By Minute Motion, that the City Council receive and file the single audit report of
Federally Assisted Grant Programs for fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
Committee Recommendation
The Audit, Investment and Finance Committee received the single audit report at their February

received and filed by the City Council.
Background
The Single Audit Act and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133, Audits of
States, Local Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations, requires non-federal entities that
expend equal to or in excess of $500,000 in a fiscal year in federal awards to have an audit
performed in accordance with the Single Audit Act.
The City was required to undergo an audit of federal funds it received because the City expended
more than $500,000 in the year ended June 30, 2010. On Page 6 of the Single Audit of Federally
Assisted Grant Programs, a detail of federal expenditures is given. The City's Community
Development Block Grant represents the majority of expenditures totaling $296,716. In total, the
City expended $524,029 for the year ended June 30, 2010.
Diehl, Evans & Company, LLP, was hired to perform and complete an audit on the Schedule of
Federal Financial Assistance for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. As stated in their opinion
found on Page 3 of the report, "the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance
requirements ... of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2010."
Staff requests that the Council receive and file the single audit report for fiscal year ended June
30, 2010.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
The Honorable City Council
City of Palm Desert
Palm Desert, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities,
the discretely presented component unit, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City of Palm Desert, California as of and for the year ended June 30, 2010, and have
issued our report thereon dated November 29, 2010. 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.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting
as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the
financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the City's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a
timely basis.

IInternal Control Over Financial Reuorting_(Continued)
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in
(� the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control
over financial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses. We
did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be
material weaknesses, as defined above.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Palm Desert, California's financial
statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have
a direct and material effect on the determination of 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 or
other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council, management of the City
of Palm Desert, California and others within the City, and is not intended to be and should not be used
by anyone other than these specified parties.

We have audited the City of Palm Desert's (the City) compliance with the types of compliance requirements
described in the U. S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that
could have a direct and material effect on each of the City's major federal programs for the year ended
June 30, 2010. The City's major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors' results section of
the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws,
regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs are the responsibility of the
City's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the City's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local
Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require 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 each of its major
federal programs occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City'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 of the City's compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above
that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended
June 30, 2010.

-3 Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over
compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to federal programs. In
planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over compliance with the
requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs in order to
determine the auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and
report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express
[� an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over
compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal
program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that
material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or
detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance
that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses. We did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, the
discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City
of Palm Desert as of and for the year ended June 30, 2010, and have issued our report thereon dated
November 29, 2010, which contained unqualified opinions on those statements. Our audit was performed for
the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements as a whole. The schedule of expenditures of federal
awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget
Circular A-133, Audits of States. Local Governments and Non -Profit Organizations, and is not a required part
of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from
and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements
and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements of the City or to the
financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
