The Colorado Urban Renewal Law indicates that one commissioner is appointed by the board of county commissioners for the county in which the urban renewal area is located. The Weld County Board of Commissioners has appointed Lori Saine. To avoid an even number of commissioners, the mayor appoints an additional citizen member. Mayor Adam Morehead appointed Rick Gerk by City Council Resolution 23-03 on January 9, 2023. Rick Gerk will serve as the Mayoral appointee to the Authority with a term expiring in June 2025. URAD Resolution 23-01 accepts and appoints commissioners to the Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono. URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY OF DACONO RESOLUTION NO. 23-01 A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING AND MAKING APPOINTMENTS OF COMMISSIONERS TO THE URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY OF DACONO WHEREAS, the Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono (the “Authority”) is a duly constituted urban authority, established and operating pursuant to the laws of the State of Colorado, and in particular the provisions of C.R.S. § 31-25-104; and WHEREAS, H.B. 15-1348 effected changes to Urban Renewal Law, C.R.S. § 31-25-101, et. seq., including the provisions establishing membership of the boards of urban renewal authorities; and WHEREAS, C.R.S. § 31-25-104(2.5) provides, in part: “[I]n order to represent the collective interests of the county and all taxing bodies levying a mill levy within the boundaries of the urban renewal authority area other than the municipality, one additional commissioner on the authority must be appointed by the board of county commissioners of the county in which the territorial boundaries of the urban renewal authority area are located, one additional commissioner must also be a board member of a special district selected by agreement of the special districts levying a mill levy within the boundaries of the urban renewal authority area, and one additional commissioner must also be an elected member of a board of education of a school district levying a mill levy within the boundaries of the urban renewal authority area. If the number of members of the governing body causes the authority to have an even number of commissioners, the mayor shall appoint an additional commissioner to restore an odd number of commissioners to the authority. As applicable, the appointment of the county, special district, and school district representatives on the authority pursuant to this subsection (2.5) must be made in accordance with the procedures specified in subsection (2) of this section;” and WHEREAS, the Authority received written notification from Weld County of the appointment of Commissioner Lori Saine to serve as a Commissioner on the Authority as a replacement for Commissioner Perry Buck; and WHEREAS, following the appointment of Commissioner Lori Saine the Authority will have an even number of Commissioners, which creates the opportunity for the Mayor of the City of Dacono to appoint an additional Commissioner in order to create an odd number; and WHEREAS, to restore an odd number of commissioners to the Authority, the Mayor of the City of Dacono appoints Rick Gerk to serve as a Commissioner on the Authority as the Mayoral appointee. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY OF DACONO: Section 1. The foregoing Recitals are incorporated herein by this reference. 25117229.4 Section 2. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 31-25-104(2.5), the Authority accepts and recognizes the appointment of Weld County Commissioner Lori Saine to the Authority. Section 3. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 31-25-104(2.5), the Authority accepts and recognizes the appointment of Rick Gerk to serve as the Mayoral appointee to this Authority for a term expiring in June 2025. Section 4. A copy of this Resolution on file with the City Clerk shall serve as a certificate of such appointment pursuant to C.R.S. § 31-25-104(2)(b). Section 5. This Resolution shall be effective upon approval by the Authority. INTRODUCED, READ and ADOPTED this 1st day of February 2023. URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY OF DACONO ____________________________________ Jackie Thomas, Chairperson ATTEST: ___________________________________ Jennifer Krieger, Secretary/Executive Director 25117229.4 Meeting Date: February 1, 2023 Agenda Item: URAD Resolution 23-02, a Resolution approving an Engagement Letter by and between the Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono and Wipfli, LLP, for audit services. Presenter: Jennifer Krieger, AICP, URAD Executive Director Background: The Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono must have an annual audit. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Authority engaged Wipfli, LLP. The attached audit engagement letter shows that the proposed 2022 audit fee is $6,000 compared to $5,850 for last year. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of URAD Resolution 23-02. CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP, suggests staying with the same auditor for at least a few years. The pool of state and local government auditors is small, and most audit firms will probably come in much higher than the $6,000 fee. Additionally, many audit firms are not accepting new engagements due to staffing challenges. URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY OF DACONO RESOLUTION NO. 23-02 A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN ENGAGEMENT LETTER BY AND BETWEEN THE URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY OF DACONO AND WIPFLI, LLP., FOR AUDIT SERVICES NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DACONO, COLORADO: Section 1. The proposed Professional Services Agreement for audit services (“Agreement”) by and between the Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono and Wipfli, LLP, is hereby approved in essentially the same form as the copy of such Engagement Letter accompanying this resolution. Section 2. The Chairperson is hereby authorized to execute the Engagement Letter and is further authorized to negotiate and approve on behalf of the Authority such revisions to the Engagement Letter as the Chairperson determines are necessary or desirable for the protection of the Authority, so long as the essential terms and conditions of the Engagement Letter are not altered. INTRODUCED, READ, and ADOPTED this 1st day of February 2023. URBAN RENEWAL AUTHORITY OF DACONO ____________________________________ Jackie Thomas, Chairperson ATTEST: ___________________________________ Jennifer Krieger, Executive Director 14143 Denver W Parkway #450 303 988 1900 Lakewood, CO 80401 wipfli.com November 7, 2022 Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono c/o CliftonLarsonAllen LP 8390 E. Crescent Pkwy, Suite 300 Greenwood Village, CO 80111 We are pleased to serve as the independent auditors for Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono (“Client”) for the year ended December 31, 2022. This letter, together with the attached Professional Services Terms and Conditions – Attest Engagements, confirms the terms of our engagement, and are collectively referred to herein as the “Letter” or the “Engagement Letter”. Fees Our fees for this engagement will be billed as work progresses, and progress billings may be submitted. Based upon our discussions with representatives of Client, the fee for this engagement will be $6,000. Expenses for items such as travel, telephone, postage, clerical time, printing, and reproduction of financial statements are included in the fee. Our fee has been determined based on our understanding obtained through discussions with you regarding your preparation for the engagement and your current business operations. To the extent we encounter circumstances outside of our expectations that warrant additional procedures and time, we will communicate that fact and advise you of options and the additional fees necessary to complete the engagement. We expect payment of our billings within 30 days after submission. Our fees for the services described below are based upon the value of the services performed and the time required by the individuals assigned to the engagement. Our fee estimate and completion of our work are based upon the following criteria: 1. Anticipated cooperation from Client personnel 2. Timely responses to our inquiries 3. Timely completion and delivery of client assistance requests 4. Timely communication of all significant accounting and financial reporting matters 5. The assumption that unexpected circumstances will not be encountered during the engagement. If any of the aforementioned criteria are not met, then the fees may increase. Interim billings will be submitted as work progresses and as expenses are incurred. Audit Scope and Objectives We will audit Client’s financial statements, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the disclosures (collectively, the “financial statements”), and if applicable, supplementary information. Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono Page 2 November 7, 2022 The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether Client’s financial statements taken as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion about whether Client’s financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements, including omissions, can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they could influence the judgment of a reasonable user made based on the financial statements. The supplementary information accompanying the financial statements will be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our 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 GAAS, and we will provide an opinion on it in relation to the financial statements as a whole. The other information accompanying the financial statements will not be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements, and our auditor’s report will not provide an opinion or any assurance on that other information. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements We will conduct our audit in accordance with GAAS and will include tests of your accounting records and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such an opinion. As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. An audit includes an evaluation of the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as an evaluation of the overall presentation of the financial statements, including the disclosures, to assess whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. To express an opinion, we are required to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether from (1) errors, (2) fraudulent financial reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable to Client or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of Client. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, combined with the inherent limitations of internal control, and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements may not be detected by us, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with GAAS. 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 the appropriate level of management of any material errors, fraudulent financial reporting, or misappropriation of assets that come to our attention. We will also inform the appropriate level of management of any violations of laws or government 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. Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono Page 3 November 7, 2022 In the conduct of our audit, we will obtain an understanding of Client and its environment, including internal control relevant to the audit, sufficient to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and to design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 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, misrepresentation, or the override of internal control. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify deficiencies in internal control. Accordingly, we will express no such opinion. 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. In performing our audit, we will consider and conclude whether, based on the audit evidence obtained, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, which raise substantial doubt about Client’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts and may include tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of cash, receivables, loan balances, and certain assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected customers, funding sources, creditors, and financial institutions. We may also request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement, and they may submit an invoice for responding to this inquiry. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Our audit will be conducted on the basis that management acknowledges and understands its responsibility for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, including monitoring ongoing activities; for the selection and application of accounting principles; and for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Management is also responsible for making available to us drafts of financial statements, all financial records, and related information, and for the accuracy and completeness of that information (including information from outside of the general and subsidiary ledgers). Management is also responsible for providing us with (1) access to all information of which it is aware that is relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, such as records, documentation, identification of all related parties and all related-party relationships and transactions, and other matters; (2) additional information that we may request for the purpose of the audit; and (3) unrestricted access to persons within Client from whom we determine it necessary to obtain audit evidence. Management is responsible for adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements and for confirming to us in the management representation letter that the effects of any uncorrected misstatements aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono Page 4 November 7, 2022 Management is responsible for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud, and for informing us about all known or suspected fraud affecting Client involving (1) management, (2) employees who have significant roles in internal control, and (3) others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. Management is also responsible for informing us of its knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting Client received in communications from employees, former employees, regulators, or others. In addition, management is responsible for identifying and ensuring that Client complies with applicable laws and regulations. Management is responsible for the preparation of the supplementary information in conformity with GAAP. Management agrees to include our report on the supplementary information in any document that contains, and indicates that we have reported on, the supplementary information. Management also agrees to include the audited financial statements with any presentation of the supplementary information that includes our report thereon. We cannot perform management functions or make management decisions on behalf of Client. However, we may provide advice and recommendations to assist management in performing its functions and fulfilling its responsibilities. We may advise management about appropriate accounting principles and their application, but the responsibility for the financial statements remains with management. At the conclusion of our audit, we will require certain written representations from management about the financial statements and related matters. Because of the importance of management’s representations to an effective audit, Client agrees to release and indemnify Wipfli LLP (“Wipfli”), its partners, employees, agents, and assigns from any claim, liability, cost, or expense relating to our services under this Engagement Letter attributable in any respect to any knowing misrepresentation by management. The preceding sentence shall not apply and shall be of no effect in the event its application, in the judgment of any government body or regulatory agency, would impair our independence as your auditor. Reporting We will issue a written report upon completion of our audit of Client’s financial statements. Our report will be addressed to the board of directors. Circumstances may arise in which our report may differ from its expected form and content based on the results of our audit. Depending on the nature of these circumstances, it may be necessary for us to modify our opinion, add a separate section, or add an emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraph to our auditor’s report, or if necessary, withdraw from this engagement. If our opinion is other than unmodified, we will discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete the audit or are unable to form or have not formed an opinion, we may decline to express an opinion or withdraw from this engagement. If Client intends to reproduce or publish these financial statements or any portion thereof, whether in paper or electronic form, subsequent to anticipated year-end filings, and make reference to our firm name in connection therewith, management agrees to provide us with proofs in sufficient time for our review and written approval before printing. If in our professional judgment the circumstances require, we may withhold our approval. Client agrees to compensate Wipfli for the time associated with such review. Urban Renewal Authority of Dacono Page 5 November 7, 2022 Client acknowledges and agrees that any advice, recommendations, information, or work product provided to Client by Wipfli in connection with this engagement is for the sole use of Client and may not be relied upon by any third party. Wipfli has no liability or responsibility to any third parties as a result of this engagement. Management Assistance Assistance to be supplied by Client personnel, including the preparation of schedules and analysis of accounts, has been discussed with appropriate personnel. Timely completion of this work will facilitate the completion of our engagement. Engagement Partner Greg Livin will be your audit engagement partner. Other Services We may prepare (or assist in preparing) Client financial statements in conformity with GAAP based on information provided by management, but the responsibility for the financial statements remains with management. Management agrees to assume all management responsibilities for these services; oversee the services by designating an individual, preferably from senior management, with suitable skill, knowledge, or experience; evaluate the adequacy and results of the services; and accept responsibility for them.
