MOVED by Norris, seconded by McDonald, and motion carried unanimously to authorize
staff to contract with MMKR Certified Public Accountants for an amount not to exceed
$8,425 for 2011 Audit Services for the Joint Water Commission.
Minneapolis/Golden Valley Water Meter Improvements
The proposal for the Minneapolis/Golden Valley water meter improvements was received
from Bonestroo/Stantec to design and reconstruct the metering facility in the amount not to
exceed $49,698. The TAC has review the proposal and in agreement with the scope of
work.
MOVED by Norris, seconded by McDonald, and motion carried unanimously to authorize
the proposal from Bonestroo/Stantec to design and reconstruct the metering facility in the
amount not to exceed $49,698.
The City of Minneapolis has verbally committed to pay 50% of the design cost of the
metering facility and is revising the Water Agreement to turn ownership of the facility back to
the JWC and ownership of the meter to the City of Minneapolis. Clancy received the
amended Water Agreement between the City of Minneapolis and the JWC just prior to the
meeting. Clancy proposes that the JWC direct her to finalize the agreement with
Minneapolis or she can present the final agreement to the JWC at the next meeting.
MOVED by Norris, seconded by McDonald, and motion carried unanimously to direct

not exist between the JWC and Barr for ongoing work performed by Barr for the JWC. Barr
submitted a Professional Services Agreement for the JWC to consider. The agreement has
been reviewed by the attorney.
MOVED by Norris, seconded by McDonald, and motion carried unanimously to accept the
Master Contract with Barr Engineering Company.

West Metro Fire Rescue District Request
The West Metro Fire Rescue District requested the use of the Golden Valley water tower for
training in preparation for the American Lung Association's Stair Climb Challenge. Clancy
discussed the request with Mark Kuhnly, Golden Valley Chief of Fire/Inspections, who
advised against the request. The consensus of the JWC was to not grant the request to the
use the water tower for training purposes due to safety concerns.
Approval of Materials Purchased for 16" and 24" Gate Vale Replacements City of
Crystal
Kloepper presented a memo requesting approval for the purchase of valve and adapter
replacements from HD Supply in the amount of $37,415.54. Additional quotes were not
obtained because HD Supply is the only distributor in the state that carries the brand of
butterfly valves and operators used in the gate valve replacements. Crystal requests
authorization to purchase from them to continue continuity with other replacements.
MOVED by Norris, seconded by McDonald, and motion carried unanimously authorizing
Crystal to purchase the materials from HD Supply in the amount of $37,415.54.

Approval of Agreement with Stantec
Clancy presented a revised Professional Services Agreement with Stantec for the following
two projects:
1. JWC Transmission Line, CSAH 9, Xerxes Avenue North to CR 81
2. Minneapolis/Golden Valley Water Meter Improvements
At its December 7, 2011 meeting, the JWC approved $57,200 for pre -design field work and
the engineering portion for the CSAH 9 project with Stantec. After negotiation and scope
refinement, the amount was revised to $94,380.
Mathisen reported that Hennepin County has agreed to pay 27.5% of the CSAH 9 project
cost (construction and engineering). A cooperative agreement between the County and the
JWC will be forthcoming.
The total project cost includes some allowance for soil correction; however, the County has
conducted some additional soil investigation and found more areas of peat that may need
piling installed to stabilize the soil which may also increase the project cost.
Clancy reported that the cost estimate for the Minneapolis/Golden Valley water meter
improvements will be about $200,000 to $300,000 and Minneapolis has agreed to pay 50%
of those costs.
MOVED by McDonald, seconded by Norris and motion carried unanimously to approve the
agreement with Stantec for (1) the JWC Transmission Line, CSAH 9, Xerxes Avenue North
to CR 81; and (2) the Minneapolis/Golden Valley Water Meter Improvements.

Tri -City Council Meetinq
A tentative date for the Tri -City Council meeting was set for 6 pm on Monday, May 7,
pending confirmation by the three city councils. The agenda will be the Water Interaction
Study and emergency water planning efforts, and flooding in the area of Medicine Lake

NOTE I -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
K. Fund Balance Classifications
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance in classifications that disclose
constraints for which amounts in those funds can be spent. These classifications are as follows:
• Nonspendable — Consists of amounts that are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items,
inventory, and other long-term assets.
• Restricted — Consists of amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by
creditors, grantors, or contributors; or constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
• Committed — Consists of internally imposed constraints that are established by resolution of the
Commission Board. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the
Commission Board removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action it
employed to previously commit those amounts.
• Assigned — Consists of internally imposed constraints. These constraints consist of amounts
intended to be used by the Commission for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be
classified as restricted or committed. In governmental funds, assigned amounts represent
intended uses established by the governing body itself or by an official to which the governing
body delegates the authority.
• Unassigned — The residual classification for the General Fund which also reflects negative
residual amounts in other funds.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Commission's policy to first
use restricted resources, then use unrestricted resources as they are needed.
When committed, assigned, or unassigned resources are available for use, it is the Commission's policy to
use resources in the following order: 1) committed, 2) assigned, and 3) unassigned.
L. Change in Accounting Principle
For the year ended January 31, 2012, the Commission has implemented GASB Statement No. 54, "Fund
Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions." The objective of this statement is to
enhance the usefulness of fund balance information by providing clearer fund balance classifications that
can be more consistently applied and by clarifying the existing governmental fund type definitions. This
statement establishes fund balance classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent
to which a government is bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of the resources reported in
governmental funds. More information on these fund balance classifications is included elsewhere in
these notes. The Commission is implementing this standard retroactively, meaning prior year fund
balance classifications have been restated.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S 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
Board of Commissioners
Golden Valley — Crystal — New Hope Joint Water Connnission
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major
fund of the Golden Valley — Crystal — New Hope Joint Water Commission (the Commission) as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2411, which collectively comprise the Commission's basic financial
statements, and have issued our report thereon dated INSERT DATE. We conducted our audit in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of the Commission is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Commission'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 Commission's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Commission'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 combination
of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the Commission's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely
basis.
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.
(continued)

Golden Valley — Crystal — New Hope Joint Water Commission Page 2
INSERT DATE
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant
accounting policies used by the Commission are described in Note 1 of the notes to basic financial
statements. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Commission has implemented Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54, "Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental
Fund Type Definitions." This statement established new fund balance classifications that comprise a
hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which a government is bound to observe constraints imposed
upon the use of the resources reported in governmental funds. It also clarifies existing governmental fund
type definitions to improve the comparability of governmental fund financial statements.
We noted no transactions entered into by the Commission during the year for which there is a lack of
authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial
statements in the proper period.
CORRECTED AND UNCORRECTED MISSTATEMENTS
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the
audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.
Where applicable, management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the
misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management, when applicable,
were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion unit's financial statements taken as
a whole.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND MANAGEMENT JUDGMENTS
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about
future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the
financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ
significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements of the
Commission were the estimated useful lives for the depreciation of capital assets.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these accounting estimates in determining
that they are reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial
statement users. The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED IN PERFORMING THE AUDIT
We encountered no difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT
For purposes of this report, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial
accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be
significant to the financial statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such
disagreements arose during the course of our audit.

Dear Mr. Adams:
As stated in my letter to you dated January 12, 2012, the water tower located in
the City of Golden Valley is owned by the Joint Water Commission (JWC) (Crystal,
New Hope, and Golden Valley). At its February 8, 2012 meeting, the JWC
discussed the West Metro Fire Rescue District's request to use the Golden Valley
water tower for training in anticipation of the American Lung Association's Stair
Climb Challenge. Due to safety and liability concerns, the JWC is unable to grant
permission for use of the Golden Valley tower for training.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 763.593.8035.
