Our audit considered all of the listed categories. <br /> <br />In connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City failed to <br />comply with the provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Cities. However, our <br />audit was not directed primarily toward obtaining knowledge of such noncompliance. Accordingly, had <br />we performed additional procedures, other matters may have come to our attention regarding the City’s <br />noncompliance with the above referenced provisions. <br /> <br />PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT <br /> <br />The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of compliance and the results of <br />that testing, and not to provide an opinion on compliance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any <br />other purpose. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota <br />May 2, 2019
