March 24, 2017 To the Board of Directors Platte Canyon Water and Sanitation District Arapahoe and Jefferson Counties, Colorado We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, and each major fund of Platte Canyon Water and Sanitation District for the year ended December 31, 2016, and have issued our report thereon dated March 24, 2017. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. Responsibilities under U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards As stated in the engagement letter, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to express opinions about whether the financial statements prepared by management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your responsibilities. Generally accepted accounting principles provide for certain required supplementary information (RSI) to supplement the basic financial statements. Our responsibility with respect to the required supplementary information, which supplements the basic financial statements, is to apply certain limited procedures in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. However, the RSI will not be audited and, because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance, we will not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI. We have been engaged to report on supplemental information, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI.

Overview: This course introduces you to technical and professional writing. It offers practical information about communicating in different kinds of workplace environments and professional communities. You will produce and analyze many common technical writing genres: email messages, letters, resumes, memos, reports, proposals, technical descriptions, technical definitions, technical manuals, proposals, etc. We are using workplace television shows and popular culture to provide content for assignments as well as drawing from your real-world experiences. General Education Objectives: • This course confers General Education credit for either Composition (C). This course also fulfills 6,000 of the university’s 24,000-word writing requirement (WR). • Composition courses provide instruction in the methods and conventions of standard written English (grammar, punctuation, usage), as well as the techniques that produce effective texts. Composition courses are writing intensive. They require multiple drafts submitted to your instructor for feedback before final submission. • Course content should include multiple forms of effective writing, different writing styles, approaches and formats, and methods to adapt writing to different audiences, purposes and contexts. Students should learn to organize complex arguments in writing using thesis statements, claims and evidence, and to analyze writing for errors in logic. 1 • The University Writing Requirement (WR) ensures students both maintain their fluency in writing and use writing as a tool to facilitate learning.
