IncludingtheformerAPPLE & APPLE Certified Public Accountants REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Rosemount,Minnesota We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Rosemount,Minnesota,as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998, and have issued our report thereon dated March 5, 1999. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Govemment Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Compliance As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Rosemount,Minnesota's general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement,we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants, 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 that are required to be reported under GovernmentAuditing Standards. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit,we considered the City of Rosemount, Minnesota's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the general purpose financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be materiai in relation to the general purpose financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses. Minnesota Legai Compliance We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the provisions of the Minnesota Lega/Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government, promulgated by the Legal Compliance Task Force pursuant to Minnesota Statute 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 Loca/Govemment contains five main categories of compliance to be tested: contracting and bidding, deposits and investments,conflicts of interest,public indebtedness,and claims and disbursements. Our study included all of the listed categories. The results of our tests indicate that for the items tested the City of Rosemount, Minnesota complied with the material terms and conditions of applicable legal provisions. Further,for the items not tested, based on our audit and the procedures referred to above, nothing came to our attention to indicate that the City of Rosemount,Minnesota had not complied with such legal provisions. This report is intended for the information of management,the City Council, state agencies, and federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities. However,this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited. � � . 7�k1fa:G�¢2/L�v(-aivc�✓�i � ���. BOECKERMANN,HEINEN&MAYER, P.A.
