Paul Stille, CPA with Leo Riley & Co. presented the Auditor’s Financial Report for the year ended June 30, 2018. Mr. Stille commented they had excellent cooperation from the staff and thanked them for their assistance. He said that the three page letter required communication to provide to any governing board that we audit required by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) which briefly goes through the audit. Mr. Stille noted that a Federal audit had to be performed again this year as the threshold for distinguishing Types A and B programs was 750,000. The program tested as a major program was U.S. Department of Agriculture-Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities (CFDA 10.760). He stated due to the adoption of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68 Accounting and Reporting for Pensions, the City’s financial statement must include the proportionate share of the net liability of the pension plan the City participates in, which is the Wyoming Retirement System (WRS). Currently the WRS is underfunded, so the City must reflect their proportionate share of the net pension liability. He stated that pursuant to Enrolled Act No. 65, the contributions to the Public Employee Plan will increase for both the employee and employer 0.25% per year for the next four years starting in September 2018. At June 30, 2017, the City’s liability was a total of 4,625,918. The City’s liability amounts will fluctuate year to year based on the rate of return on WRS pension plan investments and the total pension liability. Councilman Kinney moved and Councilwoman Hill seconded to accept the financial report as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
