CITY OF CENTERVILLE,MINNESOTA <br /> SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND RESPONSES <br /> FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,2014 <br /> Findinjz Description <br /> 2014-001 Public purpose expenditure <br /> Condition: Our audit procedures include certain tests of the City's compliance with specific statutes and rules. <br /> During our tests we noted that the City Council approved a purchase for a painting for$296 and <br /> presented it as a gift to the retiring City Administrator. <br /> Criteria: According to Minnesota statutes section 15.46, in order for an expenditure of public funds to be <br /> lawful it should meet two standards: 1.)There must be a public purpose for the expenditure and <br /> 2.)There must be specific or implied authority for the expenditure in statute or in the City's charter. <br /> Minnesota statutes do not provide the authority for employee recognition. <br /> Cause: It appears the City Council did not adequately consider the lawful purpose statutes. <br /> Effect: While the amount may be considered relatively minor,the expenditure does not meet the criteria for <br /> a valid public expenditure and as a result the City is out of compliance with statutes. <br /> Recommendation: We recommend the City Council review the public purpose guidelines to ensure expenditures meet <br /> the above requirements. <br /> Management response: <br /> The Mayor and City Council members have,subsequently,reimbursed the City for the entire cost of the painting. <br /> -83- <br />
