Certified Public Accountants and Consultants REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE AUDIT GUIDE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of St. Anthony, Minnesota We have audited the basic financial statements of the City of St. Anthony, Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 and have issued our report thereon dated April 27, 2007. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government promulgated by the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 6.65. Accordingly, the audit included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government covers seven categories of compliance to be tested: contracting and bidding, deposits and investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, claims and disbursements, miscellaneous provisions, and tax increment financing. Our study included all of the listed categories. The results of our tests indicate that for the items tested, the City of St. Anthony, Minnesota complied with the material terms and conditions of applicable legal provisions, except as described in this report. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City of St. Anthony, Minnesota's City council and management and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Lid is a member or ® Intentaoonal, a world- wde aigawahon of accounting firms and business advisors 34 Report on Compliance with Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government Page 2 Finding: Declaration for Payment not on Check Stock Criteria: Minnesota Statutes require that municipalities have a declaration for payment signed to the effect that such amount, claim, or demand is just and correct and that no part of it has been paid. Minnesota Statute 471.391 reads as follows: 471.391 Declaration form. Subdivision 1. Sufficiency. The declaration provided for in section 471.38 is sufficient if in the following form: `9 declare under the penalties of law that this account, claim or demand is just and correct and that no part of it has been paid. ..................................... Signature of Claimant" Subdivision 2. Above check endorsement. The check or order -check by which the claim is paid may have printed on its reverse side, above the space for endorsement thereof by the payee, the following statement: `..rhe undersigned payee, in endorsing this check (or order -check) declares that the sante is received in payment of a just and correct claim against the county (county board of education for unorganized territory, school district, town or city), and that no part of it has heretofore been paid." When endorsed by the payee named in the check: or order -check, such statement shall operate and shall be deemed sufficient as the required declaration of the claim. Condition: The check stock used by the City did not include the required declaration, until October 2006. Cause: The City was not aware of this requirement when they ordered check stock. Effect: The City was not in compliance with this issue and was not meeting the requirements of Minnesota Statute 471.391. Recommendation: We recommend the City add the required declarations to its check stock each time checks are ordered. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Upas notification, the City immediately corrected this issue.

Certified Public Accountants and Consultants REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of St. Anthony, Minnesota We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of St. Anthony, Minnesota as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, which collectively comprise the City of St. Anthony, Minnesota's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated April 27, 2007. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of St. Anthony, Minnesota's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of St. Anthony, Minnesota's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of St. Anthony, Minnesota's internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. However, as discussed below, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be significant deficiencies. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that 4510 White Bear Parkway White Bear Lake, Minnesota 55110 1 651 426 7000 651 426 5004 Fax I www hlbtr.com Hlfl Tautcdes Redpalh, Ltd is a memher of IN Internal onal, a wodd wide orrjameation of accounting firms and business admors Report on Compliance with Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government Page 3 Finding: Errors in Report of Outstanding Indebtedness Criteria: Minnesota statutes require that the annual report of outstanding obligations is to be reported to the auditor of each county in which such municipality is situate, the total amount of outstanding obligations accurately. 471.70 Animal Report of Outstanding Obligations For the purposes of this section "municipality' means a city, however organized; a school district, however organized; a town; or any other body corporate and politic created under Minnesota law. An "obligation" as used in this section means an obligation as defined in chapter 475. On or before February first each year, it shall be the duty of the principal accounting officer of each municipality to report to the auditor of each county in which such municipality is situate, the total amount of outstanding obligations, and the purpose for which issued as of December 31, of the preceding year. Such report shall be kept by the auditor of each county in a suitable record. On March first each year, it shall be the duty of the auditor of each county to make report to the state auditor of such obligations as reported to the county auditor by the principal accounting officer of the municipality, together with the amount and character of all outstanding obligations issued by the county. Condition: The report that was submitted to the County was submitted with incorrect information relating to the City's total amount of outstanding obligations. Cause: The City did not report the 2006 tax increment bonds as City indebtedness. Effect: The effect of noncompliance is not determinable. Recommendation: We recommend the City review all bonds issued and determine whether bonds are the City's obligations or conduit debt. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: The City has established procedures to correct this going forward by developing proper accounting procedures for all TIF Revenue Bonds. City staff will closely monitor all bond sales to determine the proper accounting of all outstanding obligations and report them on a timely basis to the County Auditor. 35 37 Report on hlternal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Page 2 a misstatement of the entity's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control. We consider the deficiencies described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses as items 2006-1 through 2006-9 to be significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting was for the limited propose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in the internal control that might be significant deficiencies and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However, of the significant deficiencies described above, we consider items 2006-6 and 2006-9 to be material weaknesses. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of St. Anthony, Minnesota's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect. on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. The City of St. Anthony, Minnesota's response to the findings identified in our audit are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses. We did not audit the City of St. Anthony, Minnesota's response and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City of St. Anthony, Minnesota's City council and management and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. Yt'O 9g a—u" HLB TAUTGES REDPATH, LTD. White Bear Lake, Minnesota April 27, 2007 CITY OF ST. ANTHONY, MINNESOTA SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS For The Year Ended December 31, 2006 2006-1 Disbursement Approval Criteria: Approval for disbursements is not clearly identifiable on invoices. Condition: Invoices/checks do not have a formal approval process in which department heads sign off to approve the payments. Department heads approve by entering coding on invoice. Cause: The coding written on the invoice has been accepted as department head approval. Effect: Invoices may not be approved by the proper person, which may go undetected, resulting in a higher risk of improper disbursements. Recommendation: We recommend department head approval of invoices be evidenced by a signature or initials next to the coding. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: The City will correct this going forward by establishing procedures that require department heads to sign off on the actual invoice prior to them being submitted for payment. Invoices without the proper signature will be returned to the originating department for proper approval. Once the invoice has been properly approved and coded, the claim will be processed in a timely fashion. 39 CITY OF ST. ANTHONY, MINNESOTA SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS For The Year Ended December 31, 2006 2006-2 Lack of Segregation of Duties Criteria: Generally, a system of internal control contemplates separation of duties such that no individual has responsibility to execute a transaction, have physical access to the related assets, and have responsibility or authority to record the transaction. Condition• Utility bills are produced, payments are collected, and receipts are posted to the utility system by a single employee. Cause: The condition is due to the limited number of staff and is common to cities of this size. Effect: The lack of ideal segregation of duties subjects the City to a higher risk that errors or fraud could occur and not be detected in a timely manner. Recommendation: We recommend the Public Works Director continue reviewing all utility adjustments and that the City remain aware of this situation. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Despite having a small accounting staff, the City recognizes the need to continually implement practices that will ensure that all transactions and adjustments are well documented, reviewed for accuracy and approved by the appropriate department head. In the past, this has been accomplished by rotating and cross -training staff to fill in for different areas. CPI`Y OP ST. ANTHONY, MINNI.SOTA SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS For The Year Ended December 31, 2006 2006-3 Lack of Journal Entry Approval Criteria: There is a lack of formal approval process for journal entries. Condition: There is no documented approval when journal entries are madc to the system. Cause: The City has not established a formal approval process. Effect: In the current auditing environment, journal entry approval has taken on a heightened sense of awareness since fraud can frequently be covered up by journal entry, especially those involving wire transfers. The lack of journal entry approval subjects the City to a higher risk that errors or fraud could occur and not be detected in a timely manner. Recommendation: We recommend all journal entries have documented approval along with supporting documentation. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: The City will correct this going forward by documenting the approval of all journal entries. Journal entries and the supporting documentation will be reviewed by an alternate person in finance who did not prepare the initial entry. After their approval, the journal entry will be processed into the accounting records. 41 CITY OF ST. ANTHONY, MINNESOTA SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS For The Year Ended December 31, 2006 2006-4 Oversight of Financial Statement Preparation Criteria: Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls. These controls include the responsibility for preparation, or oversight of the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Condition: During this year of audit, Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 112 became effective. Basically, the main intent of SAS 112 is to have auditors report in writing more findings involving internal control. SAS 112 specifies that an organization may not rely exclusively on its auditors to perform the financial statement process. In our viewpoint, SAS 112 will result in many, if not most, small to mid-size organizations receiving a finding regarding financial statement preparation. Like many similarly sized organizations, the City has requested assistance from us, the auditors, with drafting financial statements and related notes. This is a common practice and an allowable nonaudit service under the AICPA Ethics Interpretation 101-3. However, other than relying on the auditors, the City staff does not perform sufficient procedures to detect if there were misstatements or omission of disclosures to the financial statements. Cause: The City has not established procedures to detect misstatements or omissions of disclosures in the draft financial statements prepared by the auditors. Lf By not having such controls, there is an increased risk that errors or omissions in draft financial statements prepared by the auditors would not be detected by City management. Recommendation: We recommend the City review this matter and determine a course of action. Any change would need to be viewed from a cost/benefit perspective. Options for the City include: 1. Remain aware of the situation, however due to the increased cost, make the choice to make no changes to current procedures. 2. Implement internal procedures as determined practical. Such procedures could include: a. Complete a disclosure checklist to ensure propriety and completeness of disclosures. b. Trace various trial balance accounts to the draft financial statements to ensure 42 CITY OF ST. ANTHONY, MINNESOTA SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS For The Year Ended December 31, 2006 all accounts are included in the financial statements. c. Review GASB 34 conversion entries to ensure that the draft government: wide financial statements are free of misstatement. Hiring additional internal or 3`a party resources to assist with the financial statement process. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: The City will consider the hiring of an internal employee or a 3"' party to assist with the preparation of the financial statement process. Upon reviewing those options from a cost/benefit perspective, the City will determine a cost. efficient and most appropriate course of action. 43 CITY OF ST. ANTHONY, MINNESO'T'A SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS For The Year Ended December 31, 2006 2006-5 Capital Asset Depreciation Calculation Errors Criteria: There is not a process established to identify errors within the capital asset software system. Condition: Audit tests detected that one asset prematurely stopped depreciating and two other assets were depreciating incorrectly. Cause: The City's capital asset system is not calculating depreciation correctly and the City has not established effective internal controls that will catch any depreciation errors that the capital asset software produces. Effect: The depreciation expense for the City may be misstated if assets are not properly depreciating. Recommendation: We recommend the City review its capital asset software system and the depreciation calculation function. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: The City will correct this going forward by working closely with the software vendor to ensure that the capital asset software is calculating depreciation properly, the City will do mid -year testing and evaluation of software. CITY OF ST. ANTHONY, MINNESOTA SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS For The Year Ended December 31, 2006 2006-6 Transfers Between Funds Criteria: Transfers in and transfers out are required to be reported when the City moves assets between funds. Condition: The City recorded expense and revenue in two funds when the only transaction was transferring cash between the funds. The City recorded transfers out of the Liquor Fund directly to retained earnings rather than to transfer out. Cause: Unknown. Effect: The City is not properly recording financial activity resulting in overstated revenues and expenditures or financial statements that do not balance. Recommendation: We recommend that all transfers between funds be recorded as transfers in and transfers out. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: The City has corrected its accounting procedures so that Liquor Fund transfers to other funds will be correctly expensed to transfers to other funds. The previous technique of recording the transfers against retained earnings has been discontinued. 45 CITY OF ST. ANTHONY, MINNESOTA SCHEDULE OP FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS For The Year Ended December 31, 2006 2006-7 Capital Asset Additions Criteria: All capital assets should be recorded in the City's capital asset system. The City has not established a process to insure all capital assets are capitalized. Condition: During auditor testing, two assets were discovered that should have been capitalized that were not capitalized by the City. Cause: The capital asset additions list is not independently reviewed for completeness. Effect: The City's capital assets were understated. Recommendation: We recommend that the finance director review the capital asset additions list each year for completeness. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: The City has implemented accounting techniques that will correct this for future capital asset additions. The chart of accounts has been revised to include categories for nondepreciable assets (purchases under $5,000) and depreciable assets (purchases over $5,000). Staff will reconcile the depreciable assets to the capital asset accounting records which will assure that assets over $5,000 are being corrected recorded and depreciated. M CITY OF Sl. ANTHONY, MINNESOTA SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS For The Year Ended December 31, 2006 2006-8 Inadequate Documentation of the Components of Internal Control Criteria: SAS 112 specifies that inadequate documentation of the components of internal control is considered a significant deficiency in the design of internal controls. Condition: Although the City has many adequate controls in place, they are not in writing. Therefore, under the definition of SAS 112, a finding exists. Cause: There may be an assumption that because the City's accounting system is not complex and accounting personnel have direct and easy access to the Finance Director when questions arise, there is no need for an internal control/accounting manual. Effect: An implied or verbal policy is subject to greater variation of its meaning and the likelihood of misinterpretation increases when a policy is not written. Recommendation.: We recommend the City establish a written internal control manual. Written procedures, instructions, and assignments of duties will prevent or reduce misunderstandings, errors, inefficient or wasted effort, duplicated or omitted procedures, and other situations that can result in inaccurate or untimely accounting records. A well - devised accounting manual can also help to ensure that all similar transactions are treated consistently, that accounting principles used are proper, and that records are produced in the form desired by management. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Staff will develop and establish a written internal control manual with procedures, instructions and assignment of duties. This will ensure that all similar transactions are treated consistently, that generally accepted accounting principles are used in all instances, and that all records are produced in the form desired by management. 47 CITY OF ST. ANTHONY, MINNESOTA SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS For The Year Ended December 31, 2006 2006-9 Financial Statement Misstatements Criteria: SAS 112 specifies that a misstatement of any magnitude that could occur and not be detected by the City's controls be considered a significant deficiency in internal control. Condition: During the course of our audit, audit staff prepared journal entries to correct beginning account balances, transfers, depreciation expense, Retainage payables, prior period adjustments, capital asset additions, sales tax expense, bond proceeding and bonding costs, pay-as-you-go TIF activity, amortization expense, escrow activity, grants receivable and interest receivable. In our viewpoint, the guidance provided by SAS 112 regarding financial statement misstatements combined with the complexity of governmental accounting will result. in most local governments receiving a finding in this regard. Cause: The City has not established procedures for review of year end closing entries nor established procedures to review trial balance account balances for accuracy. Effect: By not having such controls, there is an increased risk that financial statement misstatements may occur. Recommendation: We recommend that the City put procedures in place to ensure that all activity reported in the trial balance is reviewed for accuracy. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: The City is in the process of correcting accounting procedures that will ensure that previous audit staff prepared journal entries will be made and posted into the system by City staff prior to the audit. start date. The result will be a trial balance that is more accurate and can be tested for accuracy. CITY OF ST. ANTHONY VILLAGE RESOLUTION 07-041 A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE AUDIT OF THE CITY OF ST.

According to Section 12.11 of the Development Agreement, the City agreed to secure an interim loan in the amount of $3,350,000 from Fannie Mae, to assist in acquiring three (3) commercial properties where the Phase IA and Phase 113 for -sale housing would be developed (condominiums). On June 8, 2004, the City approved entering into an agreement with Fannie Mae to procure these funds and on August 27, 2004 the City and Fannie Mae executed a Credit Facility Contract for the funds. The term of the loan is for three (3) years and is due and payable in full on or before August 27, 2007 (prepayment can happen anytime during this period without penalty). During this three (3) year period, the City is required to pay quarterly interest payments on the loan, which they have and have subsequently been reimbursed for by the developer. Principle payments on the loan are to be paid from land sale proceeds from the Phase IA and I13 for -sale housing components and any TIF revenue bond proceeds not needed to repay the developer for qualified TIF costs. In April 2007, the City made a prepayment on the loan in the amount of $738,903, which represented non -obligated TIF revenue bond proceeds from the take out financing for the Phase IA housing development. This leaves a balance of $2,611,097 to be paid on the loan. The developer intends to make additional payment on the loan this fall when they begin construction on the first building in the Phase I13 for -sale housing development. This amount will be approximately $1.8 million, leaving a balance of approximately $800,000 on the loan. Since the timing of construction of the Phase II3 housing won't commence until after August 27, 2007, the developer has requested that the City request a two-year extension in the term of the loan from Fannie Mae.

Since this time, the City Council and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) have amended the Development Agreement to reflect the changes in commencing and completing construction of the for -sale housing. Pursuant to the 5d' Amendment to the Development Agreement, it is anticipated that construction on the lst building in Phase 1B will commence by September 1, 2007 and construction on the 2nd building will commence by September 1, 2008 (2008 is the soonest the remaining land sale proceeds of $800,000 will be available to pay off the remaining principle on the loan). We have had discussions with Fannie Mae regarding the extension request and they understand the overall slow -down in the housing market and are willing to approve an extension request.
