Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Wheat Ridge
Wheat Ridge, Colorado
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Wheat Ridge for the year ended
December 31, 2001, and have Issued our report thereon dated May 24, 2002 Professional standards require
that we provide you wIth the following information related to our audit.
Our Responsibility under Generally Accepted Auditing Standards
As stated 10 our agreement, our responsiblhty, as described by professional standards, is to plan and perform
our audlt to obtam reasonable, but not absolute, assurance about whether the general purpose finanCial
statements are free of matenal mIsstatement. Because of the concept of reasonable assurance and because
we did not perform a detaIled exammation of all transactIOns, there is a nsk that material errors, megulantles,
or illegal acts, mcludmg fraud and defalcations, lllay eXIst and r,ot be detected by us
As part of our audIt, we considered the internal control ofthe City of Wheat Ridge Such consideratIOns were
for the purpose of determinmg our audIt procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal
control
Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibihty for selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. In accordance
with the terms of our engagement letter, we will advise management about the appropriateness of accounting
policies and theIr applicatIOn. The SIgnificant accountlllg policies used by the City of Wheat Ridge are
described in Note 1 to the general purpose financwl statements. During the year ended December 31, 2001,
the City changed its accounting policy regarding revenue recognition and capItal contributIOns, as required
by new accounting standards. In addition, the police pension plan was removed from the City's financial
report because the City has transferred fiduciary responsibility for the pension assets to an administrator ThIS
change is in accordance with current accounting standards. No other accounting policies were adopted and
the applicatIOn of existing policies was not changed during the year We noted no transactIOns entered into
by the City of Wheat Ridge during the year that were both significant and unusual, and of which, under
professional standards, we are required to inform you. or transactions for which there is a lack of authontative
guidance or consensus.

Accounting Estimates
Accountmg estimates are an integral part ofthe general purpose financial statements prepared by management
and are based on management's current judgments. Certam accountmg estimates are particularly sensitive
because of their significance to the general purpose financial statements and because of the possibility that
future events affecting them may differ significantly from management's current Judgments. We evaluated
the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates m determining that they are reasonable in
relation to the financIal statements taken as a whole.
Significant Audit Adjustments
For purposes of this letter, profeSSIOnal standards define a significant audit adjustment as a proposed
correction of the general purpose financial statements that, in our judgment, may not have been detected
except through our auditing procedures. We proposed no audit adjustments that we believe have a sigmficant
effect on the City's financial reporting process.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter,
whether or not resolved to our satisfactIOn, concermng a financial accounting, reporting, or audIting matter
that could be sigmficant to the general purpose finanCial statements or the auditors' report. We are pleased
to report that no such disagreements arose dunng the course of our audit.
Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may deCide to consult wIth other accountants about auditing and accountmg
matters, similar to obtaimng a "second opmion" on certam situations. If a consultation involves application
of an accounting principle to the City'S general purpose financial statements or a determination of the type
of audItors' opimon that may be expressed on those statements, our professIOnal standards require the
consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our
knowledge, there were no such consultations wIth other accountants.
Issues Discussed Prior to Acceptance of Independent Auditors
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing
standards, with management prior to acceptance as the City's auditors. However, these dIscussions occurred
in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our accepting
the engagement.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties while performing our audit. However, we would like to bring the
following items to the attention of management and the Council.
2
Fund Structure and Transfers Between Funds
We were pleased that the City closed several funds during the year. ThIs will make the accounting process
more efficient and the financial reports more concise. We would like to remmd the City that the integrity of
funds is lost when many transfers are made between funds. It wIll be important to address thIS Issue dunng
the next budget process. We would be happy to dISCUSS these issues in more detail at budget tIme.
Grant Reimbursements
We reported to you in the previous year that, for two consecutIve years, the City had not requested
reimbursement for the COPS grant for the entIre year, untIl after the end of the year The process for
requesting reimbursements was not changed during 2001, and the grant reimbursement for 2001 was not
received by the date of our audit fieldwork, May 24, 2002. In addition, a grant for work at the Semor Center
was not received because the paperwork was not completed timely We would agam like to stress the
importance of grant momtoring on a timely basis.
Accrued Employee Vacation Time
As we have discussed previously, the CIty continues to allow employees to accrue vacation time in excess
of the lImits established by CIty policy. We recommend that the polIcy be reviewed for adequacy Once
approved, the policy should be followed to prevent the City from violatmg any labor laws, and to encourage
employees to take vacation tIme periodically
Conclusion
We would like to thank Ron Patera, Lmda Stengel, and the City staff for theIr assistance and cooperation
during the audit. Everyone at the City was very helpful.
This information is intended solely for the use of management and the City Council of the City of Wheat
Ridge, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
Very truly yours,

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Wheat Ridge
Wheat Ridge, Colorado
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado, as of and for the
year ended December 31. 200 I, as listed in the table of contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility
of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose financial statements based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the
United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
general purpose financial statements are /Tee of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall general purpose
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the general purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado, as of December 31, 200 I. and the results of its operations and cash flows of its
proprietary fund types for the year then ended in confonnity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado, adopted the standards of Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement No 33 for the year ended December 31, 200 I
-

Our audit was conducted for the purpose offonning an opinion on the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole. The
combining, individual fund and account group financial statements and schedules and supplementary infonnation listed in the table
of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general purpose financial statements
of the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
general purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the general
purpose financial statements taken as a whole.
The statistical infonnation included in the comprehensive annual financial report was not audited by us, and accordingly, we do
not express an opinion on it.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 24,2002 on our consideration of
the City's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts and grants. That report is an integral part of an audit perfonned in accordance with Government Auditing Standards
and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
FUNDS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS
The accounts of the CIty are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of
which is consIdered a separate accounting entity. The operatlOns of each fund are
accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets,
liabIlitles, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures, or expenses, as appropnate.
Government resources are allocated to, and accounted for in individual funds, based upon
the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spendmg actIvities are
controlled. The vanous funds are grouped in the finanCial statements m thiS report, into
fund types and broad fund categories as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or "financial flow" measurement
focus. ThIS means that only current assets and current habilitles are generally included on
the balance sheet. Their reported fund balance (net current assets) is considered a measure
of "available spendable resources", Governmental fund operating statements present
increases (revenue and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other
financmg uses) in net current assets. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of
sources and uses of "aVailable spendable resources" during a penod.
General Fund -- The General Fund is the general operating fund of the CIty. It is used
to account for all finanCial resources except those required to be accounted for in another
fund.
Special Revenue Funds -- Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the collection
and disbursement of specific revenue sources.
Debt Service Funds -- Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of
resources for, and the payment of, long-term obligation principal, interest, and related
costs.
Capital Projects Funds -- Capital Projects Funds are used to account for the acquisition
or construction of property and facilities.

FUNDS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS (Contmued)
PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Enterprise Fund - The Enterprise Fund is used to account for operations that are financed
and operated in a manner similar to a private business where the intent of the governing
body IS that costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providmg goods or services to the
general public on a continumg basIs be financed or recovered primarily through user
charges.
Internal Service Fund -- The Internal Service Fund accounts for goods and services
proVided to other departments or funds of the City on a cost-reimbursement basis.
FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Trust and Agency Funds -- Trust and Agency Funds are used to account for assets held
by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private orgamzatlOns, other
governments, and/or other funds.
ACCOUNT GROUPS
General Fixed Asset Account Group -- Fixed assets used in governmental fund type
operations (general fixed assets) are accounted for in the General Fixed Asset Account
Group, rather than in the governmental funds, No depreciation has been provided on
general fixed assets.
General Long-Term Debt Account Group -- Long-term liabilities expected to be
financed from governmental funds are accounted for m the General Long-Term Debt
Account Group, not in the governmental funds.
The account groups are not "funds" They are concerned only with the measurement of
financial position. They are not involved with measurement of results of operations.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its
measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for using a current financial
resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and
9
NOTE 1:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING (Continued)
current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of
these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases
(i.e" expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets,
The proprietary funds are accounted for on a flow of economIC resources measurement
focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and all lIabilitIes assocIated with the
operation of these funds are included on the balance sheet. Fund equity for the proprietary
fund (i e., net total assets) is segregated Into contributed capital and retained earnings
components. Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (e.g., revenues)
and decreases (e.g., expenses) in net total assets.
The modified accrual baSIS of accounting is used by all governmental funds and the agency
funds. Under the modified accrual basIs of accounting, revenues are recogmzed when they
become measurable and available as net current assets. Available means collectible within
the current period or expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay
liabilitieS of the current period, not to exceed sixty days. Expenditures are generally
recognized when the related fund lIabilIty is Incurred.
The accountmg and reportmg treatment applIed to the fixed assets and long-term liabilities
associated with a fund are determined by its measurement focus.
Those revenues susceptible to accrual are sales taxes, property taxes, franchIse taxes,
interest, and grants. Fines and permIt revenues are not susceptible to accrual as they
generally are not measurable until received in cash.
The accrual basis of accounting is used by all proprietary fund types. Under this method,
revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized at the time liabilities
are incurred.
For its proprietary fund types, the City has elected not to apply Financial Accounting
Standards Board (F ASB) statements and interpretations issued after November 30, 1989.
Agency Funds are custodial in nature and do not involve measurement of the results of
operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING (Continued)
Deferred revenues anse when a potential revenue does not meet both the "measurable" and
"available" cnteria for recognitIOn in the current period. Deferred revenues also arise
when resources are received by the City before it has a legal claim to them, as when grant
momes are received pnor to the mcurrence of qualifymg expendItures. In subsequent
periods, when both revenue recognitIOn critena are met, or when the City has a legal claim
to the resources, the lIability for deferred revenue is removed from the balance sheet and
revenue is recognized.

The City follows these procedures m establIshmg the budgetary data reflected in the
financial statements:
o In September, the City AdmmistratlOn submIts to the City Council a proposed
operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the followmg January L The

o PublIc heanngs are conducted to obtam taxpayer comments.
o Prior to December 31, the budget IS legally enacted through passage of an ordmance.
o Any budget revisIOns that alter the total expenditures of any fund must be approved
by the City Council.
o Budgets are legally adopted for all funds of the City except the Agency Funds.

other funds" and "due to other funds" because they are short-term in nature
Noncurrent portiOns oflong-term interfund loan receivables are reported as advances and
are offset equally by a fund balance reserve account which indicates that they do not
constitute expendable available financial resources and therefore are not available for
appropriation.

as expenditures ofthe fund, and are then capitalized m the general fixed assets account
group All purchased property and equipment are valued at cost, while donated assets are
valued at their estimated fair market value as of the date received as a donation. The City
capitalizes all assets valued at $5,000 or greater with a life in excess of one year.
-

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Tabor Amendment -- Colorado voters passed an amendment to the State Constitution,
Article X, Section 20, which has several limitations, includmg revenue ralsmg, spending
abilities, and other specific requirements of state and local governments. The Amendment
requires, with certain exceptions, advance voter approval for any new tax, tax rate Increase,
mill levy above that for the prior year, extension of an expiring tax, or tax policy change
directly causing a net tax revenue gain to the City.
Revenue m excess of the fiscal year spendmg limit must be refunded in the next fiscal year
unless voters approve retentIOn of such revenue The City's management believes it is in
compliance with the provisions of the Amendment. However, the Amendment is complex
and subject to interpretation. Many of its provisions may require judicial interpretation.
The City has established an emergency reserve, representmg 3% of qualifyIng expenditures,
as reqUired by the Amendment. At December 31,200 I, the emergency reserve of$625,000
was recorded in the General Fund.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE
AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Wheat Ridge, as of and for the year ended
December 31,2001, and have issued our report thereon dated May 24,2002 We conducted our audit in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial
audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the Untted States.
Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the CIty of Wheat Ridge's general purpose financial
statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compltance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts and grants, noncompltance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determinatIOn of general purpose financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with
those provisIOns was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results
of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing
Standards.
-
Internal Control Over Financial Reportmg
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of Wheat Ridge's internal control over financial
reporting m order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the general
purpose financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reportmg. Our
consideration of the internal control over financial reportmg would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal
control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the
design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the
risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to the general purpose financial statements being
audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that
we consider to be material weaknesses.
This report is intended for the information of the City Council, management and federal awarding agencies and pass-
through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

We have audited the compliance of the City of Wheat Ridge with the types of compliance requirements described
in the U S. Office of Management and Budget (OMBJ Circular A-I33 Compliance Supplement that are applicable
to each of its major federal programs for the year ended December 31, 200 I The City of Wheat Ridge's major
federal programs are identified m the summary of audItors' results sectIon of the accompanying schedule offindmgs
and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements ofIaws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each
of its major federal programs is the responsibility of CIty of Wheat Rtdge's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the City of Wheat Ridge's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Ul1lted States
of America, the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States; and OMS Circular A-133,Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-
Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMS Circular A-133 reqUtre that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that
could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence about the City of Wheat Ridge's compliance with those requirements and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion. Our audit does not proVIde a legal determination on the City of Wheat Ridge's compliance with
those requirements.
In our opinion, the City of Wheat Ridge complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above
that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended December 31, 200 I
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of the City of Wheat Ridge is responsible for establishing and mall1taining effective internal control
over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal programs. In
planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of Wheat Ridge's internal control over compliance with
requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to determine our
auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control
over compliance in accordance with OMS Circular A-133

Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose financial

a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements of the
City of Wheat Ridge, taken as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented
