the Palm Beach County Commission will meet March 16th and 17th in the Palm
Beach County Courthouse to discuss the construction of the proposed Linton
Blvd (12th Street) bridge located between Highland Beach and Delray Beach.
Mayor Koch said that this would be an enormous help in alleviating traffic
problems on the present Atlantic Avenue and 8th Street bridges and since
this affects residents of Gulf Stream, representation from this community
supporting this project would be helpful. Mayor Koch said he would attend
the March 16th meeting with Mrs. LaPorte in attendance the following day.

C Clark, 825 Canary Walk, Place Au Soleil to begin construction of a swimming

Mayor Koch informed the Commission that he and Town Manager Gwynn attended
the Monday night March 15th Delray Beach Council Meeting in regard to
acquisition of water from Delray Beach. After discussion of the proposed
agreement between the two communities the contract was accepted by motion
by the Delray Beach City Council. However After Mayor Koch and Town Manager
Gwynn left the meeting the subject of the aforementioned contract was again
discussed and rejected and a new contract was to be drawn up and mailed to
Gulf Stream for review. As of this date Mayor Koch had not received the new
contract, therefore making it impossible for him to comment further on this
subject.

motion this request be granted, Mrs. LaPorte seconded the motion, motion

TCLEPHONE 278-422D
29 S. E. AND AVC. WILLIAM E. GWYNN
ACCOUNTANT
DELRAY BEACH. FLORIDA
February 20th, 1976
Town Commission
Town of Gulf Stream, Florida
In reply to the management letter from May, Zima and Company. I
would like to point out the following comments and actions to be
taken by the Town:
1. Regarding identification of fixed assets - A physical
inventory and taging of all fixed assets is to be done
shortly. All acquisations of future fixed assets will
be taged, inventoried, and made physically traceable
thru the books of the Town.
2. Regarding the adoption of written accounting and book-
keeping procedures - Internal procedures as outlined
in the Charter are followed and specific procedures for
handling the day to day routine for processing the Town's
finances have been outlined to the proper employees (Deputy
Town Clerk). In addition, the Town retains an outside
accounting firm to do the monthly write up of cash receipts
and cash disbursements, journals and general ledger posting
etc. This firm is charged with the duty to follow account=
ing procedures acceptable for a municipality this size.
3. Regarding establisment of budgeting procedures to satisfy
legal requirement and insure proper recording and account-
ability. It is planned that the budget for the fiscal year
1976 -77 and thereafter will be designed to be identical to
the chart of accounts of the general ledger of the Town
for all funds. This should solve this problem completely.
4. Regarding daily deposits of cash receipts - It is not
pratical in a one man office for this to be done. It would
result in the Town Hall being closed at least thirty (30)
to Forty -five (45)•minutes each day to get to the bank
and back. However the Deputy Town Clerk has instructions
.f
Page 2
Town Commission
Town of Gulf Stream, Florida
to rubber stamp endorsements on all checks as soon as
they are received and locked in a safe. Cash accounts
for about 1% of total receipts is to be locked immedia-
tely and deposited in the bank as soon as practical.
if you feel any additional information is necessary please let me know.
Yours truly,
William E. Gwynn

MANAGEMENT LETTER
1. THE RULES OF THE FLORIDA AUDITOR GENERAL CHAPTER 10.300 SET FORTH THE DUTIES
OF A MUNICIPALITY FOR ACCOUNTING FOR THE ASSETS OF THE AGENCY FROM ACQUISITION
TO FINAL DISPOSITION. THE FIXED ASSETS OF THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT, MORE
COMMONLY 'REFERRED TO AS THE GENERAL FIXED ASSETS GROUP OF ACCOUNTS, AND THE
FIXED ASSETS OF THE WATER DISTRIBUTION FUND HAVE BEEN PROPERLY RECORDED ON
THE RECORDS OF THE TOWN; HOWEVER, THESE ASSETS CANNOT RE SPECIFICALLY IDENTI-
FIED, NOR CAN THEY BE TRACED FROM A PHYSICAL OBSERVATION TO A FIXED ASSET
LEDGER.
2. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES, IT IS THE DUTY OF
THE MUNICIPALITY TO ADOPT WRITTEN ACCOUNTING AND BOOKKEEPING PROCEDURES. AS
THIS 15 A LEGAL REQUIREMENT OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA, IT IS OUR RECOMMENDATION
THAT THE NECESSARY ACTION BE TAKEN TO INSURE THAT THE WRITTEN ACCOUNTING AND
BOOKKEEPING PROCEDURE REQUIREMENTS ARE FULFILLED. IN OUR OPINION, THE FUL-
FILLMENT OF THIS REQUIREMENT WOULD SERVE TO REDUCE THE COST OF EXTERNAL
AUDITING AND PROVIDE THE ACCOUNTING STAFF WITH CON51STENT BOOKKEEPING GUIDE-
LINES WHICH WOULD IMPROVE THE INTERNAL CONTROL OF THE ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS.
3. IT HAS BEEN NECESSARY TO PERFORM CERTAIN ACCOUNTING SERVICES ON THE GENERAL
FUND, WATER DISTRIBUTION FUND AND FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING FUND IN ORDER TO
DETERMINE APPLICABLE EXPENDITURES IN RELATION TO LINE ITEM BUDGETS. OUR
EXAMINATION OF THE THREE PRECEDING FUNDS REVEALED THAT THE RECORDING OF
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS WAS NOT HANDLED.'IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONCEPT OF FUND
ACCOUNTING. IT IS OUR RECOMMENDATION THAT APPROPRIATE BUDGETARY PROCEDURES
BE ESTABLISHED TO SATISFY LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND INSURE PROPER RECORDING
AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
4. IT WAS NOTED DURING OUR EXAMINATION THAT CASH RECEIPTS WERE NOT BEING DE-
POSITED DAILY. THE DAILY DEPOSITS OF CASH RECEIPTS KEEPS THE AMOUNT OF CASH
ON HAND AT A MINIMUM AND REDUCES THE RISK OF LOSS FROM A BURGLARY. TIMELY
DEPOSITS ARE ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT DURING YOUR WATER BILLING PERIODS.
WE WISH TO THANK THE TOWN MANAGER AND HIS STAFF FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE AND CO-
OPERATION DURING OUR EXAMINATION.
