VOTO, REARDON, TAUTGES & CO., LTD. CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS Visa° / Birch Lake Professional Building • 1310 E. Hwy. 96 • White Bear Lake, MN 55110 • Phone 426 -3263 May 21, 1985 Mr. Joseph G. Chlebeck City Clerk- Treasurer City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Road St. Paul, Minnesota 55117 Dear Joe: ROBERT I. VOTO, CPA TIMOTHY E. REARDON, CPA ROBERT C. TAUTGES. CPA Pursuant to your request, this letter is intended to outline the terms of our engagement to analyze the Water and Sewer Rates of the City of Little Canada. The objective of our engagement is to recommend a Water and Sewer rate schedule for the City to monitor the operating results of the Water and Sewer Fund com- pared to projections of utility rate needs. To accomplish this task, we will prepare the following: • A historical analysis of the financial statements of the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund. This historical analysis will pro- vide information with regard to trends of increasing expenses (i.e., Administrative, MWCC, other operating, etc.) as well as, an indication of the various trends with regard to revenue types (i.e., operating revenues, and other supplemental revenues). This historical analysis will be one factor in our projection of future operating results for the Water and Sewer Utility Fund. • We will review other statistical data with regard to water usage and sewer system usage within the City of Little Canada. In order to facilitate an efficient process we will use the information as gathered by City personnel and /or the City's consulting engineer with regard to historical flow data. This information will also be used in correlating the projected growth of the use of the system based on the City's planning department projections. The primary revenue areas effected by growth will be Water and Sewer Operating Revenues and connec- tion charges which are dedicated to the Water and Sewer Fund. • We will review the reports issued by the consulting engineer with regard to inflow and infiltration of the City's sewer system and will request a summary of the effects of such inflow and infiltration on the sewer billings received by the City from the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. 56 MI MBE RS OF AMERICAN INSIIlI11 OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCCOUN-IANIS • PRIA All COMPANIES PRACTICE SECTION MINNESOTA SOCIETY Of CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS MI.NIC IP Al I INANCE OI II( I'RS .ASSOCIATION • MINNESOTA ASSOCI AIION OF SCH001 BUSINESS OFFICIALS
