5. AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT APPROVED. The Council reviewed the Audited Financial Statement for the period ending June 30, 2018. Gabe Miller discussed the independent auditor’s report. It is the auditor’s opinion that the City has complied with all of the laws. It is a clean or unmodified opinion. He also discussed the management discussion and analysis. The City’s assets exceeded its liabilities by $56,840,000. That is the City’s equity. Of this amount, $2.5 million is considered unrestricted net position and may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. The total net position increased by a little over $1.9 million. At the close of the year end as it relates to funds, the ending governmental fund balance was just over $3.4 million which was an increase of just under $600,000. Of that total, approximately $1.75 is available for government spending because it is unassigned or an unrestricted fund balance. The City’s debt did go down the past year by about $824,000.
Rick Roberts discussed the management letter from last year noting that all of the findings last year had been resolved. There was not a management letter this year. Mr. Roberts then discussed the notes found in the financial statements. The City’s compliance was also discussed with no findings. Motion: Accept the Audited Financial Statement ending June 30, 2018, Action: Approved, Moved by Kathy Christensen, Seconded by Connie Nielson.
