To the Honorable Mayor and Members <br />of the City Council of the City of Redwood City <br />Redwood City, California <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />3 <br />Required Supplementary Information <br /> <br />Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion <br />and Analysis, Budgetary Comparison Schedules, Schedules of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, <br />Schedules of Contributions – Pension, and Schedule of Changes in Net OPEB Liability and Related Ratios, and <br />Schedule of Contributions – OPEB, as listed in the accompanying table of contents, be presented to supplement the <br />basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the <br />Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing <br />the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain <br />limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally <br />accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing <br />the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the <br />basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do <br />not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us <br />with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. <br /> <br />Supplementary Information <br /> <br />Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise <br />the City’s basic financial statements. The Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Budgetary <br />Comparison Schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic <br />financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly <br />to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has <br />been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional <br />procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other <br />records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other <br />additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In <br />our opinion, the Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Budgetary Comparison Schedules are <br />fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. <br /> <br />Other Information <br /> <br />Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises <br />the Introductory and Statistical Sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report <br />thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an <br />opinion or any form of assurance thereon. <br /> <br />In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and <br />consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or <br />the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that <br />an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. <br />7.C. - Page 35 of 269 <br />54
