Accordingly, we do <br /> not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. <br /> A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow <br /> management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or <br /> detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination <br /> of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement <br /> of the City's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A <br /> significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less <br /> severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with <br /> governance. <br /> Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this <br /> section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material <br /> weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any <br /> deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However,material weaknesses <br /> may exist that have not been identified. <br /> (continued) <br /> -1- <br /> Malloy, Montague, Karnowski, Radosevich, & Co., P.A. <br /> 5353 Wayzata Boulevard • Suite 410 •Minneapolis.
