<br />INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
<br />To the Honorable Mayor and
<br />Members of the City Council
<br />City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota

<br />We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota, and the combining,
<br />individual fund, and account group financial statements of the City as of and for the year ended December 31,1988 as
<br />listed in the table of contents. These fmancial statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our
<br />responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
<br />We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan
<br />and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
<br />misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
<br />fmancial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
<br />by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
<br />provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
<br />The City does not maintain complete accounting controls over quantities and costs of general fixed assets.
<br />Therefore, we were not able to obtain sufficient evidential matter to form an opinion regarding the amounts at which
<br />property, plant and equipment are recorded in the General Fixed Assets Account Group at December 31, 1988 or
<br />1987 (stated at $1,467,708 and $1,369,835 respectively). Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on this
<br />account group.
<br />In our opinion, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined had we been able to
<br />obtain sufficient evidential matter regarding the City's General Fixed Assets, the general purpose fmancial statements
<br />referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota,
<br />as of December 31, 1988, and the results of its operations and the statement of cash flows of its proprietary fund
<br />types for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion,
<br />except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined had we been able to obtain
<br />sufficient evidential matter regarding the City's General Fixed Assets, the combining, individual fund, and account
<br />group financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of
<br />the individual funds and account groups of the City of Lino Lakes Minnesota as of December 31, 1988, and the
<br />results of operations of such funds and the statement of cash flows of individual proprietary funds for the year then
<br />ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
<br />Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements taken as a
<br />whole, and on the combining, individual fund, and account group financial statements. The accompanying
<br />information listed as supporting exhibits and statistical information in the table of contents is presented for purposes
<br />of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota.
<br />Such information, except for that portion marked "unaudited ", on which we express no opinion, has been subjected
<br />to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general purpose, combining, individual fund, and account group
<br />financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the fmancial statements
<br />of each of the respective individual funds and account groups, taken as a whole.
