At this time Mayor Cairnie asked Mr. Cunningham to read the
annual Audit Report.
Mr. Cunningham: Gentlemen: Pursuant to your request, we have
made an audit of the books and records for the City of Edgewater,
Florida, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1968. Our
certificate reflects an unqualified opinion as to the financial
position of the City of Edgewater at October 31, 1968, and the
results of its operation for the year then ended.
It is the policy of our firm upon completion of an audit
to submit to the Honorable Mayor and Council our comments relating
to the accounts on the combined balance sheet and a management letter
recommending procedures whereby more adequate permanent records
can be maintained and the internal control system strengthened.
While none of the matter we will bring up, or all of them taken
as a whole, are significant enough to negative our opinion of
your financi1a statements, they are in need of your attention.
Our comments on the accounts of the combined balance sheet
follow in the order of their appearance thereon as Exhibit II All
and our management letter as Exhibit IIBII.
We wish to thank you for your co-operation in the preparation
of the audit report and if we can be of further service to you,
please call us.
Respectfully submitted, Robertson, May, Zima & Co.
A question was asked of Mr. Cunningham as to whether the Water &
Sewer were operating jn the black and he answered Yes.
Councilman Dietz: You stated that the Water and Sewer were
operating in the black. Do you think we can stay at our present
status and stay in the black or should we revise and look into
this? Is this the time?
Mr. Cunningham: I do believe this should be looked into.
