CliftonLarsonAllen LL P CLAconnect.com INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Elk River Elk River, Minnesota We have audited, in accordance with 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 financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Elk River, Minnesota as of and for the year then ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated May 30, 2018. Our report includes a reference to other auditors who audited the financial st atements of the City of Elk River Municipal Utilities, as described in our report on the City of Elk River’s financial statements. This report does not include the results of the other auditors’ testing of internal control over financial reporting or compliance and other matters that are reported on separately by those auditors. The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Cities promulgated by the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statute § 6.65 contains seven categories of compliance to be tested: contracting and bidding, deposits and investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, claims and disbursements, miscellaneous provisions, and tax increment financing. Our audit considered all of the listed categories. In connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City of Elk River, Minnesota failed to comply with the provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Cities. However, our audit was not directed primarily toward obtaining knowledge of such noncompliance. Accordingly, had we performed additional procedures, other matters may have come to our attention regarding the City of Elk River, Minnesota’s noncompliance with the above-referenced provisions. The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of compliance relating to the provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Cities and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. CliftonLarsonAllen LLP Minneapolis, Minnesota May 30, 2018
