APR ?., 1980 <br /> <br /> U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE <br /> ~CONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMiNiSTRATiON <br /> MIDWESTERN REGIOi~AL OFFICE <br />175 WEST JACKSON BOULEVARD, SUITE A-1630 <br /> CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60604 <br /> <br />Mr. Lloyd G. Schnelle <br />City Administrator <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Boulevard <br />Anoka, Minnesota 55303 <br /> <br />Re: EDA/LPW Project No. 06-51-02857 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Schnelle: <br /> <br />We reviewed the audit report dated December 21, 1979 submitted by <br />Deloitte Haskins & Sells, Certified Public Accountants, and the <br />related memorandum of the Office of the Inspector General, U. S. <br />Department of Commerce, Chicago Regional Office and concurred with <br />their findings and recommendations. <br /> <br />The total project cost reported was $596,266 and the EDA grant <br />amounted to $595,058. The auditors ~e~'i~d the .total' of $9,891 <br />or $350.00 i~ ~~trative Costs because of lack of adequate <br />documentations and $9,541 in Basic A/E Fees because the costs <br />incurred prior to submission of the grant application. However, <br />since the total project costs exceeded the EDA grant by $1,208, the <br />recommended refund to EDA is $8,683. <br /> <br />Our office found the basis for questioning the Administrative Costs <br />consistent with FMC 74-4 which requires that charges against the <br />project must be supported by appropriate documentations (See Audit <br />Instruction for Local Public Works Grants Under Title I of the <br />Public Works Employment Acts of 1976 and 1977, Appendix E, FMC 74-4, <br />Attachment B, Part B,10.b.). Regarding the questioned Basic A/E <br />Fees, the Standard Terms and Conditiohs of this grant under D.3 <br />states: <br /> <br />The Grantee agrees that no part of any project funded in <br />whole or in part by this program can include maintenance <br />costs or reimbursements of any costs including any adminis- <br />trative, architectural, engineering, and/or related <br />planning costs, incurred prior to the date of submission <br />of the application to EDA, excepting those expenses incurred <br />under the "Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property <br />Acquisition Act of 1970" for "Uniform Relocation Assistance <br />Expenses and Payments." <br /> <br /> <br />
