Fahey <br />Council Members: <br />Beverly Sealze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Petersen <br />Administrator: <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />City of Little Canada <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />Re: December 31, 1995 Auditor Selection <br />We have submitted a proposal to perform the December 31, 1995 audit of the City of Little <br />Canada. We have been informed that we may not be recommended by management as the firm <br />to be hired to perform the audit. <br />Our firm is headquartered in Little Canada and is the second largest Minnesota -owned firm and <br />the 105th largest in the United States. We have over 100 people in our Little Canada office and <br />our payroll is $5.2 million. Many of us live in Little Canada and are active in organizations in <br />the City. Our firm is a member of the Suburban Area Chamber of Commerce and our people are <br />active participants. <br />I have spent time helping promote ways to improve Little Canada: Clean-Up Days, entrance <br />signs, long -range planning and trying to establish a downtown Little Canada. As a resident and <br />taxpayer of Little Canada, I feel that the City should do business with Little Canada businesses <br />unless it is impossible to find such a service. <br />Olsen Thielen & Co., Ltd. is experienced in all types of auditing and has the talent and resources <br />to perform your audit. In 1996 our firm will be 75 years old and we have been located in Little <br />Canada for the past 25 years. <br />Our firm presently has over 100 audit clients that are audited under Government Auditing <br />Standards and over 50 of our professionals meet the educational standards required by the <br />Comptroller General of the United States to do government audits. We also have over 200 utility <br />clients, and I personally have audited the City of Sioux Falls, South Dakota and the City of <br />Fargo, North Dakota. Also, Rick Ehrich, who would be the partner in charge of your audit, has <br />prior experience with another CPA firm and audited the cities of Edina, Golden Valley, <br />Moundsview, Fridley, Falcon Heights, St. Louis Park and Savage. <br />Page 34 <br />Associated World -wide with Jeffreys Henry International ✓yi <br />223 Little Canada Road, St. Paul, Minnesota 55117 612 483 4521 FAX 612 483 2467 <br />6610 Shadv Oak Road, Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344 612 941 9242 <br />
