December 20, 1995 <br />Page 4 <br />We submitted an informal audit fee for 1991 and 1994 that was less than the City paid the present <br />auditors. The reason the City did not want to change auditors at that time was because they had <br />hired a new accountant and she would need to rely on the audit firm to help her get the books and <br />records in order because the auditing firm had most of the City's records. <br />The City went out for proposals in 1995 because Joel felt that the City's accountant had a good <br />handle on the City's recordkeeping. <br />To my knowledge, the present auditors do not belong to the Suburban Area Chamber of Commerce, <br />live in Little Canada, pay real estate taxes, or participate in any organizations in the City. Real <br />estate taxes for Olsen Thielen & Co., Ltd. as well as for our staff who live in Little Canada exceed <br />$50,000. <br />The City is trying to get business to locate to Little Canada and it would seem that they City should <br />do business with one of its largest employers. If it is the City's policy to do business with Little <br />Canada businesses and taxpayers, this would be an opportunity to execute this policy. <br />I will be happy to attend the December 20, 1995, council meeting to discuss this letter with you. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dennis R. Carson, CPA <br />Vice President and Director <br />DRC/bh <br />Page 37 <br />
