• The City of Pleasanton Transportation Development Act Article III Fund <br />Financial Statements and Independent Auditors' Reports is the required <br />audit report for the grant funds received by the City for sidewalk ramp/pedestrian <br />trail projects. Copies of the report are submitted to the Metropolitan <br />Transportation Commission for their review to show that we are in compliance <br />with the requirements governing expenditures of MTC funds for the year ending <br />June 30, 2008. <br />• The City of Pleasanton Independent Accountants' Report on Agreed-Upon <br />Procedures Applied to Appropriations Limit Schedule is required by the <br />State of California in Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. <br />Article XIIIB of the California Constitution limits the amount that governmental <br />agencies can annually appropriate from proceeds of taxes. An annual <br />calculation, factoring in population and inflation changes, is performed each year <br />to determine the new appropriation limit. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Auditing standards require the City's independent auditors to discuss their findings with <br />the City's Audit Committee, which was done on January 16, 2009. Councilmember <br />Jerry Thorne and Councilmember Cheryl Cook-Kallio serve on the Audit Committee. <br />Also on the committee are the City Manager and the Director of Finance. Findings <br />concerning certain internal control procedures or operations as of December 2008 were <br />presented in a report titled "Report to the City Council and Management". The <br />committee discussed the auditors' comments with them and there were no concerns of <br />significance. Staff values the auditor recommendations and will continue to improve our <br />controls, policies and procedures. <br />Submitted by: Approved <br />David P.
