City Manager Wier reported that having reliable patrol vehicles for our police officers is a high
priority. He further reported that the Police Department Vehicle Replacement Plan does not affect
the budget recommendations for FY24/25. The goal is to have patrol vehicles that are not more
than 10 years old and less than 100k miles. Then, they will be transitioned to Admin or Reserve
Patrol (which anticipates 7500 miles a year). For the K9 vehicles, there is a minimum of 3 primary
K9 vehicles required as there are three K9 officers. These vehicles are anticipated to get 12k
miles a year and this is attributed to additional travel for training. Chairman Perry asked if there
would be 10-12 vehicles on hand; City Manager Wier stated yes, between 10-12. Chief Griffin
stated that the vehicles that are no longer on patrol can be used for training, travel, and
Emergency Vehicles Operation Course (EVOC), which is a basic pursuit training. Committee
Member Tinkler stated that due to the climate and salt air, she was not expecting that a patrol car
would last 10-15 years. Chief Griffin stated that these vehicles are running all of the time and not
staying parked for long periods of time. Chief Griffin stated that the previous patrol vehicles had
high mileage and were not in the best of shape; Measure S has afforded the police department
to get safer, more sound patrol vehicles for the Department.
City Manager Wier went over the PD facility plan. Chairman Perry asked when this project would
take place; Finance Director Leaver stated they are hoping to go out to bid late Summer or Fall;
City Manager Wier stated that construction would begin next year. Chairman Perry asked how
the patrol vehicles are taken out of commission; City Manager Wier explained that there is a
government auction site that is used to auction off former patrol vehicles. Chief Griffin gave an
update on staffing, that there will be a reserve officer come on board soon and that they will soon
be up to full staffing. Vice-Chair Shamblin asked if the money from the vehicle sale goes back to
the General Fund; City Manager Wier stated it depends on where the funding had initially come
from, that it would go back to that fund.
City Manager Wier reported to the Committee that there are no changes to the Crescent City Fire
and Rescue budget for FY23/24. For FY24/25 budget, there are the following budgeted costs
shared with the District – volunteer stipends, station staffing, full-time Captain positions, training,
Command Department Training System, volunteer recruitment and retention, equipment and
tools, rope rescue equipment, apparatus radios, turnouts and helmets and transfer to
vehicle/equipment fund for future turnouts. What has been budgeted as City-only costs are the
following; transfer to apparatus replacement fund, transfer to vehicle/equipment fund (quick
response vehicle), transfer to vehicle/equipment fund (Chief command vehicle), SCBA for the
City, and transfer to vehicle/equipment fund for future SCBAs. Fire Chief Carey stated that all of
the radios in the rigs are old and need to be replaced. City Manager Wier discussed the
replacement of apparatuses. Chairman Perry asked how much a new rig would be; Chief Carey
stated it is anywhere between $900k to $1million. He also stated that he has been in discussions
with Elk Valley Rancheria for possible funding to assist with it’s purchase.
City Manager Wier reported that for the Pool, the biggest change in that budget was in parts and
supplies. The slide pump was originally in the budget, however, since there is a spare, it doesn’t
need to be in this budget. The pool recirculation pump is only going to cost $5k, which resulted
in some savings. City Manager Wier stated that the bid for the HVAC project, has a base bid of
2|Page
4/30/24 MEASURE S MINUTES
$1,156,017. The base bid includes installation of a dehumidification system and replacing the
boilers in kind. This project, if approved, will increase the temperature and humidity control
resulting in better comfort for swimmers, bystanders, and staff as well as a building that will have
a longer useful life.
Vice-Chair Shamblin would like to see the difference between the General Fund (GF) and
Measure S funds. Director Leaver stated that was included in the Audit Report in the last meeting.
City Manager Wier showed a graph that showed before Measure S funding and the budget
afterwards. Measure S is really augmenting the GF and the GF is putting in more. Vice Chair
Shamblin appreciated seeing how much Measure S augments the General Fund. Director Leaver
explained the process the sales tax auditor does in detail and that they are very accurate in their
predictions for Measure S funds.
City Manager Wier went over this year’s budget for streets. Staff recommended to not purchase
the crack seal machine, but to hire a contractor to perform the crack sealing instead, therefore
that has been removed from the budget. The proposed FY24/25 recommended Measure S budget
for street improvements includes $200k in minor street/pedestrian repairs (potholes, crack seal,
and sidewalk repairs/replacement) plus $600k in a large street project. Then there is a typical
budget for street striping and streetlights. We have a total of $1.1million to be used for street
projects. Regarding the slide at Pebble Beach Drive, the emergency funding will not be coming
through. However, there is $32million authorized by the Federal Highways, but the City would
have to front the money and then wait to be reimbursed, which could take years. The options for
the Committee to consider for Pebble Beach Drive are the following: not expend any of the funds
listed above until an official determination/options for the repair of Pebble Beach are known,
expend only the minor repair budget of approximately $250k in FY23/24 plus $200k in FY24/25
and save the unallocated major road repair funds in the amount of $1,525,000 until more is known
about the Pebble Beach Drive project funding, or expend all of the funds as originally intended on
local road projects. This last option would limit the City’s future options regarding the repair and
stabilization of Pebble Beach Drive. Director Yeager gave a PowerPoint presentation on the street
projects. Chairman Perry stated he proposes the Committee adopts what has been presented
tonight as they have been very well informed. The projects that have been budgeted this year is
what he is proposing the Committee recommends. He further stated that the opportunity should
be seized for an important project; Committee Member Reno agreed, should use the funds for
the projects before the Committee and what has already been budgeted. Vice-Chair Shamblin
agrees; Committee Member Tinkler stated that she would like to see the funds be used for what
the voters voted for.
There were no comments from the public.
On a motion by Committee Member Reno, seconded by Vice-Chair Shamblin, and carried
unanimously on a 4-0 polled vote, the Measure S Oversight Committee approved and adopted

RECOMMENDED EXPENDITURES OF MEASURE S FUNDS FOR FY 24/25
City Manager Wier went over the current FY24-25 budget for Measure S funds in detail covering
the Fred Endert Municipal Pool, Crescent City Police Department, Crescent City Fire and Rescue
and streets. Chief Carey reported to the Committee the need for SCBAs and that they just
received word the FEMA grant applied for was not awarded to the City, however Measure S
funding has been instrumental in helping to fund them. Chairman Perry asked about the
expenditures for the fire department; Chief Carey explained the equipment that will be purchased
is for the apparatuses. He further explained that the costs will be shared between the City and
the District. The main focus of the fire department is to get the equipment updated and a 10-year
plan has been laid out to budget those items. Staff is asking the Measure S Oversight Committee
to approve $10k from the City for turnouts and SCBAs, with the District matching the funds.
Director Yeager gave a detailed report on the pool projects with Engineering Project Manager
VanHook giving more detail of the projects to be done during the pool closure.
City Manager Wier explained the amended Expenditure Recommendations that are listed in
Exhibit A. The amendments are as follows: Fire Department: turnouts and helmets – current
budget is $50k, recommended budget is $70k. The Fire District reimbursement: current budget is
$390,840 the recommended budget is $400,840. For police department facility improvements,
the recommended budget is $90k to be transferred into CIP fund. For street improvements: pot
hole, crack seal, and minor repairs, sidewalk repair or install, striping, street lights, grant match
for HSIP sidewalk project (transfer to CIP) and street preservation project (transfer to CIP fund) –
budget is $1,143,374. For the Fred Endert Swimming Pool: operations, equipment, parts, repairs,
transfer to CIP fund (HVAC/dehumidification project) – recommended budget: $375k. For the
Finance Department: independent audit and sales tax consultant (projections & business audits)
recommended budget: $7,991.
Chairman Perry stated he would like to see the maintenance expenses be tracked to ensure they
are being done. Is in support of what staff is presenting for Measure S expenses. Committee
Member Tinkler asked about the $120k contingency for the Pool CIP project; City Manager Wier
asked Chairman Perry if he wanted to see the contingency be 15% - 20% for specific maintenance
items; Chairman Perry stated he is more concerned with the deferred maintenance and would
like to see more funds for the contingency. City Manager Wier suggested bumping the
contingency up $50k, from $120k to $170k, so the work can get done while the pool is closed and
there won’t be a need to hold off on any work for approval of more funding. If the contingency
isn’t fully used, it will be returned to the Measure S budget. The Measure S Oversight Committee
was in consensus to add $50k to the contingency. City Manager Wier went over the detailed
summary of the 5-year plan for Measure S funds.
On a motion by Vice-Chair Shamblin, seconded by Committee Member Tinkler and carried on a
5-0 polled vote, the Measure S Oversight Committee approved and adopted Resolution No.

Oversight Committee is to place those funds in CIP. Committee Member Reno asked if any of the
work can be done by City staff to save money; Director Yeager said that due to not having the
correct kind of machinery, City staff cannot do the work.
The following resident addressed the Committee:
Kelly Feola: asked if the contingency for the Pool would be placed in the HVAC project or
additional maintenance issues; Chairman Perry stated it would be for the deferred maintenance,

AGENDA REPORT
TO: CHAIR PERRY AND MEMBERS OF THE MEASURE S OVERSIGHT
COMMITTEE
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: LINDA LEAVER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: FEBRUARY 11, 2025
SUBJECT: MEASURE S OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE ANNUAL REPORT FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions from the Committee
• Receive public comment
• Further Committee discussion
• Approve and adopt Resolution No. MS 2025-01, A RESOLUTION OF THE
CRESCENT CITY MEASURE S OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE APPROVING
A REPORT ON MEASURE S FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024
BACKGROUND
Attached are the Measure S financial statements and independent auditor’s report for
Fiscal Year 2023-2024 prepared by Badawi & Associates. The City’s Measure S financial
statements are provided to give an accurate financial snapshot at a specific point in time
(June 30, 2024). The City Council engages a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) to
independently audit these statements to provide users of financial reports with assurance
concerning their reliability and that the statements are fairly presented.
The independent auditor reviews and tests the City’s records and policies, interviews City
staff, and confirms certain details with outside parties (including banks, the State, the
County, the City’s insurance provider, legal firms, local businesses, and others) in order
to provide an opinion on whether the financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the City. Audit work begins after the fiscal year ends
(June 30) and continues through several phases taking approximately six months.
One of the Measure S Oversight Committee’s responsibilities is to review and publicly
Measure S Oversight Committee FY 2023-2024 Annual Report 2
February 11, 2025
report on the annual expenditure of Measure S revenues.
ANALYSIS
Measure S revenues and expenses occur within the City’s General Fund using a specific
set of account codes for tracking. Any remaining balance at the end of a given fiscal year
is labeled “Assigned Measure S” and reported as a separate line item on the City’s
General Fund financial statements. The Measure S revenues and expenses are audited
by the City’s independent auditor as part of the City’s overall financial audit as well as a
stand-alone audit report for Measure S. Both the city-wide audit and the Measure S audit
reports are posted on the City’s website and can be found at
www.crescentcity.org/departments/Finance/AuditsandBudgets.
As a general overview, Measure S had a balance of $1,141,510 when the fiscal year FY
2023-2024 began. The FY 2023-2024 budget recommendation was approved by the
Measure S Oversight Committee by Resolution No. MS 2023-03 on April 10, 2023, which
was incorporated into the City’s FY 2023-2024 budget by the City Council. The Oversight
Committee gave updated recommendations as follows, all of which were incorporated
into the City’s budget by the City Council:
• November 14, 2023 meeting (Resolution No. MS 2023-04)
o Re-budget items budgeted but not spent in FY 2022-2023
▪ Fire: SCBA compressor, skid-mounted pump, radios
▪ Police: radios
▪ Streets: minor repairs, sidewalk repairs, striping
o Move budgeted debt service payment for Police Department facility
improvements into capital improvement fund
• April 30, 2024 meeting (Resolution No. MS 2024-02)
o Move pool parts budget to capital improvement budget
o Remove purchase of crack seal machine
FY 2023-2024 Revenues
In FY 2023-2024 total Measure S revenues were budgeted at $2,701,260 (tax revenue
and reimbursement from Crescent Fire Protection District) and actual revenue was
$2,692,977. Tax revenues came in slightly above budget and Fire District
reimbursements came in below budget.
The Fire District and the City have a joint powers agreement to provide combined fire
service to both the City and District. The shared operations are administered by the City,
which pays the expenses and then bills the District for reimbursement of the District’s
share of the costs. Some of the City’s fire department costs are budgeted using Measure
S funds, as recommended by the Measure S Oversight Committee and approved by the
City Council (such as the full-time fire captains, a portion of the volunteer firefighter
stipends, certain equipment, training, etc.). For those expenses, the full expense is
budgeted with Measure S funds, and the amount billed to the District (plus an
administrative fee) is then returned to the Measure S balance as revenue.

The table below shows the original and final budgets as approved by the City Council and

time of budget approval (particularly for wages and benefits).

Total expenses 2,980,295 3,257,813 2,771,394 (486,419)
The specific items within each department are shown in an attachment to this report.
The items listed as “transfers” represent the Measure S contribution toward a specific
capital improvement or capital purchase. Measure S transfers the money into the
appropriate capital improvement fund until the project can be completed. Therefore, in
the Measure S fund balance, the transfer is the expense, showing the money has been
removed from Measure S and dedicated to the capital project. Those funds are not
included in the ending fund balance of Measure S, as they have already been transferred
to another fund. The exact project may or may not have been completed at the time of
the audit. A detailed list of those projects and their remaining balance as of June 30, 2024
is also attached to this report. The funds continue to be tracked to ensure they are spent
on Measure S priorities.

year (FY 2024-2025). An update of the current year activities will be in a separate agenda
item for this meeting.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Crescent City
Crescent City, California
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Measure S Sales Tax (Measure S Sales Tax)
of the City of Crescent City (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the
financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Measure S Sales Tax of the City as of June 30, 2024 and the changes in financial position for the year then
ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical
responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the Measure S Sales Tax and do not purport to,
and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2024, and the changes in its
financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Crescent City
Crescent City, California
Page 2
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is
not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher
than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a
substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a
reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that
raise substantial doubt about City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period
of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related
matters that we identified during the audit.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Measure S Sales Tax of the City. The budgetary comparison schedule is presented for
purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements.
The budgetary comparison schedule is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Such
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements
and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally
2
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Crescent City

accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the budgetary comparison schedule is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 30, 2024
on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance
with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The
purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial
reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control over financial reporting and
compliance.

City of Crescent City
Measure S Sales Tax
Notes to Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2024
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
All transactions of the Measure S sales tax (Measure S) are reported in the General Fund (Fund) of the
City of Crescent City, California (City). A separate set of accounts have been established by the City, to
account for revenues earned and expenditures incurred according to Measure S. The accompanying
financial statements are for the Measure S sales tax only and are not intended to fairly present the
financial position of the City.
B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Revenues are generally recorded when measurable and available (60 days), and expenditures are
recorded when the related liabilities are incurred.
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement
focus. All governmental funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus,
wherein only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet.
Operating statements of governmental funds present increases (revenues and other financing sources)
and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
C. Fund Accounting
The operations of the Measure S sales tax are accounted for as part of the General Fund. Funds are
separate accounting entities with a set of self-balancing accounts which comprise their assets, liabilities,
fund equity, revenues, and expenditures.
D. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
E. Revenues and Receivables
During the course of normal operations, the General fund carries a receivable balance for Measure S
sales tax. Revenues are recorded when received in cash, except revenues subject to accrual (generally 60
days after year-end) are recognized when due.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2024
2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Measure S monies are pooled with the City's cash, cash equivalents, and investments. The City pools
cash resources from all funds to facilitate the management of cash. Cash and cash equivalents are
considered amounts on hand, in demand deposits, and short-term investments with a maturity date
within three months of the date acquired by the City and are presented as "Cash and Investments". The
City invests in one external investment pool, the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund
(LAIF).
All pooled cash and investments held by the City are considered cash and cash equivalents because
LAIF is used essentially as demand deposits from the standpoint of the City. Information about the
City's Cash and Investments is disclosed in the City's Basic Financial Statement.
Measure S cash and investments was $568,524 as of June 30, 2024.
3. MEASURE S SALES TAX
The City placed Measure S (a 1% local tax measure) on the ballot for the November 3, 2020 general
election. This transactions and use tax (generally referred to as a sales tax) is intended to support and
maintain essential services including the City's police and fire departments, street maintenance and
repair, and the operations of the municipal swimming pool. Measure S is a general tax, which requires
voter approval of at least 50% +1. The voters of Crescent City approved the measure with 64.57% voting
yes.
One of the requirements included with the Measure S ordinance is a citizens’ oversight committee. The
committee is made up of five voting members (City residents) and two non-voting members (City staff).
The committee is charged with reviewing and reporting to the public on the revenues and expenditures
of Measure S funds. The committee is also charged with making recommendations on the expenditure
of Measure S funds to the City Council. All Measure S oversight committee meetings are open to the
public. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the oversight committee recommended Measure S be
spent on public pool operations and projects, additional firefighters and police, specific equipment for
the fire and police departments, street repairs, and financial oversight.
4. RECEIVABLES
The taxes receivables represent the Measure S sales tax revenues for the fiscal year remitted after June
30, 2024.
Accounts receivables represent charges for services for work performed for other entities.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE
AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Crescent City
Crescent City, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued
by the Comptroller General of the United States, the basic financial statements of the Measure S Sales Tax as
of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued
our report thereon dated December 30, 2024.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered City's internal control over
financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of City's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management
or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct,
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City's
financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a
material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses
may exist that have not been identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Measure S Sales Tax financial statements are
free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material
effect on the financial statements. 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 or other matters that is required to be reported under Government
Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this
communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

second. Staff suggest the following nomination / selection procedure:
1. Nominations for Chair: Any member of the Committee may nominate any sitting
committee member to serve as Chair. Said nominated committee member shall
either accept or decline the nomination. Once all nominations have been made,
the then presiding Chair shall announce that nominations are closed and the
names of those committee members that have accepted their nomination.
2. Appointment of Chair: Any member of the Committee may then make a motion to
appoint any one of the nominees as Chair. Standard motion procedures apply (see

3. Nominations for Vice Chair: Any member of the Committee may nominate any
sitting committee member to serve as Vice Chair except the member chosen to
serve as Mayor. Said nominated committee member shall either accept or decline
