Hinnenkamp INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Apri 1 8, 1993 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of St. Joseph St. Joseph. Minnesota We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of St. Joseph, Minnesota as of and for the year ended December 31, 1992, as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City.s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the general purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City of St. Joseph, Minnesota, as of December 31, 1992, and the results of its operations and cash flows of its proprietary fund type for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole. The combining and individual fund financial statements listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general purpose financial statements of City of St. Joseph, Minnesota. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole. ~~,~/~)tIJI KERN, DEWENTER, VIERE, LTD. 4 220 Park Avenue South P.O.

JOSEPH, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1992 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The City of St. Joseph, Minnesota, has a mayor-council form of government. A mayor and four council members are elected by the voters of the City for two-year and four-year tenms, respectively. The accounting policies of the City of St. Joseph conform to generally accepted accounting principles. A. Financial Reporting Entity For financial reporting purposes, in confonmance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board's codification section 2100, Defining the Governmental Reporting Entity, the City of St. Joseph includes all funds, account groups, departments, agencies, boards, commissions, and other organizations over which City officials exercise oversight responsibility. Oversight responsibility includes such duties as appointment of governing body members, budget review, approval of property tax levies, responsibility for funding deficits and for outstanding debt secured by the City's full faith and credit or revenues. As a result of applying the criteria of GASB codification section 2100, cer- tain organizations have been included or excluded from the City's financial statements. Excluded: St. Joseph Fire Department Relief Association Because the City does not have oversight responsibility, the financial statements of the St. Joseph Fire Department Relief Association are excluded. The Association is governed by a board elected by the members of the Association. The Board has total responsibility and authority for the administration of the affairs of the Association. B. Fund Accounting The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self- balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. 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 expending activities are controlled. The various funds are grouped, in the financial statements in this report, into five generic fund types and two broad fund categories, described on the following page. 10 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF ST. JOSEPH, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1992 (Continued) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) B. Fund Accounting (Continued) Governmental Funds The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than expendable trusts or major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. The City has one Special Revenue Fund. Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs. The City has eight Debt Service Funds. Capital Projects Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by proprietary funds). The City has four Capital Projects Funds. Proprietary Funds Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises--where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered through user charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of reve- nues earned, expenses incurred, or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes. The City maintains Refuse, Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds. C. Fixed Assets and Long-Term Liabilities The accounting and reporting treatment applied to the fixed assets and 10ng- term liabilities associated with a fund are determined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or "financial flow" measurement focus. This means that only current assets and current lia- bilities are generally included on their balance sheets. Their reported fund balance (net current assets) is considered a measure of "available spendable resources." Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of available spendable resources during a period. 11 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF ST. JOSEPH, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1992 (Continued) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) C. Fixed Assets and Long-Term Liabilities (Continued) Fixed assets used in governmental fund type operations (general fixed assets) are accounted for in the General Fixed Assets Account Group, rather than in governmental funds. Public domain ("infrastructure") general fixed assets consisting of certain improvements other than buildings, including roads, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, are not capitalized by the City. No depreciation has been provided on general fixed assets. All fixed assets are valued at their historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated fixed assets are valued at their estimated fair value on the date donated. Long-term liabilities expected to be financed from governmental funds are accounted for in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group, not in the governmental funds. The two account groups are not "funds". They are concerned only with the measurement of financial position. They are not involved with measurement of results of operations. Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types is limited to exclude amounts represented by non- current liabilities. Since they do not affect net current assets, such 10ng- term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities. They are instead reported as liabilities in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group. All proprietary funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources meas- urement focus. This means that all assets and all liabilities (whether cur- rent or non-current) associated with the funds' activity are included on their balance sheets. Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total assets. Depreciation of all exhaustible fixed assets used by proprietary funds is charged as an expense against their operations. Accumulated depreciation is reported on proprietary fund balance sheets. Depreciation has been provided over the assets' estimated useful lives, which range from five to fifty years, using the straight-line method. 12 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF ST. JOSEPH, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1992 . (Continued) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) D. Basis of Accounting Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurement made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. All governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting, in which revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets. The more significant revenues which have been accrued are intergovernmental revenues and interest earnings. Expenditures are generally recognized in the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund liability is incurred. Exceptions to this general rule include sick pay and principal and interest on general long-term debt, which are recognized when due. All proprietary funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting; revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when they are incurred. E. Budgetary Data The City Council adopts an annual budget. The amounts shown in the financial statements as "budget" represent the original budgeted amount and all revisions made during the year. The City follows these procedures in estab- lishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements. 1. In August of each year, the City Administrator submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following January 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them for the upcoming year. 2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comment. 3. Prior to December 31, the budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution. 4. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the General and Special Revenue Funds. Formal budget ary integration is not employed for Debt Service Funds because effective budgetary control is alternatively achieved through general obligation bond indenture provisions. Budgetary control for Capital Projects Funds is accomplished through the use of project controls. 5. The Budgets for the General and Special Revenue Funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). 13 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF ST. JOSEPH, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1992 (Continued) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) F. Encumbrances Encumbrances represent outstanding purchase orders and unfulfilled commitments that are issued to outside vendors and budgeted in th~ current year but do not include amounts that are set up as liabilities, amounts for personal services to be performed by City employees and purchase orders applicable to the subsequent year's budget. As of December 31, 1992, no outstanding encumbrances existed. G. Cash and Investments (Including Cash Equivalents) (See Note 3) Cash balances from all funds are combined and invested to the extent available in authorized investments. Earnings from such investments are allocated to the respective funds on the basis of applicable cash balance participation by each fund. Investments are carried at cost which approximates market. Any premiums or discounts are amortized over the maturity of the investment. For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows of proprietary fund types, cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments that are both: a. readily convertible to known amounts of cash, or b. so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. The City's policy considers cash equivalents to be those that meet the above criteria and have original maturities of three months or less. H. Taxes Receivable Delinquent taxes receivable represent the past six years of uncollected tax levies. Deferred taxes receivable represent the levy collectible in 1993. I. Special Assessments Receivable Delinquent special assessments represent the past six years of uncollected special assessments. Deferred special assessments are those assessments to property owners for improvements made by the City. These assessments are made at various times by City resolution and are collectible over periods ranging from ten to thirty years and bear annual interest of 8 percent to 11.5 percent and are to be received in 1993 and years thereafter. Deferred special assessments represent the principal portion of those assessments to property owners for improvements made by the City and are to be paid in 1993 and years thereafter. 14 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF ST. JOSEPH, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1992 (Continued) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) J. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue represents delinquent and deferred taxes and assessments receivable. This revenue is deferred until it is measurable and available as net current assets. K. Compensated Absences The City compensates employees who leave City service in good standing for all of their earned, unused vacation. In addition, employees are compensated for their unused sick leave (up to a maximum of 90 days) at 50% of the current regular rate of pay provided the City's notice of termination policy has been complied with. L. Fund Equity Fund equity is divided into sections as follows: - Contributed capital represents fixed assets purchased by other funds and contributed to the enterprise funds. - Retained earnings of enterprise funds are subdivided as follows: The reserved account represents the portion of retained earnings set aside for specific purposes. Unreserved retained earnings is available for expending in future periods. - Fund balance accounts are subdivided as follows: Reserved accounts indicate the portion of fund balance which has been reserved for a specific purpose. Unreserved, designated accounts indicate the portion of fund balance which has been designated for a specific purpose. The unreserved, undesignated account is the portion of fund balance which is available for budgeting and expending in future periods. M. Revenues, Expenditures and Expenses 1. Revenues Property taxes and special assessment principal and interest are recog- nized as revenue when measurable and available. Portions of taxes paid by the State in the form of HACA and other tax credits are included in inter- governmental revenue. Intergovernmental revenues are reported under the legal and contractual requirements of the individual programs. 15 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF ST. JOSEPH, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1992 (Continued) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) M. Revenues, Expenditures and Expenses (Continued) 1. Revenues (Continued) Licenses and permits, charges for services, fines and forfeits, and miscellaneous revenues (except investment earnings) are recorded as revenues when received in cash because they are generally not measurable until then. Investment earnings are recorded when earned because they are measurable and available. 2. Property Tax Collection Calendar The City levies its property tax for the subsequent year during the month of December. The property tax is recorded as revenue when it becomes measurable and available. Stearns County is the collecting agency for the levy and remits the collections to the City three times a year. Taxes not collected as of December 31 each year are shown as delinquent taxes receivable. December 28 is the last day the City can certify a tax levy to the County Auditor for collection the following year. The County Auditor makes up the tax list for all taxable property in the City, applying the applicable tax rate to the tax capacity of individual properties, to arrive at the actual tax for each property. The County Auditor also collects all special assessments, except for certain prepayments paid directly to the City. The County Auditor turns over a list of taxes and special assessments to be collected on each parcel of property to the County Treasurer in January of each year. The County Treasurer collects all taxes, and all special assessments, except as noted above. The County Treasurer is required to mail copies of all personal property tax statements by April 15, and copies of all real estate tax statements by April 15, of each year. Property owners are required to pay one-half of their real estate taxes due by May 15 and the balance by October 15. 16 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF ST. JOSEPH, MINNESOTA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1992 (Continued) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) M. Revenues, Expenditures and Expenses (Continued) 2. Property Tax Collection Calendar (Continued) If taxes due May 15 are not paid on time, a penalty of 3% is assessed on homesteaded property, and 7% on non-homesteaded property. An additional 1% penalty is added each month the taxes remain unpaid, until October 15. If the taxes due May 15 are not paid by October 15, a 2% penalty per month is added to homesteaded property and 4% per month to non-homesteaded prop- erty until January 1. If the taxes are not paid by January 1, further penalties are added. Penalties and interest apply to both taxes and special assessments. There are some exceptions to the above penalties, but they are not material. Within 30 days after the tax settlement date, the County Treasurer is required to pay 70% of the estimated collections of taxes and special assessments to the City Treasu~er. The County Treasurer must pay the balance to the City Treasurer within 60 days after settlement, provided that after 45 days interest accrues at the rate of 8% per annum. 3. Expenditures Expenditure recognition for governmental fund types includes only amounts represented by current liabilities. Since noncurrent liabilities do not affect net current assets, they are not recognized as governmental fund expenditures or fund liabilities.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Statewide a. Plan Description All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City of St. Joseph are covered by defined benefit pension plans administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). PERA administers the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) and the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF) which are cost-sharing multiple-employer retirement plans. PERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated members are covered by Social Security and Basic members are not. All new members must participate in the Coordinated Plan. All police officers, firefighters and peace officers who qualify for membership by statute are covered by the PEPFF. The payroll for employees covered by PERF and PEPFF for the year ended December 31, 1992 was $ 147,658 and $ 132,660, respectively; the City's total payroll was $ 344,515. PERA provides retirement benefits as well as disability benefits to members, and benefits to survivors upon death of eligible members. Benefits are established by State Statute, and vest after three years of credited service. The defined retirement benefits are based on a member's 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 Coordinated and Basic members. The retiring member receives the higher of step-rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1) or a level accrual formula (Method 2). Under Method I, the annuity accrual rate for a Basic member is 2 per- cent of average salary for each of the first 10 years of service and 2.5 percent for each remaining year. For a Coordinated member, the annuity accrual rate is 1 percent of average salary for each of the first 10 years and 1.5 percent for each remaining year. Using Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.5 percent of average salary for Basic members and 1.5 percent for Coordinated members. For PEPFF members, the annuity accrual rate is 2.5 percent for each year of service. For PERF members whose annuity is calculated using Method 1, and for all PEPFF members, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal 90. There are different types of annuities available to members upon retirement. A normal annuity is a lifetime annuity that ceases upon the death of the retiree. No survivor annuity is payable. There are also various types of joint and survivor annuity options available which will reduce the monthly normal annuity amount, because the annu- ity is payable over joint lives. Members may also leave their contri- butions in the fund upon termination of public service, in order to qualify for a deferred annuity at retirement age. Refunds of contri- butions are available at any time to members who leave public service, but before retirement benefits begin. 22 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF ST.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Statewide (Continued) b. Contributions Required and Contributions Made Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. The City makes annual contributions to the pension plans equal to the amount required by State statutes. According to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 356.215, Subd. 4(g), the date of full funding required for the PERF and PEPFF is the year 2020. As part of the annual actuarial valuation, PERA's actuary determines the sufficiency of the statutory contribution rates towards meeting the required full funding deadline. The actuary compares the actual contribution rate to a "required" contribution rate. Current combined statutory contribution rates and actuarially required contribution rates for the plans are as follows: Statutory Rates Required Employees Employer Rates PERF (Basic and Coordinated) PEPFF 4.74% 12.00 9.95% 18.60 4.41% 8.00 Total contributions made by the City during fiscal year 1992 were: Percentage of Amounts Covered Payroll Employees Employer Employees Employer PERF $ 6,246 $ 6,615 4.23% 4.48% PEPFF 10,613 15,919 8.00 12.00 Totals $ 16,859 $ 22,534 The City's contribution for the year ended December 31, 1992 to the PERF represented .006 percent of total contributions required of all participating entities. For the PEPFF, contributions for the year ended December 31, 1992, represented .055 percent of total contribu- tions required of all participating entities. 23 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF ST.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans - Statewide (Continued) c. Funding Status and Progress 1. Pension Benefit Obligation The "pension benefit obligation" is a standardized disclosure measure of the present value of pension benefits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases and step-rate benefits, estimated to be payable in the future as a result of employee service to date. The measure, which is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits, is intended to help users assess PERA1s funding status on a going-concern basis, assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and make comparisons among Public Employees Retirement Systems and among employers. PERA does not make separate measurements of assets and pension benefit obligation for individual employers. The pension benefit obligations as of June 30, 1992, are shown below: (In Thousands) PERF PEPFF Total Pension Benefit Obligation $ 4,868,124 $ 821,604 Net Assets Available for Benefits, at Cost (Market Values for PERF = $ 4,068,082; PEPFF = $ 1,012,812) 3,933,124 963,565 Unfunded (Assets in Excess of) Pension Benefit Obligation $ 935,000 $(141,961) The measurement of the pension benefit obligation is based on an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 1992. Net assets available to pay pension benefits were valued as of June 30, 1992. 2. Changes in Benefit Provisions Effective for the June 30, 1992, valuation, legislative activity since the last actuarial valuation resulted in some minor changes in benefit provision for the fund. These changes did not have a significant impact on the PERF. 24 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF ST.

Ten-Year Historical Trend Information Ten-year historical trend information is presented in PERA's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ended June 30, 1992. This infonmation is useful in assessing the pension plan's accumulation of sufficient assets to pay pension benefits as they become due. e. Related Party Investments As of June 30, 1992, and for the fiscal year then ended, PERA held no securities issued by the City or other related parties. 2. Defined Contribution Lump Sum Service Pension Plan - Volunteer Fire Relief Association a. Plan Description The City contributes to the St. Joseph Fire Department Relief Association ("Association"), a single-employer public employee retire- ment system that acts as a common investment and administrator for the City's firefighters. Volunteer firefighters of the City are members of the St. Joseph Fire Department Relief Association. Members are eligible for service pensions and disability pensions at a pro-rate amount after 20 years of service and after arriving at age 50. Pension benefits are determined by multiplying the accrued liability, as set forth in Minnesota Statute 69.772, Subdivision 2, by the ratio of the lump sum service pension amount provided in the bylaws of the Association to a service pension of $ 100 per year of service. As of December 31, 1991, the bylaws provided an amount of $ 800 per year of service. The bylaws do not provide for early vesting. These benefit provisions and all other requirements are consistent with enabling state statutes. The City levies property taxes at the discretion of and for the benefit of the fire relief association and passes through state aids allocated to the plan, all in accordance with enabling state statutes. 25 I I I I I I !I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF ST.

Pension Benefit Obligation Net Assets Available for Benefits at Market $ 292,544 (281,191) $ 11,353 Unfunded Pension Benefit Obligation * As of the issuance of this report, amounts for December 31, 1992, were not available. d. Contributions Required and Contributions Made Financial requirements of the relief association are determined in accordance with Minnesota Statutes as follows: Normal Cost for Next Year (Increase in Pension Benefit Obligation) Plus: Estimated Expenses for Next Year and 10% of Any Deficits Less: Anticipated Income Next Year and 10% of Any Surplus Total contributions to the association in 1991 were $ 7,078. 26 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF ST.

Defined Contribution - Statewide The City provides pension benefits for its elected local government offi- cials through a defined contribution plan administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA). The Public Employees Defined Contribution Plan (PEDCP) is a multi-employer deferred compensation plan. Elected officials who are covered by a public or private pension plan because of their employment are not eligible to participate in the PEDCP. Plan benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Minnesota Statutes, Chapter' 3530.03 requires that both the elected local government official and the City contribute an amount equal to 5% of the elected local government official's salary. There is no vesting period required to receive benefits in the PEDCP. The City's total payroll in the year 1992 was $ 344,515. The City's con- tributions were calculated using the base salary amount of $ 13,120. Both the City and the elected local government official made the required 5% contribution, amounting to $ 656 from each source, or $ 1,312 in total. As of June 30, 1992, and for the fiscal year then ended, PERA held no securities issued by the City or other related parties. 4.

JOSEPH, MINNESOTA THE GENERAL FUND The General Fund accounts for all revenues and expenditures of a governmental unit which are not accounted for in other funds, and it is usually the largest and most important accounting activity for state and local governments. It normally receives a greater variety and number of taxes and other general revenues than any other fund. This fund has flowing into it such revenues as general property taxes, licenses and permits, fines and penalties, rents, charges for current services, state-shared taxes, and interest earnings. The fund's resources also finance a wider range of activities than any other fund. Most of the current operations of governmental units will be financed from this fund.

The most universal type of governmental enterprise is the public utility engaged in the provision of such basic services as water, electricity, and natural gas. Sanitary sewer systems financed by user charges have also assumed the status of public utility operations in many urban areas, and many cities have combined water and sewer systems under the same management.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government, promulgated by the Legal Compliance Task Force pursuant to Minnesota Statute Sec. 6.65. Accordingly, the audit included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government covers five main categories of compliance to be tested: contracting and bidding, deposits and investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, and claims and disbursements. Our study included all of the listed categories. The results of our tests indicate that for the items tested the City complied with the material terms and conditions of applicable legal provisions. Further, for the items not tested, based on our audit and the procedures referred to above, nothing came to our attention to indicate that the City had not complied with such legal provisions. This report is intended solely for the use of the City and should not be used for any other purpose. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report, which is a matter of public record. ;V~ ,J1W4-,tlw, d# KERN, DEWENTER, VIERE, LTD. 50 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF ST.
