City staff seek on‑call financial consulting from Daily Operation Consulting (Tracy Rash)
Summary
Jamie Livermore presented a proposal to hire Daily Operation Consulting for as‑needed financial consulting to keep the city current on audits and to help with upcoming projects; the committee discussed funding and whether services should remain consultant‑based or replaced by in‑house staff over time.
Jamie Livermore introduced a resolution to authorize an as‑needed professional services agreement between the city and Daily Operation Consulting, noting the consultant (Tracy Rash) has experience helping the city catch up on audits from 2019 through 2024.
Livermore told the committee the contract would be used on an as‑needed basis to answer audit questions, help with the Lehi project and provide possible debt‑service management support. "Anytime council had a question that I was unable to fully answer ... we would be able to reach out to Tracy," Livermore said.
Committee members asked whether there is money set aside to pay the consultant. Livermore said the arrangement is envisioned as on‑demand with no fixed upfront payment; if work arises it would be billed against the finance or audit budgets. Members debated whether the city should hire additional permanent finance staff instead of relying on consultants; Livermore said the city would reassess staffing needs at budget time and that the consulting arrangement is intended to provide expertise immediately while the finance office normalizes audit processes.
The transcript does not record a final vote; the committee concluded that the consultant could provide helpful expertise but that the council should review longer‑term staffing and budget implications during the next budget process.
