Carlson & Cottrell as auditors and the first since the OPGA was added to the scope of the city
audit.
All audit work is complete and the financial statements are enclosed. Joe Carlson will represent
the accounting firm and will present the audit to the City Council at the meeting Tuesday night.
If the Council has any questions or would like additional information after that presentation, I
