<br />INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
<br />ON MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE
<br />We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
<br />America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
<br />issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental
<br />activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of
<br />the City of Ramsey, Minnesota (the City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the related
<br />notes to financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements, and have
<br />issued our report thereon dated June 10, 2013.
<br />The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Political Subdivisions, promulgated by the Office of
<br />the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statute § 6.65 contains seven categories of compliance to be
<br />tested: contracting and bidding, deposits and investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness,
<br />claims and disbursements, miscellaneous provisions, and tax increment financing. Our audit included all
<br />of the listed categories.
<br />In connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City failed to
<br />comply with the provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Political Subdivisions,
<br />except as described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as item 2012 -1.
<br />However, our audit was not directed primarily toward obtaining knowledge of such noncompliance.
<br />Accordingly, had we performed additional procedures, other matters may have come to our attention
<br />regarding the City's noncompliance with the above referenced provisions.
<br />The City's response to the legal compliance finding identified in our audit has been included in the
<br />Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. The City's response was not subject to the auditing
<br />procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
<br />The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of compliance and the results of
<br />that testing, and not to provide an opinion on compliance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any
<br />other purpose.
