Memorandum
To: Supervisor and Town Board
Re: Authorization- Inter - municipal Agreement
Date: December 28, 2017
This past October the Town of Mamaroneck, Village of Larchmont, City of New Rochelle
and the Village of Pelham Manor (Consortium) completed the Sewer System Evaluation
Study (SSES) in accordance with our agreement with Westchester County. The SSES
has been submitted to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
(DEC) and Westchester County for review. The DEC has provided comments which are
relatively minor and the Consortium has submitted a response to the comments. With
the SSES now complete the next phase of the project is the design and construction of
the repairs and improvements to the sanitary sewer system as identified in the SSES.
Previously the Consortium jointly applied for and received a grant in the amount of
$5,720,000 from the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation under the
Clean Water Program. The funds will be used to defray the estimated $15,000,000
construction costs and a portion of the SSES for the consortium communities
Since we have jointly received the grant, it would be our intention to keep the
Consortium intact as we move into the design and construction phase. Attached is a
proposed inter - municipal agreement between the communities for the construction
phase of this project. Under the terms of the agreement:
The Consortium would work together on the construction phase of the sewer
project.
Our agreement with GHD Engineering would be amended to include the design,
construction oversight and management of the EFC grant.
The Engineering fee proposal from GHD ($995,000) would be divided between
the communities based upon population. This is consistent with the
apportionment of the SSES fee. The Town share would be $117,410.
ACTION REQUESTED: THAT SUBJECT TO FINAL REVIEW AS TO FORM BY THE TOWN
ATTORNEY, THE TOWN BOARD APPROVE THE INTERMUNICIPAL AGREEMENT
RELATIVE TO THE DESIGN, GRANT MANAGEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OVERSIGHT
FOR SEWER SYSTEM REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS AND THAT THE TOWN
ADMINISTRATOR BE AUTHORIZED TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT,
'Stephen V. Altieri
Town Administrator
INTERMUNICIPAL AGREEMENT
RELATIVE TO THE DESIGN, GRANT MANAGEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION
MANAGEMENT SERVICES
An Intermunicipal Agreement ( "IMA" or "Agreement ") dated ,
by and among the City of New Rochelle with offices at 515 North Avenue, New Rochelle, New
York 10801; Town of Mamaroneck with offices at 740 West Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck,
New York 10543; Village of Pelham Manor, 4 Penfield Place, Pelham Manor, New York 10803;
Village of Larchmont, 120 Larchmont Avenue, New York 10538, all municipal subdivisions of
the State of New York situated in the County of Westchester.
WITNES SETH:
WHEREAS, in April 2016 the above identified four municipal entities (the "Municipal
Consortium ") entered into an Intermunicipal Agreement to conduct a sanitary sewer evaluation
study ( "SSES "), a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A;
WHEREAS, the SSES was required pursuant to a Consent Order issued to Westchester
County by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Westchester
County Sewer Act; and
WHEREAS, the SSES has been completed and the Municipal Consortium, as a result of
the Intermunicipal Agreement executed with Westchester County, wish to proceed to the design
and construction phase of the Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project ( "Project "); and
WHEREAS, on September 16, 2016, the Municipal Consortium contracted with GHD
Consulting Services Inc. ( "GHD ") to undertake the SSES; and
WHEREAS, earlier in 2017 the Municipal Consortium received a New York State
Intermunicipal Water Infrastructure Grant for $5,720,000 ( "Grant "), which will be used to offset
40% of the cost of the SSES and the upcoming construction for the Project; and
WHEREAS, given the amount of work GHD has conducted and the institutional
knowledge obtained during the SSES, the Municipal Consortium believe that the Project will
continue most efficiently if GHD is retained to provide next phase design and construction
management services relative to the Project; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the following
mutual covenants, it is agreed by and between the parties as follows:
1. All members of the Municipal Consortium will work together cooperatively to
complete the next phase of the Project and to amend the contract with GHD to provide for
design, grant management and construction management services relative to the Project
( "Services ").
2. The total cost of the Services is $995,000.00 (which represents less than 10% of
the estimated construction cost of $15 million for the Project), to be broken down as follows:
design and grant management services ($395,000.00) and construction management services
($600,000.00). All costs associated with the Services including, without limitation, consultant
fees charged by GHD, and legal fees incurred during this process and in defending against any
lawsuits (including Connecticut Fund for the Environment d/b /a Save the Sound litigation) shall
be shared among the members of Municipal Consortium based upon population as follows:
Village of Larchmont, population 6,549, 6.7% ($66,665.00); Town of Mamaroneck, population
11,501, 11.8% ($117,410.00); City of New Rochelle, population 73,723, 75.8% ($754,210.00);

Mr. Stephen V: Altieri
Town Administrator
Town'of- Mamaroneck
740' W. Boston Post Road
Mamaroneck; New York 1.0543
Dear Mr. Altieri: .
This lettersets forth our.understanding oftheaerrris and objectives. of our engagement,'and the'nature and
scope of the services we will provide to the Town of Mamaroneck,. New. York ( "the Entity "):
Audit-objectives.
We -will audit the Enti 's statements.of' the. governmental .activities; each major.fund and:the aggregate,
remaining:fund information and related: notes to the financial statements, which .collectively comprise-the
basic.financial statements of the' Entity as of and for the year ended December 31'; 2047; wi #h an option to
renew for the years ending: December 31, 20:18;72019, 2020 and 2021 and issue owr report hereon as soon
as reasonably possible after corripletion of our work. We will. also audit the financial statement of the Justice-
court on the basis prescribed by New York State for the years therr ended.
Accounting: principles generally accepted in the- United States. of America ( "US GAAP ") provide for certain
required supplementary information ( "RSl ") such�as .'management's.discussionand analysis to supplement-
_'the . Entity's ;financial statements.. Such; information; althoUgth not a: part of the financial.. statements; is
required by the. Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers. it to .be .an essential part of
fineinciol.reportingfor placing, the financial statements in an appropriate operational ,'.economic, -or historical:
- context. As . part ,of . our engagement, ' we . will.- apply certain, limited procedures: to the Entity's, RSl in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United: States of America ('.`US GRAS"). 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 financial.statements; and other knowledge:we obtained during:our aud. it of the 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 following RSI is required by US GAAP and will be subjected to certain limited procedures; but will not.
be audited:
Management's Discussion and Analysis,
• Schedule of Funding. Progress — Other Post - Employment Benefits
Schedule of Contributions and Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability
PKF O'CONNOR: DAVIES, LLP
500 Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrlson,.NY 10528 1 Tel 914.381.8900 -1 Fax:. 914.381.8910, 1 www.pkfod.com
PKF O'Connor Davies, LLP is a member firm of the PKF International.Limited network of legally independent firms a_ n_d does not accept any responsibility or liability .
. for the actions or inactions on.the'part of ;any other individual member firm or firms
We have also been engaged to report on supplementary information other than the RSI that accompanies
the Entity's financial statements. We will subject the following 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 US GAAS and our auditors' report will provide an opinion on such information in relation
to the financial statements as a whole:
• Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Schedules
• Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
We will conduct the audit in accordance with US GARS, the standards for financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards ( "GAGAS ") issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and the
Uniform Guidance, if applicable, and will include tests of accounting records, a determination of major
programs in accordance with audit requirements of the Uniform Guidance, and other procedures we
consider necessary to enable us to express such an opinion and to render the required reports. The
aforementioned standards require that we obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether caused by error or fraudulent financial
reporting, misappropriation of assets, or violations of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable
to the Entity's or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of the Entity. Because the
determination of abuse is subjective, GAGAS do not expect auditors to provide reasonable assurance of
detecting abuse. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.
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 a risk that material
misstatements may exist and not be detected by us even though the audit is properly planned and
performed in accordance with US GAAS and GAGAS . 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 and on those programs we have determined to be major
programs. However, we will inform the appropriate level of management of any material errors, fraudulent
financial reporting or misappropriation of assets and any material abuse that comes to our attention. We will
include such matters in the reports required for the Uniform Guidance, if applicable. 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.
The objective of an audit is the expression of an opinion on whether these financial statements are
presented fairly, in all material respects, in conformity with US GAAP and to report on the fairness of the
supplementary information referred to in the preceding paragraph when considered in relation to the
financial statements as a whole. The objective also includes reporting on:
• Internal control related to the financial statements and compliance with the provisions of laws,
regulations, 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 Uniform Guidance, if applicable.
2
r
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, we will perform tests of the Entity's compliance with the provisions of applicable laws,
regulations, contracts, agreements, and grants. However, the objective of our audit 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 GAGAS.
Uniform Guidance, if applicable, requires that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the Entity has complied with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of
contracts and grant agreements applicable to major programs. Our procedures will consist of tests of
transactions and other applicable procedures described in the Uniform Guidance for the types of
compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of the Entity's major
programs. The purpose of these procedures will be to express an opinion on the Entity's compliance with
requirements applicable to each of its major programs in our report on compliance issued pursuant to the
Uniform Guidance. As required by audit requirements of the Uniform Guidance, we will also perform tests of
controls over compliance to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of controls that we
consider relevant to prevent or detect 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.
If our opinion on either the financial statements or the requirements of Uniform Guidance, if applicable, is
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 an opinion(s), we may decline to express an
opinion or decline to issue a report as a result of the engagement.
In making our risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Entity's preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's 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 GAGAS. An audit is also not designed to
identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. However, we will communicate to you in writing
concerning any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal control and other internal control
related matters relevant to the audit of the financial statements that we have identified during the audit, as
required by US GARS, GAGAS and the Uniform Guidance, if applicable.
The reports on internal control and compliance will each include a paragraph that states that the purpose of
the report is solely to describe (1) the scope of testing of internal control over financial reporting and
compliance and the result of that testing and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting or on compliance, (2) the scope of testing internal control over compliance
for major programs and major program compliance and the result of that testing and to provide an opinion
on compliance, but not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance, and
(3) that the report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with GAGAS in considering
internal control over financial reporting and compliance and Uniform Guidance, if applicable, in considering
internal control over compliance and major program compliance. The paragraph will also state that the
report is not suitable for any other purpose.
3
ty
At the conclusion of the engagement, we will complete the appropriate sections of the Data Collection Form,
if applicable, that summarize our audit findings. It is management's responsibility to 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 electronic submission and certification. If
applicable, we will provide copies of our report for you to include with the reporting package you will submit
to pass- through entities. The Data Collection Form and the reporting package must be submitted within the
earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditors' reports or nine months after the end of the audit period,
unless a longer period is agreed to in advance by the cognizant or oversight agency for audit.
We will also communicate with those charged with governance any (a) fraud involving senior management
and other fraud that causes a material misstatement of the financial statements; (b) violations of laws or
governmental regulations that come to our attention (unless they are clearly inconsequential); (c)
disagreements with management and other serious difficulties encountered in performing the audit; and, (d)
various matters related to the Entity's accounting policies and financial statements.
As part of our engagement, we may propose standard, adjusting, or correcting journal entries to your
financial statements. Management, however, has final responsibility for reviewing the proposed entries and
understanding the nature and impact of the proposed entries to the financial statements. It is' our
understanding that management has designated qualified individuals with the necessary expertise to be
responsible and accountable for overseeing the acceptance and processing of such journal entries.
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.
Management's responsibilities
The financial statements and their fair presentation in accordance with US GAAP, including all informative
disclosures, RSI and supplementary information, are the responsibility of the Entity's management.
Management is also responsible for: (1) the selection and application of accounting policies; (2) the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and for
informing us of all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of such
controls of which it has knowledge; (3) ensuring the Entity complies with the laws and regulations applicable
to its activities; (4) making all financial records and related information available to us of which you are
aware that is relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, as well as any
additional information that we may request for the purpose of the audit; (5) providing us with unrestricted
access to persons within the Entity from whom we determine it necessary to obtain audit evidence; and (6)
adjusting the financial statements and supplementary information to correct material misstatements.
Management is also responsible for identifying government award programs and understanding and
complying with the compliance requirements, and for preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal
awards in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, if applicable. As part of the audit, we will assist with
preparation of your financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and related notes.
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. You are responsible for making all management decisions
and assuming all management responsibilities relating to the financial statements, schedule of expenditures
of federal awards and related notes, and for accepting full responsibility for such decisions.
4
r
Management's responsibilities include acknowledging to us in the written representation letter that (1) you
are responsible for presentation of the RSI and supplementary information in accordance with US GAAP;
(2) you believe the RSI and supplementary information, including its form and content, is fairly presented in
accordance with US GAAP; (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 RSI and supplementary information.
In order to help ensure that appropriate goals and objectives are met and that there is reasonable
assurance that government programs are administered in compliance with compliance requirements,
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control, including internal
control over compliance, and for evaluating and monitoring ongoing activities.
Management's responsibilities also include identifying any significant vendor relationships in which the
vendor has responsibility for program compliance and for the accuracy and completeness of that
information.
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 or illegal acts affecting the Entity involving (1)
management, (2) employees who have significant roles in internal control, and (3) others where the fraud or
illegal acts 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 Entity received in
communications from employees, former employees, grantors, regulators or others. In addition, you are
responsible for identifying and ensuring that the Entity complies with applicable laws, regulations, contracts,
agreements and grants and for taking timely and appropriate steps to remedy any fraud, illegal acts,
violations of contracts or grant agreements, or abuse that we may report. Additionally, as required by the
Uniform Guidance, it is management's responsibility to follow up and take corrective action on reported audit
findings and to prepare a summary schedule of prior audit findings and a corrective action plan.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a process for tracking the status of audit
findings and recommendations. Management is also responsible for identifying for us previous financial
audits, attestation engagements, performance audits, or other studies related to the objectives discussed in
the audit objectives section of this letter. This responsibility includes relaying to us corrective actions taken
to address significant findings and recommendations resulting from those audits, attestation engagements,
performance audits, or other engagements or studies. The Entity is 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.
At the conclusion of the engagement, we will request from management written confirmation concerning
representations made to us in connection with the audit. The representation letter, among other things, will
confirm management's responsibility for: (1) the preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
US GAAP, (2) the availability of financial records and related data, and (3) the completeness and availability
of all minutes of board meetings. Management's representation letter will further confirm that: (1) the effects
of any uncorrected misstatements aggregated by us during the engagement and pertaining to the latest
period presented are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as
a whole, and (2) we have been informed of, or that there were no incidences of, fraud involving
management or those employees who have significant roles in the Entity's internal control. You will also be
required to acknowledge in the management representation letter, when applicable, our assistance with
preparation of the financial statements and related schedules, RSI and the schedule of expenditures of
federal awards and that you have reviewed and approved the financial statements, aforementioned
5
awl
schedules and RSI, and related notes prior to their issuance and have accepted responsibility for them. We
will place reliance on these representations in issuing our report.
In the event that we become obligated to pay any cost, settlement, judgment, fine, penalty, or similar award
or sanction as a result of a claim, investigation, or other proceeding instituted by any third party, as a direct
or indirect result of an intentional, knowing or reckless misrepresentation or provision to us of inaccurate or
incomplete information by the Entity or, any elected official, member of management or employee thereof in
connection with this engagement, and not any failure on our part to comply with professional standards, you
agree to indemnify us against such obligations.
To the best of your knowledge, you are unaware of any facts which might impair our independence with
respect to this engagement.
The financial statements are the property of the Entity and can be reproduced and distributed as
management desires. You may wish to include our report on these financial statements in a registration
statement proposed to be filed under the Securities Act of 1933 or in some other securities offering. You
agree that reference to our Firm will not be included in any such offering without our prior permission or
consent. Any agreement to perform work in connection with an offering, including an agreement to provide
permission or consent, will be a separate engagement.
If you do not engage us for this service, the following paragraph must be included in the offering statement —
"PFK O'Connor Davies, LLP, our independent auditor, has not been engaged to perform and has not
performed, since the date of its report included herein, any procedures on the financial statements
addressed in that report. PKF O'Connor Davies, LLP also has not performed any procedures relating to this
official statement."
With regard to the electronic dissemination of audited financial statements, including financial statements
published electronically on your website, you understand that electronic sites are a means to distribute
information and, therefore, we are not required to read the information contained in these sites or to
consider the consistency of other information in the electronic site with the original document.
We understand that your accounting department personnel will assist us to the extent practicable in
completing the audit. They will provide us with detailed trial balances, supporting schedules, and other
information we deem necessary. A list of these schedules and other items of information will be furnished to
you before we begin the audit. The timely and accurate completion of this information is an essential
condition to our completion of the audit and the issuance of the audit report.
We keep documents related to this engagement in accordance with our records retention policy and
applicable regulations. However, we do not keep any original client records, so we will return those to you at
the completion of the services rendered under this engagement. When records are returned to you, it is your
responsibility to retain and protect your records for possible future use, including potential examination by
any government or regulatory agencies.
You agree that you will not include our report, or otherwise make reference to us, in any public or private
debt securities offering without first obtaining our consent. Such a request constitutes a new engagement
and is subject to our firm's acceptance procedures. If we elect to accept this engagement, our fees for the
additional procedures required in connection with this service are outside the scope of the current
engagement and will be established with you prior to the commencement of our work.
Management is responsible for management decisions and assuming all management responsibilities; for
designating an individual with suitable skill, knowledge, and /or experience to oversee the non -attest
N
services we provide; and for evaluating the adequacy and results of those services and accepting
responsibility for them.
Non - reliance on Oral Advice
It is our policy to put all advice on which a client intends to rely in writing. We believe that is necessary to
avoid confusion and to make clear the specific nature and limitations of our advice. You should not rely on
any advice that has not been put in writing by our firm after a full supervisory review.
Electronic and other communication
During the course of the engagement, we may communicate with you or with Entity personnel via fax or e-
mail. You should be aware that communication in those media may be unsafe to use and contains a risk of
misdirection and /or interception by unintended third parties, or failed delivery or receipt. In that regard, you
agree that we shall have no liability for any loss or damage to any person or entity resulting from the use of
e -mail or other electronic transmissions, including any consequential, incidental, direct, indirect or special
damages.
Access to working papers
During the course of this engagement, we will develop files of various documents, schedules and other
related engagement information known as our working papers. As we are sure you can appreciate, these
working papers may contain confidential information and our firm's proprietary data. You understand and
agree that these working papers are, and will remain, our exclusive property. Except as discussed below,
any requests for access to our working papers will be discussed with you before making them available to
requesting parties:
(1) Our firm, as well as other accounting firms, participates in a peer review program covering our audit
and accounting practices. This program requires that once every three years we subject our system
of quality control to an examination by another accounting firm. As part of this process, the other firm
will review a sample of our work. It is possible that the work we perform for you may be selected for
review. If it is, the other firm is bound by professional standards to keep all information confidential.
(2) We may be requested to make certain working papers available to regulators pursuant to authority
given to them by law, regulation or subpoena. Such regulators may include (i) 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; (ii) the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants; and (iii) the State Education Department. If
requested, access to such working papers will be provided under the supervision of our personnel.
Furthermore, upon request, we may provide photocopies of selected working papers to them. The
regulator may intend, or decide, to distribute the photocopies or information contained therein to
others, including other government agencies.
