2. Don Rahn: 2009 Financial Statements. Don Rahn of Baker Tilly reported on the 2009 financial statements. He reported that the City received a clean opinion and pointed out some financial highlights. Unrestricted General Fund balance is 8.6% of budgeted expenditures compared to 13.7% in 2008. The City is at 57.7% of its debt limit, but this includes some Utility debt. State Aids have been flat over the past 5 years. Rating agencies prefer debt to be in 10-20% of expenditures range, and the City is currently at 17%. Short payback periods on debt are also a positive. Equalized values have been shrinking over the past few years. The Internal Control report compares the City’s controls to textbook models of controls, and the small size of City staff limits the ability to achieve ideal division of duties. The Council is part of the control structure. A common standard of unrestricted fund balance to budgeted expenditures is 15-20% while the City’s ratio has declined to 8.6%. Decentralized collections have little controls and should be reviewed carefully. Any concerns by Council should be communicated to the auditors. No issues related to the conduct of this year’s audit need to be reported to the Council.
