As a result, we have been able to significantly expand the opportunities for the businesses in the Highland area to have a voice in government decisions and to increase opportunities for our members to network with other businesses and community leaders. Our goals this year include increasing the services provided to our members, expanding Discover Highland Night making it a significant yearly event, looking at additional ways to showcase Highland and its businesses, and partnering with the City for redevelopment/development of Highland's commercial areas. Your continued support of the Chamber and the community is vital to accomplishing these goals. As you know, our only means of financial support, other than some funding from the City, is through our membership dues, fimdraisers, and our sponsorship program. Since you have been so supportive of the Highland community, we would like East Valley Water District to be one of our sponsors! I have attached this year's sponsorship package for your review with the hope that East Valley Water District will become a Corporate or Chamber Sponsor, One of the benefits not listed in the package is that if you become a sponsor, it is a one-time donation for the entire year.

Please review the package and return to us at your earliest convenience the enclosed form indicating your intentions for the new sponsorship year. The sponsorships are limited and will be assigned on a first come basis. Assuming a favorable response, we will then prepare the sponsorship a~eement for signature.

Post Office Box 3427 San Bernardino, California 92413 We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide East Valley Water District for the year ended June 30, 2002. We will audit the financial statements of East Valley Water District as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. Also, the document we submit to you will include the schedule of expenditures of federal awards that will be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements. Audit Objectives The objective of our audit is the expression of an opinion as to whether your financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles and to report on the fairness of the additional information referred to in the first paragraph when considered in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The objective also includes reporting on - · Internal control related to the financial statements and compliance with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a material effect on the financial statements in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. · Internal control related to major programs and an opinion (or disclaimer of opinion) on compliance with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements that could have a direct and material effect on each major program in accordance with the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and OMB Ch'cular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, Our audit will be conducted in accordance with United States generally accepted auditing standards; the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996; and the provisions of OMB Circular A-133, and will include tests of accounting records and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such an opinion and to render the required reports. If our opinion on the financial statements or the Single Audit compliance opinion is other than unqualified, we will fully discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete the audit or are unable to form an opinion or have not formed an opinion, we may decline to express an opinion or issue a report as a result of this engagement. Board of Directors May 17, 2002 East Valley Water District Page 2 Management Responsibilities Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control and for compliance with the provisions of contracts, agreements, and grants. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of the controls. The objectives of internal control are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorizations and recorded properly to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that federal award programs are managed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements. Management is responsible for making all financial records and related information available to us. We understand that you will provide us with such information required for our audit and that you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that information. We will advise you about appropriate accounting principles and their application and will assist in the preparation of your financial statements, including the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, but the responsibility for the financial statements remains with you. That responsibility includes the establishment and maintenance of adequate records and effective internal control over financial reporting and compliance, the selection and application of accounting principles, and the safeguarding of assets. Management is responsible for adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements and for confirming to us in the representation letter that the effects of any uncorrected misstatements aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. Additionally, as required by OMB Circular A-133, it is management's responsibility to follow up and take corrective action on reported audit findings, if any. Audit Procedures - General An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; therefore, our audit will invotve judgment about the number of transactions to be examined and the areas to be tested. We will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether caused by error or fraud. As required by the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and OMB Circular A-133, our audit will include test of transactions related to major federal award programs for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements. Because or the concept of reasonable assurance and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that a material errors, fraud, other illegal acts, or noncompliance may exist and not be detected by us. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect errors, fraud, or other illegal acts that are immaterial to the financial statements or to major programs. However, we will inform you of any material errors and any fraud that comes to our attention. We will also inform you of any other illegal acts that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential. We will include such matters in the reports required for a Single Audit. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to matters that might arise during any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors. Board of Directors May 17, 2002 East Valley Water District Page 3 Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in. the accounts, and may include tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of receivables and certain other assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected individuals, creditors, and financial institutions. We will request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement, and they may bill you for responding to this inquiry. At the conclusion of our audit, we will also require certain written representations from you about the financial statements and related matters. Audit Procedures - Internal Controls In planning and performing our audit, we will consider the internal control sufficient to plan the audit in order to determine the nature, timing, and extent of our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on East Valley Water District's financial statements and on its compliance with requirements applicable to major programs. We will obtain an understanding of the design of the relevant controls and whether they have been placed in operation, and we will assess control risk. Tests of controls may be performed to test the effectiveness of certain controls that we consider relevant to preventing and detecting misstatemenis resulting from itlegal acts and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. Tests of controls relative to the financial statements are required only if control risk is assessed below the maximum level. Our tests, if performed, will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on internal control and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards. As required by OMB Circular A-133, we will perform tests of controls to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of controls that we consider relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with compliance requirements, applicable to each major federal award program. However, our tests will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on those controls and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to OMB Circular A-133. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify reportable conditions, However, we will inform the Board of Directors of any matters involving internal control and its operation that we consider to be reportable conditions under standards established by the American Institute of Cer[ified Public Accountants. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the entity's ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data consistent with the assertions of management in the financial statements. We will also inform you of any nonreportable conditions or other matters involving internal control, if any, as required by OMB Circular A-133. Board of Directors May 17, 2002 East Valley Water District Page 4 Audit Procedures - Compliance Our audit wiI~ be conducted in accordance with the standards referred to in the section titled Audit Objectives. As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of East Valley Water District's compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and agreements, including grant agreements. However, the objective of those procedures will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance and we will not express such an opinion in our report on compliance issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards. OMB Circular A-133 requires that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the auditee has complied with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements applicable to major programs. Our procedures will consist of the applicable procedures described in the OMB Circular A-'133 Compliance Supplement for the types of compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on East Valley Water District's grant program. The purpose of those procedures will be to express an opinion on East Valley Water District's compliance with requirements applicable to the grant program in our report on compliance issued pursuant to OMB Circular A-133. Audit Administration, Fees, and Other We understand that your employees will prepare ali cash, accounts receivable, or other confirmations we request and will locate any documents selected by us for testing. At the conclusion of the engagement, we will complete the appropriate sections of and sign the Data Collection Form that summarizes our audit findings. We will provide information to management as to where the reporting packages should be submitted and the number to submit. The workpapers for this engagement are the property of Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP and constitute confidential information. However, pursuant to authority given by law or reguration, we may be requested to make certain workpapers available to the EPA or its designee, or the U.S. General Accounting Office for purposes of a quality review of the audit, to resolve audit findings, or to carry out oversight responsibilities. We will notify you of any such request. If requested, access to such workpapers will be provided under the supervision of Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP personnel. Furthermore, upon request, we may provide photocopies of selected workpapers to the aforementioned parties. These parties may intend, or decide, to distribute the photocopies or information contained therein to others, including other governmental agencies. Board of Directors May 17, 2002 East Valley Water District Page 5 We expect to begin our audit on approximately August 12, 2002 and to issue our repods no later than September 20, 2002. We estimate that our fees for these services will range from $20,925 to $22,300 for the financial audit and preparation of the state controller's report. We estimated that our fee to perform additional procedures required by Governmental Auditing Standards and OMB Circular A-133 will range from $5,750 to $6,750. The fee estimate is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected circumstances will not be encountered during the audit. If significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with you and arrive at a new fee estimate before we incur the additional costs. Our invoices for these fees will be rendered each month as work progresses and are payable on presentation. Government Auditing Standards require that we provide you with a copy of our most recent quality control review report. Our November 30, 1999, Peer Review report accompanies this letter. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to East Valley Water District and believe this letter accurately summarizes the significant terms of our engagement. If you have any questions, please let us know. If you agree with the terms of our engagement as described in this letter, please sign the enclosed copy and return it to us.

Mo~,, CPA May 17, 2000 '* Professional 0ofF'oration CONSULTANTS William J, Boyle, CRA To the Owners James G, Nishi, CPA Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP We have reviewed the system of quality control for the accounting and auditing practice of Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP (the firm) in effect for the year ended November 30, 1999. A system of quality control encompasses the firm's organizational structure and the policies adopted and procedures established to provide it with reasonable assurance of complying with professional standards. The elements of quality control are described in the Statements on Quality Control Standards issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The design of the system and compliance with it are the responsibility of the firm. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the design of the system, and the fn-m's compliance with the system based on our review. Our review was conducted in conformity with standards established by the Peer Review Board of the AICPA. In performing our review, we obtained an understanding of the system of quality control for the firm's accounting and auditing practice. In addition, we tested compliance with the fn-m's quality control policies and procedures to the extent we considered appropriate. These tests covered the application of the faTn's policies and procedures on selected engagements. Because our review was based on selective tests, it would not necessarily disclose all weaknesses in the system of quality control or all instances of lack of compliance with it. Because there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of quality control, departures from the system may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of a system of quality control to future periods is subject to the risk that the system of quality control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or because the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, the system of quality control for the accounting and auditing practice of Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP in effect for the year ended November 30, 1999, has been designed to meet the requirements of quality control standards for an accounting and auditing practice established by the AICPA and was complied with during the year then ended to provide the firm with reasonable assurance of complying with professional standards. 1810 Harrison St,'eet "Oar,~and, CA ~46 2-do79" 510.832.9325 or 800.94!2727 .
