<br />INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO CITY MANAGEMENT
<br />
<br />To the Honorable Mayor
<br />and Members of the City Council
<br />City of Plantation, Florida
<br />
<br />We have audited the financial statements of the City of Plantation, Florida (the "City"), as of
<br />and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, and have issued our report thereon dated May
<br />19, 2010.
<br />
<br />We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
<br />United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
<br />Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular
<br />A-133, Audits of State, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. We have issued our
<br />Independent Auditors I Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Compliance and
<br />Other Matters, Independent Auditors' Report on Compliance with Requirements Applicable to
<br />each Major Federal Program and State Project and on Internal Control over Compliance, and
<br />Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Disclosures in those reports and schedule, which are
<br />dated May 19, 2010, should be considered in conjunction with this management letter.
<br />
<br />Additionally, our audit was conducted in accordance with the Chapter 10.550, Rules of the
<br />Auditor General, which govern the conduct of local governmental entity audits performed in the
<br />State of Florida. This letter includes the following information, which is not included in the
<br />aforementioned auditors' reports or schedule:
<br />
<br />Section 1O.554(1)(i)1., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we determine whether or
<br />not corrective actions have been taken to address findings and recommendations made in the
<br />preceding annual financial audit report. Corrective actions have been taken to address significant
<br />findings and recommendations made in the preceding annual financial audit report, except as
<br />noted in the Summary Schedule of Prior Audit Findings on pages 13 and 14.
<br />
<br />Section 1O.554(1)(i)2., Rules of the Auditor General, requires our audit to include a review of
<br />the provisions of Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, regarding the investment of public funds. In
<br />connection with our audit, we determined that the City of Plantation, Florida complied with
<br />Section 218.415, Florida Statutes.
<br />
<br />Section 1O.554(1)(i)3., Rules of the Auditor General, requires that we address in the
<br />management letter any recommendations to improve financial management. In connection with
<br />our audit, our recommendations to improve financial management are included in the Schedule of
<br />Findings and Questioned Costs, Part B.
