CITY OF SHAKO PEE Memorandum TO: Mayor and Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator FROM: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director SUBJ: Comprehensive Annual Financial Report DATE: June 13, 2006 Introduction & Background Council has retained the firm of Kern, DeWenter and Viere to audit the financial records of the City of Shakopee for 2005. Joe Rigdon will be at the meeting on June 20th to present their report. The report is due to the State Auditors Office and the Government Finance Officers Association by June 30th. There are two reportable conditions needing management or Council's attention. One is thelack.of segregation of payroll duties and the other is oversight of the revenue process for the ice arena. Another comment is a repeat of the employee recognition expenditures/food which Council adopted a policy for earlier this year. Included in the activity report was a letter from the State Auditor regarding that comment. The standard comment on diversification of accounting duties that is limited by the size of staff is repeated. Also in the Auditor's comments is the future implementation of GASB Statement 43 and 45. Staff has begun working on implementation. An actuarial study is needed and the Stanton Group has been contacted to provide a proposal. Financially, there is nothing remarkable about 2005 compared to previous years. General Fund had a surplus of $2,432,288. Due to conservative spending, the budget was under spent by $1,047,557. Development fees, building permits and conservative budgeting were largely responsible for revenues exceeding the estimate by $1,672,915.; Divisions exceeding the expenditure budget were Government Buildings ($9,174), Fire ($40,520) and Shop ($11,484) . Action Move to accept the auditor's report. G1Jg~~ FJ.nance DJ.rector u, \cafrOS
