470-15 1  CommunicationCommunication from the Mayor relative to the 2014 Management Letter from auditors Roselli, Clark & Associates and the city’s response. Dear Members of the City Council: I am submitting for your review an updated 2014 Fiscal Year Management Letter from Roselli, Clark & Associates which now includes the City’s responses designated in blue. The report shows that despite our ongoing economic challenges we are meeting them head on in an effort to keep Malden moving forward. The report also notes that the level of comments and observations have decreased significantly over the past 4 years which is another indicator that we are implementing measures to maximize our financial position. Each finding and recommendation has been reviewed and discussed with the appropriate Department Head and the necessary action plans have been put in place. We will continue to diligently initiate and monitor all corrective measures so that we maintain our consistent progress and improvements. The information will be made available on the City website and I welcome the opportunity to discuss the reporreceived and filedPass Action details Not available
