Summary
The commission approved an engagement letter with Plant & Moran to conduct the city's 2020-21 financial audit and authorized the city manager to sign; commissioners clarified date wording in the letter before voting.
Mount Clemens commissioners approved an engagement letter with accounting firm Plant & Moran to conduct the audit of the city's financial records for the 2020-21 fiscal year and authorized the city manager to sign the letter.
A commissioner moved to approve the engagement and authorize the city manager to sign. Commissioners discussed the fiscal-year dates that appear in the letter and clarified that the engagement covers last year's fiscal period; staff and commissioners resolved the wording in the motion before taking a roll-call vote to approve the engagement and begin the audit.
Commissioners asked about the prior-year audit cost; staff did not have the exact number on hand and indicated the fee was similar to the prior year and may have been a modest increase. One commissioner cited a recollection that last year's audit fee was about $60,000.
The commission approved the engagement by roll call, allowing staff to proceed with the audit process and related administrative steps.
