
and contributions (including special assessments) that are restricted to meeting the capital requirements of a
particular function. Taxes and other internally directed revenues are reported as general revenues.
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and separate “Fund Financial Statements” are provided
for Governmental funds and Proprietary funds. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and
to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain governmental functions and activities. A
fund is a separate accounting entity with self-balancing accounts that include assets, deferred outflows of resources,
liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures/expenses. Government resources
are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and
the means by which spending activities are controlled. Fund financial statements present information for individual
major funds in separate columns. Nonmajor funds are presented aggregately in one column in the fund financial
statements.
Major Funds
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund – This fund is the City’s primary operating fund and is used to account for all financial
resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Public Facilities Capital Improvement Capital Project Fund – This fund accounts for the financing and
construction of new public facilities and facility improvements.
Public Improvement Projects Capital Project Fund – This fund accounts for the financing and
construction of public improvement projects.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
Electric Fund – This fund accounts for the activities of the City’s Electric Utility operations.
Water Fund – This fund accounts for the activities of the City’s Water Utility operations.
Sewer Fund - This fund accounts for the activities of the City’s Sewer Utility operations
Community Center Fund – This fund accounts for activities of the City’s Community Center operations.
Turbine Generator Fund – This fund accounts for the activities of the City’s Turbine Generator Utility
operations.
Storm Water Fund – This fund accounts for the activities of the City’s Storm Water Utility operations.
Curling Center Fund – This fund accounts for the activities of the City’s Curling and Event Center
operations.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund type:
Internal Service Fund – Internal service funds account for operations that provide services to other
departments or agencies of the government on a cost reimbursement basis. The City has one Internal Service
46
Page 113 of 436 Notes to the Financial Statements
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
fund – the Self-Insurance fund. This fund is used to account for the purchase of property, liability, and
workers’ compensation insurance for all City departments. Costs are allocated to individual departments.
C) Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting. The economic resources measurement focus aims to report all inflows, outflows, and
balances affecting or reflecting an entity’s net position. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized
as revenues in the year in which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenues as soon as all
eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
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 available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough
thereafter to pay liabilities for the current period. For this purpose, the City generally considers revenues to be
available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current period. Intergovernmental revenue is
considered available if collected within 90 days of the end of the current period. Expenditures are generally recorded
when a liability is incurred, as under the accrual basis of accounting. However, principal and interest on long-term
debt and other long-term obligations are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current period are all considered to be
susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenues of the current period. Only the portion of special
assessments receivable due within the current 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.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial
statements. Exceptions to this general rule are administrative charges between the City’s enterprise funds and other
functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would misrepresent the direct costs and program revenues
reported for the various functions concerned.
Proprietary funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of
accounting. This means that all assets, including capital assets, deferred outflows of resources, and all liabilities,
including long-term liabilities and deferred inflows of resources associated with fund activity are included on the
Statement of Net Position. Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases
(expenses) in net position. Revenues are recognized when they are earned, and expenses are recognized at the time
liabilities are incurred.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating 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 expenses for all the City’s enterprise funds
and internal service fund are cost of sales and services, administrative expense, depreciation of capital assets, and
amortization of right to use lease and subscription assets. All other revenues and expenses are reported as non-
operating items.

Notes to the Financial Statements
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
D) Budgetary Accounting
Budgets for the General fund, two Special Revenue funds and one Capital Project fund are adopted on a basis
consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The non-major
Special Revenue funds with budgets are the Mount Pleasant Maintenance & Care fund and the Chaska EDA fund.
The budgeted non-major capital project fund is the Equipment Acquisition fund. All annual appropriations lapse at
fiscal year-end. Budget schedules for the budgeted non-major funds are included later in this financial report.
E) Cash and Investments
Cash balances from all funds are combined and invested to the extent available as authorized by Minnesota State
Statutes. Earnings from such investments are allocated to the respective funds based on applicable cash balance
participation by each fund. Investments are stated at fair value, except for investments in external investment pools,
which are stated at amortized cost. Cash and cash equivalents consist of available cash, cash deposits and highly
liquid investments with an original maturity date at the time of purchase of three months or less. The proprietary
funds’ portion in the government-wide cash and investment management pool is considered to be cash equivalent.
Interest on escrow investments is allocated specifically to the related fund. Investment income is accrued at the
balance sheet date.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). 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; and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
Debt securities classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using a matrix pricing technique. Matrix
pricing is used to value securities based on the securities’ relationship to benchmark quoted prices.
See Note 3 for the City’s recurring fair value measurements as of year-end.
F) Receivables
Property Tax
Property tax levies are set by the City Council and must be levied on or before five business days after December
20 each year. Levied property taxes are certified to Carver County for collection in the following year. In
Minnesota, counties act as collection agents for all property taxes. The county spreads all levies over assessable
property. Such taxes become a lien on January 1 and are recorded as receivables by the City on that date.
Property taxes are due from taxpayers in two equal installments, on May 15 and October 15. Minnesota counties
typically provide tax settlements to cities and other local governments three times a year: in July, December,
and January of the following year. However, cities can request that 70% of the July settlement be distributed
three weeks early. The City has a standing request with the County for this, and thus receives the early settlement
each June.
Revenues are accrued and recognized in the government-wide financial statements in the current period. In the
fund financial statements, taxes that remain unpaid at December 31 are classified as delinquent taxes and have
been offset by a deferred inflow of resources, because it is not known when they will be available to finance
current expenditures. No allowance for uncollectible taxes has been provided because such amounts are not
expected to be material.
48
Page 115 of 436 Notes to the Financial Statements
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Special Assessments
Special assessments are levied against benefiting properties for the assessable costs of special assessment
improvement projects in accordance with state statutes. The City usually adopts assessment rolls before an
improvement contract is awarded. Annual installments (including interest) for special assessments are collected
by the County in the same manner as property taxes.
The City recognizes special assessment revenue in the government-wide financial statements when the
assessment rolls are levied. In the governmental fund financial statements, the City recognizes special
assessment revenue when it becomes both measurable and available. Current assessments, which remain unpaid
at December 31 are classified as delinquent receivables and together with deferred assessments are fully offset
by unavailable revenue – special assessments, a deferred inflow of resources, because it is not known when
they will be available to finance current expenditures. Delinquent special assessments receivable at December
31, 2025, totaled $377,862.
Trade Receivables
Utility and miscellaneous accounts receivable are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts on the
Statement of Net Position. On December 31, 2025, the allowance for uncollectible accounts is $182,445.
Leases Receivable
The City’s leases receivable are measured at the present value of lease payments expected to be received during
the leases’ terms. Under the lease agreements, the City may receive variable lease payments that are dependent
upon the lessee’s revenue or other factors. The variable payments are recorded as an inflow of resources in the
period the payment is received.
A deferred inflow of resources is recorded for the lease receivable. The deferred inflow of resources is recorded
at the initiation of the lease in an amount equal to the initial recording of the lease receivable. The deferred
inflow of resources is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
G) Short-Term and Long-Term Interfund Receivables/Payables
City operations include activity between individual funds for goods provided or services rendered. The current
portions of lending/borrowing arrangements are classified as “interfund receivables/payables.” The long-term
portions of interfund receivables and payables are reported as “advance to other funds” and “advance from other
funds.”
H) Inventory
The original cost of materials and supplies are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase for Governmental
Funds. These funds do not maintain material amounts of inventories.
Inventories in the Proprietary Funds are valued at cost, which approximates market, using the first in-first out (FIFO)
method. Inventory is recorded as an expense when consumed.
49
Page 116 of 436
Notes to the Financial Statements
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
I) Prepaid Items
Certain prepayments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid
items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. Prepaid items are reported as expense or expenditure
during the period benefited.
J) Restricted Assets
In the government-wide statement of net position and proprietary fund financial statements, unspent bond proceeds,
as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets because their use is
limited by applicable bond covenants. Investment earnings on these assets are allocated directly to the appropriate
funds. The City has also restricted cash in the governmental funds. A deposit is being held and administered by the
City on behalf of a developer for the sole purpose of funding construction-related expenses.
K) Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, buildings, improvements, equipment, right to use lease assets, right to use
subscription assets, and infrastructure (e.g., roads, bridges, streets, sidewalks, drainage systems, and lighting
systems) are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide
financial statements and in the proprietary fund financial statements. Such assets are capitalized at historical cost or
estimated historical cost for assets where actual historical cost is not available. Donated assets are valued at their
estimated acquisition value on the date of donation. The City uses the following capitalization policy:
Description Capitalization Threshold
Land $25,000
Works of Art/Treasures 10,000
Buildings and Building Improvements 25,000
Other Improvements 25,000
Furniture and Equipment 10,000
Infrastructure 50,000
Depreciation and amortization of assets on the government-wide statements for the primary government
(governmental and business-type activities) and in the proprietary funds financial statements is charged as an
expense against operations using the straight-line method and the following estimated useful lives:
Description Life
Buildings and Building Improvements 25 years
Other Improvements 25 - 50 years
Furniture and Equipment 3 - 25 years
Infrastructure 10 - 50 years
Right to use lease assets (hereinafter known as lease assets) are recorded at the value of the lease liability, plus any
payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement of the lease term and certain direct costs. Right to use
subscription assets (hereinafter known as subscription assets) are recorded at the value of the subscription liability,
plus any payments made prior to commencement of the subscription term and any capitalizable implementation
costs. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset
lives are not capitalized.
50
Page 117 of 436 Notes to the Financial Statements
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Lease assets are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the underlying asset (using the table and asset
category above) or the related lease term. Subscription assets are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the
underlying asset (using the table and category above) or the related subscription term. Capital assets not being
depreciated or amortized include land, because land is believed to have an unlimited useful life; works of
art/historical treasures, because these assets do not have a determinable useful life; and construction in progress,
because construction on the asset has not been fully completed.
L) Compensated Absences
The City provides various forms of employee leave including paid personal leave (PPL), vacation and sick leave,
and compensatory time benefits. Employees are compensated upon termination for unused PPL, vacation, and
compensatory time. Unused sick leave is not paid upon termination. The liability for compensated absences reported
in the government-wide and proprietary fund statements 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. The liability also includes amounts for leave that has been used for time off but has not yet been paid in cash.
For the General Fund, the City commits a portion of fund balance for compensated absences equal to the three-year
average as a percent of compensated absences expected to be used in the coming year. The remaining portion of
compensated absences in the General Fund is set aside in Assigned Fund Balance at the discretion of the
Administrative Services Director.
M) Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets and liabilities, statements of financial position will sometimes report separate sections for
deferred outflows or inflows of resources. These separate financial statement elements represent a consumption or
acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources
(expense/expenditure) or an inflow of financial resources (revenue) until then.
The City reports deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions and other post-employment benefits
(OPEB) in the government-wide and enterprise funds Statements of Net Position. These deferred outflows and
inflows result from the difference between expected and actual economic experience, changes in actuarial
assumptions, net collective difference between projected and actual investment earnings, changes in proportion,
and contributions to the plan subsequent to the measurement date and before the end of the reporting period. These
amounts are deferred and amortized as required under pension and OPEB standards.
The City reports deferred inflows of resources related to debt refunding in the government-wide and enterprise
funds Statements of Net Position. This deferred inflow results from the differences between the resources required
to refund debt and the net carrying amount of the refunded issue. These amounts are deferred and amortized over
the remaining life of the old debt or the life of the new debt, whichever is shorter.
The City also reports deferred inflows of resources for leases receivable in the government-wide and enterprise
funds Statements of Net Position and governmental funds balance sheet. These deferred inflows are amortized on
a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases.
Unavailable revenue arises only under the modified accrual basis of accounting and therefore is only reported in
the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues for taxes, special
assessments, notes outstanding and intergovernmental grants. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an
51
Page 118 of 436
Notes to the Financial Statements
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. Property tax revenue, special assessment
revenue, and payments on notes receivable are generally considered available if collected within 60 days after year-
end. Intergovernmental revenue is generally considered available if collected within 90 days after year-end.
N) Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations
are reported as liabilities. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized over the life of the bonds. Bonds payable
are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are expensed in the period
incurred.
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 are reported as expenditures.
O) Fund Balance Classifications
The difference between fund assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources is “fund balance” on the governmental fund statements. In the fund financial statements, fund balance is
divided into five classifications based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to observe constraints
imposed upon the use of resources reported in governmental funds. These classifications are as follows:
Nonspendable – consists of amounts that cannot be spent because it is not in spendable form, such as
prepaid items, inventory, leases receivable net of deferred inflows, and other long-term assets.
Restricted – consists of amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by creditors, grantors
or contributors; or constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
Committed – consists of amounts related to internally imposed constraints that are established by formal
action (resolution) of the City Council. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other purposes
unless the City Council removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action it employed
to previously commit those amounts.
Assigned – consists of amounts intended to be used by the City for specific purposes but do not meet the
criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. In governmental funds other than the General fund,
assigned fund balance represents the remaining amount that is not restricted or committed. In the General
fund, assigned amounts represent intended use established by the governing body itself or by an official to
which the governing body delegates authority. Pursuant to City Council Resolution, the City’s
Administrative Services Director is authorized to establish assignments of fund balance.
Unassigned – is the residual classification for the General fund and also reflects negative residual amounts
in other funds.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources
first and then unrestricted as needed. When committed, assigned or unassigned funds are available for expenditure,
it is the City’s policy to spend committed funds first, assigned funds second, and unassigned funds last.

City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
P) Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. Net position is displayed in
three components:
Net Investment in Capital Assets - consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and
amortization, reduced by the outstanding balance of any long-term debt used to build or acquire the capital
assets and the outstanding balance of any capital related payables such as contracts and retainage payable.
Restricted Net Position - consists of net position restricted by limitations imposed on their use through
external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulation of other governments.
Unrestricted Net Position – all other elements of net position that do not meet the definition of “restricted”
or “net investment in capital assets” are reported as unrestricted.
The City applies restricted resources first when an expense is incurred for which both restricted and unrestricted
resources are available.
Q) Interfund Transactions
Interfund services provided are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses. Transactions that constitute
reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it that are properly applicable to another
fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses in
the fund that is reimbursed. In the ordinary course of business, transfers between funds are made to finance projects.
Other interfund transactions are reported as transfers in/out. Interfund transactions within the respective categories
of governmental activities and business-type activities in the government-wide statement of activities are
eliminated. The internal balances caption on the government-wide statement of net position represents interfund
receivable or payable between governmental and business-type activities.
R) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (GAAP), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
S) Pension Plans
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability (asset), deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and pension
expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) and
additions to/deductions from PERA’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are
reported by PERA. 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.

expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Chaska Fire Department Relief Association Pension

one-year look-back period. Investments are reported at fair value.
Note 2 Compliance and Accountability
A) Budget
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Annually appropriated budgets are adopted for the General Fund, three Special Revenue Funds: Mount
Pleasant Maintenance & Care Fund, Chaska EDA Fund and Local Affordable Housing Aid fund, and one Capital
Project Fund: Equipment Acquisition Fund. Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted and as amended by the
City Council.
The City follows these procedures in establishing and monitoring the annual budget:
1. Prior to September 30 each year, the City Administrator submits to the City Council a proposed operating
budget for the year commencing the following January 1.
2. Public hearings are held to obtain public comments.
3. The budget is legally enacted by resolution after obtaining public comments.
4. The legal level of budgetary control is at the fund level. Budgetary control is maintained by department
heads for all assigned divisions. Department heads may reallocate budget appropriations between divisions
within the same fund, but not reallocate between funds or functions. The City Administrator may reallocate
budget appropriations between functions within the same fund.
5. During the year, expenditures in various categories (i.e., personal services, operating supplies, other
services and charges, capital outlay, and other financing uses) may exceed the level of appropriation if
additional revenues or reduced expenditures in another account are identified and available to offset the
additional expenditures.
6. Unused budgeted expenditure appropriations lapse at year-end.
7. Annual appropriated budgets are not adopted for Debt Service Funds because budgetary control is achieved
through bond indenture provisions. Budgetary control for other Capital Project Funds is accomplished
through project controls, so budgets are not adopted.
B) Excess of Expenditures Over Appropriations
For the year ended December 31, 2025, expenditures exceeded appropriations in the following funds:
Excess of
Expenditures Over
Fund Final Budget Actual Appropriations
General Fund$ 27,659,001 $ 27,979,125 $ 320,124
Nonmajor Funds:
Mount Pleasant Maintennance & Care Special Revenue Fund 13,500 14,022 522
Chaska EDA Fund 624,145 782,062 157,917
Equipment Acquisition Capital Project Fund 1,840,000 2,011,915 171,915
54
Page 121 of 436 Notes to the Financial Statements
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Variances in the General Fund, Mount Pleasant Special Revenue fund, and Chaska EDA Special Revenue fund
were all offset by revenues greater than expected. The Equipment Acquisition fund variance was offset by fund
balance.
C) Nonmajor Funds with Negative Equity
The following nonmajor funds maintained a deficit fund balance at December 31, 2025:
Special Revenue Fund
Chaska EDA $ 678,648
Capital Project Funds
Permanent Improvement Revolving/Storm Water$ 345,484
Park Development 364,499
Community Fund 223,931
Abatement Program 430,369
Engler Boulevard 3,366,317
TIF Dist #14 - Downtown Redevelopment 2,245,489
TIF Dist #20 - Brewery Project 42,045
TIF Dist #21 - Hot Spot Project 74,896
TIF Dist #22 - Ernst House Project 120,250
TIF Dist #23 - City Square West Project 1,032,707
TIF Dist #25 - EDCO Project 14,728
The deficit in the Chaska EDA fund is due to various economic development projects, some of which have not
received final funding. Ongoing activities of the Chaska EDA fund will eliminate this deficit.
The deficits in the Capital Project funds relate to capital projects that have incurred expenditures and have not
received final financing. The Permanent Improvement Storm Water fund deficit is due to transfers to other funds
to support project and debt service costs. This fund will receive future area charges and assessment payments to
eliminate the deficit. The Fire Protection System deficit is due to developer assistance which will be collected
through annual assessments. The Abatement Program and TIF District deficits are due to project costs for the
districts. Abatement and tax increment revenue collected in future years will eliminate these deficits. All funds are
expected to recover their deficits.
Note 3 Cash and Investments
The City maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds. Each fund type’s portion of
this pool is displayed on the government-wide statement of net position as “cash and investments.”
Deposits, investments, petty cash and change funds are reported on the City’s financial statements as follows:
Statement of Net Position - Government-Wide
Cash and Investments $46,011,926
Restricted Cash and Investments 26,986,952
Total Cash and Investments $72,998,878

City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
B) Deposits
In accordance with applicable Minnesota Statutes, the City maintains deposits at depository banks authorized by
the City Council, including checking accounts and certificates of deposits.
The following is considered the most significant risk associated with deposits:
Custodial Credit Risk – In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of bank failure, the City’s
deposits may be lost and not recovered.
Minnesota Statutes require that federal deposit insurance, corporate surety bond or collateral protect all
deposits. The fair value of collateral pledged must equal 110% of the deposits not covered by insurance or
bonds. Authorized collateral includes the legal investments described below under “credit risk”, as well as
certain first mortgage notes and certain other state or local government obligations. Minnesota Statutes require
that securities pledged as collateral be held in safekeeping by the City or in a financial institution other than
that furnishing the collateral. The City’s investment policies do not further address limiting exposure to
custodial credit risk for deposits.
At year-end, the carrying amount of the City’s deposits was $6,569,269 while the balance on the bank records
was $8,569,269. Total bank deposits include a developer’s escrow with an account balance of $701,340. These
funds are being held and administered by the City on behalf of the developer for the sole purpose of funding
construction-related expenses. At December 31, 2025, all deposits were insured, or collateralized by securities
held by the City’s agent in the City’s name.
C) Investments
The City has the following investments at year-end:
Fair Value
Credit Risk Measurements Interest Risk - Maturity Duration in Years
Investment Type Rating Agency Using Less Than 1 1 to 5 Total
U.S. Treasury Securities AA1 Moody Level 1$ 700,028 $ - $ 700,028

Total Deposits 6,565,247
Petty Cash and Change Funds 4,022
Total Deposits and Investments$ 72,998,878
The Minnesota Municipal Money Market Fund (the 4M Fund) is regulated by Minnesota statutes and the Board of
Directors of the League of Minnesota Cities and is a customized cash management program for Minnesota public
56
Page 123 of 436 Notes to the Financial Statements
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
funds. It is also sponsored and governed by the League of Minnesota Cities since 1987. Allowable under Minnesota
Statutes, the 4M Fund is comprised of top quality, highly rated investments.
The 4M Fund is an external investment pool not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC);
however, it follows the same regulatory rules of the SEC. The reported value of the pool is the same as the fair
value of the pool share. The City’s investment in this fund is measured at amortized cost. For this investment pool,
there are no unfunded commitments, redemption frequency is daily, and there is no redemption notice required for
the Liquid Class; the redemption notice period is 14 days for the Plus Class.
Investments are subject to various risks, the following of which are considered the most significant:
Custodial Credit Risk – For investments, this is the risk that in the event of a failure of the counterparty to an
investment transaction (typically a broker-dealer) the City would not be able to recover the value of its
investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The City’s investment policies
do not address limiting exposure to custodial credit risk.
Credit Risk – This is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations.
Minnesota Statutes limit the City’s investments to direct obligations or obligations guaranteed by the United
States or its agencies; shares of investment companies registered under the Federal Investment Company Act
of 1940 that receive the highest credit rating are rated in one of the two highest rating categories by a statistical
rating agency, and all of the investments have a final maturity of thirteen months or less; general obligations
rated “A” or better; revenue obligations rated “AA” or better; general obligations of the Minnesota Housing
Finance Agency rated “A” or better; bankers acceptances of United States banks eligible for purchase by the
Federal Reserve System; commercial paper issued by United States corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries,
rated of the highest quality category by at least two nationally recognized rating agencies, and maturing in 270
days or less; Guaranteed Investment Contracts guaranteed by a United States commercial bank, domestic
branch of a foreign bank, or a United States insurance company, with a credit quality in one of the top two
highest categories; repurchase or reverse purchase agreements and securities lending agreements with financial
institutions qualified as a “depository” by the government entity, with banks that are members of the Federal
Reserve System with capitalization exceeding $10,000,000, that are a primary reporting dealer in U.S.
government securities to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or certain Minnesota securities broker-
dealers. The City’s investment policies do not further address credit risk.
Concentration Risk – This is the risk associated with investing a significant portion of the City’s investment
(considered 5.0% or more) in the securities of a single issuer, excluding U.S. guaranteed investments (such as
Treasuries), investment pools, and mutual funds. The City’s investment policy does not limit the concentration
of investments.
At year-end, the City had 17.1%, or $12,962,032 of its investments in a single issuer, First American Funds
Money Market fund.
Interest Rate Risk - This is the risk of potential variability in the fair value of fixed rate investments resulting
from changes in interest rates (the longer the period for which an interest rate is fixed, the greater the risk).
The City’s investment policy does not limit the duration of investments.

City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Bonds Payable:
The City issues general obligation bonds to provide funds for the construction of capital projects and acquisition of
equipment. General obligation bonds have been issued for both governmental and business-type activities.

improvement bond issues. Bonds in the governmental activities will be repaid by future property tax levies, tax
increments or special assessments accumulated in the specific debt service funds. Bonds in the business-type
activities will be repaid with the net revenues of the utility issuing the bonds. For both governmental and business-
type activities, in the event a deficiency exists at the time a debt service payment is due, the City must provide
resources to cover the deficiency until other resources are available.
The City and the Chaska EDA also issue revenue bonds. Revenue bonds are supported by specific fee revenues to
pay for debt service.

Tax Increment Pay-As-You-Go Financing Revenue Notes:
The Chaska EDA has entered into private development agreements to facilitate the financing of certain projects
established by the Chaska Housing and Redevelopment Authority (pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections
469.001 to 469.047). The costs of these projects are financed using tax increment generated from established tax
increment financing districts (pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.179).
As of December 31, 2025, the Chaska Economic Development Authority has entered into five agreements
considered Tax Increment Pay-As-You-Go Financing Revenue Notes under GASB #77. The agreements are not
general obligations of the EDA or the City and are payable solely from available tax increment. Each note will be
cancelled at the end of the agreement term, whether it has been fully repaid or not. Accordingly, the amounts have
not been included in long-term debt because the nature of the notes is that repayment is required only if sufficient
tax increments are received. The City’s position is that these are obligations to assign future and uncertain revenue
sources and as such, is not actual debt in substance.
The four agreements were to assist the developer with the financing of certain costs of a project constructed within
the Development District and are as follows:
In 2007, the Chaska EDA issued a pay-as-you-go note to Clover Field Sinclair Limited Partnership in the
principal sum of $3,100,000 with an interest rate of 5.65 percent per annum and payments due each

payable solely from available tax increment derived from the housing development and paid to the EDA.
The pay-as-you-go note provides for payment to the developer for 95% of the tax increment received in the
prior six months, less the administrative fees charged by the County. The current year abatement (TIF note
payments) totaled $225,107.66. On December 31, 2024, the amount outstanding on the note was
$4,165,472.77.
In 2015, the Chaska EDA issued a pay-as-you-go note to Chaska Heights Senior Living in the principal
sum of $2,874,667 with an interest rate of 3.25 percent per annum and payments due each February 1 and
August 1, commencing August 1, 2018, and paid through February 1, 2044. Payments are payable solely
from available tax increment derived from the housing development and paid to the EDA. The pay-as-you-
go note provides for payment to the developer for 100% of the tax increment received in the prior six
months, less the administrative fees charged by the County, and less $34,500 which shall be retained by the
EDA. The current year abatement (TIF note payments) totaled $279,740.34. On December 31, 2025, the
amount outstanding on the note was $2,186,389.16.

interest rate of 4.0 percent per annum and payments due each February 1 and August 1, commencing August
1, 2023, and paid through February 1, 2032. Payments are payable solely from available tax increment
derived from the redevelopment project area and paid to the EDA. The pay-as-you-go note provides
payment to the developer for 95% of the tax increment received in the prior six months, less the
administrative fees charged by the County. The current year abatement (TIF note payments) towards
Building One totaled $301,345.89 and Building Two totaled $220,720.71. On December 31, 2025, the
amount outstanding on the note for Building One was $505,676.30 and the amount outstanding on the note
for Building Two was $0.
Conduit Debt:
From time to time, the City has issued Industrial Revenue Bonds (IRBs) and Housing Revenue Bonds (HRBs)
(collectively the “Revenue Bonds”) to provide financial assistance to private-sector entities for the acquisition and
construction of industrial and housing facilities deemed to be in the public interest. The Revenue Bonds are secured
by the property financed and are payable solely from payments received on the underlying mortgage loans. Upon
repayment of the Revenue Bonds, ownership of the acquired facilities transfers to the private sector entity served
by the bond issuance. Neither the City, nor the State, nor any political subdivision thereof is obligated in any manner
for repayment of the bonds, excluding the bonds mentioned below. Accordingly, the bonds are not reported as
liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.
As of December 31, 2025, there were two series of IRBs outstanding. The aggregate principal amount payable for
the two series issued after July 1, 1995, was $17,476,043. The aggregate principal amount payable for the three
series issued prior to July 1, 1995, could not be determined; however, their original issue amounts totaled
$9,625,000. As of December 31, 2025, there were three series of HRBs outstanding. The aggregate principal
amounts payable for the three series issued after July 1, 1995, was $4,225,000. The aggregate principal amount
payable for the series issued prior to July 1, 1995, could not be determined; however, the original issue amounts
totaled $3,600,000.
The outstanding HRB balance includes one issue that is backed by the full faith and credit of the City. In 2020, the
Carver County Housing and Redevelopment Authority issued $2,200,000 in Housing Development Revenue Bonds.
(These bonds refunded the $2,850,000 Housing Revenue Bonds of 2010). This issue is secured by housing revenues
and, if not so paid, by a tax levy. The bonds are secured by a general obligation pledge of the City.

Note 9 Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and
omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters.

Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT). The City pays an annual premium to LMCIT. The City is subject to
supplemental assessments if deemed necessary by the LMCIT.
The LMCIT reinsures through Workers Compensation Reinsurance Association (WCRA) as required by law. For
workers compensation, the City is not subject to a deductible. The City’s workers compensation coverage is
retrospectively rated. With this type of coverage, final premiums are determined after loss experience is known.
The amount of premium adjustment, if any, is considered immaterial and not recorded until received or paid.
Property and casualty insurance coverage is provided through a pooled self-insurance program through the LMCIT.
The City pays an annual premium to the LMCIT. The City is subject to supplemental assessments if deemed
necessary by the LMCIT. The LMCIT reinsures through commercial companies for claims in excess of various
amounts. The City retains risk for the deductible portion of the insurance policies and for any exclusion from the
insurance policies. These amounts are considered immaterial to the financial statements.
The City continues to carry commercial insurance for all other risks of loss, including life, disability, dental, and
health insurance. There were no significant reductions in insurance from the previous year or settlements in excess
of insurance coverage for any of the past three years.

City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
The Self Insurance fund, an internal service fund which charges its costs to user departments, accounts for the risk
management activities of the City. The fund is designed to build up a reserve, which will provide the City the
opportunity to assume a greater share of its insurance risks and thereby reducing the cost to purchase insurance.

B) Federal and State Funding
Amounts received or receivable from grant agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies. Any
disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The
amount, if any, of expenditures that may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time, although
the City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
C) Legal Claims

City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Note 13 Defined Benefit Pension Plans – State-wide
A) Plan Description
The City participates in the following cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans administered
by PERA. These plan provisions 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.
1. 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
employees meets exclusion criteria.
2. Public Employees Police and Fire Retirement Plan
Membership in the Police & Fire Plan includes full-time, licensed police officers and firefighters who meet the
membership criteria defined in Minnesota Statutes section 353.64 and who are not earning service credit in any
other PERA retirement plan or local relief association for the same service. Employers can provide Police &
Fire Plan coverage for part-time positions and certain other public safety positions by submitting a resolution
adopted by the entity’s governing body. The resolution must state that the position meets plan requirements.
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.
1. 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 five 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 the 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 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 at 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.
82
Page 149 of 436 Notes to the Financial Statements
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. The postretirement increase is 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 2025 annual increase was 1.25%. 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.
2. 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 ten
years. After five years, vesting increases by 10% each full year of service until members are 100% vested after
ten 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 age 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.

the period.
The State of Minnesota contributed $18 million to the Police and Fire Fund in the plan fiscal year ended June
30, 2025. The contribution consisted of $9 million in direct state aid that meets the definition of a special
funding situation and $9 million is supplemental state aid that does not meet the definition of a special funding
situation. The $9 million direct state aid was paid on October 1, 2024. The direct state aid payment will increase
by $17.7 million which was paid on October 1, 2025. Thereafter, by October 1 of each year, the state will pay
$26.7 million to the Police and Fire Fund until the fund is 110% funded for a minimum of three consecutive
years (on an actuarial basis). The $9 million in supplemental state aid will continue until the fund and State

City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
The State of Minnesota is not included as a non-employer contributing entity in the Police and Fire Pension
Plan pension allocation schedules for the $9 million in supplemental state aid because the contribution was not
considered to meet the definition of a special funding situation. The City recognized $86,455 for the year ended
December 31, 2025, as revenue and an offsetting reduction of net pension liability for its proportionate share
of the State of Minnesota’s on-behalf contributions to the Police and Fire Fund.

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 on 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:
Target Long-Term Expected
Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return
Domestic Equity 33.5% 5.10%
International Equity 16.5% 5.30%
Fixed Income 25.0% 0.75%
Private Markets 25.0% 5.90%
Total: 100.0%
F) Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
The total pension liability for each of the cost-sharing defined benefit plans was determined by an actuarial valuation
as of June 30, 2025, using the entry-age normal actuarial cost method. The long-term rate of return on pension plan
investments used to determine the total liability is 7%. The 7% 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 investment return assumptions from a number of national investment consulting firms. The review
provided a range of investment return rates considered reasonable by the actuary. An investment return of 7% is
within that range.
Inflation is assumed to be 2.25% for the General Employees Plan and the Police and Fire Plan.
Benefit increases after retirement are assumed to be 1.50% for the General Employees Plan and 1.00% for
the Police & Fire Plan.
Salary growth assumptions in the General Employees Plan range in annual increments from 11.5% after one year
of service to 3% after 27 years of service. In the Police and Fire Plan, salary growth assumptions range in annual
increments from 10.75% after one year of service to 3% after 23 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.
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. The assumption changes were adopted
by the board and become effective with the July 1, 2025 actuarial valuation.
87
Page 154 of 436
Notes to the Financial Statements
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
The following changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions occurred in 2025:
1. General Employees Fund
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions:
The combined service annuity loading factors increased from 15% to 19% for vested terminated members and
from 3% to 44% for non-vested, terminated members.
The assumed post-retirement benefit increase changed from 1.25% to 1.5%.
Changes in Plan Provisions:
The post-retirement benefit increase formula changed to 100% of the Social Security annual increase, between
1% and 1.75% , beginning January 1, 2026. If the funded ratio (on a market value of assets basis) is less than
85% for the last two consecutive annual valuations or is less than 80% in the most recent actuarial valuation,
the maximum is reduced to 1.5%. Previously, the benefit increase was 50% of the Social Security annual
increase, between 1% and 1.5%.
The 1% additional employer contribution is eliminated when the plan reaches 98% funded status (on an
actuarial value of assets basis); this contribution was previously scheduled to stop when the plan reached
100% funded status.
2. Police and Fire Fund
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions:
Assumed rates of salary increases were reduced slightly.
Assumed rates of retirement were adjusted, resulting in an overall increase in unreduced (full) retirements and
an overall increase in reduced (early) retirements.
Assumed rates of withdrawal were modified; the new rates will increase predicted terminations, especially in
the first few years of employment.
Assumed rates of disabled retirement were significantly increased, especially for ages over age 30.
Continued used of Pub-2010 Public Safety Mortality Table with rates adjusted to better fit observed
experience.
Percent married assumption for female retirees lowered from 70% to 65%.
Minor changes were made to form of payment assumptions for retirees.
Minor changes were made to assumptions made with respect to missing participant data.
The combined service annuity load changed from 33% to 13% for vested, terminated members and from 2%
to 38% for non-vested, terminated members.
Changes in Plan Provisions:
The period of time needed for benefit recipients to receive their first benefit increase was reduced by one year
(from 36 months to 24 months for a full increase).
The January 1, 2026 benefit increase changed from 1% to 3%; subsequent January 1 increases will be 1%.
The threshold to end the $9 million annual state aid contribution changed from the earlier of July 1, 2048 or
90% funded for both PERA Police & Fire and MSRS State Patrol for three consecutive years to 100% funded
for both PERA Police & Fire and MSRS State Patrol for three consecutive years (on an actuarial value of
assets basis).
The threshold to end the additional $9 million annual state aid contribution changed from the earlier of July
1, 2048 or 100% funded for a minimum of three consecutive years to 110% funded for a minimum of three
consecutive years (on an actuarial value of assets basis).
88
Page 155 of 436 Notes to the Financial Statements
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
An additional $17.7 million in direct state aid will be paid annually each October 1 beginning October 1, 2025
through June 30, 2048.
Joint and survivor actuarial equivalent factors were updated to reflect changes in assumptions.
G) Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2025 was 7%. 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 position 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.
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.
H) Pension Liability Sensitivity
The following presents the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for all plans it participates in,
calculated using the discount rate disclosed in the preceding paragraph, as well as what the City’s proportionate
share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate one percentage point lower or
one percentage point higher than the current discount rate:

Detailed information about each pension plan’s fiduciary net position is available in a separately issued PERA
financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. That report may be
obtained on the Internet at www.mnpera.org.
Note 14 Defined Contribution Plan – PERA
Two council members of the City are covered by the Defined Contribution Plan, a multiple-employer deferred
compensation plan administered by PERA. The Defined Contribution Plan is a tax qualified plan under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and all contributions by or on behalf of employees are tax deferred until time
of withdrawal.
Plan benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings, less administrative
expenses. Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353D.03, specifies plan provisions, including the employee and employer
contribution rates for those qualified personnel who elect to participate. An eligible elected official who decides to
participate contributes 5.0% of salary which is matched by the elected official’s employer. For ambulance services
personnel, employer contributions are determined by the employer and for salaried employees, contributions must
89
Page 156 of 436
Notes to the Financial Statements
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
be a fixed percentage of salary. Employer contributions for volunteer personnel may be a unit value for each call or
period of alert duty. Employees who are paid for their services may elect to make member contributions in an
amount not to exceed the employer share. Employer and employee contributions are combined and used to purchase
shares in one or more of the seven accounts of the Minnesota Supplemental Investment Fund. For administering the
plan, PERA receives 2.0% of employer contributions and twenty-five hundredths of one percent (0.25%) of the
assets in each member’s account annually.
Total contributions made by the City during fiscal year 2025 were:

Note 15 Defined Benefit Pension Plans – Fire Relief Association
A) General Information about the Pension Plan
Plan Description - All members of the Chaska Fire Department (CFD) are covered by a defined benefit pension
plan, Chaska Fire Department Relief Association Pension Plan (CFDRAPP), administered by the Chaska Fire
Department Relief Association (CFDRA). CFDRAPP is a single-employer defined benefit pension plan. Minnesota
Statutes, Chapter 69 grants the authority to the CFDRA Board to establish and amend benefit terms with consenting
approval by the Chaska City Council. CFDRA issues a publicly available financial report that can be obtained by
writing to City of Chaska, One City Hall Plaza, Chaska, MN 55318-1962 or by phone (952) 448-9200.

City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Members covered by benefit terms - At December 31, 2023, pension plan membership consisted of the following
as used to determine Net Pension Liability (Asset) as of December 31, 2025:
Inactive Members Currently Receiving Benefits 41
Beneficiaries Currently Receiving Benefits 15
Inactive Members Entitled to But Not Yet Receiving Benefits 8
Active Members 43
Total members: 107
Contributions - Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 424 and 424A, authorize pension benefits for volunteer fire relief
associations. The CFDRAPP 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 $307,059 in fire state aid to the CFDRAPP on behalf of the CFD for the year ended December 31, 2025,
which was recorded as revenue. Required City contributions are calculated annually based on statutory provisions.
The City made all required contributions and additional voluntary contributions to the plan for the year ended
December 31, 2024, totaling $265,987. The City’s contributions exceed the required contributions as set by State
Statutes. Members of the CFD have no obligation to contribute to the plan.
B) Net Pension Liability
The CFDRAPP’s net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2024, and the total pension liability used
to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2023.
Actuarial Assumptions - The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of December 31,
2023 using the entry age normal actuarial cost method and the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods
included in the measurement:
Inflation 2.50%
Salary Increases Not applicable as plan members are paid on call volunteers
Investment Rate of Return and Discount Rate 5.75% net of pension plan investment expense, including inflation
20-Year Municipal Bond Yield 3.77%
Mortality rates were based on the following:
Healthy Pre-retirement - Pub-2010 Public Safety Employee mortality tables with projected mortality
improvement scale MP-2021.
Healthy Post-retirement - Pub-2010 Healthy Retired Public Safety mortality tables with projected mortality
improvement scale MP-2021. Male rates are adjusted by a factor of 0.98.
Disabled - Pub-2010 Public Safety Disabled Retiree mortality tables with projected mortality improvement
scale MP-2021. Male rates are adjusted by a factor of 1.05.
The demographic actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2023, valuation were based on the same
assumptions used in the July 1, 2023, PERA Police and Fire actuarial valuation. The economic actuarial assumptions
are reviewed annually as part of the fire relief’s annual valuation.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method
in which best-estimates ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan
investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These asset class estimates are combined
91
Page 158 of 436
Notes to the Financial Statements
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the current
asset allocation percentage (or target allocation, if available) and by adding expected inflation. All results are then
rounded to the nearest quarter percentage point.
Best-estimates of geometric real and nominal rates of return for each major asset class included in the pension plan’s
asset allocation as of the measurement date are summarized in the following table:
Target Long-Term Expected
Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return
Domestic Equity 35% 4.91%
International Equity 20% 5.32%
Fixed Income 10% 2.30%
Real Estate and Alternatives 10% 3.79%
Cash and Equivalents 25% 0.77%
Total: 100%
Discount Rate - The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 5.75%. The projected cash flows
used to determine the discount rate assumed that future contributions will be equal to projected contribution amounts
based on Minnesota statutory requirements. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position
was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive members.
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected
benefits payments to determine the total pension liability.

Note 16 Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Plan
A) Plan Description
The City’s defined benefit OPEB plan provides a single-employer defined benefit health care plan to eligible
employees. The plan offers group health insurance benefits. Medical coverage is administered by Blue Cross Blue
Shield. It is the City’s policy to periodically review its group health insurance plans and to obtain requests for
proposals in order to provide the most favorable benefits and premiums for the City’s employees and retirees. No
assets are accumulated in a trust.
B) Benefits Provided
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. Retirees
may obtain dependent coverage while the participating retiree is under age 65. Covered spouses may continue
coverage after the retiree’s death. The surviving spouse of an active employee may continue coverage in the group
health insurance plan after the employee’s death.
Retirees are 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. Upon a
retiree reaching 65 years of age, Medicare becomes the primary insurer and the City’s plan becomes secondary.
C) Contributions
The required contributions are based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements. For the current year, the
City’s required pay-as-you go finance benefits totaled $37,519.
D) Members
Membership in the plan consisted of the following as of the latest actuarial valuation:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 4
Active employees 176
Total employees and beneficiaries: 180

Note 17 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
A) Change Within the Financial Reporting Entity
During the fiscal year 2025, the City had a change in major fund classifications. In the Governmental Major funds,
the GO Temporary State Aid Improvement Bond fund became a nonmajor fund in 2025 after the bonds were
refunded the prior year. The effects of this change to or within the financial reporting entity are shown in column
A of the table below.
B) Correction of Error in Previously Issued Financial Statements
During fiscal year 2024, the City recognized $54,212 as revenue that was unavailable to the Public Improvements
Project fund. This resulted in an overstatement of revenue and fund balance and an understatement of unavailable
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024. A restatement of fund balance for $54,212 was required as an error
correction. The effect of correcting that error is shown in column B of the table below.
The following table provides further detail of the reporting units affected by adjustments to and restatements of
beginning balances as of January 1, 2025:

Page 205 of 436 Nonmajor Enterprise Funds
City of Chaska, Minnesota For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to a
private business enterprise. It is the intent of the City Council that the costs of providing goods and services
to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. This
type of fund is also used where the City Council has decided that periodic determination of net income is
appropriate for accountability purposes. The City has the following nonmajor enterprise funds.
• The Loop at Chaska Fund:
This fund is used to account for the operation of the City’s 9-hole barrier-free public golf course.
• Chaska Town Course Fund:
This fund is used to account for the operation of the City’s 18-hole public golf course.

(1) Total direct and overlapping rate excludes the City Rural rate. In 2005, as part of the annexation of
Chaska Township, a rural rate of 50 percent of the City "urban" rate was established for ten years
for the annexed properties. Starting in 2015, the rural rate increased 10 percent each year.
Beginning in 2019, the annexed area is taxed at the City "urban" rate.
(2) Overlapping rates are those of other governments that apply to property owners within the City.
Not all overlapping rates apply to all property owners (e.g., the rates for special districts apply only to
property owners whose property is located within the geographic boundaries of the special district.).
(3) Special Districts include:
Metropolitan Council, Regional Transit District, Lower Minnesota Watershed #1, Mosquito Control,
and Carver County Rail Authority.

Note: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City.
This schedule estimates the portion of outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the
residents and businesses of the City of Chaska. This process recognizes that, when considering the City's ability
to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken
into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and therefore responsible for
repaying the debt of each overlapping government.
(1) Excludes general obligation, lease purchase, and revenue bonds reported in the enterprise funds.
Includes premium related to governmental activities general obligation bonds and notes payable.
Includes GASB 87 lease liabilities and GASB 96 subscription liabilities related to governmental activities.
(2) No percentage of the Carver County CDA bonds is applicable because the bonds will be repaid primarily from
housing revenues.

issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information
of City of Chaska, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of Chaska’s basic financial statements, and
have issued our report thereon dated June 30, 2026.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered City of Chaska’s
internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Chaska’s
internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Chaska’s
internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a
timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether City of Chaska’s financial statements are free
from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and
material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Chaska
Chaska, Minnesota
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of
the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the City of Chaska as of and for the year ended December 31,
2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s
basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated June 30, 2026.
In connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City
of Chaska failed to comply with the provisions of the contracting – bid laws, depositories of public
funds and public investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, claims and
disbursements, miscellaneous provisions, and tax increment financing sections of the Minnesota
Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Cities, promulgated by the State Auditor pursuant to Minn. Stat.
§ 6.65, insofar as they relate to accounting matters. However, our audit was not directed primarily
toward obtaining knowledge of such noncompliance. Accordingly, had we performed additional
procedures, other matters may have come to our attention regarding the City’s noncompliance
with the above referenced provisions, insofar as they relate to accounting matters.
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of compliance and the
results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on compliance. Accordingly, this
communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Chaska
Chaska, Minnesota
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Chaska as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2025, and have issued our report thereon dated June 30, 2026. We have previously
communicated to you information about our responsibilities under auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America, Government Auditing Standards, and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements
for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), as well as certain information related to the planned scope and
timing of our audit in our statement of work dated November 24, 2025. Professional standards also
require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant audit findings or issues
Qualitative aspects of accounting practices
Accounting policies
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant
accounting policies used by City of Chaska are described in Note 1 to the financial statements.
No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during
2025.
We noted no transactions entered into by the entity during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative
guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in
the proper period.
Accounting estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions
about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance
to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ
significantly from those expected. There were no accounting estimates affecting the financial statements
which were particularly sensitive or required substantial judgments by management.
Financial statement disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial
statement users.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Significant unusual transactions
We identified no significant unusual transactions.

Difficulties encountered in performing the audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our
audit.
Uncorrected misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all misstatements identified during the audit, other than
those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.
Management has determined that the effects of uncorrected misstatements are immaterial, both
individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. The following summarizes
uncorrected misstatements of the financial statements:
Intergovernmental revenue of $115,763 was recognized in a prior period despite not meeting the
availability criteria under modified accrual accounting. As a result, revenue was overstated in the
prior period and is understated in 2025 when the resources became available. This results in an
understatement of 2025 change in fund balance of $115,763.
Intergovernmental revenue of $487,600 was recognized in the previous year despite not meeting
the availability criteria under modified accrual accounting. As a result, revenue was overstated in
the prior period and is understated in 2025 when the resources became available. This results in
an understatement of 2025 change in fund balance of $487,600.
Uncorrected misstatements or the matters underlying uncorrected misstatements could potentially cause
future-period financial statements to be materially misstated, even if management has concluded that the
uncorrected misstatements are immaterial to the financial statements under audit.
Corrected misstatements
None of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were
material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Disagreements with management
For purposes of this communication, a disagreement with management is a disagreement on a financial
accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be
significant to the financial statements or the auditors’ report. No such disagreements arose during our
audit.
Circumstances that affect the form and content of the auditors’ report
As previously communicated to you, the report was modified to include an emphasis-of-matter paragraph
to highlight the effect of the restatement to the beginning Public Improvement Project Fund’s fund
balance.
Management representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management
representation letter dated June 30, 2026.

Management consultations with other independent accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application
of an accounting principle to the entity’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditors’
opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting
accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge,
there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Significant issues discussed with management prior to engagement
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing
standards, with management each year prior to engagement as the entity’s auditors. However, these
discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a
condition to our engagement.
Required supplementary information
With respect to the required supplementary information (RSI) accompanying the financial statements, we
made certain inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the RSI, including whether the
RSI has been measured and presented in accordance with prescribed guidelines, whether the methods
of measurement and preparation have been changed from the prior period and the reasons for any such
changes, and whether there were any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the
measurement or presentation of the RSI. We compared the RSI for consistency with management’s
responses to the foregoing inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge obtained during
the audit of the basic financial statements. Because these limited procedures do not provide sufficient
evidence, we did not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
Supplementary information in relation to the financial statements as a whole
With respect to the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and budgetary
comparison schedules (collectively, the supplementary information) accompanying the financial
statements, on which we were engaged to report in relation to the financial statements as a whole, we
made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the
information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period or the
reasons for such changes, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the
financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying
accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We have issued our report thereon dated June 30, 2026.
Other information included in annual reports
Other information (financial or nonfinancial information other than the financial statements and our
auditors’ report thereon) is being included in your annual report and is comprised of introductory and
statistical sections. Our responsibility for other information included in your annual report does not extend
beyond the financial information identified in our opinion on the financial statements. We have no
responsibility for determining whether such other information is properly stated and do not have an
obligation to perform any procedures to corroborate other information contained in your annual report.
We are required by professional standards to read the other information included in your annual report
and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial
Page 251 of 436 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council

Page 4
statements because the credibility of the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon may be
undermined by material inconsistencies between the audited financial statements and other information.
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. Our auditors’ report on the financial
statements includes a separate section, “Other Information,” which states we do not express an opinion
or any form of assurance on the other information included in the annual report. We did not identify any
material inconsistencies between the other information and the audited financial statements

EXECUTIVE AUDIT SUMMARY
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025
Page 253 of 436
AUDIT SUMMARY
The following is a summary of our audit work, key conclusions, and other information that we consider
important or that is required to be communicated to the City Council, administration, or those charged
with governance of the City.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY UNDER AUDITING STANDARDS GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements. Professional standards require
that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, as well as certain
information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such
information to you verbally, in our Governance Communication Letter, and in our audit engagement
letter. Professional standards also require that we communicate the following information related to our
audit.
PLANNED SCOPE AND TIMING OF THE AUDIT
We performed the audit according to the planned scope and timing previously discussed and
coordinated in order to obtain sufficient audit evidence and complete an effective audit.

We issued an unmodified opinion on the City's basic financial statements.
We reported no deficiencies in the City's internal control over financial reporting that we
considered to be a material weakness related to restatements.
We reported no deficiencies in the City's internal control over financial reporting that we

GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS OVERVIEW
This section of the report provides you with an overview of the financial trends and activities of the
City’s governmental funds, which include the General, special revenue, debt service, and capital project
funds.
These funds are used to account for the basic services the City provides to all of its citizens, which are
financed primarily with property taxes. The governmental fund information in the City’s financial
statements focuses on budgetary compliance, and the sufficiency of each governmental fund’s current
assets to finance its current liabilities.
PROPERTY TAXES
Minnesota cities rely heavily on local property tax levies to support governmental fund activities. The
most recent comparative statewide averages available from the Office of the State Auditor are for fiscal
year 2023. In 2023, local ad valorem property tax levies provided 44.1 percent of total governmental
fund revenues for cities with populations over 2,500, and 35.2 percent for cities with populations under
2,500. The taxable net tax capacity of property in Minnesota cities increased approximately 8.3 percent
for the 2023 levy year. The tax capacity values used for levying property taxes are based on assessed
market values from the previous fiscal year. For example, tax capacity values for taxes levied in 2024
were based on assessed market values as of January 1, 2023. As a result, changes in tax capacity
values may lag somewhat behind changes in the housing market and broader economy.
According to data available from the Minnesota Department of Revenue, total property taxes levied by
all Minnesota cities for taxes payable in 2025 increased 7.8 percent compared to the prior year,
following a 7.7 percent increase for taxes payable in 2024.
The City’s taxable market value increased 6.6 percent for taxes payable in 2024 and 6.8 percent for
taxes payable in 2025. The following graph shows the City’s changes in taxable market value over the
past 10 years plus 2024:
Taxable Market Value
6,000,000,000
5,000,000,000
4,000,000,000

2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025
Tax capacity is considered the actual base available for taxation. It is calculated by applying the state’s
property classification system to each property’s market value. Each property classification, such as
commercial or residential, has a different calculation and uses different rates. Consequently, a city’s
total tax capacity will change at a different rate than its total market value, as tax capacity is affected by
the proportion of the City’s tax base that is in each property classification from year-to-year, as well as
legislative changes to tax rates and exemptions. The City’s tax capacity increased 6.7 percent and 5.1
percent for taxes payable in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Total governmental funds $ 45,926,938 $ 80,060,087 $ (34,133,149)
* As Restated
In total, the fund balances of the City’s governmental funds decreased $34,133,149 during the year
ended December 31, 2025.
The majority of the decrease in total governmental fund balances was attributable to a $35.3 million
decrease in restricted fund balance. This decrease resulted from the spending down of unspent bond
proceeds that were restricted at the end of 2024, with $35.3 million expended during 2025. The General
Fund saw an increase in total fund balance of $789 thousand as a result of efforts to replenish the
reserve in that fund.

GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES
The following table presents the per capita revenue of the City’s governmental funds for the past three
years, along with state-wide averages.
We have included the most recent comparative state-wide averages available from the Office of the
State Auditor to provide a benchmark for interpreting the City’s data. The amounts received from the
typical major sources of governmental fund revenue will naturally vary between cities based on factors
such as the City’s stage of development, location, size and density of its population, property values,
services it provides, and other attributes. It will also differ from year-to-year due to the effect of inflation
and changes in the City’s operation. Also, certain data on these tables may be classified differently than
how they appear on the City’s financial statements in order to be more comparable to the state-wide
information, particularly in separating capital expenditures from current expenditures.
We have designed this section of our management report using per capita data in order to better
identify unique or unusual trends and activities of your city. We intend for this type of comparative and
trend information to complement, rather than duplicate, information in the Management’s Discussion
and Analysis. An inherent difficulty in presenting per capita information is the accuracy of the population
count, which for most years is based on estimates.

Other 114 98 63 117 142
Total revenue$ 1,458 $ 4,886 $ 1,992 $ 1,634 $ 1,669
The City received $50,314,127 of total revenue in its governmental funds in 2025, which was an
increase of $1,596,260 (3.28 percent) from the prior year. The City has historically generated a
significantly smaller portion of its governmental funds revenue from property taxes than the average
Minnesota city.
On a per capita basis, the $1,669 of 2025 revenue represents an increase of $35 from the previous
year. Intergovernmental revenues decreased $230 per capita, due to less state and federal funding
received for city street and utility projects. Charges for services increased $164 per capita, due to an
increase in water trunk fees. Property tax revenues increased with the increased property tax levy
approved by the City Council.
(6)
Page 259 of 436
The expenditures of governmental funds will also vary from state-wide averages and from year-to-year,
based on the City’s circumstances. Expenditures are classified into three types as follows:
Current – These are typically the general operating type expenditures occurring on an annual
basis, and are primarily funded by general sources such as taxes and intergovernmental
revenues.
Capital Outlay – These expenditures do not occur on a consistent basis, more typically
fluctuating significantly from year-to-year. Many of these expenditures are project-oriented, and
are often funded by specific sources that have benefited from the expenditure, such as special
assessment improvement projects.
Debt Service – Although the expenditures for debt service may be relatively consistent over the
term of the respective debt, the funding source is the important factor. Some debt may be repaid
through specific sources such as special assessments or redevelopment funding, while other
debt may be repaid with general property taxes.
The City’s expenditures per capita of its governmental funds for the past three years, together with
state-wide averages, are presented in the following table:
Governmental Funds Expenditures per Capita

Total expenditures$ 1,550 $ 1,370 $ 2,205 $ 2,336 $ 3,089
Total expenditures in the City’s governmental funds for 2025 were $93,186,710, an increase of $23.5
million (33.74 percent) from the previous year, or $753 per capita. The increase was primarily due to
public works, which was $183 per capita higher than the previous year, primarily due to an increase in
expenditures for the public safety facility project as well as various road projects.

GENERAL FUND
The City’s General Fund accounts for the financial activity of the basic services provided to the
community. The primary services included within this fund are the administration of the municipal
operation, police and fire protection, building inspection, streets and highway maintenance, and parks
and recreation.
The graph below illustrates the change in the General Fund financial position over the last five years.
We have also included a line representing annual revenues to reflect the change in the size of the
General Fund operation over the same period.

Revenue 16,948,557 18,781,511 22,524,295 25,039,823 28,036,369
The City’s General Fund cash and investments balance at December 31, 2025 was $8,661,606, an
increase of $792,523. Total fund balance at December 31, 2025 was $7,735,746, an increase of
$789,477 from the prior year.
As the graph illustrates, the City has generally been able to maintain healthy cash and fund balance
levels as the volume of financial activity has grown. This is an important factor because a government,
like any organization, requires a certain amount of equity to operate. A healthy financial position allows
the City to avoid volatility in tax rates; helps minimize the impact of state funding changes; allows for
the adequate and consistent funding of services, repairs, and unexpected costs; and is a factor in
determining the City’s bond rating and resulting interest costs. Maintaining an adequate fund balance
has become increasingly important given the fluctuations in state funding for cities in recent years.

Budget Ac t ual
General Fund revenue for 2025 was $28,036,369 which was $1,056,922 (3.92 percent) more than
budget.
Licenses and permits revenue was over budget by $723,536 primarily due to higher than anticipated
building activity and changes in the economy and housing. Charges for services revenue was greater
than budgeted by $202,398 primarily due to increases in recreation program revenue and programs
offered through Parks and Recreation. The total of all remaining other revenues was greater than the
total of the budget of all remaining other revenues primarily due to investment earnings on general
investments and favorable interest rates. The City budgets investment income conservatively due to
economic unknowns.
The following graph presents the City’s General Fund revenues by source for the last five years. The

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In addition to fund-based information, the current reporting model for governmental entities also
requires the inclusion of two government-wide financial statements designed to present a clear picture
of the City as a single, unified entity. These government-wide financial statements provide information
on the total cost of delivering services, including capital assets and long-term liabilities.
STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
The Statement of Net Position essentially tells you what your city owns and owes at a given point in
time, the last day of the fiscal year. Theoretically, net position represents the resources the City has
leftover to use for providing services after its debts are settled. However, those resources are not
always in spendable form, or there may be restrictions on how some of those resources can be used.
Therefore, net position is divided into three components: net investment in capital assets, restricted,
and unrestricted.
The following table presents the components of City’s net position as of December 31, 2025 and 2024,
for governmental activities and business-type activities:

The total net position of the City increased $27.5 million during the 2025 fiscal year. Of the increase,
$18.4 million came from governmental activities and $9.1 million from business-type activities. One of
the primary reasons for the increases in both the governmental and business-type activities was the
increase in construction in progress related to construction on the public safety facility during 2025.

STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The Statement of Activities tracks the City’s yearly revenues and expenses, as well as any other
transactions that increase or reduce total net position. These amounts represent the full cost of
providing services. The Statement of Activities provides a more comprehensive measure than just the
amount of cash that changed hands, as reflected in the fund-based financial statements. This
statement includes the cost of supplies used, depreciation of long-lived capital assets, and other
accrual-based expenses.
The following table presents the change in the net position of the City for the years ended December
31, 2025 and 2024:

One of the goals of this statement is to provide a side-by-side comparison to illustrate the difference in
the way the City’s governmental and business-type operations are financed. The table clearly illustrates
the dependence of the City’s governmental operations on general revenues such as property taxes and
unrestricted grants, while its business-type activities are financed predominately through program
revenues.
The difference in 2024 and 2025 net change in public works is mainly due to decreased expenses
related to work on road projects in 2025 as compared to the state and federal revenues received.
The net difference in storm water is due to increased revenues in 2024 related to additional contributed
capital as compared to 2025.

Note 1: Plan Description
A. Form of Government / Financial Reporting Entity

Association). The Association was incorporated on March 3, 1891. The Association is the administrator of a single-
employer defined benefit pension plan (the Plan) available to firefighters. The Plan operates under the provisions of
Minnesota Laws 1965, chapter 446, as amended and Minnesota statute chapters 69 and 424. It is governed by a Board of
Trustees, (the Board) made up of six members elected by the members of the Association for three year terms, and three
members approved by the City Council of the City of Chaska, of which at least one is an elected member of the City
Council.
For financial reporting purposes, the Association's financial statements are not included with the City’s financial

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Plan Asset Matters
A. Entity-Wide Financial Statement Presentation
The entity-wide financial statements (the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities) display information
about the financial activities of the Association, except for the Fiduciary Funds. Generally, the effect of any material
interfund activity has been removed from the entity-wide financial statements. The Statement of Activities demonstrates
the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those
that are clearly identifiable with specific functions or segment. Program revenues include charges to association
members or others who use or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or
segment, and grants or contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular
function or segment. Other internally directed revenues are reported instead of general revenues.
The entity-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual
basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred,
regardless of the timing of related cash flows.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2025
Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Plan Asset Matters (Continued)
B. Description of Funds
The resources of the Association are accounted for in two funds. Each fund is accounted for as an independent entity.
Descriptions of the funds included in this report are:
Major Governmental Fund:
The General fund is a governmental fund which accounts for the resources not accounted for in other funds. It is
used for the good and benefit of the Association as determined by Association bylaws. Its resources consist of
fundraising proceeds, investment earnings and miscellaneous sources.
Additionally, the Association reports the following fund type:
The Fiduciary fund accounts for assets held by the Association in a trustee capacity for its members.
The Special Pension Trust fund is a fiduciary fund for the accumulation of resources to be used for retirement,
dependency and disability annuity payments of appropriate amounts at appropriate times in the future. Resources
are contributed by the City at amounts determined by law (taxes) or voluntarily, and from the two-percent insurance
premium tax and amortization aid from the State.
C. Fund Basis of Accounting
General Fund - The modified accrual basis of accounting and current financial resources measurement focus is followed
for the General Fund of the Association. Under this method of accounting, revenues are recognized when received in
cash, except for revenues of a material amount that have not been received at the normal time of receipt and revenues
susceptible to accrual. Revenues considered susceptible to accrual are those revenues that are both measurable and
available to finance the Association’s operations during the year. For this purpose, the Association considers revenues to
be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Typically, the Association does not
have revenues that are susceptible to accrual. Expenditures are reported when the related liability is incurred.
Special Pension Trust Fund - The accrual basis of accounting and economic resources measurement focus are followed
for the Special Pension Trust Fund of the Association. Under this method, additions (revenues) are recognized in the
accounting period in which they are earned and become measurable. Deductions (expenses) are recognized in the period
incurred, if measurable. Future pension costs are computed periodically in accordance with Minnesota State Statute
requirements. Contributions from the City of Chaska, and from the State of Minnesota in the form of the two-percent
insurance premium tax and amortization aid are recognized when due, provided that the contributor has made a formal
commitment to provide the contribution.
Typically, separate fund financial statements are provided for Governmental Funds. However, due to the simplicity of
Association’s operations, the Governmental Fund financial statements have been combined with the entity-wide
statements. Separate fund financial statements are provided for the Fiduciary Fund. Since, by definition, Fiduciary Fund
assets are being held for the benefit of a third party and cannot be used for other activities or obligations of the
Association, the Fiduciary Fund is excluded from the entity-wide statements.
D. Net Position Classifications and Flow Assumptions
In the entity-wide and fiduciary fund financial statements, net position represents the difference between assets,
liabilities, and deferred inflows/outflows of financial resources, as applicable. Net position is displayed in three
components:
Net Investment in Capital Assets – Consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation reduced by any
outstanding debt attributable to acquire capital assets.
16
Page 292 of 436
Chaska Fire Department Relief Association
Chaska, Minnesota
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2025
Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Plan Asset Matters (Continued)
Restricted Net Position – Consists of net position restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use through
external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other governments.
Unrestricted Net Position – All other net position that do not meet the definition of “restricted” or “net investment in
capital assets”.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Association’s policy to first use restricted
resources.
E. Fund Balance Classifications and Flow Assumptions
In the fund financial statements, fund balance is divided into five classifications based primarily on the extent to which
the Association is bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of resources reported in the governmental funds.
These classifications are defined as follows:
Nonspendable - Amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items.
Restricted - Amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by creditors, grantors or contributors; or
constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
Committed - Amounts constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed by formal action (resolution) of
the Board of Directors (the Board), which is the Association’s highest level of decision-making authority. Committed
amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the Board modifies or rescinds the commitment by resolution.
Assigned - Amounts constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed. In the General fund, assigned
amounts represent intended uses established by the Board itself or by an official to which the governing body
delegates the authority.
Unassigned - The residual classification for the General fund.
The Association considers restricted amounts to be spent first when both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is
available. Additionally, the Association would first use committed, then assigned, and lastly unassigned amounts of fund
balance when expenditures are made.
F. Income Taxes
The Association is a nonprofit organization described in Section 501(c) 4 of the Internal Revenue Code and is exempt
from Federal and State income taxes.
The Association has analyzed filing positions with the Internal Revenue Service and the State of Minnesota. The
Association is subject to routine audits by these jurisdictions; however, the Association is currently not under any audits
for any tax periods. The Association does not anticipate that any of its income tax filing positions would result in a
material adverse effect on the Association’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. No liability has been
recorded for uncertain tax positions.
As allowed under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Association would accrue,
if applicable, income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the Association’s statement of revenues,
expenditures and changes in fund balances. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Association did not recognize
any interest or penalties. With few exceptions, the Association is no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities
for years before 2022.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2025
Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Plan Asset Matters (Continued)
G. Investments
Investments include negotiable certificates of deposits, and all other securities purchased. Investments are reported at
fair value. The Association categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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; and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. Debt securities
classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using a matrix pricing technique. Matrix pricing is used to value
securities based on the securities’ relationship to benchmark quoted prices. See Note 3 for the Association’s recurring fair
value measurements as of the current year-end.
H. Receivables
When necessary, the Association utilizes an allowance for uncollectible accounts to value its receivables; however, the
Association considers all current receivables to be collectible.
I. Capital Assets
All capital assets belong to the City of Chaska and are expensed at the time of purchase. The Association does not have
any capital assets.
J. 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 certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
K. Actuarial Liability
The actuarial accrued pension liability has been calculated as of December 31, 2025, in accordance with GASB Statement
No. 67. Actuarial liabilities are not recorded in the basic financial statements under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of American. Instead, pension benefits payable to individual members are accrued in the
Special Pension Trust Fund when due and payable upon retirement.
L. Budget
The Association is not required to, and does not, adopt a budget for its General Fund.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Association’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be demand deposits and short-term investments with
original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
Custodial credit risk for deposits and investments is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Association’s deposits
and investments may not be returned or the Association will not be able to recover collateral securities in the possession
of an outside party.
Minnesota statutes require that all Association deposits be protected by insurance, surety bond or collateral. The market
value of collateral pledged must equal 110 percent of the deposits not covered by insurance or bonds. Authorized
collateral in lieu of a corporate surety bond includes:
• United States government Treasury bills, Treasury notes, Treasury bonds;
• Issues of United States government agencies and instrumentalities as quoted by a recognized industry quotation
service available to the government entity;
• General obligation securities of any state or local government with taxing powers which are rated “A” or better by
a national bond rating service, or revenue obligation securities of any state or local government with taxing
powers which are rated “AA” or better by a national bond rating service;
• General obligation securities of a local government with taxing powers may be pledged as collateral against
funds deposited by that same local government entity;
• Irrevocable standby letters of credit issued by Federal Home Loan Banks to a municipality accompanied by
written evidence that the bank’s public debt is rated “AA” or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or Standard
& Poor’s Corporation; and
• Time deposits that are fully insured by any federal agency.
The Association has no additional deposit policies addressing custodial credit risk.

are provided by various credit rating agencies and where applicable, indicate associated credit risk. Minnesota
statutes, section 11A.24, contains a specific list of asset classes available for investment, including common
stocks, bonds, short term securities, real estate, private equity, and resource funds. The Association’s investment
policy does not address credit risk.
• Custodial Credit Risk. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral
securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The Association’s investment policy does not address
custodial credit risk but typically limits its exposure by purchasing insured or registered investments.
• Concentration of Credit Risk. Is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government’s investment in a
single issuer. There is no one issuer (other than U.S. Treasury securities, real estate investment trusts, mutual
funds and external investment pools) that represents 5 percent or more of the total Association’s investments.
• Interest Rate Risk. Is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment.
Minnesota statutes prescribe the maximum percentage of fund assets that may be invested in various asset
classes and contain specific restrictions to ensure the quality of the investments. The Association’s investment
strategy is to emphasize total return, that is, the aggregate return from capital appreciation and dividend and
interest income.
• Rate of return. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the annual money-weighted rate of return on pension plan
investments, net of pension plan investment expense, was 12.63 percent. The money-weighted rate of return
expresses investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for the changing amounts actually
invested.

Investment Policy. The pension plan’s policy in regard to the allocation of invested assets is established and may be
amended by the Association’s Board by a majority vote of its members. It is the policy of the Association’s Board to
pursue an investment strategy that reduces risk through the prudent diversification of the portfolio across a broad
selection of distinct asset classes. The pension plan’s investment policy discourages the use of cash equivalents, except
for liquidity purposes, and aims to refrain from dramatically shifting asset class allocations over short time spans.
Investment management of plan assets shall be in accordance with the following asset allocation guidelines:
Target
Asset Class Allocation
Domestic Equity 35%
International Equity 20%
Fixed Income 10%
Real Estate 10%
Cash 25%
Total 100%
Note 4: Net Pension Liability
The components of the net pension liability (asset) of the Association at December 31, 2025, were as follows:
Total Pension Liability $ 8,340,663
Plan Fiduciary Net Position 8,265,960
Net Pension Liability (Asset) $ 74,703
Plan fiduciary net position as a percentage
of the total pension liability 99.1%
Actuarial assumptions. The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2025,
using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Discount Rate 5.75%
Salary Increase Rate N/A
Inflation Rate (1) 2.50%
Lump Sum Benefit Increase Rate (2) N/A
20-Year Municipal Bond Rate 4.08%
(1) Per GASB 68 instructions, the inflation rate is used to allocate costs under the Entry Age Normal
Level percent of payroll cost method for plans whose benefits are not pay-related.
(2) GASB rules require that accrued liabilities be based on the terms of the plan in effect on the measurement date.
Therefore, we have not reflected any future lump sum multiplier increases even though the Relief Association may
have a history of regular benefit increases. Potential increases are contingent on future benefit agreements and
statutory average available financing requirements. Any future increases will be reflected at the time they are approved.

Note 4: Net Pension Liability
A variety of significant actuarial assumptions are used to determine the standardized measure of the accrued pension
liability and these assumptions are summarized below:
Actuarial Cost Method: The Entry Age Normal level percent of pay cost method. Under this method, the service cost for
an individual participant is the level percentage of pay required to accumulate the funds needed to pay the participant’s
projected benefits by their assumed retirement age, beginning on the date of entry and ending on last age before with an
future benefits. The portion of the PVB allocated to past service is called the Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) or the Total
Pension Liability (TPL).
Amortization Method Investment Gains and Losses: Straight-line amortization over a closed 5-year period.
Effects of Assumption Changes and Experience Gains and Losses: Straight-line amortization over a closed period equal
to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all members (i.e., active employees and terminated/retired
members) that are provided with pensions through the pension plan.
Data Methods: The Relief Association provided census and financial information for the valuation, and we have relied on
this data in preparing the results in this report. The data was reviewed for reasonableness and consistency, but we have
not performed a complete audit. If any of the information is inaccurate or incomplete, then the results may be materially
different, and the calculations may need to be revised.
To the extent that census data was collected as of a date later than December 31, 2025, we have assumed that it is
reasonably representative of the plan census on the valuation date and used it with only minor adjustments.
Mortality: Rates used in the 2024 PERA of Minnesota Public Employees Police and & Fire Plan experience study.
Healthy Pre-retirement: Pub-2010 Public Safety Employee mortality tables with projected mortality improvement scale
MP-2021.
Healthy Post-retirement: Pub-2010 Healthy Retired Public Safety Employee mortality tables with projected mortality
improvement based on scale MP-2021. Male rates are adjusted by a factor of 1.10.
Disabled: Pub-2010 Public Safety Disabled Retiree mortality tables with projected mortality improvement based on scale
MP-2021. Male rates are adjusted by a factor of 1.17.
Withdrawal: Service rates used in the 2024 Minnesota PERA Police & Fire Plan experience study.
Disability: Age-related rates used in the 2024 PERA Minnesota Public Employees Police & Fire Plan experience study. All
incidences are assumed to be duty-related.
Discount Rate: Per GASB guidance, the single rate that produces the same present value of expected benefit payments
as (1) the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets during the period when projected assets are sufficient to pay
future retiree benefits, and (2) the 20-year municipal bond rate after assets are projected to be exhausted.
Changes since prior valuation:
• The disability, mortality and withdrawal assumptions were updated from the rates used in the July 1, 2023
Minnesota PERA Police & Fire Plan actuarial valuation to the rates used in the 2024 Minnesota Public Employees
Police & Fire Plan experience study.

Note 4: Net Pension Liability (Continued)
Investment Return
GASB 67 requires the development of an assumption regarding the long-term expected rate of return on plan assets. The
process utilized for this actuarial valuation is described below.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in
which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment
expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These asset class estimates are combined to produce
the portfolio long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the current asset
allocation percentage (or target allocation, if available) and by adding expected inflation (2.50%). All results are then
rounded to the nearest quarter percentage point.
The best-estimates of expected future asset class returns were published in the 2025 Survey of Capital Market
Assumptions produced by Horizon Actuarial Services. These expected returns, along with expected asset class standard
deviations and correlation coefficients, are based on Horizon’s annual survey of investment advisory firms. The expected
inflation assumption was developed based on an analysis of historical experience blended with forward-looking
expectations available in market data.
Best-estimates of geometric real and nominal rates of return for each major asset class included in the pension plan’s
asset allocation as of the measurement date are summarized in the following table:
Cash and Equivalents Allocation at Long-term Expected Long-term Expected
Asset Class December 31 Real Rate of Return Nominal Rate of Return (1)
Domestic Equity 35.00% 4.60% 7.10%
International Equity 20.00% 4.95% 7.45%
Fixed Income 10.00% 2.70% 5.20%
Real Estate and Alternatives 10.00% 3.98% 6.48%
Cash and Equivalents 25.00% 1.19% 3.69%
Total (2) 100.00% 6.52%
Reduced for assumed investment expense (3) -0.80%
Net assumed investment return (weighted avg, rounded to 1/4%) 5.75%
(1) Nominal rates of return are equal to real rates of return plus the assumed inflation rate.
(2) Portfolio total expected return is weighted average of arithmetic asset class returns, with adjustment to reflect
geometric averages. It is not equal to the weighted average of the asset class geometric returns shown above.
(3) Assumed investment expenses include investment management fees.
Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate
GASB 67 requires that the liability discount rate be the single rate that reflects the following:
A. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments that are expected to be used to finance the
payment of benefits, to the extent that (1) the pension plan’s fiduciary net position is projected to be sufficient to
make projected benefit payments and (2) pension plan assets are expected to be invested using a strategy to
achieve that return, and
B. A yield or index rate for 20-year, tax-exempt general obligation municipal bonds with an average rate of AA/Aa or
higher (or equivalent quality on another rating scale), to the extent that the conditions in A. are not met.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2025
Note 4: Net Pension Liability (Continued)
The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that future contributions will be equal to
projected contribution amounts based on Minnesota statutory requirements. Based on those assumptions, the pension
plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefits 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 following presents the net pension liability of the Association, calculated using the discount rate of 5.75 percent, as
well as what the Association’s net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1 percentage
point lower (4.75 percent) or 1 percentage point higher (6.75 percent) than the current rate:
Total Plan Net
Pension Fiduciary Pension
Liability Net Position Liability/(Asset)
1% Decrease in Discount Rate (4.75%) $ 9,079,313 $ 8,265,960 $ 813,353
Current Discount Rate (5.75%) 8,340,663 8,265,960 74,703
1% Increase in Discount Rate (6.75%) 7,708,481 8,265,960 (557,479)
Note 5: Contributions Required and Contributions Made
The Association's funding policy provided for contributions from the State and the City in amounts sufficient to
accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits when due. The annual contribution is the sum of the normal cost, the State
contribution payment and the provision for administrative expenses.
The Department is comprised of volunteers; therefore, there are no payroll expenditures or covered payroll percentage
calculations.
Required contribution of $307,059 was made by the State of Minnesota (the State) including $1,000 in supplemental
benefit reimbursements, in accordance with Minnesota statute requirements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
There was a voluntary contribution by the City of Chaska (the City) of $265,987.
Note 6: Risk Management
The Association is exposed to various risks of loss related to theft of assets for which the Association carried
commercial insurance policies. There were no significant reductions in insurance from the previous year or settlements
in excess of insurance coverage for any part of the past three fiscal years.

Chaska, Minnesota
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the governmental activities, the general
fund, and the special pension trust fund of Chaska Fire Department Relief Association as of and for the
year ended December 31, 2025, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America, we considered the entity’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as
a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of
expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph
and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies and, therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were
not identified. In addition, because of inherent limitations in internal control, including the possibility of
management override of controls, misstatements due to fraud or error may occur and not be detected by
such controls. However, as discussed below, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control that we
consider to be material weaknesses.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
Material weaknesses
We consider the following deficiencies in the entity’s internal control to be material weaknesses.
Controls Over General Fund Revenue
Revenues of the general fund did not have adequate documentation of review and approval and
support due to lack of controls over revenue. The most difficult control areas are donations and
fundraising revenues for the mail in donations, ticket raffle fundraiser, and the bucket raffle
fundraiser. The absence of effective controls over these revenue streams increases the risk that
revenues may not be completely or accurately recorded in the accounting records. As a result,
there is an increased potential that funds generated through fundraising activities may not be
properly accounted for or deposited timely into the Fire Relief General Fund due to the risk of
misappropriation, errors in cash handling or counting, and the lack of reconciliations between
amounts raised and amounts received.

Segregation of Duties
A fundamental concept in a good system of internal control is the segregation of duties. The basic
premise is that no one individual should have access to both physical assets and the related
accounting records or to all phases of a transaction. While Abdo Financial Services aids in some
of these processes, there is nothing in place to keep the treasurer from performing all accounting
functions for any single or multiple transactions. The effect of these items is an increase in the
potential for errors or omissions to occur and not be detected in the normal course of business.
This condition is inherent in many small governmental or business entities.
The Association already has in place some controls to help mitigate the lack of segregation of
duties such as: approving the treasurer’s report at meetings, requiring adequate documentation
for all checks written, and having someone else available to help with reconciling activities. These
are important internal controls in a small organization and the Association’s board and members
need to continue these oversight practices. We also understand that the Association requires two
signatures on all checks written (both the General Fund and the Pension Trust Fund). This is
another way to help mitigate risks associated with the lack of segregation of duties.
We encourage the Association to segregate its accounting functions to the greatest extent
possible and financially feasible.
The status of these matters will be evaluated during our next audit engagement. Many of these
observations and recommendations have already been communicated to management and other
responsible personnel in the prior year and they have implemented additional controls for part of the year;
however, controls were not present during the full year under audit. We remain available to further discuss
these matters, perform additional procedures as requested, or assist with the development and
implementation of corrective actions.

States of America, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit in
our audit engagement agreement dated October 20, 2025. Professional standards also require that we
communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant audit findings or issues
Qualitative aspects of accounting practices
Accounting policies
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant
accounting policies used by Chaska Fire Department Relief Association are described in Note 1 to the
financial statements.
No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during
2025.
We noted no transactions entered into by the entity during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative
guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in
the proper period.
Accounting estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions
about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance
to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ
significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimate affecting the financial statements was:
Management’s estimate of the total pension liability is based on actuarial estimates. We
evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the total pension liability in
determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Financial statement disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial
statement users. There were no particularly sensitive financial statement disclosures.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Significant unusual transactions
We identified no significant unusual transactions.

Difficulties encountered in performing the audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our
audit.
Uncorrected misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all misstatements identified during the audit, other than
those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.
Management did not identify and we did not notify them of any uncorrected financial statement
misstatements.
Corrected misstatements
None of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were
material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Disagreements with management
For purposes of this communication, a disagreement with management is a disagreement on a financial
accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be
significant to the financial statements or the auditors’ report. No such disagreements arose during our
audit
Management representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the attached
management representation letter dated May 26, 2026.
Management consultations with other independent accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application
of an accounting principle to the entity’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditors’
opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting
accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge,
there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Significant issues discussed with management prior to engagement
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing
standards, with management each year prior to engagement as the entity’s auditors. However, these
discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a
condition to our engagement.

Significant findings or issues that were discussed, or the subject of correspondence, with
management
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing
standards, with management each year. We have provided a separate letter to you dated
May 26, 2026, communicating internal control related matters identified during the audit.
Other audit findings or issues
The following describes findings or issues arising during the audit that are, in our professional judgment,
significant and relevant to your oversight of the financial reporting process:
During the audit we identified the following significant risk of material misstatement that has not
previously been communicated to you:
o Segregation of Duties
. Segregation of Duties. Due to the small number of employees and management,
internal control processes may lack sufficient segregation of duties and there is a
risk of one member having access and control to too many processes.
We have provided a separate communication to you dated May 26, 2026, communicating internal control
related matters identified during the audit.
Required supplementary information
With respect to the required supplementary information (RSI) accompanying the financial statements, we
made certain inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the RSI, including whether the
RSI has been measured and presented in accordance with prescribed guidelines, whether the methods
of measurement and preparation have been changed from the prior period and the reasons for any such
changes, and whether there were any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the
measurement or presentation of the RSI. We compared the RSI for consistency with management’s
responses to the foregoing inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge obtained during
the audit of the basic financial statements. Because these limited procedures do not provide sufficient
evidence, we did not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
Other information included in annual reports
Other information (financial or nonfinancial information other than the financial statements and our
auditors’ report thereon) is being included in your annual report and is comprised of the introductory
section. Our responsibility for other information included in your annual report does not extend beyond
the financial information identified in our opinion on the financial statements. We have no responsibility
for determining whether such other information is properly stated and do not have an obligation to perform
any procedures to corroborate other information contained in your annual report. We are required by
professional standards to read the other information included in your annual report and consider whether
a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial statements because the
credibility of the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon may be undermined by material
inconsistencies between the audited financial statements and other information. 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. Our auditors’ report on the financial statements includes a
separate section, “Other Information,” which states we do not express an opinion or any form of
Page 313 of 436Board of Trustees

assurance on the other information included in the annual report. We did not identify any material
inconsistencies between the other information and the audited financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE
Independent Auditor’s Report
Board of Trustees
Chaska Fire Department Relief Association
Chaska, Minnesota
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the general fund, and the
special pension trust fund of the Chaska Fire Department Relief Association (the Association), as
of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the Association’s basic financial statements, and have issued our
report thereon dated May 26, 2026.
In connection with our audit, we noted that the Chaska Fire Department Relief Association failed
to comply with provisions of the relief associations section of the Minnesota Legal Compliance
Audit Guide for Relief Associations, promulgated by the State Auditor pursuant to Minn. Stat. §
6.65, insofar as they relate to compliance with Minn. Stat. § 356A.06. Specifically, the Association
did not file the required Certification of Statement of Economic Interest form by the January 15
annual filing deadline, as described in the schedule of findings and recommendations as item
2025-001. Also, in connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that caused us to
believe that the Association failed to comply with the provisions of the depositories of public funds
and public investments section of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Relief
Associations, insofar as they relate to accounting matters. However, our audit was not directed
primarily toward obtaining knowledge of such noncompliance. Accordingly, had we performed
additional procedures, other matters may have come to our attention regarding the Association’s
noncompliance with the above-referenced provisions, insofar as they relate to accounting matters.
The Association’s response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the schedule of
findings and recommendations as item 2025-001. The Association’s response was not subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we
express no opinion on it.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of those charged with governance and
management of the Association and the State Auditor and is not intended to be, and should not
be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.

REQUEST FOR ACTION
CHASKA CITY COUNCIL
7/20/2026
Subject: Vista Ridge – Concept Plan
Applicant: Paul Reiland – Johnson Reiland Homes
Location: The site encompasses four parcels:
1. Outlot A, Carlson Bluffs;
2. Outlot H, Ensconced Woods
3. Adjacent, unaddressed parcel east of Carlson Bluffs; and
4. 3700 Chaska Blvd
Case No.: P.C. No. 2026-12
Synopsis: The applicant is requesting approval of a concept plan for a 27-lot
residential development on 30 acres (Carlson Property).
Prepared by: Ashley Cauley
Staff Recommendation: Motion to adopt Resolution No. 2026-65
Introduction and Background
The site is located in Southwest Chaska.
The following information and Figure 1
(right) summarizes the surrounding area
and recent development activity:
Rivertown Heights and Rivertown
Heights 2nd Addition (90 total lots): Development
Subdivisions were approved in 2022 Site
and 2023, respectively. Click to see
project page.
Founders Ridge/ Founders Ridge 2nd
Addition (53-lots): The subdivisions
were approved in 2013 and 2015.
Right-of-way connections were
provided to the east, west, and south
for future developments.

Page 322 of 436 Ensconced Woods (29-lots):
Approved in 2022. Click to see
project page. Outlot H was
retained by Linda Carlson for
future development and is Outlot H (2.9 acres)
included within the current
development site (see Fig. 2)
Highpoint Vistas/ Highpoint
Vistas 2nd Addition (162-lots):
Approved in 2025 and 2026. Click
to see project page.
Holasek/ Pulte Development: A
concept plan was approved for
207 housing units, consisting of a Figure 2: Ensconced Woods plat
mix of townhomes, detached
single-dwelling units, and twin homes, in early 2026. Click to see project page.
SW Chaska Park: Property is owned by the City, and planning is underway for the
community park. Click to see park page.
District 112 property: Land owned by District 112 for a future elementary school.
Carlson Bluffs (14 lots): Approved in 2024. Click to see project page. Approximately five
acres of Carlson Bluffs was platted as Outlot A and reserved for future development. The
submitted ghost plat illustrated a concept for 27 lots on Outlot A and the adjacent 16-acre
property. The ghost plat was dependent on the development of the 3730 Chaska Blvd (Lano
property). Staff generally found the ghost plat conceptually reasonable but noted that
further review of natural features (trees, slopes, etc.) would be necessary to determine
whether a through street connection would be feasible rather than the illustrated cul-de-
sacs. (See Figs. 3 and 4).

Page 323 of 436 Neighborhood Meeting
The applicant invited all properties within 500-feet of the site to a neighborhood meeting
on 6/18/2026. Four people attended the meeting and generally supported the project.
Existing Conditions
The site includes four properties and is roughly 30 acres in size. Three properties are currently
owned by Linda Carlson, and the fourth property is the former Schram Haus Brewery site at
3700 Chaska Blvd.

Figure 4: Site Context
The property has significant topography with
several wooded steep slope1 areas:
The highest point is in the northwest
corner of the site, dropping roughly
100 feet to the lowest point in the
southeast corner.
Areas of steep slopes generally
border the perimeter of the property
(See areas highlighted in green in
Fig. 5).

this property, but it is part of the development site to provide access.
The Little Rapids Fur Post Historical Marker is
located on the northwestern side of Chaska
Blvd, immediately south of 3700 Chaska Blvd
(former Schram Haus Brewery). The site is a 3700 Chaska
historic roadside wayside rest constructed in Blvd (former
Schram Haus
1938 by the Minnesota Department of Property)
Highways (now the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDOT), as part of a 2,100-
foot roadside development project along the Historical
historic US Highway 212 route. Following an Marker site
extensive maintenance project in 2009, the
site was listed on the National Registry of
Historic Places in 2010.

Figure 7: Historical Marker Photos
Concept Plan
A land-use proposal comprises many details. These details are reviewed by members of the city’s
economic development, engineering, fire, utilities, planning, and public works departments and
divisions. The details are then aggregated, and any potential issues are identified for resolution
should the project move forward. The analysis and recommendations outlined in the following
sections of this report are based on the collaborative efforts of this larger staff review team.
Page 325 of 436The concept plan contemplates the
regrading of the site for the
construction of a new roadway, 27
detached, single-dwelling units, and
supporting site improvements.
Project Goals
The applicant has identified the
following goals for the project:
1. Sense of community and
small-town values by
providing residents with
convenient access to local
parks, trails, recreational
facilities, and community
events, supporting an active
and high-quality of life. Figure 8: Concept Plan
2. Well-planned and orderly
development by connecting to existing residential
development in a logical and contiguous manner
that is consistent with the surrounding
development pattern.
3. Commitment to excellence by a developer who has Site
brought high-quality residential development
projects within the city.
Land Use:
Comprehensive Plan:
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the site as Low
Density Residential (yellow), Open Space Preservation
(green), and High Density Residential (brown). Figure 9: 2040 Comprehensive Plan
Areas guided for Low Density Residential allow a
density of 2 to 5 dwelling units per net acre,
including local access streets.
Areas guided for High Density Residential allow a Site
density of 12 to 40 dwelling units per net acre,
including local access streets.
Zoning:
The site includes property that is zoned:
2
1. Unaddressed parcel: O, Open Development ;
Figure 10: Zoning Map
2 By City Code Sec. 15.12.190, the intent of the O – Open Development district is to provide a “holding zone” for land which is
currently served by trunk sanitary sewer facilities but which has not yet been developed for urban use. The bulk of undeveloped
land which the City’s urban service area is zoned O-Open Development. As various urban developments are proposed, the “O”
District will be rezoned to the appropriate zoning district.

3. Outlot A, Carlson Bluffs: PRD-87, Planned Residential Development No. 87; and
4. 3700 Chaska Blvd (former Shram Haus Brewery site): I2, Restricted Industrial
District
Land Use Issue Identification and Staff Analysis:
Comprehensive Plan: The site includes roughly 18 net acres, including the new right-of-
way area. The development would have a calculated density of 1.5 dwelling units per
net acre. This is below the comprehensive plan's minimum density guidance3.
The proposed calculated density for 27 homes is 1.5 homes per net acre, including local
streets. This is below the comprehensive plan’s requirement. Staff did not include or
calculate density for the former Schram Haus property (3700 Chaska Blvd), as it is only
being used for access and no development is proposed under this proposal.
Zoning: The properties currently zoned O, Open Development, PRD-81, and PRD-87
would likely be rezoned to a new PRD, Planned Residential Development. This would
provide a unified zoning designation for the development. Staff does not anticipate
rezoning the future Schram Haus Brewery property (3700 Chaska Blvd), as no
redevelopment is proposed for that site as part of this application.
Site Design
The site would be 5 ft walkway
regraded to construct
the new homes, road Soaring Eagle
access, utilities, and Parkway
stormwater facilities.
The following is
intended to
summarize the site
design-related items Soaring Eagle
Court
and staff’s findings:
Lot Configurations: Future road
Newly created lot connection
sizes would range Figure 11: Proposed new road and walkway
from roughly 13,500
sq. ft. to 116,700 sq. ft. Lot widths would range from roughly 70 feet to 405 feet. A detailed
lot dimension summary can be found in the Supporting Information section of this report.
Road Access:
Access to the proposed lots would be provided by Soaring Eagle Parkway and Soaring Eagle
Court.
Soaring Eagle Parkway is planned as a future connection that will ultimately connect
3 The former Schram Haus Brewery property was not included in the density calculation as it’s being included for access only.
Page 327 of 436Percheron Blvd and Chaska Blvd. Until that connection is completed, the proposed roadway
would terminate within the development and include a temporary turnaround to
accommodate emergency and service vehicles.
Trails and Sidewalks:
A 5-foot “walkway” along the north side of Soaring Eagle Parkway and the east side of
Soaring Eagle Court, providing pedestrian connectivity throughout the development and to
future trail connection.
Tree removal:
A tree inventory has not yet
been submitted. However,
the site is known to be
heavily wooded and contains
a dense Southern Mesic
Maple-Basswood Forest (see
Fig. 13).
A tree inventory and
preservation plan will be
required to identify significant
trees, evaluate proposed tree
removal, and ensure
compliance with city
Figure 12: Viewshed Exhibit – tree cover
ordinances.
Grading:
Per the applicant’s
narrative, the site will be Wooded
mass-graded to prepare for steep slope
impacts
the construction of the
proposed roadway and
residential building pads.
Grading onto
At this time, the applicant Lano
has submitted only a property
conceptual grading plan
contemplating grading for Figure 13: Conceptual grading plan
the construction of Soaring
Eagle Parkway (the proposed east-west connection). A comprehensive grading plan for the
entire site has not yet been provided for staff review.
The conceptual grading plan indicates that construction of Soaring Eagle Parkway may
require impacts within wooded steep-slope areas and grading extending onto the adjacent
property at 3730 Chaska Blvd (Lano property).
Page 328 of 436 Stormwater basin
Utilities and
stormwater:
Watermain
Public utilities are not Sanitary sewer
currently available to
the site.
The applicant
proposes extending
sanitary sewer and
water service to the
site by directional
boring under Chaska
Blvd to connect to the
existing utilities to the Figure 14: Conceptual Utility Plan
east.
The proposal also includes extending a watermain through the adjacent property at 3730
Chaska Blvd (Lano Property) to create a looped watermain system4.
A stormwater management plan has not been submitted. A possible location for a
stormwater facility has been identified on the plans. However, a detailed stormwater
management plan and grading plan is required to ensure compliance with City and
watershed requirements.
Wetland and Waterways
No wetlands were identified on site. Stream 2
However, two waterways were
delineated within the northern Stream 1
portion of the site/ along the
northern property line:
1. Stream 1 flows from southwest to
northeast before discharging into
Stream 2. No flowing water was
observed during the Oct. 2025
field investigation.
2. Stream 2 flows west to northeast
and contained flowing water
during the Oct. 2025 field
investigation.
Figure 15: Delineated waterways
Both waterways are subject to
applicable stream buffer requirements. Based on the site’s topography and available
4 Looping watermains provides many benefits, including: (1) improved water quality by reducing stagnant water; (2) enhanced fire
protection through increased reliability and flow capacity; (3) greater system redundancy by allowing sections of the watermain to
be isolated for maintenance and repairs without interrupting service to the entire area; and (4) more consistent water pressure
throughout the service area.
Page 329 of 436exhibits, staff anticipates that much, if not all, of the required buffer areas will overlap with
the wooded steep slope protection areas. Regardless, the waterways and their associated
buffer boundaries must be accurately delineated and shown on future grading and site
plans.
Site Design Issue Identification and Staff Analysis:
Lot configurations: As
currently proposed,
properties extend into the 30-foot no mow/
no grade setback
three wooded steep-slope
areas identified on the
site (shown in green in
Fig. 17).
Staff’s standard
recommendation is to
locate rear property lines
at 30-foot no mow/ no
grade setback from the
wooded steep slope. This
approach places the Figure 17: Vista Ridge – Concept Plan
conservation area outside
of private ownership, providing the highest level of protection for the wooded steep
slopes and reducing the potential for easement encroachment.
A similar situation occurred with the
adjacent Carlson Bluffs development, 30-foot no mow/
also developed by Johnson – Reiland no grade setback
Homes. The original concept plan encroachments
included rear yards extended into the
wooded steep slopes. As a condition of
approval, the rear lot lines were
adjusted to generally follow the no
grade/ no mow setback for most lots.
Two encroachment areas were
ultimately approved with the Preliminary Figure 18: Carlson Bluffs - Preliminary Plat
and Final Plats (as shown in Fig. 18,
right). Conservation and platted easements were required to identify and protect those
conservation areas.
To remain consistent with the City’s standard practice, staff recommends revising the lot
lines to follow the no-mow/no-grade setback. Additional justification and supporting
information would be needed to support encroachments.
Staff has also included conditions of approval requiring additional information for:
Page 330 of 436 1. The impacts of the proposed access arrangement through the former Schram Haus
brewery property (3700 Chaska Blvd), including any resulting modifications to lot
configuration,
necessary right-of-
way easements, and Clarification areas
property lines.
2. The northern
boundary. Based on
the submitted plans,
Outlot H, Ensconced
Woods, does not
appear to be
depicted consistently
across all exhibits or
the Ensconced
Woods plat. This
Figure 19: Clarification areas
should be clarified
and depicted
correctly (Fig. 19).
Street Design: The SW Chaska Plan contemplated three conceptual development
alternatives, each of which included a local connector roadway with an accompanying
trail, between Big Woods Blvd and Chaska Blvd (see Fig. 20):
Figure 20: SW Chaska Plan – Explored Alternatives
The preferred growth and development plan ultimately planned for this future roadway
slightly south of the development site, primarily on the adjacent property on the
adjacent property at 3730 Chaska Blvd (Lano Property). The roadway would intersect
Chaska Blvd near the existing Edgehill Road/Chaska Blvd intersection before continuing
east toward 1st Street W and Downtown Chaska. This critical alignment connecting SW
Chaska and the future SW Chaska Park to downtown Chaska is also reflected in the
2040 Comprehensive Plan.

In 2018, Carver County completed the “CSAH 61/TH41 Improvements Project” study,
which establishes long-term access and roadway improvements along Chaska Blvd
(CSAH 61) between
Engler Blvd (CSAH 10) Access 1:
and County Road 11 to Edgehill Rd
the west.
Access 2:
The corridor plan 3700 Chaska
Blvd
identifies two future full
access points near the
development site (see
Fig. 23):
Figure 23: Carver County CSAH 61/TH41 Corridor Plan
1. Access 1 - Edgehill
Road: This access is
intended to serve the future connecter roadway;
2. Access 2 - 3700 Chaska Blvd (former Schram Haus Brewery property): This access is
intended to support future development.
The plan also identifies the need for turn lanes at both intersections to improve safety.
In 2025, staff completed the Percheron Boulevard Extension – Alternative Route
Concepts study to evaluate potential roadway connections between Percheron to Chaska
Boulevard. The study recognized that any future connection has two major challenges:
(1) soil concerns associated with the gravel mining on the 3730 Chaska Blvd (Lano
property); and (2) the area's significant topography and likely steep slope impacts.
Three alternative alignments were evaluated (Fig. 24 on following page):
1. Alternative 3 was quickly eliminated due to soil and feasibility concerns associated
with the gravel pit, as well as conflicts with the County Road 40 intersection to the
west.
Page 332 of 436 2. Alternative 1 generally aligns with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan alignment but likely
results in the greatest amount of steep slope impacts.
3. Alternative 2 has the least amount of soil stability concerns and steep slope impacts.
The access also aligns with one of the full-access intersections identified in the
County’s corridor study and supports future redevelopment of 3700 Chaska Blvd
(former Schram Haus Brewery property) and 525 Creekridge Drive (Total Loss site).
As such, staff acknowledged that additional engineering and design information is
needed to fully evaluate any future proposed alignment but generally supports the
continued exploration of Alternative 2 as an acceptable roadway connection.
Alternative 3
Alternative 1
Alternative 2
Figure 24: Percheron Blvd. Extension - Alternate Route Concepts study
The developer’s proposal generally follows the Alternative 2 alignment by relocating the
future roadway connection roughly 620 feet northeast, shifting the intersection from the
previously contemplated Edgehill Road/ Chaska Road intersection location to the existing
access at 3700 Chaska Blvd (former Schram Haus Brewery).
Access and Spacing: Chaska Blvd is classified as a Minor Arterial Reliever5. Under current
City access management standards, intersections along minor arterials should be spaced
at least 1,320 feet (quarter mile)6 apart. The alignment identified in the Southwest
Chaska Plan and the 2040 Comprehensive Plan meets this standard.
5 A-Minor arterials are defined by the Metropolitan Council as roadways of regional importance as they serve to relieve, expand, or
complement the principal arterial system.

spacing requirement with respect to the
County Road 40 intersection to the west.

A variance to the City’s subdivision
ordinance may also be required to address
the reduced intersection spacing, subject
to further review by the City. Figure 25: Road alignment context
The developer has indicated that the proposed alignment is because the soils on the
Lano property are unsuitable for roadway construction, and the Lanos are not ready to
develop.
Additionally, the developer has
indicated that the proposed alignment
would not impact the adjacent historical
marker. However, current plans do not Proposed roadway

confirm (see Fig. 26). The developer
will need to demonstrate that the
proposed access and associated
improvements would avoid impacts to Existing historical

State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO). Figure 26: Concept Plan - access
Grading:
The conceptual grading plan indicates that the construction of the proposed roadway
would require a six-foot retaining wall and grading impacts within the wooded steep
slope and would extend grading onto the adjacent 3730 Chaska Blvd (Lano) Property.
Within the development, just over 80 feet of grade change along the 1800 feet of new
roadway (Soaring Eagle Parkway). While this is an average of 0.04 percent, the grading
plan identifies a roadway grade of approximately 14 percent grade change (eastern
portion of the alignment and wooded steep slope area).

City subdivision standards limit local streets to a maximum grade of 8 percent. Based on
the information submitted, the proposed roadway exceeds this standard.
SUBDIVISION STREET STANDARDS
Subdivision Standards Proposed
Minimum ROW width 60 feet 60 feet
Minimum pavement width 32 feet 33 feet
Maximum grade 8% 14%
Additional grading, engineering analysis, and design information are needed to evaluate
the proposed alignment, intersection location, grading, impacts to wooded steep slopes
and adjacent properties, driveway connections to proposed lots, and compliance with
the City’s subdivision and engineering standards.
Sidewalk and trail connections: The
plans propose a 5-foot “walkway” Proposed
along the north side of Soaring trail through
Eagle Parkway and the east side of site
Soaring Eagle Court. A five-foot-
wide sidewalk is generally
appropriate for a single-dwelling-
unit neighborhood and is consistent
with City standards7.
However, both the 2040 Figure 28: 2040 Comprehensive Plan - Trail Map

To accommodate the connection
and consistency with adjacent
developments, staff
recommends: Figure 29: 2040 Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan
1. Sidewalks on both sides of Soaring Eagle Court;
2. A sidewalk on the north side of Soaring Eagle Parkway; and
3. Minimum 8-foot shared-use trails identified in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and
2040 Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. This includes the trail on south side of
Soaring Eagle Parkway and the trail bisecting the property from Percheron (and
Savanna Way further west) and Big Woods Blvd (to the northeast).
Tree removal: Per the applicant’s narrative “we anticipate that the site will be mass
graded where roadways and home pads are planned, which will include tree removal to
prepare for home construction. Every reasonable effort will be made to save the trees
within the grading area, and those areas will not be removed as part of the initial
grading activities.“
At this time, the developer has not
submitted a tree inventory or a
comprehensive grading and
landscaping plan for the entire site. Development
As a result, staff is unable to fully area
evaluate the extent of the proposed
tree removal, potential impacts to
significant trees, or compliance with
City standards.
As such, staff included conditions of
approval requiring the applicant to Figure 30: SW Chaska Plan - Preferred Growth and Development
submit: Plan
1. A tree inventory and preservation plan identifying existing trees, proposed tree
removals, and trees to be protected. The preservation plan must be overlaid with a
grading plan and also identify tree impacts exceeding 30% of trees within the
wooded steep slope areas.
2. An exhibit identifying tree preservation limits and the proposed tree protection
measures to be implemented during construction.
3. A landscaping plan identifying the location of subdivision trees.

The developer will need to gain access to the Percheron Blvd. watermain, which will
require coordination with the Lano property. Additional engineering information is also
needed to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed utility alignments, confirm adequate
maintenance access, and demonstrate compliance with City engineering standards.
New homes:
The concept plan includes the construction of 27 detached single-dwelling units and is
summarized as:
Page 337 of 436 Building type and design:
The developer anticipates
constructing custom-built homes
similar to other Johnson Reiland
Home developments within

Building Issue Identification and Staff Analysis
Building Design: Based on the conceptual information submitted, the proposed homes
appear to be consistent with other Johnson Reiland Homes developments in Chaska.
Additional information regarding architectural elevations, exterior building materials,
building heights, and floor plans will be needed to verify compliance with City standards.
Additionally, all new homes within the development will be subject to the City’s
architecture and anti-monotony ordinances8. These items have been added as conditions
8 By CZO 15.28.290, new houses:
may not be similar to any house within two houses to each side, directly across the street, or diagonally;
provide LP Smartside on the front elevations, at least 4-inch window trim on all windows, and provide varied
color packages; and
are subject to 360-architecture on homes/ elevations abutting major roadways.
Page 338 of 436 of approval.
Setbacks: The proposed setbacks are generally consistent with those approved in
adjacent developments. However, there is no established side yard setback for corner
lots. While this was not an issue in Carlson Bluffs because the development did not
contain any corner lots, this proposal does. As a condition of approval, a 15-foot side-
yard setback for corner lots should be added for consistency.

project summary
The following narrative provides a summary and overview of the proposed Concept Plan for Vista Ridge.
Located adjacent and southeast of the Ensconced Woods first addition, Rivertown Heights second addition,
and Carlson Bluffs, Vista Ridge will provide opportunities for larger lots overlooking the creek, with custom
homes planned throughout the neighborhood. Per the City’s Concept Plan submission requirements, this
narrative provides a summary of the proposed project, land use and zoning, environmental considerations,
infrastructure and access.
Vista Ridge | Concept Plan 1
Page 351 of 436 project description
Vista Ridge LLC, the Developer and Applicant, is proposing to develop the Property for a new residential
neighborhood with single-family lots, open spaces and curvilinear roadways. The proposed project includes
27 single-family lots nestled into the surrounding wooded areas. Boarded by protected wooded steep slopes
and the creek along the north perimeter, this site is tucked into a unique developable area that offers natural
vista views over the bluff. Access to the new homes is proposed from Chaska Boulevard (CSAH 61) with a
new single access road to be constructed with a 60-foot right-of-way along the south property line extending
to allow future access to adjacent properties to the southwest. The proposed access will utilize the existing
driveway location that currently serves the Schram Haus Brewery located north of the site. Realignment of
the access road will provide an improved access for both properties, creating a safer access onto CSAH 61.
Connecting to the new roadway is a quiet cul-de-sac for 13 new homes. Homes within the neighborhood will
OUTLOT A be oriented towards the new roadways, allowing for generous backyards, reducing impervious surface areas,
and protecting wooded areas.

existing conditions
The existing parcel is approximately 15.5 acres and is located southeast of the Ensconced Woods first addition,
Rivertown Heights second addition, and Carlson Bluffs. The parcel is irregular in shape and is adjacent to the
CSAH 61 right-of-way. Access to the parcel is off the site from a shared access with the adjacent parcel lying
north of the property (Scram Haus Brewery). This access will be realigned to allow for an improved, and safer,
access into both sites from CSAH 61. The site slopes up from the CSAH right-of-way towards the center
of the parcel before the site slopes down towards the creek which traverses the area east-west along the north
property line.
New residential uses are adjacent to the parcel to the north and west, with light industrial uses to the north and
south along the CSAH 61 right-of-way. The wooded slopes towards the creek to the north will be protected
from development and a conservation easement that will protect these areas into perpetuity. Due to the slopes
and creek in this area, the new roadway is not proposed to connect through to Ensconced Woods first addition.
Wooded areas within the developable area will be disturbed to construct the roadways and the new homes;
however, the larger lot sizes and custom homes will allow buyers to incorporate trees as part of the home and
lot design process.
Per available GIS records, there are no wetlands on the subject property and the parcel is not within a designated
floodplain.
Vista Ridge | Concept Plan 3
Page 353 of 436concept plan summary
The proposed Vista Ridge project will develop the site with 27 custom single-family homes, curvilinear
roadways, stormwater management and protected woodlands. Each lot will be carefully developed allowing
buyers to tailor their homes to meet their needs while ensuring that wooded areas, steep slopes and viewsheds
are protected. The proposed project will look and feel similar to neighboring residential developments, with
similar lot sizes, density and yard setbacks. The proposed Project will be developed at 2.0 dwelling units per
acre and will comply with the City’s Low Density Residential land use designation once the steep slopes and
protected areas are netted out. While our concept exceeds the City’s minimum width and area requirements,
we are requesting flexibility from the yard setback requirements. We believe that flexibility from the setback
standards will allow for improved positioning of the homes on each lot and will have the benefit of reducing
impervious surface areas (which is good for the surrounding environment.)
flexibility from base zoning
Our requests include:
• Front Yard Setback: The R-1 district requires a 30-foot setback, and we are proposing flexibility to allow
for a 23-foot setback. This will allow for shorter driveways and more efficient services to individual homes
while still supporting the character of the neighborhood.
• Rear Yard Setback: The R-1 district requires a 30-foot setback, and we are requesting flexibility to allow for
a 25-foot setback. Where yards abut interior features such as wood open space, steep slopes, or wetland
the reduced rear yard setback is unnoticed given the natural features. This allows for a better lot layout
throughout the project.
• Side Yard Setback: As demonstrated in the Ensconced Woods first addition, we are proposing a 5-foot
side yard setback which will allow for flexibility in home siting while maintaining a strong neighborhood
character from the street frontage.
Vista Ridge | Concept Plan 4
Page 354 of 436grading and tree preservation
We anticipate that the site will be mass graded where roadways and home pads are planned, which will include
tree removal to prepare for home construction. Every reasonable effort will be made to save trees within the
grading area, and those areas not within roadways, front yards and building pads will not be removed as part
of the initial site grading activities. We understand the value of woodlands to the City, and to our prospective
buyers, and we will make every reasonable effort to save trees that are healthy and viable post-construction.
The steep slopes will be protected, which will save a large portion of the existing woodland areas on the site.
Developing larger lots and reducing the front yard setbacks and interior rear yard setbacks will result in more
land within the dedicated outlots protecting more environmental resources for the future. This area includes
the Southern Mesic Maple-Basswood Forest cover type, which is made up of young to mature deciduous trees
that are typical of this native plant community. This plant community is commonly found associated with
ravines having moderate to steep slopes in this part of Carver County along the Minnesota River Valley and
through careful planning this site we will protect more of it for generations to come.
infrastructure
We are proposing a public road connection from Chaska Boulevard as shown in the attached Concept Plan.
This connection will provide pedestrian, bicycle, or vehicle access into downtown Chaska, and allow easy
access to County Road 41 and the new community park. While it is not proposed as part of the project at
this time, Soaring Eagle Drive may be extended to provide connection to Percheron Blvd in the future. The
project is proposed to be served by municipal services including extension of the municipal water supply and
sanitary sewer.
Vista Ridge | Concept Plan 5
Page 355 of 436mission + core strategies
Chaska’s Mission...to be the “Best Small Town in Minnesota”
The proposed Vista Ridge is a new neighborhood with custom single-family home opportunities that blend
seamlessly with adjacent development. Contiguous to existing development, roadways and utilities will be
extended supporting the City’s mission to provide opportunities for efficient and orderly growth.
Consistency with key Core Strategies
• Sense of community and small town values
The development’s location provides residents with convenient access to local parks, trails, recreational
facilities, and community events, supporting an active and high quality of life. By adding new housing
inventory within the City, the project helps ensure that residents can continue to live, work, and
participate in the community while supporting the local economy and workforce. The project will
provide a thoughtfully designed neighborhood that respects the character of the surrounding area and
is consistent with surrounding residential development. The development will introduce new housing
opportunities and styles that support Chaska’s small-town character and quality of life.
• Well-planned and orderly development
The Vista Ridge neighborhood is contiguous to adjacent residential development and is a natural
continuation of orderly development in the area. The subdivision layout, lot configuration, streetscape
design, landscaping, and architectural integrity will create an attractive neighborhood environment
that enhances the appearance of the community and promotes long-term property maintenance and
investment. The project has been planned in coordination with available municipal infrastructure and
will be served by utilities designed in accordance with City standards.
• Commitment to excellence
Johnson Reiland Builders & Remodelers is an experienced developer who has brought high-quality
residential development projects to the City of Chaska - including the existing neighborhoods to the
north and west of the project site. Home designs will embrace and compliment the unique site features,
slopes, and woodland areas. Streetscapes will be vegetated and maintained, and homes will be designed
thoughtfully with consistent architectural detailing. The neighborhood will feature a complimentary
mix of varied housing styles, quality materials, and professionally installed landscaping. This will be a
direct extension of what has been built in the neighboring developments of the Ensconced Woods first
addition, Rivertown Heights second addition, and Carlson Bluffs.

REQUEST FOR ACTION
CHASKA CITY COUNCIL
7/20/26
Subject: Authorize Letter of Intent for TIF Assistance to Proposed Big Woods
Business Park (North) Phase I project
Prepared By: Julie Grove, Economic Development Coordinator
Background
On June 15, 2026, the City Council approved the Big Woods Business Park (North) Phase I
Preliminary Site & Building Plan, Preliminary Plat & Comprehensive Plan Amendment for a 218,000
square foot distribution center and Phase I public improvements including road infrastructure,
utilities, trails and grading for the entire north business park. The project is located in the SW
Chaska Business Park. The Council is expected to consider the final Site and Building Plan in August
or September 2026. Construction is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2026. To help make the
construction of the public improvements financially feasible, the developer, Scannell Properties,
has submitted an application requesting Tax Increment Financing (TIF) assistance.
Figure 1: Existing Location & Context Map
Specifically, Phase I is anticipated to include:
• Construction of the Phase I facility and associated parking and site improvements.
• Public improvements to Big Woods Boulevard and construction of Public Road A
serving Big Woods Business Park North.
• Extension of sanitary sewer, water, and related public utilities from Chaska Creek
Boulevard south across the ravine and through the development area.
• Mass grading throughout Big Woods Business Park North to balance site elevations
and establish finished grades necessary to support future development parcels.

Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a public financing tool that allows the City to support eligible
development and infrastructure projects by using the future increase in property tax revenue
generated by the development to reimburse approved eligible project costs.
Consistent with the City’s TIF Policy, assistance may be considered for industrial projects that
expand the tax base, create business opportunities, generate high-quality jobs, support public
infrastructure investment, and would not occur without public assistance.
In Chaska, the TIF process begins with a Letter of Intent, followed by negotiation of a TIF Plan
and TIF Agreement outlining the project scope, financing, and eligible costs. Upon approval by
the City Council and EDA, the TIF District may be established and certified, allowing the project
to proceed to grading and construction. Typically, the TIF review process runs simultaneously to
the planning review process.
Letter of Intent
The proposed Phase I project is expected to provide significant benefits, including:
• Approximately 200 new full-time jobs with average annual wages of approximately
$60,000.
• An additional estimated 400 additional jobs related to distribution and delivery activities.
• Expansion and diversification of Chaska’s industrial employment base.
• Growth of commercial and industrial tax base benefiting the City, County, and School
District.
• Construction of public infrastructure, including roads and utilities, that will serve both the
Phase I development and future development areas within the north business park.
• Creation of development-ready industrial sites that can attract additional private
investment and future employers.
2
Page 370 of 436In order, to construct the project, the developer must make significant upfront investments in
public infrastructure, including new roads, utility extensions, mass grading and site preparation.
These improvements are needed not only for the Phase I facility but also to prepare the entire
northern portion of the business park for future industrial development.
The project qualifies for TIF assistance under the City’s TIF policy as an eligible industrial
development and is eligible to be established as an eight-year Economic Development TIF District.
While the Phase I development would serve as the basis for creating the TIF district and
generating tax increment, the end user of Phase I is not requesting TIF assistance for construction
of the Phase I warehouse building or any associated private improvements. Instead, the
requested TIF assistance is being requested by the developer and would be used solely to
reimburse eligible public infrastructure and site development costs that support the overall Big
Woods Business Park North development.
Under the City’s policy, eligible industrial projects may receive TIF assistance in an amount up to
two times the amount of property taxes generated by the completed project, or up to three times
those taxes if the project reserves sufficient land to accommodate a future building expansion of
at least 50%.
The developer has requested TIF assistance equal to three times the property taxes generated
by the Phase I facility, along with any remaining increment generated within the district, to help
finance the extraordinary upfront costs of constructing the public infrastructure needed to develop
the entire business park.
This project differs from a typical industrial development because the public infrastructure needed
to serve the site is being constructed by the developer rather than the City. Usually, with industrial
development that has multiple phases, the City would construct the public roads, utilities, and
other infrastructure needed to support new development as projects move forward. In this case,
the end user has an accelerated construction schedule that cannot be accommodated through
the City's normal infrastructure installation timeframe. To meet that timeline, the developer has
agreed to design and construct the required public infrastructure to City standards, assume the
associated financial and construction risk, and complete improvements that will ultimately serve
not only the Phase I development but also future industrial development throughout the northern
portion of Big Woods Business Park.
As a result, the project includes extraordinary upfront public infrastructure costs that would not
typically be incurred as part of a single industrial development. After reviewing the project, City
staff and the City's financial consultant, Baker Tilly, concluded that these costs create a financing
hardship that would not otherwise exist under a more typical development scenario. Staff also
notes that the requested TIF assistance would be used solely to reimburse eligible public
infrastructure and site development costs that benefit the broader business park. No TIF
assistance would be used for construction of the Phase I building or other private building
improvements.
Based on this review, staff recommends the following TIF framework, outlined in the attached
Letter of Intent, for consideration:
• Establish an Economic Development TIF District for the Phase I project.
3
Page 371 of 436 • Provide TIF assistance equal to three (3) times the annual property taxes generated by
the Phase I development, plus any remaining excess tax increment generated within the
TIF District. The City would retain up to twenty percent (20%) of the tax increment for
statutory pooling and administrative costs (this percentage is still under negotiation),
and fiscal disparities will not be deducted from the total benefit. The final amount of TIF
assistance is still being negotiated and will be subject to final project costs, valuation,
tax capacity, financial analysis and City approval.
• Structure the assistance as a Pay-As-You-Go TIF Note.
• Assistance will include certification of final costs following the completion of Phase 1, and
a one-time "Lookback" review approximately one year after project stabilization and
completion of the public improvements to confirm the completed project is substantially
consistent with the assumptions used to evaluate the TIF request. The results of this
review may be used to adjust the final amount and terms of the TIF assistance as provided
in the TIF Agreement.
• Limit TIF reimbursements to eligible public infrastructure costs, including Public Road A,
utility extensions, grading, and other qualifying public improvements that benefit the
overall northern business park. No TIF proceeds may be used for construction of the Phase
I facility including the warehouse building or other private improvements.
• Require the developer to construct the Phase I project in accordance with the approved
plans and obtain a Certificate of Occupancy.
• The developer agrees to participate in the City's due diligence process, including an
independent review of project financials to determine the need for, and appropriate
amount of, TIF assistance.
Although the proposed Phase I TIF assistance exceeds the level typically contemplated under the
City’s TIF Policy, staff believes this approach is appropriate because the Phase I developer is
constructing public infrastructure that will directly benefit future development throughout Big
Woods Business Park North.
To ensure the overall development, beyond Phase I, remains consistent with the intent of the
City’s TIF Policy, staff recommends that any TIF assistance provided above the City's standard
policy for Phase I (i.e. 2 or 3 times amount of property taxes) be treated as an advance investment
in the future development of the business park. The amount of assistance provided above the
policy would be allocated proportionately among future development parcels under the
developers ownership. As those parcels develop and request TIF assistance, their allocated share
of the Phase I assistance beyond the policy would be deducted from any future TIF assistance
that may be approved.
This approach recognizes that the Phase I developer is advancing the cost of infrastructure that
benefits the entire business park while helping ensure that, when all development phases are
considered cumulatively, the total TIF assistance provided across Big Woods Business Park North
remains closely aligned with the City's TIF Policy.
Future Development TIF Framework
• Chaska's objective is to apply its TIF Policy consistently across the entire Big Woods
Business Park North development area by evaluating TIF assistance on a cumulative basis
rather than by individual development phase.
4
Page 372 of 436 • Because the proposed Phase I TIF assistance exceeds the amount typically available under
the City's TIF Policy, the assistance provided above the policy level will be allocated among
future development parcels of the Big Wood Business Park North on a proportional square-
footage basis.
• As future development phases, under the control of the developer, request TIF assistance,
each phase's allocated share of the additional Phase I assistance will be deducted from
any TIF assistance that may otherwise be considered for that project (example 2x minus
the new lots Phase I share). This approach recognizes that the Phase I developer is
funding public infrastructure that benefits the entire business park while helping ensure
that total TIF assistance across all development phases remains generally consistent with
the City's TIF Policy.
• Future TIF districts may include eligible land acquisition, site development, and
infrastructure-related costs not previously constructed with Phase I.
• Each future development proposal will be evaluated independently based on the project,
financing gap, project economics, and anticipated public benefits. Nothing in this
framework guarantees the approval or availability of future TIF assistance.
The attached Letter of Intent (LOI), negotiated by city staff and the developer, outlines the
proposed TIF framework, key business terms as summarized in this report, and notes the
remaining items that are still under negotiation. While the parties have reached agreement on
the overall policy framework, some of the financial terms remain under negotiation. The final TIF
plan, TIF Agreement and financial terms, including the final amount of TIF assistance, will be
subject to completion of the required financial analysis, preparation of the TIF documents,
continued negotiations and review and approval by both the City Council and the EDA.
Approval of the LOI establishes the City’s intent to continue negotiating the proposed TIF
assistance under the framework outlined in the letter. The LOI is not a binding commitment to
provide TIF assistance or establish a TIF district. Any future TIF district and related TIF agreement
will be considered through separate public actions and approvals by the City Council and EDA.
Recommendation
The proposed TIF district supports industrial development in the SW Chaska Business Park, which
has been planned for some time. City staff recommend that the City Council authorize the City
Administrator to execute the Letter of Intent with the developer and initiate the process to
establish a TIF District including the preparation of the necessary TIF Plan and TIF Agreement
Documents.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to authorize the City Administrator to execute the Letter of Intent for TIF assistance to
the proposed Big Woods Business Park Project.

RE: Letter of Intent – Tax Increment Financing Assistance for Big Woods Business Park Phase I
Dear Mr. Kurth:
On behalf of the City of Chaska (the “City”) and the City of Chaska Economic Development
Authority (“EDA,” and both individually and collectively with the City, “Chaska”), we are pleased
to express the City's support for the proposed development of Big Woods Business Park Phase I
located within the Southwest Business Park area.
Based on the City Council's approval on June 15, 2026, of the Preliminary Plat, Site and Building
Plan, Rezoning, and Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Big Woods Business Park Phase I (PC
2026-08), Chaska recognizes the significant economic development opportunity represented by
this project and is supportive of moving forward with the proposed development.
Chaska's understanding of the Phase I development includes the construction of approximately
218,000 square feet of warehouse and distribution center (the “Phase I Facility”) together with
associated parking, site improvements, construction of a new public roadway including utility
extensions to support the entire business park beyond phase I, and site grading necessary to
support both the initial development and future industrial growth within Big Woods Business
Park North (as approved o in Preliminary Site plan casefile PC 2026-08).
Specifically, Phase I is anticipated to include:
• Construction of the Phase I Facility and associated parking and site improvements.
• Public improvements to Big Woods Boulevard and construction of Public Road A serving
Big Woods Business Park North.
• Extension of sanitary sewer, water, and related public utilities from Chaska Creek
Boulevard south across the ravine and through the development area.
• Mass grading throughout Big Woods Business Park North to balance site elevations and
establish finished grades necessary to support future development parcels.
Chaska believes the project will provide substantial public benefits, including:
• Creation of approximately 200 direct jobs with average annual wages estimated at
approximately $60,000.

Page 374 of 436
CITY OF CHASKA
ONE CITY HALL PLAZA / CHASKA MN 55318-1962
• Support for an estimated 400 additional jobs associated with distribution and delivery
activities.
• Expansion and diversification of Chaska's industrial employment base.
• Significant public infrastructure investments, including roads, and utilities that will serve
both Phase I and future development areas.
• Increased commercial and industrial tax base for the City, County, and School District.
• Creation of development-ready sites that will attract additional private investment and
high-quality industrial users within the Southwest Business Park.
Chaska also recognizes that the project requires substantial upfront investment in public
infrastructure, including roadway construction, utility extensions across challenging
topography, and extensive site preparation activities necessary to make the property
developable. These improvements are intended to serve not only the Phase I Facility but also
future development of parcels throughout Big Woods Business Park North.
Based on information provided by Scannell Properties and Chaska and its financial consultants
review of the project, Chaska acknowledges that the extraordinary cost of these public
improvements creates a financing gap that would not otherwise exist under typical industrial
development conditions. Chaska further understands that requested Tax Increment Financing
(“TIF”) assistance would be utilized solely for eligible public infrastructure and site development
costs associated with the entire north industrial park and would not be used for the
construction of the Phase I warehouse building or its building components.
Subject to completion of Chaska’s underwriting, financial review, and approval of all required
TIF documentation, Chaska is prepared to consider the following TIF assistance framework for
Phase I:
• Establishment of a TIF District for Phase I consistent with the development proposal
approved by the City Council on June 15, 2026.
• TIF assistance equal to three (3) times the annual property taxes generated by the Phase
I development, plus any remaining excess tax increment generated within the TIF
District. Chaska would retain up to twenty percent (20%) of the tax increment for
statutory pooling and administrative costs (this percentage is still under negotiation),
and fiscal disparities will not be deducted from the total benefit. The final amount of TIF
assistance is still being negotiated and will be subject to final project costs, valuation,
tax capacity, financial analysis and City approval.
• Assistance to be structured as a Pay-As-You-Go Tax Increment Financing Note.
• Retained pooling may be adjusted to accommodate needs of eligible project costs
outside of the immediate area of Phase I.
• Assistance will include certification of final costs following the completion of Phase 1,
and a one-time Lookback review approximately one year following stabilization of the

CITY OF CHASKA

Phase I Development and completion of related infrastructure improvements to
evaluate whether the completed project is substantially consistent with the
development and financial assumptions made in evaluating the TIF request. The results
of such review may be considered by Chaska in determining the final amount and terms
of the TIF assistance, as set forth in the TIF Agreement.
• TIF proceeds to be used solely for reimbursement of eligible public infrastructure costs
related to the entire north industrial park, including construction of Public Road A, utility
extensions, grading, and related public improvements constructed by the developer and
dedicated or benefiting the public development area.
• The developer agrees to participate in the City's due diligence process, including an
independent review of project financials to determine the need for, and appropriate
amount of, TIF assistance.
• Developer agrees to build the Phase I Development according to the approved building
plans and successfully obtain a certificate of occupancy
• Negotiate a business subsidy agreement, if required.
• Pay the required $10,000 administrative fee for City economic development assistance.
Future Development Phases
Recognizing that the infrastructure improvements constructed as part of the Phase I
Development will provide substantial benefit to future development parcels within Big Woods
Business Park North, Chaska intends to work collaboratively with the developer to evaluate TIF
assistance for future phases as development occurs.
Chaska's current intent is to establish separate TIF Districts for future development phases or
parcels within Big Woods Business Park North as individual development projects are proposed.
For future TIF requests, Chaska anticipates the following framework:
• The proportionate share of excess TIF assistance provided through Phase I will be
deducted from any future TIF assistance being considered for subsequent development
phases.
• The excess TIF assistance provided in the Phase I Development will be allocated among
future development parcels on a proportional square footage basis. As future parcels
develop, their allocated share of the Phase I Development excess assistance will be
repaid through a corresponding reduction in future TIF assistance.
• Eligible costs for future TIF districts may include land acquisition and related
development costs. In particular, future TIF assistance may be used to offset increased
land costs attributable to the public road, utility, grading, and infrastructure
improvements constructed as part of Phase I.

• Chaska's objective is to apply its TIF policy consistently across the overall Big Woods
Business Park North development area, with assistance levels evaluated on a cumulative
basis.
• Each future phase will be independently evaluated to determine whether additional TIF
assistance is warranted based upon the specific development proposal, project
economics, financing gap, and public benefits being provided. CHASKA DOES NOT
GUARANTY THE APPROVAL OR AVAILABILITY OF FUTURE TIF ASSISTANCE.
Chaska appreciates the opportunity to partner with you on this significant economic
development project and recognizes the substantial benefits it is expected to provide the
community. The proposed investment will support the continued growth in Chaska’s industrial
and employment base, create quality jobs, expand the city’s commercial tax base, and expand
critical infrastructure that will facilitate future development opportunities within SW Chaska.
We look forward to working collaboratively with you as the project progresses and to establishing a
successful partnership that supports both the Phase I development and growth within the business
park.
Any assistance remains subject to completion of financial underwriting, negotiation and
execution of definitive TIF and development agreements, preparation of required TIF
documentation, public hearings, and approval by the City Council and Board of the EDA as well
as the remaining land use entitlements.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 952-227-7529.
Sincerely,
Matt Podhradsky
City Administrator
By signing this letter, I am in agreement with the above stated conditions being utilized to draft a TIF
Agreement for this project. I understand that signing this letter does not guaranty the approval or
availability of any TIF Assistance by Chaska.

COUNCIL MEETING/WORK SESSION SCHEDULE
Below is a list ofMatt the upcomingPodhradsky Council Meetings and Work Sessions to plan for:
July 20th: We will be having a Work Session on Monday night from 5:30-7 pm in the Council
Chambers to talk about the final recommended plans for SW Community Park. In this meeting
we will talk about what Staff’s final recommendations are, what recommendations/feedback is
coming out of the Park Board, what budget we have targeted for this project, and also talk
about the proposed timeline for getting this park built. Our hope would be to get final feedback
from the Council and if people seem to be in general agreement to have an item that we would
bring back to one of our August meetings to formally approve the plan and budget, authorizing
Staff to move forward with putting together construction documents for the plan, and to start
planning for grading of the site, which could come as quickly as October. Besides this, we will
have a number of items on the Council agenda for Monday night including our annual Auditor’s
Report, two Planning cases coming forward, additional Economic Development Work on our
new Industrial Park as well as several smaller items.
August 3rd: Prior to the Council meeting on August 3rd, from 5:30-7 in the Council Chambers,
we will be having our first work session to address our 2027 budget. Specifically, our first
meeting will focus on our proposed tax levy (as we do need to establish the preliminary tax levy
in September) and will also look generally at trends we are seeing that affect revenues going
into the 2027 year. Following this work session we will have a regular Council meeting, which
will include the final financing package for the construction of the new Water Treatment Plant
facility.
August 17th: At this time we are not planning on having a Work Session on this night. We will
have a regular meeting starting at 7 pm where we will be considering all of the Planning Items
coming out of the planning commission, among other regular items.
August 31st: Prior to this Council meeting, from 5:30-7 in the City Council Chambers, we will
be holding a work session. The purpose of this work session revolves around continuing our
budget discussions, both reviewing what we discussed at the August 3rd meeting, and including
more focus on what we have budgeted to change within our 2027 General Fund Budget. Again,
this meeting is helping to prepare us for September when we will have to establish our
Preliminary Tax Levy for 2027. In September, if we need one additional meeting to discuss, we
would be able to do that at the September 14th meeting, with establishment of the Preliminary
Page 433 of 436Levy then occurring at our meeting on September 21st. We will determine whether that 3rd
Work Session is necessary after our second meeting in August.
Just a reminder that with the Memorial Day holiday falling on the first Monday of September,
that we will not have a meeting that night, but that our two meetings in September will fall on
September 14th and 21st. Just let me know if you are unable to attend any of these meetings.
MSB CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
If you were to drive out to the site now, you would see that two main activities are occurring.
First, the mass grading of the site is being completed to prep for both the parking lot and the
building itself. The site was already relatively ready for the building when we purchased it, so
this grading activity is limited. At the same time, the contractor did start pouring concrete for
the footings and foundation of the building. Based on schedule, the contractor needs to be
ready to accept the wall sections for the building the first week of October, with there being
approximately 4 weeks of putting up wall sections after that. If we are able to meet that
schedule, this should allow us to enclose the building prior to winter setting in.
While weather did have some initial impacts on slowing things down because of the very wet
conditions, that has clearly changed over the last week and a half where we are seeing hot and
dry weather. This is good weather to help us keep the project on schedule.
If you have any questions on the project, please let me know.
CITY HALL PLAZA
Starting on July 27th, you will see work start on the City Hall Plaza reconstruction. The focus of
the work at the beginning will be working on the plaza sections located on either side of the
History Center Building on the south end of the block. During this time period, the Library’s
main entrance will be unusable. We have worked with the library to move their temporary
entrance to the door on the south side of the building right off of 4th Street. While this is not
ideal, it will allow everyone to still enter the library space throughout the duration of the
project. As we move north through the project, it will also eventually affect City Hall’s main
entrance. With the old Police entrance available, and the sidewalk leading to it needing to
remain in tact throughout the entire project, we feel comfortable we will be able to navigate
that. Beyond those entrances, we are also working with the businesses on the plaza to talk
about how to maintain entrance into their buildings while still getting the work complete.
We do expect that given the timing of our start on this project that we should be able to get all
hardscape portions of the project completed before winter, including the heated sidewalk
component, which will make this sidewalk much safer during the winter. We would plan on
completing the landscaping/plantings in the Spring to give them the best chance for survival.
If you have any questions about this project, please let me know.
CLOVER RIDGE TREE REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
While the responsibility of maintaining/replacing trees in the boulevards of the Clover Ridge
Neighborhood is the responsibility of the Jonathan Association, I thought I should let you know
about a large project they will be undertaking next week, as I suspect it will get a lot of
Page 434 of 436attention. Specially, next week the Jonathan Association has contracted with a company to
remove all trees that are diseased or deceased from the Emerald Ash Borer Disease. If you
were to drive through the neighborhood now, you would see several trees marketed with a red
“X” that are planned to be removed. While this is an absolutely necessary project as these
trees become public safety hazards if they are not removed, it will certainly garner a lot of
attention given the sheer numbers of trees that are slated for removal. It will definitely have a
visual impact in the neighborhood.
Jonathan’s plan at this point is to have their contractor remove the trees throughout the
remainder of this month, with them planned to come back and grind stumps in August, and
then in September move to replace all of the trees that were removed. The City does have an
agreement with Jonathan that was established back in 2002 that defines how they approach
maintenance of trees and what their responsibilities are for replacement of removed trees.
I mention this to you because you may receive questions about this, and may have residents
thinking that it is City crews working on this operation. I wanted to make sure that you had the
latest on this, and know that if you have any questions come up on this that you can pass them
along to me.
Let me know if you have any questions regarding this item.
BAVARIA ROAD UPDATE
As you are likely aware, we are in the middle of our overlay project on Bavaria Road. This
project is stretching from the Victoria Border all the way down the roundabout at Pioneer Trail.
When setting up the project, we broke it into 3 equal sections starting with the north section
and moving south. The plan was to have each section done in 3 weeks.
While the first section was completed successfully and on time, the second section became
much more difficult because of the extreme hot weather we experienced this past week,
pushing out the completion of the second section into next week. This means that the third
section will be completed the week of July 27th instead of next week.
While it will take a little longer, we have been able to keep traffic open at all times to residents
in the area, so we hope we are having as little disruption as possible. It should be noted that
our project costs came in less than what we budgeted. Because of that, we area looking at
doing an overlay of Bavaria Road south of Hundertmark Road down to Engler. This would
happen later in the summer.
If you have any questions about this, please let me know. This will be a drastic improvement
over the conditions of this road up until now.
Upcoming Activities
Farmer’s Market: We have had good crowds since the start, with us getting up to 35 vendors
at the last market! This will continue every Thursday evening on the paseo between the
Chaska Depot Building and City Square Park where there will be music every Thursday night.
Page 435 of 436River City Days: This will happen the weekend of July 24-26th, with this being their 50th
anniversary. They will once again be in Lion’s Park
Night to Unite: This will happen on Tuesday August 4th, with several block parties scheduled
around the community. We will make sure to get you the list of parties, and just let us know if
you would like to ride with someone.
