<br />NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES <br /> <br />A. Commitments for Construction <br /> <br />At December 31, 2009, the City is committed to various construction contracts for the improvement of <br />city property. The City's remaining commitment under these contracts is $1,444,138. The City has <br />resources available to cover these commitments. <br /> <br />B. Federal and State Revenue <br /> <br />Amounts received or receivable from federal and state agencies are subject to agency audit and <br />adjustment. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the <br />applicable funds. The amount, if any, of claims which may be disallowed by the grantor agencies cannot <br />be determined at this time, although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial. <br /> <br />C. Legal Claims <br /> <br />The City has the usual and customary type of miscellaneous legal claims pending at year-end. Although <br />the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, the City's management believes that the City <br />will not incur any material monetary loss resulting from these claims. No loss has been recorded on the <br />City's financial statements relating to these claims. <br /> <br />The City's tax increment districts are subject to review by the state of Minnesota Office of the State <br />Auditor (OSA). Any disallowed claims or misuse of tax increments could become a liability of the <br />applicable fund. Management has indicated that they are not aware of any instances of noncompliance <br />which would have a material effect on the financial statements. <br /> <br />-51- <br />
