City staff outline auditor-selection process; finance director acknowledges error in report
City staff discussed auditor selection and the timing of audit-related actuarial reports at the Sept. 16 meeting in the City Hall Council Chamber, and Finance Director Sean Burrison acknowledged an error in prepared materials. Staff told the council that the Western Jersey Auditor's Office provides a list of qualified CPA firms from which the city may choose, and said actuaries must provide reports on a schedule the city can use. "Yes. I made an error," Finance Director Sean Burrison said as he addressed corrections to the materials. He added that he made changes during a review of the documents. The staff presentation referenced a November 6 date tied to earlier work the council had seen. No formal motion or vote on auditor selection occurred on the record during the meeting. The discussion focused on process and timing rather than a final appointment; staff described options for selecting firms and ensuring actuarial reports would be available on a usable timetable. The finance director said he reviewed the prepared documents and made two corrections; he characterized the mistake directly in his remarks. No ordinance, resolution, or contract award related to auditor selection was recorded in the transcript for this agenda item.
