Presentation of 2014 Audit. Peggy Moeller, Redpaath and Company, presenting. <br />Peggy Moeller, CPA, reported that the City received an unmodified or clean opinion on its 2014 <br />financial statements. She stated that the State Legal Compliance Report summarizes the results <br />of their testing required by Minnesota Statutes and there were no findings of noncompliance. <br />She stated that the Report on Internal Controls includes one finding and is the same finding the <br />City receives every year regarding segregation of duties. She explained that the City's Finance <br />Department is too small to segregate all duties and this is probably a finding that the City will be <br />unable to eliminate. She stated that 2014 General Fund actual revenues were $6,625,690 <br />compared to a budget $6,056,021, an increase of $569,669, and most of this increase was related <br />to increased collection of property taxes. She stated the General Fund year end balance was <br />$2,475,481 with non - spendable prepaid items totaling $91,136 and the remainder classified as <br />unassigned in the amount of $2,384,345. She stated the City's net 2015 budget was $5,424,322, <br />the City's minimum fund balance policy is 30 -35 %, and 30% of this amount is $1,627,297 and <br />
