I I.V.Q. In MAYOR'S nr FI :F a� JAN 251963 PM � I ei �I lolul�l 1 I �I �i 41 X16 I The state law applicable to this Port Authority specifies that a written report is to be made annually in January of each year giving a detailed account of its activities and of its receipts and expenditures during the preceeding calendar year. Such,a report has of necessity awaited the completion of the auditing of the accounts of the Port Authority and in the 30 years of its existence, it has never been possible for the Port Authority to make its anfival report within the statutory time limit. It therefore appears logical that the State Legislature ALBERT J BRAND be requested to consider an amendment to the statutes BERNARD T. HOLLAND whereby the period within which the referred to annual ROBERT F PETERSON report is to be made is to be extended to April lst from January 31st. LECISL,ITIYE ADVISORS There is sent you herewith a copy of Resolution No. 203 H. W. SCHULTZ STATE SENATOR adopted by the Port Authority Commission January 22, 1963 D D. WOZNIAK together with a copy of a suggested Bill for an Act that STATE REPRESENTATIVE would accomplish the results. It is requested that your honorable body give your approval to the proposed amendment so that it may be properly sub- mitted to the Ramsey County Legislative Delegation and to the Legislature for consideration. Mr. John Connolly, Director of Research, has received 50 copies of the proposed Bill for an Act for the necessary description of it. PWF:js Very,-truly yours, i i Resolution No. PORT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF ST. PAUL TKERE„5s Minnesota Statutes, 1961, Section 458.16 (7) calls for a written report to be submitted annually in January by the Pont Authority to the council of the City of St. Paul which report, among other things, is to contain a detailed account of its receipts and expenditures during the preceding calendar year and, WHERMS, such records of account should be submitted only after the same have been examined and certified to by the Public Examiner of the State of Minnesota or by competent, recognized, certified public accountants, and, WHERMASs experience over the past years has indicated that it has not been feasible or possible to obtain proper certification of the records of account prior to the end of January, with respect to the accounting activities during the preceding calendar year, NOW THEREFORE RE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of the State of Minnesota be requested to amend Minnesota Statutes, 1961, Section 458016 (7) by striking the requirement for said reports being submitted annually in January and substituting therefor that such reports be submitted annually by April 1 of each year, AND RE IT FUUHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution, and of the sug- gested Bill For An Act, be forwarded to the mayor and members of the coun- cil of the City of St. Paul and to the members of the Ramey County delegation to the Legislature of the State of Miiinesotao Adopted January 22, 1963 Attest: Secretary -- - - -� (Seal) S ign d o President, Port Authority A RILL FOR AN ACT AMENDING MINNESOTA STA °ES OF 13618 SECTION 458.16 (7) , RELATING TO THE ING OF ANNUAL REPORTS BY FORT AUTHORITIES IN CITXES OF THE FIRST cLasS RE IT ENACTED Vi THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MIMMOT As Section to Minnesota Statutes, 1361, Section 458.16 (7) is amended to read: s 458.16 (7) Ammally An-Jamury An-Jam by Wi.l first of each year to make written report to the council of such city, giving a detailed account of its activitiea and of its re- ceipts sud expenditures during the preceding calendar year., together with such further matters and recomendationps as it shall deem advisable for the advancement of the comerre and welfare of the port district; 1 s t A RILL FOR AN ACT AMENDING MINNESOTA STA °ES OF 13618 SECTION 458.16 (7) , RELATING TO THE ING OF ANNUAL REPORTS BY FORT AUTHORITIES IN CITXES OF THE FIRST cLasS RE IT ENACTED Vi THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MIMMOT As Section to Minnesota Statutes, 1361, Section 458.16 (7) is amended to read: s 458.16 (7) Ammally An-Jamury An-Jam by Wi.l first of each year to make written report to the council of such city, giving a detailed account of its activitiea and of its re- ceipts sud expenditures during the preceding calendar year., together with such further matters and recomendationps as it shall deem advisable for the advancement of the comerre and welfare of the port district; 1 Proposed Bill for an Act Amending M.S. 458.16 (7) , Relating to Annual Reports of Port Authorities In Cities of the First Class The referred to section calls for a detailed report, including receipts and expenditures of a port authority, to be submitted in writing annually, during the month of January, to cover the activities during the preceding calendar year. A principal portion of such a report is the financial activities and it has proven to be generally impossible to obtain an au- dited report, prepared by on acceptable C.P.A. by the time speci- fied. Furthermore, it would not appear to be advisable that such a formal report include unaudited figures. It is, therefore, essential to have the period within which this report is to be made, extended. It is not unreasonable that a period of three months be allowed for the annual closing of the books of account of a port authority, the complete auditing of those accounts by a qualified C.P.A. and the preparing of the report on the activities and recommendations of such port author- ity. It is, therefore, proposed that Section 458.16 (7) be amended to permit the anz9ual report to be made by April First of each year, with respect to its activities during the preceding calendar year.
