Staff Contact: Jerry Janulewicz Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 5 / 160 Council Agenda Memo From:Jerry Janulewicz, City Administrator Meeting:August 9, 2022 Subject:Purchase of Lot 3, Hanover Third Subdivision Presenter(s):Jerry Janulewicz and Todd McCoy Background In 2017, the City Council approved a lease with option to purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby the City leased and later purchased land utilized for Fire Station # 4 and the 911/Emergency Management Center. The Agreement included an option to purchase an additional tract of land now known as Lot 3, Hanover Third Subdivision. Lot 3 is located immediately west of and abuts the City land at 13th Street and North Road. The Agreement specifies a purchase price of $136,482.50 and the conditions of sale. The option to purchase the property expires in November 2022. A copy of the subdivision plat and a GIS image of the site are included with this memo. Discussion The Lot 3 in Hanover Third Subdivision is ideally located for providing recreational opportunities in the western areas of Grand Island where residential development has been seen and continue into the future. The property is approximately 4.5 acres in area, which is comparable in size with Lincoln Park and Southman Park. It could accommodate a neighborhood pool, splash pad, or other public park and recreational uses. The matter is brought forward at this time, prior to adoption of the 2022-23 budget, as the Seller and its principals would like to move forward with development of the property if the City does not intend to exercise its purchase option. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1.Move to approve 2.Refer the issue to a Committee Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 6 / 160 3.Postpone the issue to future date 4.Take no action on the issue Recommendation City Administration recommends that the Council approve acquisition of the above- described property through approval of the resolution or, in the alternative, that direction be given to release and terminate the option so the owners can proceed with development of the site. Sample Motion Move to approve the resolution to purchase Lot 3, Hanover Third Subdivision.

The City coordinated with local non-profits, housing providers, private developers and local employers while developing the 2019-2023 Consolidated plan goals and develops programs that will help meet the goals identified in the consolidated plan. The City of Grand Island has a unique committee that acts as the review board and makes recommendation to City Council for funding allocations, this committee is known as the Entitlement Stakeholders and is comprised of representation from the 5 local organizations listed below and 2 members from City administration/ City Council: Grand Island Area Economic Development Corporation Grow Grand Island Grand Island Area Chamber of Commerce Community Redevelopment Authority Hall County Housing Authority City Administration City Council By using the representation of these organizations the City is able obtain a diverse set of views to help meet the community needs while planning the Annual Action Plan. All meetings of the Entitlement Stakeholders committee follow the Nebraska open Meetings Act allowing for citizen participation. The City of Grand Island‘s Regional Planning department does have a Hazard mitigation plan that is updated every 5 years. The purpose of this plan is to produce a program of activities that will best tackle Hall County’s hazard and flood problems and meet other, community-specific needs. Another item that analyzes Hazard mitigation is the Hall County’s Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) which is committed to improve the public’s awareness of possible chemical hazards located in Hall County, and to ensure the proper resources and planning regarding the safety of our communities. The City of Grand Island has recognized the issues surrounding the availability of broadband in our community. While there are multiple internet service providers within Grand Island that offer high speed internet in the form of Cable and DSL some households may not be served Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 45 / 160 Annual Action Plan 7 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) due to a variety of different issues. Although it can be presumed that household income is one of the main issues, at this time there is no one entity in the City who has documented information on the amount of low income households that do or do not have internet services within their home. The City of Grand Island, Public Library and Public Schools all are working towards making sure low income families have access to broadband. The Public Schools within Grand Island currently supplies Ipad tablets to all students that are enrolled in the 6th grade or higher, each tablet has the possibility to link to other wireless connection networks and allows for the students to use the tablet in other locations outside of school. The Public schools does offer a program for severely low income families and currently provides internet connect for around 50 households in Grand Island. If a family does not have internet connection within their home they may visit one of the many restaurants, shopping areas and/or the local Library. The Grand Island Public Library currently offers free wireless internet to any resident of Grand Island when they visit the Library. The Library is currently working on starting a new program that will include mobile libraries with books and internet that can be set out in different neighborhoods within the community that are in need. The City is always on the lookout for ways that may help narrow the digital divide with the use of CDBG funds as well as utilizing other funding sources as well. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)) Throughout the process of developing the Annual Action Plan, the City provides opportunities for the public to give input and feedback at public meetings and through public comment periods. There is a representative at every public meeting from the Hall County Housing Authority and other non-profit agencies are invited to join. By having the Entitlement Stakeholders Committee the City is able to have a coordinated approach when developing the Annual Action Plan and to ensure that available resources are fully utilized and leveraged. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness. Community Development Division staff participates with the area’s service providers to enhance the community's comprehensive Continuum of Care system to end homelessness and meet the needs of vulnerable populations within the City. This dynamic partnership includes Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 46 / 160 Annual Action Plan 8 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) collaborative efforts of a variety of community groups, government agencies and a coalition of more than 40 public service providers.

The City proposes the use of the funds, be used for Public facilities, economic development activities, public services and program administration. Throughout the 2019 program year the City of Grand Island restructured our current Revolving Loan Fund to allow financial aid to local small businesses in smaller funding awards with a commitment to repay 50% of awarded funds back to the Revolving Loan Fund. This was meant to help local small businesses within Grand Island overcome hardships due to COVID 19. Due to this, the businesses who were awarded funds will be making payments back to the City of Grand Island, the City estimates approximately $20,000 will be replaced back into the Revolving Loan Fund throughout the program year. At this point and time, the City of Grand Island is not receiving HOME funds or ESG funds.

Table 6 - Expected Resources – Priority Table Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 54 / 160 Annual Action Plan 16 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied At this time the City of Grand Island does not require a local match from sub grantees although the City plans on using funds, whenever possible, to assist community groups and organizations in leveraging resources. This means the City will consider projects a priority if the CDBG funds will be used as a leverage to further secure additional funding to conduct a project on a scale much larger than would have been possible with CDBG funds alone. Within this plan the City has allocated funds to Hope Harbor a local Women’s and family homeless shelter. These funds will be used in the acquisition of land. Hope Harbor will secure approximately 50% of the cost of the land from other sources to partner which the CBDG funds to help meet future needs within our community. If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) currently owns a single property in the City of Grand Island. The CRA is an entity that operates separate from the City, but it is managed by Chad Nabity, the Regional Planning Director for the City of Grand Island. This property could be used in future development to help fulfill the goals expressed in the consolidated plan. It is, however located on a prominent corner at one of the City entrances and is likely to be developed for commercial purposes. The City of Grand Island has a long term plan for upgrading all public sidewalks in the City for ADA Accessibility. These improvements will occur with the publicly owned right-of-way. These activities specifically support our goal to “Support Public Services for vulnerable population”. Discussion No further discussion necessary.

Although progress has been made with the Housing improvement Partnership which has been absorbed as a committee of the Grand Island Area Economic Development Corporation and has been renamed BUILD GI. BUILD GI and the GIAEDC were able to successfully secure Rural Workforce Housing Funds from the State of Nebraska, the goal of these funds is to assist area developers to revitalize, rehabilitate, and add to the current housing stock within the city of Grand Island. Although CDBG can be used to leverage these dollars the City continues to provide staff to work with the GIAEDC to be a part of the BUILD GI advisory Committee which will aid in the process of utilizing $2 million of grant funding to be placed in housing stock within Grand Island to help achieve attainable housing. Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 63 / 160 Annual Action Plan 25 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h) Introduction Throughout the past the City of Grand Island and the Hall County Housing Authority have taken active steps in attempts to strengthen their capacity to work together and align resources. This includes but is not limited to, consultation efforts, forming Housing Partnerships together and Fair Housing tasks. The City of Grand Island sees the Hall County Housing Authority as a well- run and extremely important asset to the community. Although the CDBG funds do not directly benefit the HCHA, the City intends to format CDBG funding in a manner which would help alleviate some of the waiting list pressure by addressing the lack of affordable housing and Job opportunities that are currently hindering the HCHA clients. These steps are a direct result of the City working directly with the HCHA and gaining better insight on the steps we could be making to strengthen them. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing Hall County Housing Authority officials were consulted during the formulation of this Annual Action Plan. The City’s CDBG funds are not sub-awarded directly to the Hall County Housing Authority throughout this Annual Action Plan, but the City plans to use funds in ways to help create affordable quality housing options. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership The local Continuum of Care is a large group of service providers within Grand Island who each offer unique services tailored to the individuals they serve. These services often are meant to be used for a short time to aid residents in areas such as Job Employment, educational help and help to special populations. When service providers are able to provide such services with the help of CDBG funding residents within the community of Grand Island are in a better position to be more in involved in management and participate in homeownership If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 64 / 160 Annual Action Plan 26 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) The Hall County Housing Authority is not designated as troubled.

Each Continuum provides oversight of federal homeless assistance dollars and collaborates with local communities to provide the best service to our residents who are homeless. In addition the City has a smaller local Continuum of Care of Service providers within Grand Island that meets monthly in order to collaborate on cases. Throughout the 2022 program year the City of Grand Island is not allocating funds directly to public services that will benefit homeless and near homeless persons although there are multiple programs that have previously been funded by CDBG funds that are still providing services and meeting the need of those who are homeless. The City has allocated funds from the 2022 program year to Hope Harbor to aid in the acquisition of land that will be used for homeless services in the future. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The Nebraska Balance of state CoC which includes local homeless agencies, conducts annual surveys with a point in time count. These surveys are used by many non-profit service providers within the City to fulfill program requirements and needs. The City of Grand Island does not directly financially support all agencies within the CoC but provides support by participating in the monthly case coordination meetings, resulting in better services and for clients in need by teaming with multiple local service providers. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons There are a variety of agencies within the City of Grand that provide housing options and case management assistance including those returning from mental and physical health institutions, domestic violence, veterans and homelessness. They provide the option of living independently or in a group settings. The Local Continuum of Care group is a good resource for case management as it meets monthly in order to collaborate services to best meet the needs of residents in Grand Island. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 67 / 160 Annual Action Plan 29 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again Homeless providers are focusing efforts on increasing the bed count for both emergency shelter and transitional housing programs. Funding for these efforts are limited and the City does not have the capability to fund all of the services providers. Hope Harbor a local shelter was allocated funds from the 2022 CDBG annual allocation for land acquisition. The end use of the new land would provide 10 transitional and/or permanent living spaces for those that would not otherwise be able to leave the shelter due to the average costs of rent in our community. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. There are a variety of service providers in the City of Grand Island that assist low income individuals and families. These providers coordinate to ensure that they are meeting the needs of the community to the best of their ability. One of the ways they coordinate is through the area's local Continuum of Care group. The group offers a chance for service providers to have a round table discussion about updates and changes in their organizations and a chance for them to seek assistance and advice if needed. Project Homeless Connect is a community event where these organizations collaborate to offer much needed services in one location on the same day to individuals and families in need.

Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 68 / 160 Annual Action Plan 30 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j) Introduction: Grand Island partners with the Hall County Housing Authority and several non-profit agencies to assist in projects designed to provide affordable rental and homeowner housing, including assistance to people with disabilities and homeless individuals and families. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment The City of Grand Island has taken actions in the past to remove negative effects of public policies in regard to the development of affordable housing including the change of subdivision regulations to allow for narrower streets and small lots sizes, thereby reducing the cost to the developer, which could in turn foster a reduction in cost to the potential homeowners. In regard to the CBDG funds and future plans to remove or ameliorate barriers, the City of Grand Island has partnered with other local housing agencies to form the BUILD GI advisory Committee, this group works within the community to aid in the goal of obtaining affordable housing and has been able to secure local and grant funding to aid in adding and revitalizing housing stock in Grand Island. Discussion: No further discussion necessary Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 69 / 160 Annual Action Plan 31 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k) Introduction: The City of Grand Island has multiple strategies to meet the needs of the community. CDBG funds are a small, yet primary funding component to assist in meeting most of these needs. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The allocation of funding in the 2022 Annual Action Plan aims to provide the community’s special needs population, including handicapped, low income and elderly access to services utilized by the general at large. Projects will help provide a suitable living environment by making services accessible to needy individuals. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The City of Grand Island has funded multiple housing programs including down payment assistance and owner occupied rehabilitation programs; all of which require a lead based paint inspection on all homes built prior 1978. Homes that were built prior to 1978 are presumed or tested to have lead-based paint. The City of Grand Island does not intend to directly operate any Rehabilitation efforts during the 2022 Annual Action Plan Period. For this reason, the Lead based paint guidelines which apply are those directly related to sub-recipients of CDBG funds. The following actions are included in the City's Community Development Policy and Procedures document: “At a minimum, Sub-recipient is required to: a) Notify a purchaser or lessee of the presence of any known lead-based paint and/or lead- based paint hazards; b) Paint test surfaces to be disturbed or removed during rehabilitation for the presence of lead- based paint, or presume lead-based paint and notify the occupants of the results within 15 days of when the evaluation report is received or the presumption is made; c) Provide each occupied dwelling unit discussed in (a) and (b) in the preceding section with the EPA-approved lead hazard information pamphlet Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home or EPA-approved equivalent; Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 70 / 160 Annual Action Plan 32 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) d) Reduce lead hazards as required by the applicable subparts of Part 35 (full description of Part 35 is available in the Community Development Policy and Procedures, it states the varying levels of requirements, in relation to the level of financial assistance provided); and e) Perform clearance testing, including dust testing, before re-occupancy after all but minimal (“deminimis”) amounts of paint disturbances.” It should also be noted that the Community Development Policy and Procedures states that “Where regulations differ, Sub-recipients are held to the stricter of the standards.” At this point and time, the City sees the implementation and enforcement of the above guidelines as actively attempting to reduce Lead Based Paint Hazards. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City of Grand Island has formatted its CDBG allocation in a manner which intends to reduce the number of poverty-level families. This includes the support through improvements to Low and moderate income areas throughout the City of Grand Island. It is the intent of the City to continue to support these programs in their efforts to address the poverty needs throughout the 2022 Program Year. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The City of Grand Island’s Administration will continue to monitor the effectiveness and productivity of the Community Development Division and will add additional staff as the growth of the program allows, if needed. The Continuum of Care, and subsequent members, are still operating within the Balance of State model for operations and funding purposes. While the City of Grand Island has moved over into Metropolitan status, which has included funding changes such as creating a Metropolitan Planning Agency and Entitlement funding. The City only receives Entitlement CDBG funds as Metro based funding, while local non-profit service providers are receiving funding and generating data on a Balance of State level for other federal funding, due to this it is difficult to develop an Institutional Structure meets all the needs of vulnerable populations within the community. Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 71 / 160 Annual Action Plan 33 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) For this reason, the stated steps that the City of Grand Island will be taking are those which allow us to foster relationships and address low to moderate income populations, while working with the ultimate goal of executing our Annual Action Plan to the best of our ability. While the Continuum of Care is a part of the Balance of State model, all funding priorities, projects, data and plans will reflect the goals of the entire state of Nebraska excluding Omaha and Lincoln for other funding sources such as CoC, ESG and HOME funds, making it quite difficult to develop an institutional structure which would be specific to Grand Island that incorporates the use of all. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social services agencies The City of Grand Island will continue to work closely with the Continuum of Care to identify the needs of the social service agencies who work with the homeless and near homeless populations of Grand Island. Additionally, the City of Grand Island plans to continue to work closely with the Hall County Housing Authority in many capacities to support public housing including extensive collaboration in implementation of the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Program Guidelines. Multiple housing agencies within the City of Grand Island have continued to partner through the BUILD GI (which is currently coordinated by the Grand Island Area Economic Development Corporation) The Hall County Housing Authority’s Executive Director also serves on the Advisory board for BUILD GI. The anticipated collaborations over the next fiscal year between these agencies and the City’s efforts through BUILD GI will most definitely strengthen the coordination and implementation capacity of all parties involved, especially related to the very prevalent need of creating additional and maintaining affordable housing.

The following City Officials were present: City Administrator Jerry Janulewicz, Deputy City Clerk Jill Granere, Finance Director Patrick Brown, and Interim Public Works Director Keith Kurz. SPECIAL ITEMS: Southwest Power Pool Overview. Utilities Director Tim Luchsinger reported that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) encouraged the voluntary formation of Regional Transmission Organizations (RTO) to administer the transmission grid on a regional basis through North America (including Canada). The purpose of the RTO was to promote economic efficiency, reliability, and non-discriminatory practices while reducing government oversight. Explained were the differences between capacity vs. energy where capacity was the amount of power a generating resource was producing at a single point in time, expressed in units of megawatts (MW). Energy was the amount of power a generating resource produced over a time, expressed in units of megawatt-hours (MWh). Mr. Luchsinger gave examples to both. Southwest Power Pool (SPP) generation requirements were: Nameplate Capacity – the capability of a generating resource at its full rated output and the Accredited Capacity – under SPP rules, each utility must secure accredited capacity equal to at least their peak load plus a 12% reserve margin. The following Grand Island Generation Units were presented: Platte Generating Station – 100 megawatt (MW) Coal Burdick Station o GT-1 – 13.8 MW Natural Gas/Oil o GT-2 – 34 MW Natural Gas/Oil o GT-3 – 34 MW Natural Gas/Oil Nebraska City 2 – 35 MW Coal Whelan 2 – 15 MW Coal The following were Grand Island’s Renewable Generation with NPPD Power Purchase Agreements with GIUD participation agreements: Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 93 / 160 Page 2, City Council Study Session, August 2, 2022 Ainsworth – 1 megawatt (MW0 Elkhorn Ridge – 1 MW Laredo Ridge – 1 MW Broken Bow – 1 MW Springview 2 – minimal output – access to data Prairie Breeze II (Elgin) – 35.8 MW Museum Road Solar – 1 MW Western Area Power Association Hydro – 5 to 7 MW Presented was the GIUD Capacity: GIUD Accredited Capacity = 232 MW GIUD Current Peak Load = 151 MW GIUD Required Capacity (+12%) = 170 MW Mr. Luchsinger explained the SPP Energy Market. A utility’s portfolio must be constructed to fulfill SPP capacity requirements, but the portfolio’s standing in the SPP market goes a long ways toward determining its economic viability.

The current agreement with BKD ended with the 2021 audit year. Because of this, on June 30, 2022, the City advertised an RFP for Audit Services. On July 21, 2022 this RFP closed and one firm submitted a proposal. The evaluation committee met with the finalist over a zoom meeting call. Discussion The evaluation committee is recommending the selection of the firm BerganKDV as the external auditors for all City funds for the audit years 2022 to 2024. Yearly pricing is shown below and included in their attached engagement letter. While BKD was the lowest priced provider, there were two other primary reasons they are being recommended for approval. BerganKDV utilizes technology that will improve the completion of their audit work prior to and while performing the City audit. BerganKDV will offer a fresh perspective for the Finance department and how we approach accounting for City finances. BerganKDV staff will also help fully evaluate all of the prepared work papers that City Finance Department staff currently completes on a yearly basis. This will optimize the information we provide to our auditors, no matter who they are, as well as save time for department staff by eliminating any information that is no longer used or can be derived elsewhere in the process. SUMARY OF PRICING 2022 2023 2024 3 yr. Total BerganKDV $ 73,000 $ 76,000 $ 79,000 $ 228,000 Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 119 / 160 Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1.Move to approve 2.Refer the issue to a Committee 3.Postpone the issue to future date 4.Take no action on the issue Recommendation City Administration recommends that the City Council approve the resolution to establish BerganKDV as the City audit firm beginning with the 2022 audit year.

This agreement is to confirm our understanding of the terms and objectives of our engagement and the nature and limitations of the services we are to provide. AUDIT SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES We will audit the financial statements as identified in the summary of engagement terms, including the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the basic financial statements of the governmental entity. Accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) provide for certain required supplementary information (RSI), such as management's discussion and analysis (MD&A), to supplement the governmental entity's basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. As part of our engagement, we will apply certain limited procedures to the governmental entity's RSI in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). These limited procedures will consist of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We will not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. The required RSI is identified in the summary of engagement terms and will be subjected to certain limited procedures but will not be audited. We may also be engaged to report on supplementary information other than RSI, including the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, that accompanies the governmental entity's financial statements. If we opine on the supplementary information, accompanying the financial statements as identified in the summary of engagement terms, we will subject the supplementary information to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS, and we will provide an opinion on it in relation to the financial statements as a whole. If we do not provide an opinion or any assurance on the supplementary information other than RSI as identified in the summary of engagement terms, the other information accompanying the financial statements will not be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and our auditor's report will not provide an opinion or any assurance on that other information. We will read the other supplementary information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other supplementary information and the basic financial statements, or the other supplementary information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other supplementary information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions about whether your financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with the financial reporting framework identified in the summary of engagement terms and report on the fairness of the supplementary information for which we opine on as identified in the summary of engagement terms when considered in relation to the financial statements as a whole. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements, including omissions, can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment of a reasonable user made based on the financial statements. The objectives also include reporting on: x Internal control over financial reporting and compliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and award agreements, noncompliance with which could have a material effect on the financial statements in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. x Internal control over compliance related to major programs and an opinion (or disclaimer of opinion) on compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards that could have a direct and material effect on each major program in accordance with the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 123 / 160 AUDIT ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT | Governmental with Federal Single Audit 3 | PA G E BERGANKDV|BERGANKDV.COM|DDO M O R E . AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SINGLE AUDIT We will conduct our audit in accordance with GAAS; 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 the Uniform Guidance, and will include tests of accounting records, a determination of major program(s) in accordance with Uniform Guidance, and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such opinions. As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We will evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management. We will also evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and determine whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether from (1) errors, (2) fraudulent financial reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable to the government or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of the government. Because the determination of waste and abuse is subjective, Government Auditing Standards do not expect auditors to perform specific procedures to detect waste or abuse in financial audits nor do they expect auditors to provide reasonable assurance of detecting waste or abuse. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, combined with the inherent limitations of internal control, and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements or noncompliance may not be detected by us, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the financial statements or on major programs. However, we will inform the appropriate level of management of any material errors, any fraudulent financial reporting, or misappropriation of assets that come to our attention. We will also inform the appropriate level of management of any violations of laws or governmental regulations 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 any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors. We will also conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the government's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. 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 assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected individuals, funding sources, creditors, and financial institutions. We may also request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement. We will identify significant risks of material misstatement as part of our audit planning. Audit planning and plan modifications continue throughout the course of the audit, as such, identified risks will include those identified and communicated to you previously, including during the prior year, modified for additional significant risks identified and prior risks no longer considered significant. These significant risks and modifications will be communicated to you throughout the audit process. A complete summary of significant risks identified will be included in our communications letter, required communications to those charged with governance. THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS We may, from time to time and depending on the circumstances, use third-party service providers, some of whom may be in the cloud, in serving your account. We may share confidential information about you with these service providers but remain committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of your information. Accordingly, we maintain internal policies, procedures, and safeguards to protect the confidentiality of your personal information. In addition, we will secure confidentiality terms with all service providers to maintain the confidentiality of your information and we will take reasonable precautions to determine that they have appropriate procedures in place to prevent the unauthorized release of your confidential information to others. In the event that we are unable to secure appropriate confidentiality terms, you will be asked to provide your consent prior to the sharing of your confidential information with the third-party service provider. Furthermore, we will remain responsible for the work provided by any such third-party service providers. Although we will use our best efforts to make the sharing of your information with such third parties secure from unauthorized access, no completely secure system for electronic data transfer exists. As such, by your signature on this agreement, you understand that the firm makes no warranty, expressed or implied, on the security of electronic data transfers. Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 124 / 160 AUDIT ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT | Governmental with Federal Single Audit 4 | PA G E BERGANKDV|BERGANKDV.COM|DDO M O R E . AUDIT PROCEDURES – INTERNAL CONTROL We will obtain an understanding of the government and its environment, including internal control relevant to the audit, sufficient to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and to design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentation, or the override of internal control. Tests of controls may be performed to test the effectiveness of certain controls that we consider relevant to preventing and detecting errors and fraud that are material to the financial statements and to preventing and detecting misstatements resulting from illegal acts and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. 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 the Uniform Guidance, we will perform tests of controls over compliance 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 the Uniform Guidance. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. Accordingly, we will express no such opinion. However, during the audit, we will communicate to management and those charged with governance internal control related matters that are required to be communicated under AICPA professional standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance. AUDIT PROCEDURES – COMPLIANCE As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of the governmental entity's compliance with provisions of applicable laws, regulations, 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. The Uniform Guidance requires that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the auditee has complied with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards applicable to major programs. Our procedures will consist of tests of transactions and other applicable procedures described in the OMB Compliance Supplement for the types of compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of the governmental entity's major programs. For federal programs that are included in the Compliance Supplement, our compliance and internal control procedures will relate to the compliance requirements that the Compliance Supplement identifies as being subject to audit. The purpose of these procedures will be to express an opinion on the governmental entity's compliance with requirements applicable to each of its major programs in our report on compliance issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance. OTHER SERVICES We will also assist in preparing the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and related notes of the governmental entity in conformity with the financial reporting framework identified in the summary of engagement terms and the Uniform Guidance based on information provided by you. These non-attest services do not constitute an audit under Government Auditing Standards and such services will not be conducted in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. We may provide other non-attest services, as identified in the summary of engagement terms. These services may not be fully covered under this engagement agreement and may be billed separately under other agreements with you. We will perform the services in accordance with applicable professional standards. We, in our sole professional judgment, reserve the right to refuse to perform any procedure or take any action that could be construed as assuming management responsibilities. RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SINGLE AUDIT Our audit will be conducted on the basis that you acknowledge and understand your responsibility for (1) designing, implementing, establishing, and maintaining effective internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 125 / 160 AUDIT ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT | Governmental with Federal Single Audit 5 | PA G E BERGANKDV|BERGANKDV.COM|DDO M O R E . financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, including internal controls over federal awards, and for evaluating and monitoring ongoing activities, to help ensure that appropriate goals and objectives are met; (2) following laws and regulations; (3) ensuring that there is reasonable assurance that government programs are administered in compliance with compliance requirements; and (4) ensuring that management and financial information is reliable and properly reported. Management is also responsible for implementing systems designed to achieve compliance with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements. You are also responsible for the selection and application of accounting principles; for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and all accompanying information in conformity with the financial reporting framework identified in the summary of engagement terms and for compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including federal statutes) and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements (including award agreements).

At the conclusion of our audit, we will require certain written representations from you about the financial statements; schedule of expenditures of federal awards; federal award programs; compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements; and related matters. Your responsibilities include adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements and confirming to us in the management 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 of each opinion unit taken as a whole. You are responsible for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud, and for informing us about all known or suspected fraud affecting the government involving (1) management, (2) employees who have significant roles in internal control, and (3) others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. Your responsibilities include informing us of your knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the government received in communications from employees, former employees, grantors, regulators, or others. In addition, you are responsible for identifying and ensuring that the government complies with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, and grants. You are also responsible for taking timely and appropriate steps to remedy fraud and noncompliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, that we report. Additionally, as required by the Uniform Guidance, it is management's responsibility to evaluate and monitor noncompliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards; take prompt action when instances of noncompliance are identified including noncompliance identified in audit findings; promptly follow up and take corrective action on reported audit findings; and prepare a summary schedule of prior audit findings and a separate corrective action plan. The summary schedule of prior audit findings should be available for our review during our fieldwork. You are responsible for identifying all federal awards received and understanding and complying with the compliance requirements and for the preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (including notes and noncash assistance received, and COVID-19-related concepts, such as lost revenues, if applicable) in conformity with the Uniform Guidance. You agree to include our report on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards in any document that contains and indicates that we have reported on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. You also agree to include the audited financial statements with any presentation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards that includes our report thereon or make the audited financial statements readily available to intended users of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards no later than the date the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is issued with our report thereon. Your responsibilities include acknowledging to us in the written representation letter that (1) you are responsible for presentation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards in accordance with the Uniform Guidance; (2) you believe the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, including its form and content, is stated fairly in accordance with the Uniform Guidance; (3) the methods of measurement or presentation have not changed from those used in the prior period (or, if they have changed, the reasons for such changes); and (4) you have disclosed to us any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the measurement or presentation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 126 / 160 AUDIT ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT | Governmental with Federal Single Audit 6 | PA G E BERGANKDV|BERGANKDV.COM|DDO M O R E . You are also responsible for the preparation of the other supplementary information, which we have been engaged to report on, in conformity with the financial reporting framework identified in the summary of engagement terms. You agree to include our report on the supplementary information in any document that contains, and indicates that we have reported on, the supplementary information. You also agree to include the audited financial statements with any presentation of the supplementary information that includes our report thereon or make the audited financial statements readily available to users of the supplementary information no later than the date the supplementary information is issued with our report thereon. Your responsibilities include acknowledging to us in the written representation letter that (1) you are responsible for presentation of the supplementary information in accordance with the financial reporting framework identified in the summary of engagement terms; (2) you believe the supplementary information, including its form and content, is fairly presented in accordance with the financial reporting framework identified in the summary of engagement terms; (3) the methods of measurement or presentation have not changed from those used in the prior period (or, if they have changed, the reasons for such changes); and (4) you have disclosed to us any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the measurement or presentation of the supplementary information. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a process for tracking the status of audit findings and recommendations. Management is also responsible for identifying and providing report copies of previous financial audits, attestation engagements, performance audits, or other studies related to the objectives discussed in the Audit Scope and Objectives section of this agreement. This responsibility includes relaying to us corrective actions taken to address significant findings and recommendations resulting from those audits, attestation engagements, performance audits, or studies. You are also responsible for providing management's views on our current findings, conclusions, and recommendations, as well as your planned corrective actions, for the report, and for the timing and format for providing that information. You agree to assume all management responsibilities for the non-attest services, as identified in the summary of engagement terms, financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and related notes, and any other non-attest services we provide. You will be required to acknowledge in the management representation letter our assistance with preparation of the financial statements, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and related notes and that you have evaluated the adequacy of our services and have reviewed and approved the results of the services, the financial statements, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and related notes prior to their issuance and have accepted responsibility for them. Further, you agree to oversee the non-attest services by designating an individual, preferably from senior management, with suitable skill, knowledge, or experience; evaluate the adequacy and results of those services; and accept responsibility for them. REPORTING We will issue written reports upon completion of our Single Audit. Circumstances may arise in which our report may differ from its expected form and content based on the results of our audit. Depending on the nature of these circumstances, it may be necessary for us to modify our opinions, add a separate section, or add an emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraph to our auditor’s report, or if necessary, withdraw from this engagement. If our opinions are other than unmodified, we will discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete the audit or are unable to form or have not formed opinions, we may decline to express opinions or issue reports, or we may withdraw from this engagement. The Government Auditing Standards report on internal control over financial reporting and on compliance and other matters will state that (1) the purpose of the report is solely to describe the scope of testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance, and (2) the report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. The Uniform Guidance report on internal control over compliance will state that the purpose of the report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Both reports will state that the report is not suitable for any other purpose. ENGAGEMENT ADMINISTRATION, FEES, AND OTHER We understand that your employees will prepare all cash, accounts receivable, and 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 the Data Collection Form that summarizes our audit findings. It is management's responsibility to electronically submit the reporting package (including financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, summary schedule of prior audit findings, auditors' reports, and corrective action plan) along with the Data Collection Form to the federal audit clearinghouse. We will coordinate with you the Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 127 / 160 AUDIT ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT | Governmental with Federal Single Audit 7 | PA G E BERGANKDV|BERGANKDV.COM|DDO M O R E . electronic submission and certification. The Data Collection Form and the reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditors' reports or nine months after the end of the audit period. We will provide copies of our reports to the governmental entity; however, management is responsible for distribution of the reports and the financial statements. Unless restricted by law or regulation, or containing privileged and confidential information, copies of our reports are to be made available for public inspection. The audit documentation for this engagement is the property of BerganKDV and constitutes confidential information. However, subject to applicable laws and regulations, audit documentation and appropriate individuals will be made available upon request and in a timely manner to oversight, regulatory, state agencies or their designees pursuant to authority given to them by law or regulation, a federal agency providing direct or indirect funding, or the U.S. Government Accountability 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 audit documentation will be provided under the supervision of BerganKDV personnel. Furthermore, upon request, we may provide copies of selected audit documentation to the aforementioned parties. These parties may intend, or decide, to distribute the copies or information contained therein to others, including other governmental agencies. The audit documentation for this engagement will be retained for a minimum of five years after the report release date or for any additional period requested by the oversight, regulatory or state agencies. If we are aware that a federal awarding agency, pass-through entity, or auditee is contesting an audit finding, we will contact the parties contesting the audit finding for guidance prior to destroying the audit documentation. The attest engagement partner, as identified in the summary of engagement terms, is responsible for supervising the engagement and signing the reports or authorizing another individual to sign them. Our fees for these services are detailed in the summary of engagement terms. The fee estimate is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel, the assumption that all requested information will be provided timely and accurately, and we will not encounter any significant or unusual circumstances which will affect the scope of our engagement, including unforeseen changes in operations or federal awards, or disruptions in providing our services. If significant additional time is necessary, we will keep you informed of any problems we encounter, and our fees will be adjusted accordingly. Additional time incurred for assistance with implementation of new accounting standards (ASU) will be billed separately and will be based in part upon the amount of time required at our standard billing rates, plus out-of-pocket expenses. Our invoices for these services will be billed with up to a 50% advance retainer due when work commences, and the remaining amounts rendered as work progresses. All invoices are payable on presentation. In accordance with our firm policies, work may be suspended if your account becomes 60 days or more overdue and will not be resumed until your account is paid in full. If we elect to terminate our services for nonpayment, our engagement will be deemed to have been completed upon written notification of termination, even if we have not completed our reports. You will be obligated to compensate us for all time expended and to reimburse us for all out-of-pocket expenses through the date of termination. A service charge of 1% per month, which is an annual rate of 12%, will be added to all accounts unpaid 30 days after billing date. If collection action is necessary, expenses and reasonable attorney's fees will be added to the amount due. Should any litigation or adverse action (such as audits by outside organizations and/or threatened litigation, etc.), by third parties arise against the governmental entity or its officers subsequent to this engagement, which results in the subpoena of documents from our firm and/or requires additional assistance from us to provide information, depositions or testimony, the governmental entity hereby agrees to compensate our firm (at our standard hourly rates then in effect) for additional time charges and other costs (copies, travel, etc.), and to indemnify us for any attorney’s fees we may incur. You may request that we perform additional services not contemplated by this engagement agreement or summary of engagement terms. If this occurs, we will communicate with you regarding the scope of the additional services and the estimated fee. We also may issue a separate engagement agreement and summary of engagement terms covering the additional services. In the absence of any other written communication from us documenting such additional services, our services will continue to be governed by the terms of this engagement agreement and summary of engagement terms. During the course of our engagement, we may accumulate records containing data which should be reflected in your books and records. You will determine that all such data will be so reflected. Accordingly, you understand that our firm does not accept responsibility for hosting client information; therefore, you have the sole responsibility for ensuring you retain and maintain in your possession all your financial and non-financial information, data and records. Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 128 / 160 AUDIT ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT | Governmental with Federal Single Audit 8 | PA G E BERGANKDV|BERGANKDV.COM|DDO M O R E . This engagement agreement and summary of engagement terms includes your authorization for us to supply you with electronically formatted financial statements or drafts of financial statements, financially sensitive information, spreadsheets, trial balances or other financial data from our files, upon your request. If you intend to publish or otherwise reproduce the financial statements and make reference to our Firm name, you agree to provide us with printers' proofs or masters for our review and approval before printing. You also agree to provide us with a copy of the final reproduced material for our approval before it is distributed. Additionally, if you include our report or a reference to our Firm name in an electronic format, you agree to provide the complete electronic communication using or referring to our name to us for our review and approval prior to distribution. During the course of our engagement, we will request information and explanations from management regarding the entity's operations, internal controls, future plans, specific transactions, and accounting systems and procedures. At the conclusion of our engagement, we will require, as a precondition to the issuance of our report, that management provide certain representations in a written representation letter. The procedures we will perform in our engagement and the conclusions we reach as a basis for our report will be heavily influenced by the written and oral representations that we receive from management. Accordingly, false representations could cause us to expend unnecessary efforts or could cause a material error or a fraud to go undetected by our procedures. In view of the foregoing, you agree that we shall not be responsible for any misstatements in the entity's financial statements that we may fail to detect as a result of false or misleading representations that are made to us by management. Any disputes between us that arise under this agreement, or for a breach of this agreement, or that arise out of any other services performed by us for you, must be submitted to nonbinding mediation before either of us can start a lawsuit against the other. To conduct mediation, each of us shall designate a representative with authority to fully resolve any and all disputes, and those representatives shall meet and attempt to negotiate a resolution of the dispute. If that effort fails, then a competent and impartial third party acceptable to each side shall be appointed to hold and conduct a nonbinding mediation proceeding. You and we will equally share in the expenses of the mediator and each of us will pay for our own attorneys' fees, if any. No lawsuit or legal process shall be commenced until at least 60 days after the mediator's first meeting with the parties. The nature of our engagement makes it inherently difficult, with the passage of time, to present evidence in a lawsuit that fully and fairly establishes the facts underlying any dispute that may arise between us. We both agree that notwithstanding any statute of limitation that might otherwise apply to a claim or dispute, including one arising out of this agreement or the services performed under this agreement, or for breach of contract, fraud or misrepresentation, a lawsuit must be commenced within 24 months after the date of our report. This 24-month period applies and starts to run on the date of each report, even if we continue to perform services in later periods and even if you or we have not become aware of the existence of a claim or the basis for a possible claim. In the event that a claim or dispute is not asserted at least 60 days before the expiration of this 24- month period, then the period of limitation shall be extended by 60 days, to allow the parties of conduct nonbinding mediation. Our role is strictly limited to the engagement described in this agreement and summary of engagement terms, and we offer no assurance as to the results or ultimate outcomes of this engagement or of any decisions that you may make based upon our communications with, or our reports to you. Your entity will be solely responsible for making all decisions concerning the contents of our communications and reports, for the adoption of any plans and for implementing any plans you may develop, including any that we may discuss with you. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY You agree that it is appropriate to limit the liability of BerganKDV, its shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. You further agree that you will not hold us liable for any claim, cost or damage, whether based on warranty, tort, contract or other law, arising from or related to this agreement, the services provided under this agreement, the work product, or for any plans, actions or results of this engagement, except to the extent authorized by this agreement. In no event shall we be liable to you for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, or for loss of profits or loss of goodwill, costs or attorney's fees. Because of the importance of oral and written management representations to the effective performance of our services, you agree to hold us harmless and to release, indemnify, and defend us from any liability or costs, including attorney's fees, resulting from management's knowing misrepresentations to us. The exclusive remedy available to you shall be the right to pursue claims for actual damages that are directly caused by acts or omissions that are breaches by us of our duties under this agreement. Grand Island Council Session - 8/9/2022 Page 129 / 160 AUDIT ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT | Governmental with Federal Single Audit 9 | PA G E BERGANKDV|BERGANKDV.COM|DDO M O R E . SEVERABILITY If any portion of this engagement agreement and summary of engagement terms is held to be void, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever, such portion of this engagement agreement and summary of engagement terms shall be amended to the minimum extent required to make the provision enforceable and the remaining portions of the engagement agreement and summary of engagement terms shall remain in full force and effect. POWER AND AUTHORITY Each of the parties hereto has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this engagement agreement and summary of engagement terms and to carry out and perform its respective obligations hereunder.
