City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota <br />Management Report, Page 15 <br />received. In order to assure that the City's best interests are guarded, the City should improve <br />internal records with regard to special assessments and compare such records periodically to <br />County records. Additionally, Anoka County is not providing detail of penalty and interest on <br />delinquent collections. In light of the magnitude of past delinquencies, this allocation should be <br />provided. We recommend that the City request improved data from the County. <br />Fixed Assets <br />As discussed in prior management reports, the City does not maintain complete fixed asset <br />accounting records. Advantages of maintaining such a system include the following: <br />• Availability of insurable value amounts. <br />• Increased safeguarding of movable assets. <br />• Availability of database to determine capital equipment replacement needs. <br />• Improved financial reporting. <br />Our firm can assist the City in establishing fixed asset systems. Our assistance would include <br />the following: <br />1) Plan the implementation. <br />2) Assist in taking physical inventories. <br />3) Assist in defining historical or estimated historical cost. <br />4) Enter all such assembled data into a specialized fixed asset system for governments. <br />5) Generate complete fixed asset reports as of the completion date of the engagement. <br />
