CPAs & ADVISORS
We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide the City of Sanford (the
City) for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2018 — 2020, with an option to renew for two (2) additional
one (1) fiscal year periods. We will audit 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, including the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the basic financial statements, of the City as of and for the years ended September 30, 2018
through September 30, 2020. Accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America
provide for certain required supplementary information (RSI), such as management's discussion and
analysis (MD&A), to supplement the City's 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 City'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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S.
GAAP) and will be subjected to certain limited procedures, but will not be audited:
1) Management's Discussion and Analysis
2) Budgetary Comparison Schedules
3) Pension RSI Schedules
4) OPEB RSI Schedules
We have also been engaged to report on supplementary information other than RSI that accompanies the
City's financial statements. We will subject the following supplementary information to the auditing proce-
dures 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 accord-
ance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, and we will provide an
opinion on it in relation to the financial statements as a whole, in a separate written report accompanying
our auditor's report on the financial statements or in a report combined with our auditor's report on the
financial statements:
1) Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Schedules
2) Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and State Financial Assistance (if applicable)

The following other information accompanying the financial statements will not be subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements, and our auditor's report will not provide an
opinion or any assurance on that other information:
1) Introductory Section
2) Statistical Section
Audit Objectives
The objective of our audit is the expression of opinions as to whether your financial statements are fairly
presented, in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. GAAP and to report on the fairness of the
supplementary information referred to in the second paragraph when considered in relation to the financial
statements as a whole. The objective also includes reporting on—
Internal control over financial reporting and compliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts,
and award agreements, noncompliance with which could have a material effect on the financial
statements in accordance with Government Auditing Standards.
Internal control over compliance related to major federal programs and major state projects and an
opinion (or disclaimer of opinion) on compliance with federal and state statutes, regulations, and the
terms and conditions of federal awards and state financial assistance that could have a direct and
material effect on each major federal program and major state project in accordance with the Single
Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and Title 2 U.S. Code offederal Regulations (CFR), Part 200, Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform
Guidance) and the Florida Single Audit Act (if applicable),
The Government Auditing Standards report on internal control over financial reporting and on compliance
and other matters will include a paragraph that states that (1) the purpose of the report is solely to describe
the scope of testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an
opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on compliance, and (2) the report is an integral
part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's
internal control and compliance. The Uniform Guidance report on internal control over compliance will
include a paragraph that states that the purpose of the report on internal control over compliance is solely
to describe the scope of testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on
the requirements of the Uniform Guidance (if applicable). Both reports will state that the report is not
suitable for any other purpose. If during our audit we become aware that the City is subject to an audit
requirement that is not encompassed in the terms of this engagement, we will communicate to management
and those charged with governance that an audit conducted in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
auditing standards (U.S. GAAS) and the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards may not satisfy the relevant legal, regulatory, or contractual requirements.
Our audit will be conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America; the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States; the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 (if applicable); the
provisions of the Uniform Guidance (if applicable); the Florida Single Audit Act (if applicable); and the
Rules of the Auditor General; and will include tests of accounting records, a determination of major
programs in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, and other procedures we consider necessary to enable
us to express such opinions. We will issue written reports upon completion of our Single Audit(s) (if
applicable). Our reports will be addressed to the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission.
We cannot provide assurance that unmodified opinions will be expressed. Circumstances may arise in
which it is necessary for us to modify our opinions or add emphasis -of -matter or other -matter paragraphs.
If our opinions are other than unmodified, we will 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 opinions, we may
decline to express opinions or issue reports, or we may withdraw from this engagement.
City of Sanford

We will also issue a written Management Letter, as required by Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor
General for Local Governmental Entity Audits, upon completion of the audit.
Examination Objective
The objective of our examination is the expression of an opinion about whether the City's investments were
authorized by law and, if applicable, in accordance with your investment policy based on the requirements
of Section 218.415, Florida Statutes. Our examination will be conducted in accordance with attestation
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and will include tests of
your records and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such an opinion.
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 involve judgment about the number of transactions to be
examined and the areas to be tested. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We will plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable 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 government or to acts by management or employees
acting on behalf of the government. Because the determination of abuse is subjective, Government Auditing
Standards do not expect auditors to provide reasonable assurance of detecting abuse.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, combined with the inherent limitations of internal control,
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, even though the audit is properly
planned and performed in accordance with U.S. GAAS and Government Auditing Standards. In addition,
an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of laws or governmental regula-
tions that do not have a direct and material effect on the financial statements or on major programs (if
applicable). However, we will inform the appropriate level of management of any material errors, any
fraudulent financial reporting, or misappropriation of assets that come to our attention. We will also inform
the appropriate level of management of any violations of laws or governmental regulations that come to
our attention, unless clearly inconsequential, and of any material abuse that comes to our attention. We
will include such matters in the reports required for a Single Audit (if applicable). 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 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 receiva-
bles 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 your responsibilities for the financial statements;
schedule of expenditures of federal awards; federal award programs; compliance with laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements; and other responsibilities required by U.S. GAAS.

Audit Procedures—Internal Control
Our audit will include obtaining an understanding of the government 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 material to the financial statements and to preventing and detecting misstatements resulting from illegal
acts and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material 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 the Uniform Guidance and the Florida Single Audit Act (if applicable), we will perform
tests of controls over compliance to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of controls that
we consider relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with compliance requirements
applicable to each major federal program and state project. 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 the Uniform Guidance and Florida Single Audit Act.
An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify significant deficiencies or
material weaknesses. Accordingly, we will express no such opinion. However, during the audit, we will
communicate to management and those charged with governance internal control related matters that are
required to be communicated under AICPA professional standards, Government Auditing Standards, the
Uniform Guidance and the Florida Single Audit Act (if applicable).
Audit Procedures—Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, we will perform tests of the City's compliance with provisions of applicable laws, regulations,
contracts, and agreements, 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.
We are also responsible for communicating certain matters in accordance with the provisions of Chapter
10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, which govern the conduct of local governmental entity audits
performed in the state of Florida. These matters will be communicated in the management letter.
The Uniform Guidance and the Florida Single Audit Act (if applicable) require that we also plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the auditee has complied with federal and
state statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards and state financial assistance
applicable to major federal programs and state projects. Our procedures will consist of tests of transactions
and other applicable procedures described in the OMB Compliance Supplement and Florida Department of
Financial Services State Compliance Supplement for the types of compliance requirements that could have
a direct and material effect on each of the City's major federal programs and state projects. The purpose
of these procedures will be to express an opinion on the City's compliance with requirements applicable to
each of its major federal programs and state projects in our report on compliance issued pursuant to the
Uniform Guidance and the Florida Single Audit.
Management Responsibilities
Management is responsible for (1) designing, implementing, establishing, and maintaining effective
internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, including internal controls over federal awards and
state financial assistance, and for evaluating and monitoring ongoing activities to help ensure that appro-
priate goals and objectives are met; (2) following laws and regulations; (3) ensuring that there is reasonable
assurance that government programs are administered in compliance with compliance requirements; and
(4) ensuring that management and financial information is reliable and properly reported. Management is
City of Sanford

tions, contracts, and grant agreements. You are also responsible for the selection and application of
accounting principles; for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, schedule of
expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance, and all accompanying information in
conformity with U.S. GAAP; and for compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including federal
and state statutes) and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements (including award agreements).
Your responsibilities also include identifying significant contractor relationships in which the contractor
has responsibility for program compliance and for the accuracy and completeness of that information.
Management is also responsible for making all financial records and related information available to us and
for the accuracy and completeness of that information. You are also responsible for providing us with
(1) access to all information of which you are aware that is relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements, (2) access to personnel, accounts, books, records, supporting documentation,
and other information as needed to perform an audit under the Uniform Guidance and the Florida Single
Audit Act (if applicable), (3) additional information that we may request for the purpose of the audit, and
(4) unrestricted access to persons within the government from whom we determine it necessary to obtain
audit evidence.
Your responsibilities include adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements and
confirming to us in the management 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 financial statements as a whole.
You are responsible for the City's compliance with investment provisions in accordance with Section
218.415, Florida Statutes.
You are 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 affecting the government involving (1) manage-
ment, (2) employees who have significant roles in internal control, and (3) others where the fraud could
have a material effect on the financial statements. Your responsibilities include informing us of your knowl-
edge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the government received in communications
from employees, former employees, grantors, regulators, or others. In addition, you are responsible for
identifying and ensuring that the government complies with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, agree-
ments, and grants. Management is also responsible for taking timely and appropriate steps to remedy fraud
and noncompliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, or abuse that we
report. Additionally, as required by the Uniform Guidance and the Florida Single Audit Act, it is manage-
ment's responsibility to evaluate and monitor noncompliance with federal and state statutes, regulations,

youth from their respective schools. In the many years of our SRO program, officers have been
successful in developing youth related summertime projects. The Sanford Police Department is
dedicated to a community policing philosophy. The SRO program has been integrated into this
process, providing an additional tool for the overall mission of the Sanford Police Department and
the Seminole County School Board.
