Mounds View City Council May 11, 2009 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />View, and one legal compliance requirement finding with regard to administrative penalties. Mr. <br />Nielsen presented details of the management report. <br />Finance Director Beer explained the legal compliance finding relates to an opinion of the <br />Attorney General because Mounds View imposes administrative penalties. Mr. Nielsen stated it <br />is included in the Legal Compliance Manual so MMKR is required to issue that audit comment. <br />Council Member Mueller asked how small cities with limited staff assure adequate controls for <br />accounting functions. Mr. Nielsen stated MMKR issues the same finding for other small cities <br />and wants to ensure the Council is reviewing internal controls. <br />Council Member Mueller asked what "grade" Mounds View would receive in 2008. Mr. Nielsen <br />stated most of his testing is based on audit requirements so he is unable to offer such a "grade." <br />However, there were no new findings in 2008, an unqualified opinion was issued, and the <br />Certificate of Excellence will be received. <br />Mayor Flaherty thanked the Accounting Department for their excellent work and noted Mounds <br />View received an upgraded bond rating last year. <br />7.
