We will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether from (1) errors, (2) fi:audplent financial reporting, (3) misappropriation ofassets, or (4) violations of laws or governmental regulations that ate attnDutable to the entity or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of . the entity. Because an audit is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance and because we will not -perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material misstatements may exist and not be detected by us. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements, or violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a - direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, we will inform you of any material errors and any fraudulent financial reporting or misappropriation of assets that come to our attention. We will also inform you of any violations of laws or governmental regulations that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors.

At the conclusion of our audit, we will also require certain written representations from you about the financial statements and related matters. Audit Proeedures - Internal Control Our audit will include obtaining an understanding of the entity and its environment, including internal control, sufficient to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and to design the nature, timing, and extent offurther audit procedures. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify deficiencies in internal control. However, during the audit, we will communicate to management and those charged with governance internal control related matters that are required to be communicated under professional standards. Audit Proeedures - Compliance As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of the City's compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and agreements. However, the objective of our audit will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance and we will not express such an opinion. 200"-ALG-CL-l.l: Audit Engagement Letter-Standard 952.835;9O!Iile ._M.'~1 ~.. /~ City of Centeville October 12, 2007 Page Four Audit AdmiDIstratlon, Fees, and Other We may trom time tQ time, and dePcmdingon the circumstances, use third-party service providers in serving your account We may share oonfidential informatioo about you With these service providers, but remain oommitted to maintaining the confidentiality and security of your information.

INTRODUCTION Since the Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department's 2020 Vision Plan was adopted in 1998, the county has been pursuing the development of a multi-use regional trail system. Ten regional trail corridors were identified in the plan as a way to connect regional parks within the county. In addition, the corridors proposed connections to the surrounding state and regional trail systems. Components of the plan also identified key elements that enabled the Parks a creation Department to implement regional trail development, (i.e. pursuit offu acquisition, planning and design; and incorporating trail alignments). This de for a complete and comprehensive framework in the context of the m ea regional trail system and established trail development as a high . .ty.

EXECUTM SUMMARY The Central Anoka County Regional Trail corridor has been established since the Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department's 20/20 Vision Plan was adopted in 1998. This master plan was developed to illustrate the alignment, potential partnerships and costs associated with the construction of the east alignment of the Central Anoka County Regional Trail. This regional trail provides multiple opportunities departments and local cities to meet the needs ofth southeastern Anoka County and to connect the st a variety of destinations in the County. This trail corridor traverses through the Blaine, Uno lakes and Centerville to th of the trail through Anoka County as pro of existing paved off-street trail.

Page 3 of 14 J'5 IV. STEWARDSHIP PLAN Anoka County Parks and Recreation is a natural resource based park and trail system. Therefore, natural resource management and stewardship is an integral element" "included in the Anoka County Regional Trail System and this master plan. Natural resource management and stewardship for trail corridorS is vital in maintaining the trail corridor's a~thetics and identity. To do this, Anoka Cou hall provide for: . "The protection, restoration and enhancem throughout the corridor; . Protection and improvement of water . An increased public awareness/edu . Encouragement of green and o~ to enhance the recreational bene I resources; and here possible ntial housing, agricultural fields, uses. Some of these areas, such nd stewardship plans.

In the context of ecological g adaptive management principles will guide the stewardship entral Anoka County Regional Trail corridor; 1. Proble Assessment: Define the scope of degradation to the site, synthesize the existing knowledge about it, and explore the potential outcomes of alternative restoration actions. 2. Design: " Design a restoration plan and monitoring program that will provide reliable feedback and information about the" effectiveness of restoration methods. Page 4 of 14 ~ 3. Implementation: Restoration work is started. Effective restoration is usually a multi-step process, requiring not only installation, but many years of maintenance and monitoring. 4. Monitoring: Biotogical indicators are monitored to determine how effective the restoration methods are in meeting the project objectives. v. 5. Evaluation: The actual outcomes are compared to the a the reasons for the underlying differences In addition, 6.

From 1995. to 2005, recreational visits to Anoka County regional parks and trails increased by 60%. According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources 2004 Outdoor. Recreation Participation Survey of Minnesotans, nearly 82% indicated that outdoor recreation is "very important" or "moderately important" in their liVes.
