To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota TAUTGES, REDPATH & CO., LTD. CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota, as of December 31,1993 and for the year then ended as listed in the table of contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose financial statements based on our audit. Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Governmental Auditing Standards as issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall fmancial statement •- presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The City does not maintain complete accounting controls over quantities and costs of General Fixed Assets. Therefore, we were not able to obtain sufficient evidential matter to foam an opinion regarding the amounts at which property, plant and equipment are recorded in the General Fixed Assets Account Group at December 31,1993 or 1992 (stated at $2,630,549 and $2,344,451 respectively). Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on this account group. In our opinion, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been deterfnined had we been able to obtain sufficient evidential matter regarding the City's General Fixed Assets, the general purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota, as of December 31, 1993 and the results of its operations and the Statement of Cash Flows of its Proprietary Fund types for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose fmancial statements taken as a whole. The combining, individual fund and account group financial statements and supplementary financial information in the table of contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the general purpose financial statements of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota. Such information, except for that portion marked "unaudited," on which we express no opinion, has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general purpose fmancial statements and, in our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the general purpose fmancial statements taken as a whole. 4.
