Board of Directors
Wheat Ridge Housing Authority
7500 West 29th Avenue
Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80033
We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide to the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority.
We will audit the basic financial statements of the Authority, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009. Also, the
management's discussion and analysis, if prepared, will be subjected to certain limited procedures, but will not be
audited.
Audit Objective
The objective of our audit is the expression of an opinion as to whether your financial statements are fairly presented,
in all material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
to report on the fairness ofthe additional information referred to in the first paragraph when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. Our audit will be conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Our audit will include tests of the accounting records and other procedures
we consider necessary to enable us to express such an opinion. If our opinion on the financial statements is other than
unqualified, we willfully discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete the audit
or are unable to form or have not formed an opinion, we may decline to express an opinion or to issue a report as a result
of this engagement.
Management Responsibilities
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls. In fulfilling this responsibility,
estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of the controls.
The objectives of internal control are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are
safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with
management's authorizations and recorded properly to permitthe preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. You are also responsible for all management decisions and functions, for
designating an individual with suitable skill, knowledge, or experience to oversee our financial statement preparation
services and accepting responsibility for the financial statements.
Management is responsible for making all financial records and related information available to us. We understand that
you will provide us with such information required for our audit and that you are responsible for the accuracy and
completeness of that information. You are also responsible for adjusting the financial statements to correct material
misstatements and for affirming to us in the representation letter that the effects of any uncorrected misstatements
aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented are immaterial, both
individually and in the aggregate, to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls, including monitoring ongoing
activities; for the selection and application of accounting principles; and for the fair presentation of the financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Management is responsible for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud, and
for informing us about all known or suspected fraud involving management, employees who have significant roles in
internal control, and others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. You are also
responsible for informing us of your knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud received in
communications from employees, former employees, regulators, or others. In addition, management is responsible for
identifying and ensuring that the Authority complies with applicable laws and regulations and for taking timely and
appropriate steps to remedy any fraud, illegal acts, or violations of contracts or grant agreements that we may report.
With regard to using the auditors' opinion, you understand that you must obtain our prior written consent to reproduce
or use our report in bond offering official statements or other documents.
Audit Procedures-General
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Therefore, our audit will involvejudgment 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 caused by error or fraud.
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 may exist and not be detected by us.
In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of laws or regulations that do not
have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, we will inform you of any material errors and
any fraud that comes to our attention. We will also inform you of any other violations of laws or regulations that come
to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our
audit and does not extend to matters that might arise during any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors.
Our procedures will include tests ofdocumentary 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, 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 also require certain written representations from you about the financial statements
and related matters.
Audit Procedures-Internal Control
In planning and performing our audit, we will consider the internal control sufficient to plan the audit in order to
determine the nature, timing, and extent of our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
Authority's financial statements.
An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify deficiencies. However, we will inform
the governing board of any matters involving internal control and its operation that we consider to be significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there
is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Audit Procedures-Compliance
Identifying and ensuring that the Authority complies with laws, regulations, contracts, and agreements is the
responsibility of management. As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whetherthe financial statements are free
of material misstatement, we will perform tests of the Authority's compliance with applicable laws and regulations and
the provisions of contracts and agreements. However, the objective of our audit will not be to provide an opinion on
overall compliance and we will not express such an opinion.
Audit Administration, Fees, and Other
Our fees for these services will be at our standard hourly rates plus out-of-pocket costs (such as report reproduction,
typing, postage, copies, telephone, etc.) except that we agree that our maximum fee, including expenses, will not exceed
$5,000. If the Authority is required to perform a Single Audit, additional fees will not exceed $2,000. Our standard
hourly rates vary according to the degree of responsibility involved and the experience level of the personnel assigned
to your audit. Our invoices for these fees will be rendered each month as work progresses and are payable on
presentation. The above fee is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumptionthat 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.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority and believe this letter accurately
summarizes the significant terms of our engagement. If you have any questions, please let us know. If you agree with
the terms of our engagement as described in this letter, please sign the enclosed copy and return it to us.
Very truly yours,
Swanhorst & Company LLC
