Committee approves three-year extension with Baker Tilly for audit services
Summary
The committee approved a three-year extension of its auditing agreement with Baker Tilly for fiscal years 2025–2027 at a stated fiscal impact of $234,900; a member asked that the city examine its competitive-solicitation practices in a future agenda item.
The committee voted to extend its auditing agreement with Baker Tilly for three years, covering fiscal years 2025–2027, with a stated fiscal impact of $234,900. The extension was approved by voice vote after the item was presented.
A committee member raised a related policy concern before the vote, asking that staff place a future agenda item on city practice around competitive solicitations. "I just wanted to state that I think, this would be a future agenda item where the City really should always review and entertain anything competitive," the member said, and added that the suggestion was "not a judgment or reflection on the services that we're currently receiving from Baker Tilly." The comment was recorded as a request for a policy investigation rather than a complaint about the firm.
The motion to approve the extension was taken by voice vote; the transcript records a call for "aye" and affirmations from the dais but does not record a roll-call or individual member votes. The committee then moved on to other agenda business.
Next steps: staff will place the procurement-consistency item on a future agenda for discussion, according to members' remarks during the meeting.
