Our current auditors, O'Connor, Davics, Munns and Dobbins, were previously approved for a one-year
term of a five year engagement (see attached) at the end of 2011. This was for fiscal year ending May 31,
201 1. which should be completed by the end of this month. The firm has been very knowledgeable' and
professional during our engagement, and is a great improvement over our last auditors, used for the 20092010 fiscal year.
I would like to begin working on fiscal year ending 2011-2012 as soon as possible; therefore, I am
requesting that the Board please approve ODMD for an additional year, at the annual fee of $32,600.00.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I appreciate your consideration in this matter. Thank you.

collectively comprise the basic financial statements of the Village as of and for the years
I 1 ' ? ? I V ? 1 2 , 2 0 1 3 ' 2 0 1 4 a n d 2 0 1 5 - Accounting standards generally
accepted in the United States provide for certain required supplementary information
(RSI), such as management's discussion and analysis (MD&amp;A), to accompany the
Villages basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic
financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who
considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial
statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. As part of our
engagement we will apply certain limited procedures to the Village's RSI in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America These
limited procedures will consist of inquiries of management regarding the methods of
preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with
management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We will not
express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited
procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide
any assurance. The following RSI is required by generally accepted accounting
pnnciples and will be subjected to certain limited procedures, but will not be audited:
1. Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Supplementary information other than RSI also accompanies the Village's financial
statements. We will subject the following supplementary information to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to
the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance

�Audit Procedures—General
An audit includes examining}, on 0 test basis, evidence supporting tli© amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements; therefore, our audit will involve judgment about
the number of transactions to be examined and the areas to be tested. We will plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether from (1) errors (2)
fraudulent financial reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations of laws or
governmental regulations that are attributable to the entity or to acts by management or
employees acting on behalf of the entity. Because the determination of abuse is
subjective. Government Auditing Standards do not expect auditors to provide
reasonable assurance of detecting abuse.
Because an audit is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance and
because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk
that material misstatements or noncompliance may exist and not be detected by us In
addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of
l a m or governmental regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the
financial statements or major programs. However, we will inform you of any material
errors and any fraudulent financial reporting or misappropriation of assets that come to
our attention. We will also inform you of any violations of laws or governmental
regulations that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential, and of any
matenal abuse that comes to our attention. We will include such matters in the reports
required for a Single Audit. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered
by our audit and does not extend to any later periods for which we are not engaged as
8
auditors.
Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions
recorded in the accounts, and may include tests of the physical existence of inventories,
and direct confirmation of receivables and certain other assets and liabilities by
correspondence with selected individuals, funding sources, creditors, and financial
institutions. We will request written representations from your attorneys as part of the
engagement, and they may bill you for responding to this inquiry. At the conclusion of
our audit, we will require certain written representations from you about the financial
statements and related matters.
Audit Procedures—Internal Controls
Our audit will include obtaining an understanding of the entity and its environment
including internal control, sufficient to assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements and to design the nature, timing, and extent of further audit
procedures. Tests of controls may be performed to test the effectiveness of certain
controls that we consider relevant to preventing and detecting errors and fraud that are
matenal to the financial statements and to preventing and detecting misstatements
resulting from illegal acts and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and
matenal effect on the financial statements. Our tests, if performed, will be less in scope
than would be necessary to render an opinion on internal control and, accordingly no
opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to
Government Auditing

Standards.

�As required by OMB Circular A-133 (if applicable), we will perform tests of controls over
compliance to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of controls that we
const er re evant to preventing or detecting materia! noncompliance with compliance
requirements applicable to each major federal award program. However, our tests will
be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on those controls and
accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued
pursuant to OMB Circular A-133.
An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify significant
deficiencies. However, during the audit, we will communicate to management and those
charged with governance internal control related matters that are required to be

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of matenal misstatement, we will perform tests of the Village's compliance with

including grant agreements. However, the objective of those procedures will not be to
provide an opinion on overall compliance and we will not express such an opinion in our
report on compliance issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards.
OMB Circular A-133 (if applicable) requires that we also plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the auditee has complied with applicable
laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements applicable to
major programs. Our procedures will consist of tests of transactions and other
applicab e procedures described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement
and related addenda for the types of compliance requirements that could have a direct
and matenal effect on each of the Village's major programs. The purpose of these
procedures will be to express an opinion on the Village's compliance with requirements

The fee is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel, audit condition
of the books and records and the assumption that unexpected circumstances will

not be encountered during the audit If significant additional time is necessary, we
will discuss it with you and arrive at a new fee estimate before we incur the additional
costs.
As you may know, it is typical for us to assign staff and schedule their time for a client
engagement well in advance of the actual performance of the services. This advanced
scheduling allows us to ensure that staff is available to accommodate the technical
requirements of the engagement; any preferences you may have as to the professionals
assigned and that all your deadlines can be met. From time to time we may be required
to cancel and/or reschedule the on-site services due to your inability to provide the
documentation and schedules required prior to our beginning our work or a change in
the availability of your staff or simply at your request. Without proper notification of such
required rescheduling, it is typical for us to incur additional fees not originally planned
with the scope of our engagement and within the related fees quoted in this letter.
You may request that we perform additional services not addressed in this engagement
letter. If this occurs, we will communicate with you regarding the scope of the additional
services and the estimated fees. We also may issue a separate engagement letter
covering the additional services. In the absence of any other written communication
from us documenting such additional services, our services will continue to be governed
by the terms of this engagement letter.
We appreciate the opportunity to continue to be of sen/ice to the Village and believe this
letter accurately summarizes the significant terms of our engagement. If you have any
