r TA UTGES, REDPA TH & CO., LTD. CER 17F 7ED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS AUDITOR'S COMMENTS ON COMPLIANCE To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December 31, 1992 and have issued our report thereon dated March 5, 1993. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government promulgated by the Legal Compliance Task Force pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 6.65. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement. General Purpose Financial Statements Compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to the City of Lino Lakes, is the responsibility of the City's management. As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of the City's compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants. However, our objective was not to provide an opinion on overall compliance with such provisions. The results of our tests indicated that, with respect to the items tested, the City of Lino Lakes complied, in all material respects, with the provisions referred to in the preceding paragraph. With respect to items not tested, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City of Lino Lakes had not complied, in all material respects, with those provisions. Legal Compliance The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government covers five main categories of compliance to be tested: 1) Contracting and Bidding 2) Deposits and Investments 3) Conflicts of Interest 4) Public Indebtedness 5) Claims and Disbursements Our study included all of the above listed categories. The results of our tests indicate that for the items tested, the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota complied with the material terms and conditions of applicable legal provisions, except as described in this letter. 4810 White Bear Parkway • White Bear Lake.
