Presentation of Annual Audit -Aaron Nielsen, MMKR Certified Public <br />Accountants <br />Aaron Nielsen from MMKR appeared before Council and reviewed the audit summary with <br />Council and those in attendance. <br />Council Member Flaherty thanked the audit firm for the clear, concise report. <br />Council Member Mueller thanked the audit firm for the analysis and for the reminder to continue <br />to review water and sewer rates to ensure that they are adequate to support the systems. <br />Mayor Marty asked whether there was anything that could be done to further separate duties <br />without hiring more staff. <br />Mr. Nielsen indicated that there is oversight now, but it would be better to have additional staff <br />to separate the duties further. <br />Mayor Marty commented on the finding of the City not paying within 35 days. He then said that <br />there were a couple that were purposely held back to ensure that the contractor did what he said <br />he would do. <br />Finance Director Beer indicated that disputed claims are exempt from the 35 day requirement. <br />Mayor Marty noted that for public safety the actual and budget were different and he is <br />wondering why the public safety budget was exceeded. <br />Finance Director Beer indicated that the command vehicle contributed, but it was also fuel <br />increases and overtime. <br />Mayor Marty said that he is a little concerned about the operating results of the sanitary sewer <br />fund, because it looks like it is starting to dip below the expenses. <br />Mayor Marty commented on future street reconstruction. He is glad that the goals and changes in <br />the program were noted. <br />Mayor Marty thanked the audit firm on behalf of the City for the thorough and comprehensive <br />review of the City's finances. <br />7.
